DirtyHarry Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 the newbie girl stuff gets prana top photos in the gallery so stfu... Once I see one worth looking at, I won't be complaining. Quote
chucK Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 Most of the time, extremely unpretentious people are not very exciting to watch. This is a show here damnit! Stop trying to impose your manners constraints on us, you bunch of whiny wannabee wankers. Ever go see some of those punk bands who derided the rock-star guitar heroes? The thoroughly unpretentious, stare at their shoe guys (Royal Trux guitarist was so shy he'd always have his back to the audience)? Cool music a lot of time but the shows? Pretentious people can make for some damn fun reading. Unless of course it makes you upset cause you think you're better than them. I'd suggest not calling 'em pretentious ('cause that's actually quite pretentious, you wanker!), just call 'em lame, if that's how you see it. Maybe that'll make you feel better. Quote

You can be pretentious as hell if you're cool and get away with it. If you're pretentious and dumb. You are suck. Quote
chucK Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 If you're pretentious and dumb. You are suck. Won't argue with you there, but just to belabor my point, I'd also add "entertaining". Quote
Dru Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 if youre pretentious and you know it, clap your hands more energy should be spent making list of scarf wearers. addie, icegirl, pandora, just from looking thru galley. who else. is this some sort of trend? Quote
foraker Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 Gee, I can't see why the ladies here wouldn't start thinking some of you are more than a little bit creepy. Quote
Dru Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 yeah its double creepy when your pm inbox fills up with pictures they send you of them wearing scarves Quote
foraker Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 I can see that. Didn't know you had groupies though, Dru. Do you call them 'Droopies'? Quote
foraker Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 Well, it's all part of your Amazing Love Adventure. Quote
willstrickland Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 more energy should be spent making list of scarf wearers. addie, icegirl, pandora....who else. is this some sort of trend? I believe NOLSe and his cohort also belong on your list there Dru...no comment on why they wear the scarves Quote
badvoodoo Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 Damn, he could rap a pitch off that thing... Quote
cj001f Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 Damn, he could rap a pitch off that thing... I think he uses it to clean pitch out of something judging by the expression Quote

I believe NOLSe and his cohort also belong on your list there Dru...no comment on why they wear the scarves I wear a bandana (not a scarf) for a few reasons... Primarily it is a habit I picked up from running ultras... one can use it as a mask on dusty parts of the trail, wrap ice cubes in it during the day, deal with sweat, etc etc… Additionally I wear it because I am a big fan of Johnny Cash and MFDoom (both sport them in some fashion though MF wears a mask on stage) and finally Pandora (whom I am dating) thinks its "hott" which might answer any questions concerning my sexual orientation. How do you like me now? Quote
iain Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 How do you like me now? Not very much. And Dru, everyone knows you are Dr Who's number 1 fan. Have you gotten over the fact that the B.C. vanity plate "TARDIS" is already taken? Quote
Dru Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 I wanted EXTERMINATE but it's too many letters to fit on the plate Quote
Off_White Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 Greg, back to work you weak poodle-arsed slumgullion, booths 7 through 29 still need cleaning, and I don't want to hear any more whining about sores on your tongue. No wonder you're underemployed. Quote
willstrickland Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 I wear a bandana (not a scarf) for a few reasons... Semantics son, semantics. Primarily it is a habit I picked up from running ultras... Thump, thump! and finally Pandora (whom I am dating) thinks its "hott" Do you also piss on the tree in the yard? which might answer any questions concerning my sexual orientation. Yep, still look like a fag with that fairy scarf around your neck. How do you like me now? Not much. Quote
