I hate when I haven't been around for a few days and my icons disappear. It is like my own little motivator to post more! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--/page/2#post-932755 Wed, 15 May 2013 05:58:05 +0000 Marley 932755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I LOVE getting points - especially comedy points!&nbsp; To me, being thought of as funny is a great compliment! - so no problems here! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--/page/2#post-932746 Wed, 15 May 2013 05:31:04 +0000 K. Period. 932746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I KNOW! &nbsp;Why are comedy points so hard to get?!? &nbsp;Not that my badges mean anything to me&nbsp;(((shining badges))). &nbsp;<br /><br />Honestly, I take people at face value and prefer to live my life that way (says the lawyer, which is crazy, right?). &nbsp;But for me, my professional life is different from my personal life. &nbsp;I get paid to be suspicious and I figure I get all that out of my system in the professional setting, which leaves me free to be positive in my personal life. &nbsp;My husband has commented that he thinks people don't know how to take me because I am relatively guileless in my non-work personal interactions. &nbsp;Not stupid. Not naive. I just generally prefer to think that people aren't loading things up with a lot of hidden subtext. &nbsp;That isn't the same as saying that I don't appreciate sarcasm (I find it roaringly funny, indulge in it often&nbsp;and live in the city of sarcasm, Portlandia). &nbsp;Anyhow, I guess that was a really long route to saying that I really appreciate comedy awards when I get them and I've always assumed that people mean well when they give them. &nbsp;And that's how I want to live my life. &nbsp;Feel free to smiley face the heck out of me. &nbsp;:) &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--/page/2#post-932734 Wed, 15 May 2013 04:49:10 +0000 Adelfa 932734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That's okay, Deborah, I think I'm pretty funny but I rarely get a comedy point so.... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--/page/2#post-932687 Wed, 15 May 2013 02:44:46 +0000 Deborah 932687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Im&nbsp; not an overly funny person and cannot tell a joke to save myself, so if someone awards me a comedy icon/points I am usually thrilled.:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--#post-932683 Wed, 15 May 2013 02:41:07 +0000 Nicole D 932683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Maybe the owl. &nbsp;Looks a bit toilet like from a distance.<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--#post-932678 Wed, 15 May 2013 02:36:09 +0000 Sarah A 932678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I too would never be offended by a comedy appreciation. I've looked at Suz's icons but really ... Where is Suz's toilet? I cant figure out which one it is!!! Critic?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--#post-932617 Wed, 15 May 2013 01:31:30 +0000 Adelfa 932617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Donna, I feel sure your support staff will work their butts off for you! They know you know how much you need them, and that you will fight for them when they can't fight for themselves.<br /><br />Not very funny. I so rarely am. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--#post-932481 Tue, 14 May 2013 23:31:05 +0000 rachylou 932481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lol, Diane! You cracked me up for sure.<br /><br />Also, I now have to go closely examine Suz's icons.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--#post-932475 Tue, 14 May 2013 23:28:34 +0000 Karie 932475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm a goofball IRL, so I love getting comedy points! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--#post-932465 Tue, 14 May 2013 23:24:47 +0000 Fruitful 932465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm constantly having to look up what the icons mean. Yesterday my 4 year old decided to "read" Suz's: he went "record, pencil, fire, number one, happy face, Japanese kung fu, toilet, beep, rope, paper, iPod, tick tock, photo". Not in that order at first, originally it was just "toilet". https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--#post-932349 Tue, 14 May 2013 21:40:48 +0000 Nicole D 932349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I would like to get nothing but comedy points. &nbsp;I am always trying to be funny. &nbsp;Except about my desire for comedy points, then I am always deadly serious. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--#post-932346 Tue, 14 May 2013 21:38:22 +0000 DonnaF 932346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi, Adelfa;<br /><br />My clients are legal clients; I'm an immigration attorney who does mostly business, family, and naturalization cases.&nbsp; Not deportation or asylum and definitely not Big Law.&nbsp; Lot of women practice immigration -- which is a signal that it pays crappy.&nbsp; And I went through school when women were to dress frumpily so that they would be taken Seriously.&nbsp; Can't look good and be smart at the same time, ya know.&nbsp; Or god forbid, be taken as support staff (which as I well know runs the whole place).&nbsp; So short, younger looking than I am, and occasionally have to contend with clients who say that if they had more money they would go to a *real* attorney, meaning an Anglo male.&nbsp; But I've also had clients who think that Asians and/or women (I'm Asian American) will work better and harder for them so I suppose it all evens out. &nbsp; <br /><br />Flakey clients I will tolerate, but not those who behave rudely to support staff.&nbsp; I have no sense of humor there and would not hesitate to fire a client.&nbsp; Most people are polite, and really, it takes no more energy to be civil than it does to be uncivil. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--#post-932343 Tue, 14 May 2013 21:35:46 +0000 Suz 932343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I award comedy points generously, too. I figure smiling and laughter are good for us all and should be celebrated. I would never feel offended if someone awarded me a point (of any kind)! Even a comedy point if I meant to be serious. Oftentimes posts are mixed with funny bits and serious bits - so if the funny bit was what the recipient noticed most, that is good with me!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--#post-932283 Tue, 14 May 2013 20:14:45 +0000 Adelfa 932283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara, so glad I'm not the only one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--#post-932229 Tue, 14 May 2013 18:59:37 +0000 kellygirl 932229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lol--I didn't even think that comedy points might be inappropriate. I often award them because the poster made me laugh (intentionally or unintentionally.) &nbsp;I hope I haven't offended anyone. FWIW, I'm happy to get comedy points at any time.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--#post-932228 Tue, 14 May 2013 18:57:16 +0000 Anonymous 932228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Rachylou cracks me up .

You may even mock me, affectionately of course. I <i>do</i> find it helpful if people yell "FAT COW" first in person before they mock me, so I know they're not upset. I may be a cow, but I am not fat, so this is how I know. <br /><br />Seriously, do not worry about the cow aspect. I have animal medicine things to work out with Cow. Don't ask or I will have to tell my drinking stories... or stories of attempted drinking thwarted by cows.<br /><br />You think I jest. I do not. <i>Mwahaha</i> ;&gt;<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--#post-931905 Tue, 14 May 2013 12:06:47 +0000 Mochi 931905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I feel like I get a lot of comedian points. What does that say about me. No one here takes me seriously. Hmph. KIDDING. I don't have a problem either way. I also wish I was more of a stickler about GIVING points, because I often don't bother. Just saying for the record that every single reply I get is great, and sorry for not rating them, but I appreciate them all.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--#post-931898 Tue, 14 May 2013 11:47:25 +0000 Anonymous 931898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like getting them because they are so hard to get!

In a similar way I sometimes give therapy badges when someone made me feel better about something even if the comment was not therapeutic in the traditional sense. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--#post-931858 Tue, 14 May 2013 06:08:05 +0000 Mo 931858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think acknowledgement is the most important part of any of these buttons. &nbsp;Some responses are all - therapeutic, solutions, comedy, uplifting. &nbsp;I just choose the dominant theme as best I can. &nbsp;But a grin does usually earn a comedy from me. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--#post-931845 Tue, 14 May 2013 05:33:58 +0000 Liz A. 931845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with the other responders. I love getting comedy points even if I'm not meaning to be funny. I know no one here means any harm </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--#post-931841 Tue, 14 May 2013 05:26:43 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 931841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree it's hardest to award or achieve comedy points. It's so seldom that a response has ONLY the effect of getting a laugh. Usually if someone makes a little joke or pun, it's also along with some constructive criticism. I'd be happy to get a comedy point for making someone smile; I wouldn't take it as indication that my advice was just taken as a complete joke. <br />I also find therapy points hard to achieve and award. At some level, so much of YLF is therapeutic, isn't it? Comedy and all? (Or is it just me??)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comedian-icons--#post-931840 Tue, 14 May 2013 05:25:30 +0000 rae 931840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's such a friendly community here. If I got a comedy point when I didn't intend to be funny, I'd be totally ok with it. I couldn't imagine anyone on this forum awarding a point as a way to laugh <i>at</i> my comment.&nbsp;
