Post something about yourself that will make half the lounge hate you.

[LostInAnomie]

I'll start: I think poetry in almost all its forms sucks ass, and is written by people that think they are a lot deeper than they really are.

I also think evolutionary psychology gets a lot more things right than people give it credit for.

Flame away!!! :nuke: :hi: :nuke:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. I had dinner at Applebees this evening.

Is that heinous enough? Or should I have also breast-fed a baby while talking on my cellphone? I didn't have cornflake-breaded chicken, though...

[Radio_Lady]

150. I ate lunch at the Olive Garden on Sunday, and there were seven other people with me.

Everything we ordered was delicious.

Sorry the DU enforced "IGNORE" people on my list can't see this!

No recriminations, either.

Radio Lady in Oregon

[Blue-Jay]

180. Olive Garden is a casual dining American restaurant chain specializing in Italian food.

It bills itself as a traditional family restaurant with Old World-inspired dishes. Founded in 1982 in Orlando, Florida, there are presently 611 Olive Garden locations throughout the United States and Canada.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

181. the Olive (Olea europaea) is a species of small tree in the family Oleaceae

native to coastal areas of the eastern Mediterranean region, from Lebanon and the maritime parts of Asia Minor and northern Iran at the south end of the Caspian Sea. Its fruit, the olive, is of major agricultural importance in the Mediterranean region as the source of olive oil.

[jberryhill]

315. It's a beautiful tree

A few months ago, I drove from Madrid to Lisbon, and we took some detours along the way.

The olive groves were lovely.

[Richardo]

182. Olive Garden was originally developed by General Mills, Inc.,

...but in June 1995, General Mills spun off its restaurant division into Darden Restaurants, Inc.

[Blue-Jay]

185. More info here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_Garden

edit: YOU'RE WELCOME!

[Pool Hall Ace]

216. So shouldn't the restaurant be called Olive Darden?

:hi:

[Richardo]

291. .

:hi:

[NJCher]

323. OK, this will tick everyone off!!!!

I used to work for General Mills in the restaurant division, which was Red Lobster and some other chains. I was there when they did the prototype and focus group testing for the Olive Garden concept. Being a corporate yes person, I told them I thought the concept was a slam dunk.

No seriously, I told them I thought it was the stupidest effing idea I'd ever heard. I said "Did you people learn anything when you went into Boston and tried to sell southern lobsters?" The freaking morons nearly had their Red Lobster restaurants bombed for that (they had to shut them down periodically because of bomb threats--Bostonians take their lobster seriously). Finally they just got the hell out of dodge but not after dumping millions down the drain in promo.

Seriously guys--I tried to stop it. I just wasn't successful.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

234. I hate tomatoes and am allergic to them. No Olive Garden for me.

No pizza either. There must be Italian restaurants that don't put tomatoes on everything, but I have yet to find one. At least a cheap one.

[Maine-ah]

186. we don't serve cornflake breaded chicken

:evilgrin:

[MorningGlow]

2. Uh...I just ate a cupcake?

With a whole mess of chocolate frosting? :shrug:

[Dr. Strange]

9. God, I hate you!

You and your cupcake eating...with your mess of chocolate frosting...
You disgust me.

Um, can I have a cupcake too?

[MorningGlow]

10. There is one left...!

Don't hate me because I'm covered in frosting. I hate myself for breaking my diet. But not enough to NOT eat it, knaamean?

[Dr. Strange]

17. Cool!

Thanks for sharing. I love you now!

P.S. Diets were made to be broken. (That's why cupcakes and cheetos, etc, taste so good. It's nature's way of saying "Don't diet!")

[MorningGlow]

23. You fickle!

You also easily bought! Me likey that in a person. :evilgrin:

Ta for the justification. I needed that! Now I'm going to bed so the calories can multiply while I sleep! :hi:

[Tyler Durden]

3. I barbeque the best baby back ribs in my town...

I'm an unrepentant carnivore, and I play favorites in the animal kingdom.

So there. Nyeah.

[Bucky]

204. with actual babies?

That would be offensive.

[ghostsofgiants]

4. "Classic" rock bores the shit out of me.

[XemaSab]

5. I think Americans (trailed distantly by Brits, Ozzies, Canadians, and Kiwis)

have it right in a lot of ways.

:)

[cobalt1999]

6. I drive an SUV. That should be good for about 40%

I also don't have much respect for the thinking ability of conspiracy buffs. That should hit the remaining 10%.

BTW, you are right about most poetry and wrong on psychology. :)

[ptvet]

7. I just quoted Keanu Reeves in GD!

and liked it! :hi:

[Bucky]

202. whoa

dood

[Initech]

8. I've eaten at Olive Garden AND shopped at Circuit City

[NewJeffCT]

95. but

did you show your receipt on the way out the door?

[Pierre.Suave]

101. after eating at Olive Garden

I was asked for a reciept, but I didnt have one, so I gave them their food back...




































jk, that never really happened.

[begin_within]

11. I thought "The Big Lebowski" was a complete and utter waste of time.

Seriously. If I wanted to hear the F-word every 30 seconds, I could have just gone over to Dick Cheney's house. Two hours of Jeff Bridges doing a Tommy Chong impersonation ruined both his career and that of the Coen brothers.

[Lethe]

29. Well, you know, thats just, like, your opinion man

[jobycom]

130. Shut the fuck up, bob-weaver!

BTW, the OP said half the Lounge, not the entire Lounge! Over-achiever! :P

[sarge43]

222. You're out of your element, weaver. n/t

[Liberal Dose]

300. OMG My former best male friend no longer spoke to me after I told him I thought The Big Lebowski was

NOT FUNNY! It wasn't. Still isn't. eheh
:shrug: :hi:

[Joe Fields]

12. I hate half the lounge, but no one will know which half...

[femmocrat]

13. I never "got" Seinfeld.

I thought it was just boring. Sorry.

[ThomCat]

92. Agreed.

It wasn't good, and it wasn't funny. It wasn't even bad enough to be worth watching.

[Bullwinkle925]

14. I hate the other half of the lounge Joe Fields doesn't hate.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. My dear LostInAnomie...

You don't like my poetry?????

I don't know whether to cry or yell! :nuke: :cry:

Have you even read any of it?

WELL?

[LostInAnomie]

40. That's why I said "almost" all poetry.

;-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

42. OK....I forgive you...

This time...

;-)

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

16. My first vote was for Reagan

Please don't kill/excommunicate/shun me! I was under the sway of an evil political science professor!

[femmocrat]

18. You win. Worst offense ever.

But you have mended your ways, that is what is truly important! :)

[BuddhaGirl]

39. LOL Mine too!

I was apolitical at the age of 18; I only voted for Raygun because my parents did!

[Matariki]

64. So maybe there's hope for my 21 yr old nephew?

Se voted for Bush. Sigh.

[Connonym]

86. me too

shhh!

[jobycom]

131. Damn. Reagan, and the Forty-Niners?

I'm a tolerant man, but yer pushin' it!@@!111

[Critters2]

137. To my deep shame...the only Repug I ever voted for

and then I came to my senses.

[av8rdave]

281. Mine was for Ford...that dates me. I did, however, vote for

Jimmy Carter in the Maryland Democratic Primary that year.

[huskerlaw]

19. I like the Olive Garden.

There, I said it. Sure, it's not "real" Italian food, but anybody who walks into an American chain restaurant and expects "real" Italian is an idiot.

[LostinVA]

54. Maggiano's is pretty damn close

I didn't even realize it was a chain first time I ate there.

[huskerlaw]

I've never heard of it...

must be an East Coast thing? :shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

173. Not that it is close to you, but there is a Maggiano's by South Coast Plaza

[huskerlaw]

190. I actually JUST found that out!

One of my co-workers went to South Coast last weekend and she was like "OMG, there's this great restaurant..."

Oops!

Not very close to me, but then, LA doesn't really have a lot of the national chain restaurants.

[KitchenWitch]

191. Actually, SoCal has a lot fewer of the national chains than the MSP area.

Surprisingly enough.

We have a lot of mom and pop asian and mexican places near us.

[huskerlaw]

192. It is surprising...

not sure why that is, exactly. Perhaps the national chain craze is a midwestern thing?

We have TONS of little restaurants around us (Ventura Blvd is somewhat notorious), but the nearest chain (outside of some fast-food and California-based chains like CPK and Cheesecake), is in Burbank, which is a good 20 minute drive.

[GRLMGC]

197. I think there's one in Woodland Hills nt

[Richard Steele]

99. I love Maggiano's!

That's seriously good food. Their chicken scallopini
is so good, I've skipped dessert to have extra helpings
of it.

Everything I've ever had there has been outstanding.

[skygazer]

20. That's easy

I trained greyhounds at a racetrack for close to ten years. :)

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. I love veal and foie gras and all meat, including whale and horse; porn is okay; I'm Christian

That oughtta get me on everybody's shitlist.

[Maraya1969]

46. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

You're not on my shitlist. I'm just real upset at the thought of it. :cry:

Wait....I think you are kidding because no one eats horse.

[Shakespeare]

47. Never been to France, have you?

Horse meat is most certainly on the menu there. Everyone I know who's tried it raved about it, too.

[Rabrrrrrr]

189. Most of the world eats horse - America is one of the minority of places that doesn't.

And it's tasty.

Oh, yeah!

I had horse sushi last time I was in Japan - yummy!! (and yes, the horse was raw)

[Ellen Forradalom]

50. Nope it's the fact you performed a Steve Reich piece

That really burns my ass.

[jobycom]

133. Oh yeah, well I like Tom Cruise, Rachel Ray, Whitney Houston, and once, ONCE

I almost smiled at a Thomas Kincaid painting!!! (In my defense, it was a really good Kincaid painting. You know, the one where he used light and snow to create a quaint rural village?)

But porn is okay.

[Critters2]

139. That painting. I love that one! nt

[Critters2]

145. Oh, yeah...not only am I Christian, I do it professionally. nt

[La Lioness Priyanka]

183. not mine.

[riderinthestorm]

22. My pets are just that: pets.

No anthropomorphizing. No creating an extended family. And no, I won't bust out my credit cards for emergency surgery. I will admit that the dogs and cats sleep on the bed but draw the line at the ponies.....

On the other hand, I have a LOT of pets - like 50 or more at any given time (most of them horses) so do I get a break?? The average successful surgery rate for a performance horse is so dismal at this stage it's just horrifying (think Barbaro).





:hide: (I do believe that more than 50% of the lounge now hates me....)

[Rabrrrrrr]

26. You just earned my respect!

:applause:

[JVS]

44. Rock!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

88. good job. i love my cat, but will never spend thousands in medical bills

which i would for a child

[Deep13]

146. Neither will we. nt

[Burma Jones]

100. I like you just fine.........

Makes sense to me.

[redqueen]

103. I'm worse... I wouldn't let a pet sleep on my bed. n/t

[jobycom]

Humans are too anthropomorphized.

We create a fantasy that we are different in essence than animals. Makes us behave horribly towards the earth.

[Critters2]

141. Hear! Hear!

Wise words. Thank you.

[stuntcat]

266. right on

you said it, Exactly. We will rape the hell out of our home planet because we think we are somehow apart from nature. And since this is what the religion/god's image stuff comes from we'll also kill each other to win "His" love! lol, but we're better than animals :p

My cats are animals and I know that but I also know they have love for me and they have little souls. I respect animals' souls because none of their species are trashing the physical future like mine, the Humans.

[SarahB]

217. Even worse for me.

I actively mock the pet-obsessed.

[Ellen Forradalom]

24. I gained ten pounds

and still only weigh 115.

[libodem]

34. Oh, I'll start hatin' you right now!

x(

[Withywindle]

220. I weigh 110.

I eat whatever the fuck I want, and I never think about it. I have no idea how many calories are in what I eat because I've never needed to care. No matter how much I eat, though, it never seems to be enough to actually put on any damn weight, which I probably could stand to. Also, I don't have any food allergies or intolerances or any of that. Sometimes I even wonder if that stuff is for real. I never even heard of "lactose intolerance" until I met someone when I was TWENTY-EIGHT who claimed to have it. (I think it's because he was too much of a cheapskate to buy real half-and-half for the office coffee.)


Also, I think babies are fugly and unpleasant-smelling and kind of repulsive on the whole, and I've never felt any desire to hold one or coo over it. I've done that, but only out of social obligation. It wasn't an emotional experience of any kind - it just kind of lay there until I handed it back, which I did as soon as possible.

Also, I smoke. I have no real desire to quit. And if I ever do, it'll probably be about the money.


There, that should do it. :)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

25. I love Rachael Ray.

[Skittles]

27. I eat about 3000 calories a day and am a size 6 - 8

yes INDEED

[libodem]

36. I'll be hatin' on you next!

x(

[Skittles]

41. 50 and not one gray hair yet either

WOOOOOOO!!!! :D

Hey if it makes you feel better I exercise an hour every day and swim across lakes for fun

[Maraya1969]

48. OK I hate you for all three of those.

[Skittles]

61. F*** I REALLY STEPPED INTO IT

ooh, now I know what it feels like to be on the receiving end of wrath :7

[Maraya1969]

75. Dear Skittles

:spank:

[Ellen Forradalom]

113. A fellow swimmer!

I just joined a Masters club and swim three times a week. I'm also learning to surf! There's nothing like the water!

[Arugula Latte]

276. No grays? Not even "downstairs"?

:rofl:

[midlife_mo_Jo]

134. Ugh

I don't want to hate you. Truly, I don't.

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

:banghead:

:blush: :blush: :blush: :blush: :blush:

[bridgit]

28. i ill-formed fact that i am here at all...

[Glorfindel]

30. I detest cats

They kill birds for fun. What could possibly be more loathsome than that? :cry:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

232. I'll second that. They make me sneeze and they ignore people.

Can you tell I'm a dog person?

I'm allergic to them too, but at least they act like they give a damn about their owners.

[Arugula Latte]

278. Whaaa? My cats won't leave me alone. They LOVE me.

Dogs? Feh. Greasy, slobbering, jumping up, stinky, overhyper, barking beasts ... :hide:

[Vanje]

305. Dick Cheney kills birds for fun

AND says, "Go fuck yourself", to US Senator while in the hushed and hallowed halls of congress.

[Amaya]

31. i breastfeed in public places

:hi: :nuke:

[jgraz]

58. Y'know, I tried that once and the woman called the cops

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

172. LOL

I just don't get this "no breast feeding in public" thing. It's the best way to keep the "child" quiet and peaceful.

[Jamastiene]

294. How far did you get before she called the cops?

:rofl: :evilgrin:

[Jamastiene]

292. Hey, you could sell tickets to that...

That's hardly something to make ME hate you. You go, girl. :loveya:

[Vanje]

306. I breastfeed my cat at Olive Garden.

And when Kitty has had enough, I wander over to walmart and breastfeed my circumsised pitbull

[NJCher]

325. that was really good!

I breastfeed my cat at Olive Garden

The visual images were striking!!



Cher

[Kali]

32. doubt if it would make half hate me, but some

Not only do I eat meat, I raise it too.

[Cabcere]

270. Well, as long as you don't

beat it, I think we're OK.

:hide:

:yoiks:

[raptor_rider]

33. I have 3 ATV's, 1 is my daughter's

I also have a SUV and a F-150 SuperCrew. I have 3 kids. 10 year old daughter, 15 month old son and almost 5 month old son. Granted, the two sons are almost 10 months apart. Just could not do the physical abortion with my baby, which I am glad I did not do. He is my shining star. Flame away, I love my kids!

[SeattleGirl]

35. I am a NASCAR fan.

And I have been pretty much all my life. :P

[Joey Liberal]

37. I used to be a republican

[JBoy]

38. I live in Vancouver

Best city in the world to live in. http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/10/04/eui.survey/index.html

[Starbucks Anarchist]

53. Welcome to DU, JBoy!

:toast:

[Danger Mouse]

43. I don't like CIndy Sheehan. That should cover many of em.

I'm a vegetarian, but I see nothing wrong with eating meat, and think of cows as little more than walking hamburgers that say 'moo'.
I hate the following shitty bands: Nickelback, System of a Down, Creed, Aerosmith, Rolling Stones, and many others!
I think Titanic was a horribly overrated movie, along with Gladiator and Forrest Gump.
I'm sure this should get about 50% in there.
Oh, yeah, I talk on my cell phone in public and i hate pit bulls.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

55. How dare you!

How can you hate the Rolling Stones?! :mad:

[Danger Mouse]

67. Yes! add another one to the crowd of EH haters

;)
i like a few of their songs...'Gimme Shelter' 'Paint it Black' 'You Can't Always Get What you Want' 'She Smiled Sweetly'...
awesome songs that showed the potential this band has.
'Satisfaction' and songs like that, though, are very disappointing.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

68. ...

[ghostsofgiants]

239. I was with you until the cell phone.

(And I enjoy some Stones songs.)

[Lethe]

45. i like electronic music

and get annoyed as hell when people refer to it as "techno" (which is only one genre out of hundreds)

also - i don't believe in gun control

[Dukkha]

76. I am an electronic musician

and I own an assault rifle

[Lethe]

170. fuckin'-a

my newest CD is being printed at the duplication plant right now.

[Lethe]

282. hey pretty cool man

i didn't listen to all of it, but what i heard sounded like some Vangelis/JMJarre. Pretty cool stuff man! :thumbsup:

Hey what is your gear list? (synthesizers) Currently I do some emusic just for fun, i'm not that good at it. I'm still learning how to master subtractive synthesis. I don't like using presets, i like to think of a sound in my head, and be able to reproduce it on my synth.

[Aristus]

49. Country music is the worst sort of aural shit ever foisted on the human race.

When God cast Adam and Eve out of The Garden, he made them listen to country music.

[Jamastiene]

82. I second that.

I used to have a dog who would grumble and growl when country music would come on in a movie. I grumbled and growled with him. He had excellent taste. Good dog.

[JVS]

85. I think that the lounge will agree with you

[deepthought42]

249. lmfao!

I am going to have to agree with you on that...I listen to many different genres of music, but I absolutely cannot stand country music. :puke:

[blitzen]

316. County Music haters are mass-media controlled ignoramuses....

They're shallow corporate radio types who are too lazy to seek out authentic art

[SPKrazy]

51. i don't care for pit bulls, i like the olive garden

i shop at wal mart

i don't like hillary or obama

i like gore

i love the movie titanic

i eat meat

i have some good friends who are alas, republicans

i do believe in a truly free market (not a false one like we have)

i think porn is fine for adults who wish to view it

I don't have any aspirations of running the lounge

i think the cliques in the lounge are silly

i think that a lot of the posters here take things too seriously

have i alienated at least 50%

oh and I don't believe 50% of what someone says about someone else here.

and i like a lot of country music

and i didn't think britney looked so fat as much as she looked pathetic in her underwear dancing around lip synching. her body is fine. it's her mind i'm worried about

[Kali]

125. ...

[KitchenWitch]

174. AMEN on the Britney and most of the rest of your post

I wish Britney would get the help she so desperately needs.

[ironflange]

66. I just love what Bush is doing, and I hope he keeps up the good work

Jay Bush, that is. And Duke.



We just found Bush's Beans on our trip south of the border in July, and man are they good. Not available in Canada though, damn it! I wonder if they do mail order, or maybe one of you nice folks is coming up for a visit. . .

[mvd]

69. I like Olive Garden

I like pop music, even some top 40 and pop-country
I don't like hip hop
The holidays are the best part of the year
Big Brother is an entertaining TV show (though not so much this season)

[Kali]

128. well that doesn't make me hate you

might question your taste in music :P but no hate here :rofl:

[mvd]

148. But I could then question your taste in music

:P

Usually no one bashes my taste, but still, I put the music thing down because of what I see here a lot. And seriously, no hate because of the Olive Garden? :-)

[Kali]

159. oh my taste in music runs to the truly bizarre

as for Olive Garden, well I used to take my Grandmother there because it was a good compromise between perfectly edible food and the predictability that older folks often need. Now would I choose to go there if I was visiting New York city or some other place noted for authentic regional food? probably not, but pressed for time and with a coupon in a town I am overly familiar with? sure (not sure if they do coupons, but you get the point)

[mvd]

161. Yes, I'm sure there is better Italian food

South Street in Philly would be a good place for me to visit. But sometimes, I just want a quick meal out. I've noticed the waits for Olive Garden aren't that bad.

[UrbScotty]

70. I think the YANKEES SUCK!!

[SeattleGirl]

72. Amen!

So do I!!!

[soleft]

114. I think the YANKEES RULE!!

143. I think I love you

194. So what are you so afraid of?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

71. I worked for Ralph Nader in 2000 and 2004

there. that always does it.

[Fire Walk With Me]

73. I told someone to eat at the Olive Garden in Times Square.

That may have been a mistake.

[yewberry]

74. I think it's hilarious

when meat-eaters act like martyrs because they eat meat. I mean, come on, they're like 95% of the population. It's like the "War on Christmas!!11!," only more egregious.

I'm sorry.

(But it's still funny.)

253. Gasp!!!

*faints*

[Inchworm]

283. You must understand my reasoning!

Other than an insane belief that one person can change the world, it was an attempt by a drunken hillbilly to thwart the enemy at every opportunity.

I just did it to try to mess up their primaries and polling. I realized after many years that I made no difference.

You still wub me?!?!

83. I've had thoughts of being purposely mean to women...

Women always say they want someone who'll treat them right, but then go with people who treat them like dirt. Nice guys and girls really don't stand a chance. I've had thoughts of being purposely mean and cruel to a woman I like just to see if the outcome would be different. I've never done that though. I just can't seem to make myself be mean to women, but I have noticed that women like the ones who treat them cruelly.

[Phillycat]

129. Oh, I really hope this is satire.

If so, well done! Sounds just like them!

If not...

[Jamastiene]

245. Satire, no.

I have really thought about purposely doing just that, because the women I like see me as dirt under their feet, usually. It's a proportional thing. The more I like a woman and the nicer I am to her, the more she hates me. So, yeah, just to catch a break, I have honestly thought about trying just that to see if I could actually please a woman I like better. I shit you not. }(

[DarkTirade]

84. I shop at Wal-Mart. Fairly regularly.

Of course, that's only because I work the night shift and the only time I'm usually free to go shopping is at 4 am. :)

[Downtown Hound]

209. No self-respecting liberal should hate you for working at Mall Wart

Only offer you deepest condolences.

[DarkTirade]

226. I don't work there, I work the night shift at another job.

I'm just only free to go shopping at 4 in the morning, and Wal-Mart's the only thing open then.
Occasionally when I HAVE to get something that I can't get at Wal-Mart I'll stay up 'late' and wait for the regular stores to open.

[dropkickpa]

87. Easy as pie

I work in biomedical research. I'm a vet tech. Guess what I work with? That right ladies and gentleman, I work on lab animals!

I love to eat meat.

I dislike Hillary Clinton (shit, Big Dawg ain't my fav either), Cindy Sheehan, and John Edwards.

I smoked when I was pregnant.

I breastfed, in public, at restaurants, in the mall, on the bus. Kid hungry? I popped a tit in her mouth.

I own a pit bull.

I get really annoyed with whiny people (I have a 6 year old girl, that's enough whining to have to deal with).

Oh yeah, I like porn, especially kinky BDSM stuff!

That should do it.

[sniffa]

89. i'm me

go!

[lost-in-nj]

90. I eat meat

I wear leather
I think pit bulls are dangerous
not a huge fan of either Clinton
would eat at Olive Garden if the opportunity arose
I ate corn flake covered french toast

can't think of anymore....


lost

[SPKrazy]

196. but would you eat corn flake covered french toast

wearing leather at the olive garden while burning pictures of both clintons in effigy and talking loudly on your cell phone about the dangers of pit bulls :P ?

[Phentex]

91. I like Martha Stewart.

so there!

[benEzra]

93. I like poetry and I own an "AK-47"...

I think poetry in almost all its forms sucks ass, and is written by people that think they are a lot deeper than they really are.

Hey, I like poetry!

For fellow lit geeks, my screen name is from a Robert Browning poem that Isaac Asimov quoted in Pebble in the Sky about Abraham ben Meir ibn Ezra (1092-1167).

Post something about yourself that will make half the lounge hate you.

I like poetry? :)

Also, I own an "AK-47", and I'm keeping it.



No, that's not a real NFA Title 2/Class III restricted AK-47; it's a non-automatic, civilian-only derivative (2002 model SAR-1). The optic is a Russian Kobra.

[Dr. Strange]

98. I find that hard to believe...

Quick, write a poem about your AK-47.

[benEzra]

140. Here you go...

Розы красны,
лилов голубы.
Я люблю поэзия.
Я имею AK.
Я пишу придурковатое стихотворение.

:D

[Dr. Strange]

166. wow

то красивейше.
вы сделали мной выкрик.

[benEzra]

177. :)

Л О Л :rofl:

[MissMillie]

94. Half? how about 98%?

my cats are all declawed.

[redqueen]

104. Oooooooooooooooooh

[Cabcere]

268. So are mine...

:shrug:

If it will make The Lounge feel better and/or hate me less, we didn't start getting our cats declawed until one of them slashed open my face. (Well, that might be a bit of an exaggeration...he did tear up my lip pretty good, though.) :(

[bullwinkle428]

303. My gf's cats are declawed, and I give her

crap for it constantly...I lay a guilt trip on her each time I see one of them stretching and dragging their paws downward on a vertical surface!

"Look at that - 'Mommy, why did you cut my claws off???'"

[zanne]

96. I went shopping at Wal-Mart today.

For socks.

[NewJeffCT]

97. I've been on DU almost 4 years now

yet, I still confuse a lot of the regulars and old-timers here.

[Burma Jones]

102. I work for a Defense Contractor

and even I have a problem with that.......

[NewJeffCT]

188. I worked for one of the big health insurance companies in the 90s

all through the 90s.

[LynneSin]

105. I was asked to show my receipt at Macy's and I gladly whipped the thing out

:D

[redqueen]

108. hahahaha

Macy's does that now? The one here didn't recently when I got a $48 top for $6. And I found great jeans. I love that store now.

[LynneSin]

110. I was actually picking up items that some guy carted down from 2nd floor homewares

thing is - I came down with the guy with the cart so he knew the items were mine. But the manager at the pick-up counter still wanted to see my receipt

[redqueen]

111. The nerve.

I would so sue them.

[LynneSin]

117. I was going to call the police

I should have

:hide:

[redqueen]

106. Hmmm...

I'm pro-porn.
I'm pro-prostitution.
I don't want to ban guns.
I don't like cats. Okay I do when I'm around them and they're nice... but that's it!
I think the Olive Garden is fine. Haven't eaten there in over a decade... but I don't remember hating it.


I think there's probably more...

[regularguy]

107. If I was a women,

I would only go out with jerks! B-)

[edbermac]

109. I don't get cramps.

It's nice to be a guy sometimes. :)

[redqueen]

112. hahahaha

nice one!

[Ellen Forradalom]

126. I can't be kicked in the nuts

It's nice to be a gal sometimes :-P

[edbermac]

154. That's why I wear my cup at all times.

One never knows when lightning will strike. :evilgrin:

[Ellen Forradalom]

115. Oh, I forgot to mention: 44 years old

and not a line on my face. Lookin' as youthful as ever!

[Manifestor_of_Light]

233. 52 and not a line on my face either!!!

It's great having a round face and no wrinkles!

[philosophie_en_rose]

116. Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. ..

He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

[lizziegrace]

118. Ding Ding Ding

We have a winner!!! 100%

[johnnie]

120. Oh shit.. everybody loves me

And the ones who hate me have me on ignore and can't read this, so fuck 'em.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

121. i think cindy sheehan will make a terrible politician

[liontamer]

122. I like beauty pageants

I think the contestants are using it as a valid stepping stone to personal success. I think most beauty queens are well adjusted individuals who will ultimately do well in their chosen paths.

[liontamer]

123. oh and cornflaked chicken is delicious! And I've eaten at the time square olive garden.

it was great!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

135. really?

[LydiaJ]

124. I hate cell phones and the people who use them

:P

Oops, this could be bad... :hide:

Honestly though, it's more that I'm jealous as I can't get a signal up here in the boonies. The last time my daughter visited from college, she and her bf ran all over the yard and even climbed out on the roof trying to get a signal for their phones.

So I don't really "hate" you guys.... :hi:

[Lyric]

127. I'm voting for Hillary Clinton

I'm all about getting a girl into the game. Flame away. :)

[guitar man]

132. I ride a Harley

with aftermarket exhaust, drive a full sized pickup truck, eat lots of red meat and own several firearms.

that ought to be enough to piss more than a few people off...:evilgrin:

:hide:

[Pool Hall Ace]

136. I'm childfree

And while I don't hate parents and children, I refuse to worship them, and I will take them to task (like when the kiddos are riding their bikes across my lawn, or slamming into my garage door).

Oh, and I like to use the self-service checkouts at the grocery store.

[midlife_mo_Jo]

138. I have seven kids

Imagine our carbon footprint! :evilgrin:

[skygazer]

142. Oh, and I think the Harry Potter books are literary garbage

:P

[Critters2]

144. I would eat at Olive Garden if I lived near one,

and I still think Britney is too fat to be dancing in public dressed like that.

[Guava Jelly]

147. I like the band Oasis

:D

[LSdemocrat]

149. My favorite sub-genre of music is 1980's pop

[LaraMN]

151. I am extremely adept at picking up items from the floor using my feet.

You wish you were me. But you're not. Sorry.

:P

[La Lioness Priyanka]

152. me too!

[Radio_Lady]

153. My three STEPchildren are not TOXIC, but they are major pains in the butt.

However, my bonus (instead of step) grandson, age 18, is a loving, helpful and industrious child. He's visiting us from Boston this week, and is visiting two Oregon colleges. He wants to get away from his parents for a while (what 18-year-old doesn't?) and he just might do a year of school out west.

This is his father's -- my stepson's -- birthday (Sept. 11) and I hope he celebrates it in peace. We ended up sending him a birthday card and a money gift.

[Bunny]

155. I do not care what car you drive, or if you shop at Walmart.

I think the Olive Garden is perfectly adequate food for the price.

Any kind of fried chicken breading is fine with me, I don't eat the skin so I don't really care.

Breastfeed anywhere you like, unless you are a guy in which case you are a deranged freak and you really should be hated by half the Lounge.

I think you should be allowed to smoke in bars, but not in other public buildings. I think people who gripe about those who are smoking outdoors need to get a life.

I am not impressed by poetry, at all.

And, I think evolutionary psychology is interesting. I don't buy all of it, but it's got its good points.

So, hate me if you like. But that's just how I roll.

[NewWaveChick1981]

156. I have a special ability that only the top 0.5% of women have.

:evilgrin: :P :rofl: That's according to two major studies I've read.

[Lethe]

280. inquiring minds want to know

:)

[NewWaveChick1981]

290. I'm sure they do.

:evilgrin: :P :)

[MrCoffee]

157. I can't stand dogs.

[gmoney]

158. I take pictures of nude women...

...although I had work at a show Friday night and a number of people made a point of commenting that they liked my work because it was erotic and sensual without being vulgar.

And the women (and men) I work with seem very pleased with the results as well...

...but I'm sure that it will still earn me a certain amount of disdain at least.

[midlife_mo_Jo]

169. How cute!

Mind if I ask where you got your little camera smilie? It's so cute!

[gmoney]

205. Not sure where I found him...

Somewhere along the twisting paths of the internets... but thanks. :)

Say Cheezburger!

[midlife_mo_Jo]

215. haha

Now, if you're a photographer, you know you never tell someone to say "cheese(burger)!"

[Jamastiene]

295. Well...

only jealousy coming from me. I'd give anything to be able to be in a room with nekked women without having to pay for it or take my own damn clothes off, which is no fun, really. Disdain, no way. The human body is beautiful, especially a woman's body. :thumbsup:

[zabet]

160. I like guns..

5 handguns, 2 rifles, and 2 shotuns.
Drive a big 4x4 (we own a farm).
I hate the chicken alfredo stench of Olive Garden.
:hi:

[MrScorpio]

162. I'm not the biggest fan of cats and their claws

(Kitty Scorpio notwithstanding)

I'm more of a dog person

[lojasmo]

163. I want neither Clinton nor Clark as the nominee.

I hate old movies, and old music.

Do you think I overshot?

[HERVEPA]

164. I think the idea of the existence of god is ludicrous

Just pure superstition. Double that for Jesus was the son of god.

[Throd]

165. My car gets 8 mpg!

[Kali]

167. ...

:spray:

that beats me, mine get about 12 - but then I have THREE of 'em like that

[MissMillie]

178. yeah, but you never drive it!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

168. I heard a few Maddy McCann jokes recently.

I lol'd.

[KitchenWitch]

171. On Sunday, my husband and I went to Olive Garden to celebrate our anniversary.

:P

[driver8]

176. I thought the movie "Titanic" was one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

It absolutely sucked!

[Gormy Cuss]

179. I'm gonna protest LostinVA's wedding.

I 'm not gonna let LiV and Haruka ruin my marriage without a fight.

:silly:

[Maine-ah]

187. I own an SUV, I like NASCAR and I can't stand HRC.

ok, so I'm lying about the NASCAR, but I don't hate it :hide:

[eyepaddle]

193. Sure why not, jazz is boring and utterly pompous--ditto for indie rock

:hide:

[siouxsiecreamcheese]

195. I agree whole-heartedly

Very rarely do I ever read a poem that conjures up real emotion, and I'm a very sensitive person. I think most of it is pretentious bullshit written by "wanna-be more than what they really are" type people.

[blue cat]

198. My dating life sucks.

Men are full of shit.

[redqueen]

208. That's one very tempting bandwagon, there!

WAY too many sexist pigs around... and the women that back them up are even worse.

[datasuspect]

199. i think the "jerk squad" are really a bunch of closet freepers

[buddhamama]

200. i am still here

rarely though. :)

[YankeyMCC]

201. "I don't know half of you half as well as I should like

, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."

[Bucky]

203. I masturbate just to watch the kittens die.

I'm just kidding. I never masturbate. Of course. No, really.

[yardwork]

206. I didn't have either of my sons circumcised.

This will probably get me thrown out of the Lounge.

[LeftyMom]

207. That's because you're a good parent and you love your sons.

See, I'm really good at this. :D

[yardwork]

213. Ooooooh now you're really done it!

We're in big trouble. :popcorn:

[TimeChaser]

212. I used to be a big Creed fan

:yoiks:

[BreweryYardRat]

214. I really, really don't like major mentally deficient people.

I'd be in favor of doing mandatory in-utero testing + abortions for things like Downs Syndrome, so long as it was understood that it could not set a precedent for testing + abortions for any other reason.

I can feel some degree of sympathy for autistic people - that's undetectable until after birth, as best I know, and it tends to vary. Some of them are fine people, some of them (like that guy in Texas who killed his baby sister) are horrible, a lot of them are in between. I knew a guy in high school who I think was mildly autistic, and he was a great dude. Eager to learn, just not too bright.

Asperger's is no problem -- that's mental illness, not deficiency.

I'm so violently against it because I have kind of a creeping horror of how genetics could have hosed me.

And given what assholes children are to anyone who's different, it might be more merciful than putting a mentally deficient kid through 12 years of public school hell.

[bluedigger]

218. I'm pro draft.

With mandatory national service for all the CO's and overflow the military cannot place. Not enough snot nosed rich white kids putting their asses on the line. Males and females 18-20. I think it would 1) discourage wars of aggression and 2) provide a common experience which would make us a stronger and more united nation (in a generation or so). Penalties for non-participation could include loss of voting rights and permanent barring from holding elected office or obtaining federal employment.

(And I'm an SUV driving veteran.)

[Initech]

219. I bought a new car... but it wasn't a hybrid.

:wow:

[Deja Q]

221. Well, I'm speechless...

I could say anything...

:rofl:

[JVS]

223. .

how can you say that?
there are forms which are so fun

[UncleSepp]

224. I once shared a bag of potato chips with a Republican state representative

If I say which one, I'm sure the *entire* lounge would hate me then.

[mentalsolstice]

225. I eat Chef Boyardee Raviolee out of the can!

and my dogs sleep in my bed.

edit: I thought of other things hateful.

[SarahB]

227. Most of ya'll need to get yourselves off the computer and laid more. nt

[ghostsofgiants]

244. Well that's just a given.

[sarge43]

247. What's your point? n/t

[Amaya]

255. it means get off the computer and get laid

:evilgrin: :nuke:

228. Freud really understood women.

We are indebted to him.

[otherlander]

229. I killed my hermit crabs

by forgetting to give them enough water before I went on vacation.

[crim son]

230. Let's see.

I'm aging very well - if I go out I will get hit on. Period. I can write, and I can draw (I can't paint though), I can play the piano, I can crochet, knit, embroider and sew anything. I'm a very good cook. I'm 5'8" and slender. I live two doors down from Stephen King. And I'm dating the most incredible man in the world. You only wish you got love letters (&etc. :P ) like I get from him.

Take THAT, ya fucking repukes! :rofl:

[otherlander]

231. I'm against the draft

But on principle, I think that any draft should include both genders.

In which case I would be drafted, refuse to fight, and go to jail.

And in case there's anyone still agreeing with me...

GOING TO CANADA IS FOR WIMPS!

:hide:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

235. I have naturally curly hair, but not too frizzy.

I wash it every night in the shower, and if I don't comb it thru, it dries in ringlets.

I can roll it up on hot rollers and it looks great.

It's really thick. So much so that I can't let it get past shoulder length, it gets too heavy and hard to wash.

Ironic note:My mom gave me gawdawful stinky perms when I was little cuz she wanted me to look like Shirley Temple. I finally got a good hair cut at a good salon when I was 19 and found out I had naturally wavy hair anyway. She could have gotten a clue had she noticed that both she and Dad had wavy hair --duh!!


Ironic note #2: I once had a girlfriend with straight long baby fine hair. Then i got a nice boyfriend. She quit calling me and refused to answer the phone, after I got a nice boyfriend. I guess curly thick hair and a nice boyfriend were too much for her to handle.

[riverdale]

236. I think I can win

I voted for Nader!

I am an atheist!

I am a military veteran!

I think porn and hookers are just fine!

I think almost all drugs should be legal, but I don't use them and never have!

I think the death penalty is a good idea, because some people just need killing!

I will ask you to please smoke elsewhere if you ask if it is ok to smoke here!

I think making jokes about dead celebrities immediately after they have died is funny!

I think socialism is far better than capitalism!

I shop at Wal Mart because it is cheap there!

My favorite kinds of music are gangster rap and the heaviest metal out there!

I do not like the Beatles!

I do not like chocolate!

I have been banned from every message board I have ever signed up for!

And most of all...
I don't even care that you don't like me!

[MnFats]

237. I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die...

now when i hear that lonesome whistle, I hang my head and cry...

[taterguy]

246. Who hasn't done that?

[krispos42]

238. I hate women and their womenly attitudes

There, that should do it! :rofl:


:hide:

[ghostsofgiants]

242. Another: I think Bill Clinton is a douchebag.

And I use the word "douchebag" quite frequently.

[deepthought42]

250. Just one thing?

Let's see....

I like Applebee's, Olive Garden, Starbucks, and Chic-Fil-A.

I think decaf is eeeeeeeeviiiiiiil.

I've never understood religion, and I never will.

Music I used to be really into and now occasionally listen to: Celine Dion, Enya, Savage Garden, Creed, and Toni Braxton (take that Elrond! :P) ;)

[Danger Mouse]

285. How did you know that I would read your poor choices in music?

And viciously criticize you for them?
Screed? UGH! 'This Life' is okay, though. At least you don't listen to Nickelback, but ENYA? What are you, a girl or something?
Sigh, what am I going to do with you, child?

[deepthought42]

307. I am a girl, damnit!

BRING IT ON!!!! :evilgrin:

I feel so sorry for Kage...the poor girl! ;)

[Danger Mouse]

314. nope. you're just a sub loser.

317. Hmmm, I guess that makes me more of a loser

since I suck so much at being a loser. So...I win! :P lol

[Danger Mouse]

318. you are clever and your tricks confuse me.

confound it all!

[deepthought42]

319. I am Deep Thought

There is only one computer greater than me, and I created it! Besides, you just make up part of its 10million year program. So... :P

[Danger Mouse]

320. the thought of only being a part of YOUR program...

322. Oh well fine!

I see I'm not enough... *sniffle* Has it really been so horrible for you??? I slaved over that program for days! :P


HMPH.

[nadine_mn]

251. I think pets should be saved first in floods/fires etc over adults

Yup I do, my husband already knows that if the house caught of fire, he better save himself because I am going in for the furry kids.

My belief is that pets have a lot less choice and control over their surroundings then the people who own them, so they should be treated better

hang on - let me grab a beer for the flames to begin
:beer: :nuke:

[stuntcat]

267. ..

sweet lil' souls, right on! :hug:

[Dr. Strange]

252. I had sex with half the lounge.

The question is...which half hates me?

[Q3JR4]

254. I think that religion has caused most of our world's

ills. I mean, sure, some of the wars that have been fought and some of the horrible shit that has been done in the name of religion may still have happened without the existence of religion (as a rule people suck), but that doesn't included the crusades or 911 (the terrorists were religious too).

Religion sucks, and people suck. Perhaps if one wasn't the case the other wouldn't be either, but it is a fact about today's society. That's what I think, and I don't really care what you think.

[BarenakedLady]

256. I know you said you don't care...

But I agree.

[billyskank]

259. I'm religious

:cry:

[BarenakedLady]

262. Yes, but

I'm not sure many Hare Krishna have started wars or persecuted people.

:shrug:

I could be wrong however.

[billyskank]

288. So you will separate us into "good religious people" and "bad religious people"?

Why not just good people and bad people?

If I'm a good person, I am not a good person because I believe in God. Neither am I a good person despite it. I am only a good person if my own personal qualities make me so. This idea that religion is evil is just as lazy as the idea that faith is of itself a virtue. I will have no truck with it. People fight because they have that tendency: they will differentiate between "themselves" and the "other." If they can define the "other" by means of religion then they will, but if religion isn't handy then they'll find some other reason to do it.

It's crap like this that makes me wonder why I stay here. On the same page I'll read about how religion is evil, and the poster cares not how many religious people they offend. Some of my favourite people from here are very religious. RevCheesehead? AirmensMom? Oh, they never post here any more... I wonder why? And on another page I will read somebody say how they hate a person they've never met because they're a Republican. Really. So much for open minds. So much for tolerance.

[BarenakedLady]

296. No

I did not mention individual people at all. I only referred to religion as an institution. My mother is a very spiritual person who is heavily involved in her church. I love her dearly though I may disagree with her beliefs. I never paint with that broad a brush. But I don't understand the offense because I agree that religion is the basis for most wars in history. Is this not a true statement? If not, please show me the error in my thinking.

I hate no one, btw. Like I said in my pm to you, I fully concede to religious ignorance. If this is enough for you to throw me into the perceived pile of closed minded intolerant people, well then...what can I say? Either have a rational discussion with me on the matter or don't.

I love you either way.

260. Only half. I may be able to do better than that.

1. I like Charlton Heston, always have (I don't own guns or belong to the NRA)

2. I shop at Wally World

3. I'm an omnivore

4. I think rock started to suck on a quantum level o/a mid 70's and hasn't improved since.

5. Cats? Can take or leave 'em.

[Sequoia]

261. I don't like the Pope.

He looks spooky. But I'm not Roman Catholic so according to Mel Gibson I'm going to hell.

[Cabcere]

269. I have an account over in Freeperland.

:rofl: :puke: I know, I know, I feel dirty even thinking about it! I signed up just so I could see what kinds of craziness were going on over there, and maybe talk some sense into them...ha ha ha. I only posted a few times and I haven't been back there in a long time because it makes me sick. :shrug: But yeah, I am guilty of actually having an account.

[stuntcat]

271. I'm down with the Death Penalty

NOT when mistakes are made, okay!!! And I think we need to work harder at police work and prosecution so we can be sure.

I have no holy god-like beliefs about Humans' souls. When someone is actually & without a doubt a violent criminal then I think the world can do just fine without another idiotic destructive humanoid breathing MY air :hi: and their ends can be smooth and painless I think!

[ruiner4u]

272. I miss my SUV

'94 Blazer. It was an awesome vehicle.

I had plenty of room to haul stuff, and it was very roomy inside.. I cant wait to see the new tahoe or blazer next year...

I cant wait to get a new one in a few months...

[Zomby Woof]

274. These may rate more than 50%

Pot is okay, but vastly overrated.

I own a Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia (incorrectly called a 'Confederate Flag'), since I have both southern heritage and am a student of history.

I own stocks (I like to be in charge of my investments, rather than paying someone else to do it, or paying through my employer).

99% of hipper-than-thou indie rock/alternative whatchacallit is unmitigated, sloppy, pretentious, whiny punk-ass bullshit, made by and for socially retarded (and 50%+ will hate me for using that word) asswipes, and is easily as bad and subject to well-deserved satirical derision as the corporate rock for which it is supposedly anathema.

I am all in favor of poetry, but leave it to the professionals. Most DUers should not try it at home.

[qdemn7]

275. Well let's see...

I agree with you 100% on poets and poetry. Most poets suck ass, and need a (short) haircut, shave and a shower.

I don't think there is anything wrong with Olive Garden. (WTF is with all this anti-Olive Garden stuff anyway??? :wtf:)

I like guns.

I eat meat and wear leather.

EDIT: Oh yeah, FUCK the 49ers, and FUCK all 49ers fans. Especially FUCK all the ones living in Texas. Did I say FUCK THE 49ers???? :mad: :puke: :nuke:

[TreasonousBastard]

277. I have a 14 inch penis, and....

I drive my Hummer to my job at Circuit City.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

287. THanks for the warning! I'll run away as fast as possible if I ever meet you!!!

Seriously. You could damage somebody.

[Arugula Latte]

279. I think CaliforniaPeggy should be banned from DU

My dear this and my dear that ... Who needs it?










:rofl:

[Nevernose]

284. I'm an English teacher who thinks most poetry sucks ass. Poetry'd be better if still rhymed.

Most modern poetry is written by pretentious fucks and "sucks ass." Poetry'd be better if it still rhymed. At least then it would combine the challenge of coming up with new ways to say the same old shit with Sudoku.

Have you tried writing a decent sonnet lately? Difficult. ABAB, CDCD, EFEF. GG. Now stick that sonofabitch in iambic pentameter. The opposite of free/blank verse.

Have you tried writing in free/blank verse lately? I'm sure your ninth-grade English teacher appreciated it, but I've got a chihuahua that could have written that poem by pissing on random labeled tiles. It was great when Ginsberg did it, because he was the first, but everyone else is just a wannabe.

Oh, and your ninth-grade English teacher was lying to you.

[Beausoir]

286. I used to think Dick Cheney was sexy! I win.

[rhiannon55]

299. OMG! Ewwwwwww....

You DO win. Dick Cheney was NEVER sexy, even in his nefarious youth.

[SKKY]

289. I once had a bumpersticker on my car that read.

"Visualize getting off your hippie ass and getting a job." I still think it's funny.

[Neoma]

293. I hate people who are educated properly.

There seems to be a standardization on what people should know, and I'd rather meet people with different grasp on life. The public school system seems to reinforce this while at the same time, dumbing down our civilization through forcing kids to do so many things they don't want to do that they hate the prospect of learning something new.

[timtom]

297. Football and TV

I personally blame the idolatry of football and TV as the cause of the evils of this nation.

[Bennyboy]

298. I like the Phlat Buns ad!

Really. well crafted. I like Phlat Buns!

[Amaya]

301. I don't think pets are people too

The death penalty is good for some
Britney is not fat
Hillary Clinton is a pretentious ass
Size does matter
The Olive Garden's soup, salad, and breadsticks combo is pretty good
Watching sports on tv is boring as fuck

that's all I can think of for now :)

[Snarkturian Clone]

302. I think I have one that will make two halves of the lounge hate me.

I'm pro-choice but I think that abortion is murder. Necessary Evils such as this exist.

Lots of people think that I'm not allowed to be a dem if I think that.

[Vanje]

304. I have, not one, but TWO un-neutered dogs

Bitches. Not spayed.

[Mutley]

309. I have Republican friends.

Hell, one of my roommates is a serious Republican and we get along fine. Provided, of course, that we don't talk politics.

[txwhitedove]

310. I live in Texas....

and love it, and love the Olive Garden.

[Phrogman]

321. I like smelling the white shit that I dig out from under my toenails

it stinks so bad.

[enigmatic]

324. I'm Childfree and a Curling Fanatic

Oh, and I think Led Zepplin has to be one of the 3 most overrated bands of all-time!:D

[NJCher]

326. I'll get 100% on this

I have the Parking Lot Good Fairy watching out for me. Wherever I go (in NJ, the most densely overpopulated state in the union), a parking spot opens up for me, right in front. Never fails.

Don't hate me 'cuz I'm lucky!!
