Sir Philip Sidney is not Amused
I LOVE THIS TUMBLR! <3

Thank you!  :D

Sometimes people are constantly forcing the meme, making it unfunny without realizing, but this is not the case

Thank you!  I’m glad it’s not forced/unfunny.  :D

As a guy who has recently majored in English I think that this is awesomely funny, kudos good sir, or madam (I think you once mentioned you were a girl but I'm not so sure). So ignore the haters :D

Hate mail makes me smile, actually.  ^_^

I am quite glad you’re enjoying the meme.  :D

Gender makes no difference to me—most of my closer friends address me as male in jest, so I’m used to it….

iamsirdan reblogged your post: That ‘Sir Philip Sidney is not amused’ bullshit isn’t fucking funny.

It’s probably only funny…people who like “English Major”-type jokes. There are several…

Oh so it’s one of those pretentious wanker jokes that people use to try and make themselves seem oh so witty.

I tried answering this on my personal account and it didn’t work because my browser doesn’t like Tumblr (I should have answered it here in the first place, though, so whatever).  Trying again:

The intent of this meme was never to be pretentious.  Some people just don’t find it funny, while other people do.  I probably don’t think half the things you find humorous are funny.

Unrelated, “wanker” is an awesome word.  Just saying.

this is the best blog ever. thank you.

You are very welcome.  I’m sorry the posts have been so few and far between lately.

I love the way he worked Sir Philip Sidney into the comments thread.  But on topic, if you’re going to get annoyed at other people’s bad English, you better be good at English yourself.  It’s especially ironic that the original poster misused an apostrophe while complaining about people who misuse apostrophes.  *shaking my head*

You are so awesome for thinking I&#8217;m a guy&#8230;.:X(Not sarcasm)
