I am never taken seriously on the hardcore race/social justice discussion website Racialicious. But it is ok. I still visit often and once in a while cannot help but put in my $0.02 worth and continue to be ignored by the other commenters that are a lot more serious than I am… Because…
Oh yeah.
For the very serious discussion: “POLITICAL CORRECTNESS” IS A REACTIONARY TERM AGAINST THE LOSS OF PRIVILEGE I decided to lighten up the scene by interjecting (injecting) some humor in it:
I see the term “politically correct” or “politically incorrect” as the new “I am sorry but no offense” or the new “with all due respect”. It is mostly used with “quotation marks” and often accompanied by “wink wink”. I think from now on when somebody uses the term in the “quotation mark” way, we should combat it with Jazz Hands…
I thought that was a brilliant idea. No?

vs.
Possibly the most macho Jazz Hands you'll ever see
Seriously. I cannot be 100% serious at all times.
Jessica, Mami, and Nancy, thank you very much for the vote of confidence. There is a reason why I am so addicted to the Interweb. I am getting all my ego boost here that is sorely lacking in real life… 😉
“No offense” to anyone who doesn’t agree and “With all due Respect” to them…I think you are brilliant.

I had to come back and say that maybe you are not taken seriously on the “hardcore” sites because you are not a hardbore.
.-= Unknown Mami´s last blog…Excuses =-.
Yah…I’m way late but totally vote jazz hands.
.-= Jessica´s last blog…uhhh…thanks, mother nature. or gravity. one of those. =-.
I’m so going to use Jazz hands in my next meeting at work. They take that work thing wayyyy to seriously. =0

How can you not be taken seriously? Honestly, what is life, commentary, or anything without some humor. I appreciate your commentary and humor and I’ve been trying to find a way to incorporate jazz hands into my life.

Dear Mami, we share the love for Milan Kundera AND flan. What more can I say? I love your I Comment Therefore I Am feature. (Well, duh. LOL) Since I can’t stalk you in the cyber space, I appreciate being able to read the choice comments that you left all over the Interweb. 🙂
jazz hands get the finger from me too!

I was going to say, How can you not love Jazz Hands? Look at this one:

But then I came across this one, unfortunately, and *cough cough* yeah, I would give them the finger too…

UGH.
Hee.
Where do you stand on the “point finger like gun and click your tongue in a ‘you got it’ kind of way” issue?
Oh. I guess that should read point finger like gun and click your tongue in a ‘you got it’ kind of way issue?

😉 Smartie.
I am fine as long as you are George Clooney and you are starring in an animated film directed by Wes Anderson.
Well, that settles it. Jazz hands it is. Starting tomorrow.
The more the merrier. We are forming an online Chorus Line. 🙂
You never fail to make me laugh! But what I love even more is the fact that you make me laugh about something that is so true – something we should take a second look at and think about more seriously.

Glad to help because you do not think enough! (THAT was said in a very sarcastic tone…) 😉
Excellent use of the Jets! You can’t forget the old Southern preface of “I just love [insert name of person about to be slandered] to pieces, but….”
.-= Elly Lou´s last blog…Intimidation =-.
I need to copy that one. You are like my supplier of new words and phrases. So far I also have Shartle. And I just discovered Toe-gina. Seriously, girl. Let me know when Oxford Dictionary called.
Marvelous! Simply marvelous!
I’m getting my Jazz Hands ready… Time to combat the Quote Fingers.
Wink wink.
.-= Jen @ NathanRising´s last blog…A Cat’s Addiction =-.
Nooooo! You did not just give me the Palin wink!
“Wink Wink”
*Jazz hands*
Now, that’s an excellent idea!
.-= Mama Zen´s last blog…Life: The Reality Show =-.
You are awesome!
.-= Robin´s last blog…The Creepiness of Santa =-.
Thank you. The title of your recent blog is very intriguing. I need to go check it out now.
That is fucking genius. I use the quotes fingers (ewww that sounds dirty sorry the last blogger mentioned rape. You know what you don’t really need to know.) and shall switch to jazz hands. Hilarity will ensue. Ensue…
.-= mepsipax´s last blog…Feckin hell =-.
I can’t picture you with Jazz hands. Well, I can’t picture you. Period. Hmm. How about I picture you looking like James Dean doing Jazz Hands? I think that would be kind of funny, esp. if he does it while he’s on his motorcycle…
I think this is genius and absolutely hilarious! Some people take themselves WAYYYYYY too seriously. Thanks for the laugh this morning.

You are welcome! It’s nice to know I bring joy to the world.
