Humor Round 4 - meeting
At our weekly meeting last night, The MOST talked about our writing efforts of the last week. We had discussions about how the writing as it stands feels like food with too much salt, or like something you'd eat that needs an ingredient you can't quite put your finger on.
We also talked a lot about how we are being asked to write about humor and create a curriculum about humor, but that we don't necessarily see ourselves or Mostlandia as something that strives to be humorous.
We talked about how people in Mostlandia might approach being told that they must have some deep insights into humor. We think that Mostlandics might not be able to see what is so funny about their lives. As such, they would likely form a committee to explore whether or not that assumption is true, and to what extent. It may be that Mostlandia, at its most mundane, might actually be humorous to Citizens of Other Places, and the committee would be responsible for discovering what that is about.
We spent a lot of time discussing acronyms for this committee. Humorous Extension on Living Protocols/Projects. Huge Exploration of Laughter/Lost/Projects. Discovery of Everyday Situations Klub. Thoughtful Entertainment and Everyday Situations....
We eventually settled on: The Group for Aesthetics and Silliness in Everyday Situations (GASES)
