Will, I think you and I would get along swimmingly.
When someone is that judgmental of other people in person, it's a lot more entertaining to me than it is on the internet.
Like, I had a friend in college who just judged everybody and talked loudly about it with his friends. I mean, I'd never want to date him or be, like, best friends with him or something, but he was a pretty funny guy and it was fun to hang out with him.
i'm probably a lot more tolerant of stuff in real life than i am on the interbutts
like, i might not care for someone's choices but i don't want to hurt anyone's feelings and it's not really my place to tell them how to live their lives
i dunno. chu and sarks hung out with me some over pax. they'd probably have a better perspective on it.
i said it a while back, but yeah.
in person will's grumpy affectations don't shine through that way. they seem fraternal/paternal, not finger pointing like nelson muntz, haha 'fuck that guy' kind of stuff. he just kind of smiles, looks down, and shakes his head sadly. it's the indulgent disapproval of someone who's been where you are and wants intensely to let you know that in 10 years you'll realize you were being incredibly lame- for your own good.
i don't really have any sort of 'fuck him' macho pride, to speak of. i've had like, a carton of eggs thrown at me by dickheaded teenagers and kept walking, people shout names at me or whatever and not cared. a lot of it just had to do with your environment, and it's not something that can really be understood by someone who hasn't had to endure it.
I think a few of you seem like you'd get into fights over pretty bullshit things
or at least you try to project that image
I would work pretty hard to avoid a fight
like I could walk away from pretty much any verbal provocation
I think someone would actually have to hit me in the face to start a fight
although on the flip side I am pretty okay with confrontation in general
so maybe that makes me more likely to get punched in the face
I dunno
I'm much more likely to try to talk things out now then when I was younger. I haven't been in a proper fight in a decade or so, although I did get punched in the face a few months back.

Yeah, fighting is a waste of time unless it's in self defense or in defense of others, even for obnoxious shit.

what i'm getting at is that there are some neighborhoods where defense of self/others is so common a need that people who've never had to live in that kind of environment... don't really understand. like, they assume you're the problem.
I'm pretty sad that you're not making it to PAX West this year, Will.
Hopefully I'll be in a position to make it to PAX East in March.
yeah i'm disappointed as well
just a lot of expenses kind of lined up this year
my parents pressured me into vacationing with them in colorado
and i'm buying frankie lasic for her birthday
finally paid off my lingering grad school loans
on top of just having spent a lot of money in general.
i def am looking forward to paxeast next year, even if it's being held in a lamer part of town than the last one. i can't really overstate how much fun i had hanging out with my internets friends

Yeah, I've been there.
I was the nicest kid in the whole damn world, but most of you have heard my stories about other kids trying to stab me all the time and coming at me in packs.

I've never just gotten into a random street confrontation that ended in blood.
Had my ass kicked once by a then-girlfriend's ex boyfriend. One time got mugged with pepper spray (that fucking sucks, btw). Other than that it's been either in the ring or domestic. Or drunken messing around with friends.
there's been more than one occasion back when i was single where i would see someone in a bar or something and be like "oh they're pretty attrac-..."
and then i'd notice the ear stretching
then i'd go back to my drink and move along
It makes me sad that you and I will never get to do it. Breaks my heart.
This happened to me!
Was chatting with this cute girl and she accidentally popped out one of her erring spacer thingies and I was immediately all "Eww". Turns out she stretches them out and then lets them close up and just keeps repeating and she never stretches them way out, only to about 3/8". Which just looks like a normal earrings honestly so I was far less disturbed.
Of course the bouncer had like 2" holes in his lobes. How dumb do you have to be to be a bouncer and do that? It's like "Here, I've installed rings to make it easier for you to yank my face into your forhead, enjoy!"

You just want someone to stick it in your earhole.
but they're listening to every word I say

i am also like this with smoking
i wouldn't date smokers
smoking is gross man
I've been around a lot of drunken idiots but none of them have swung at me
well except my brother
Hopefully I'll be in a position to make it to PAX East in March.

My very best friend is a smoker. It breaks my heart every goddamn day.
I'm on the right

it was pretty good I thought
it was nice to meet you too
Cardboard Tube is more of my internet dad. Emotionally distant and only interacts with me to punish my ass or insult me.
I can't tell if you are more They Might Be Giants or Talking Heads
but they're listening to every word I say

That was not on my list of concerns when considering a piercing.
It looks like your glasses go through your ears.
Which makes you a hardcore academic.
Or a bionic philosopher.
Or something.
Sam Adams longshot winner bock tasted of grape peel.
It was pretty good.
but they're listening to every word I say
i'm a pretty princess
stuck in the darkest, dankest tower
So what's up, [chat]?

Come to Seattle.
They only beat us princesses here if we're into it. :winky:
My first thought was Egon from the Ghostbusters movie.
This should be a character in a steampunk something.
Confusing Euphemisms!

I'm actually a superhero, and taking confusing pictures is a necessary step towards concealing my identity.
this is going to be excellent
