Do you know any nincompoops? I bet you do.

Are you a nincompoop? Don't worry about it if you are. I like nincompoops...from a safe distance. In fact, several of my good close friends are nincompoops. Often, people like to keep a nincompoop around as a friend. We do this partially for entertainment, and partially because it makes us look smarter by comparison and less of a nincompoop. ;)

Nincompoops are usually a lot more fun to hang around with than idiots or dolts. Idiots and Dolts tend to lean more toward the 'stupid' side than the 'foolish' side of the line. Let me give you an example: THere's an open manhole cover exposing a section of sewer brimming with raw sewage. A dolt will be walking by, scrunch his nose, wonder what that smell was and plunge down the unseen hole into the nastiness below. A nincompoop, on the other hand, will stop, notice the source of the smell, walk over, take a closer look, notice a dollar, try to reach the dollar and fall in by accident.

Both are fun, but nincompoops usually have better stories to tell.

I like watching nincompoops - they are funny :D

Yes. It should be an essential part of every supervillains lexicon.

Nincompoops!

Watching nincompoops should be an olympic sport. And so should professional nincompoopery.

Edit: I'm such a nincompoop. I meant AMATEUR nincompoopery should be an olympic sport. it's no fun if they mean it.

I had a bout of nincompoops one time after a trip to Tijuana.

Tijuana attracts nincompoops. *pauses* Wait, why were YOU there? :)

:eek: I can so relate to this nincompoop. I know I am one for sure now, anyone else is a nincompoop?

How dare you parody my thread! You...You...Nincompoopula!

I had a friend back in Port Aransas. His name was Stephen Fouler.

Really nice guy. Smart, too. But he was a total loon, man. He even admitted to his sheer lunacy! Too bad that he moved a year before I did...

Because he is the Lunatic Goofballs.

I might be. As with most things, I defy description so it's hard to be sure. I often engage in nincompoopery deliberately, knowing full well I am being foolish. I do this for the enertainment of myself as well as others. UNfortunately, I'm cursed with the ability to laugh at myself. So, for instance, when I get struck in the groin and I'm writhing on the ground, gasping AND laughing, it makes people assume 'Hey, he's got a sense of humor about it. It must be okay to hit this fool in the groin!'. It has cost me dearly. :(

Nevertheless, I recognize my foolish behavior for the nincompoopery it is, and I deliberately choose to engage in that behavior anyway. I guess that makes me a nincompoop too. :)

Did I? I didn't even realize.

Groovy. :)

Then i shall castrate him! Then he will be Lunatic Goof! mwahahahah let's see if he'll have the balls to mock me then eh? But you know what...he won't! Cause he'll be castrated! hahahahahhahahah

*starts sharpening a scalpel*

here kitty, kitty, kitty.

I live with two nincompoops. Which kinda makes me an idiot. Example: When asked why the dishes aren't done I'll get a comment on the space/time continuim(sp?). If they look for something, the idea of moving things never occurs to them. After we moved, one of them got lost twice trying to get to his job of three years.

Okay, that's just weird.
