He also wanted to be called "Mr. Chips" whenever I...

He's an incredibly overrated drummer, but still, less people dead is always a good thing.

Anyone want to upload these? I feel like such a slimeball signing up for forums just to d/l shit. I'm sure Anton could sympathise with all of the noobs we get around here, just spamming for NF$.

Wow. Worst story ever.

Hahaha, but in MvC2 aren't there like...two Wolverines for some retardo reason? One of them is super amazing though.

Well yours got locked, which is pretty much a thread's ultimate honor, so I concede that it may in fact have been the genuine amaze.

I've had a fair amount of jobs, but the worst was likely the first: working the deli counter at a local grocery store. I lasted two shifts due to the mindnumbing boredom. On call centres: I worked for my university's "research department" and what I did was cold-call households and get them to take surveys about random things people payed us to find out about (anything from their views on gambling in society to their stance on gated communities.) The point is this: If you call anyone who is not expecting you and ask for time, money, or both, the vast vast majority is going to hate you. I realized this and actually really enjoyed that job. You need to let the assholes roll off of your back, and then take solace in the fact that once you finish 2 or 3 surveys, it's usually time for a break, then you do a few more and are done for the day, having made a cool 60 bucks in 4 hours. On the weekends it was amplified, and a lot of people wouldn't be home, so you'd just be hanging out dialing answering machines.

Well my thread was the original idea (shoes, if you will) and yours the brilliant expansion (the introduction of the lace, perhaps.) What are shoeslaces without shoes? Just string!

Hahaha, I had an interesting one. I was on a bus that served full meals, and had just finished my soup, but I had reached my stop. It was The Keg (kind of dumb to eat before going to The Keg, but whatever.) Anyway, I needed to walk through a school to get there, and for some reason I was walking extra shadily. A parent gives me a dirty look as I walk by, and I overhear her saying "...so if anyone wants to just walk in and snatch a kid, they just do so?" Offended, I step outside into a HUGE expansive valley with rolling slops and mountains, etc. There are 3 groups of kids, each consisting of 2 single-file lines and seperated by a bit of a mountain. I run out and yell "Alright guys! Listen up! Everyone who wants to play a game, line up by me!" and all of the kids start running towards me. The mother is mortifed that I can can her precious children to listen to a total stranger so easily, and as the kids come closer I realize that they are the kids I taught and played with this Summer (in waking life.) I have a couple heartfelt moments with them (ask about their soccer team, how far they made it, etc) and wake up in a fantastic mood ;)

Bahahaha, fair enough. Well played. But this is getting into some pretty metaphysical shit. What was the greater invention, shoes or shoelaces?

Yeah, Rogue is friggin` broken. I also REALLY dig Omega Red for some reason.

I dunno. I don't think it's "wicked" to not be unattracted to unattractive people ;) Like...damn. What's the obesity rate nowadays? 60% or some such nonsense? Edit: A lot of people look at this thread and think "wow, how shallow. He's only examining people's physical appearance, and not their personality." BULLSHIT. People's appearance reflects their personality to a strong degree. If I see an incredibly fat girl, it says to me that she lacks a certain degree of both self restraint and self respect. Just like if you see someone with a t-shirt eight sizes too big and jeans at his ankles you can ascertain that he likely has a shitty taste in music and can't spell.

The only issue is that half of the posts in your thread are by me ;)

I HATE Mario Kart Wii. I worked at a camp for 6 weeks this summer and we had a "Wii Room" with just that game. Teaching thirty grade 2s how to play Mario Kart is literally hell on Earth. Charles, me and you in a Marvel vs. Capcom 2 throwdown. I'd destroy you. ...probably. It's been awhile.

...hold on. Doesn't BBW mean "Big Black Woman?" Or am I missing something here? I'm glad you enjoyed the graph Ryan. Also, we're not determining people's "worth." That's a littttttle harsh. Edit: Thanks Tracy. That makes a lot more sense. Edit in response to your edit: Lies! You weird BBW porn-fiend.

I still stand by my statement of negative attention being possible with really ugly girls. I think we're just disagreeing on semantics. I mean a "below 1" or "zero" on your scale of things. I think the red line is what I'm trying to illustrate, the green line is how you feel (because at 1, you are recieving positive attention, rather than none), and the black line is how I would categorize it on a more traditional (1-3 is all baaad) 10 point scale. I apologize for the crappyness of my graph. I suck at MSPaint. Edit: A more concise way of putting it is this: How do you know if a girl is a 0? You need to look at her and then make a cognitive assessment. This is attention. When you choose to turn away in revulsion, you have defined that attention as negative. You can choose to call it 0, or no attention at all, but that is what I would use for someone I did not see at all. So what we come to is this: 1-10 Positive attention. You see someone and they catch your eye for some reason. 0: You see no one. "Dude! did you see that girl? She was an 8 at least!." "No, I missed her. I can't comment on her hotness, as she recieved no attention whatsoever." Below 0: Negative attention. People that, if given the choice, you would rather never have seen.

...holy shit. So thorough. My hat is off to you. I also like how you collapsed the "1-3" area of the traditional scale into 0 (as in, not even worth being looked at) and then expanded the relevant area.

Heh, I thought I was the only one like this. I've been the exact same way except that I've been watching this video:

I had a similar debate a while ago about the standard "1-10" scale of hotness, and how it's really only 6 or 7 points, because you can't give out a 10 in good conscience, and around 1-3 it's all the same (DO NOT WANT). Edit: The best part was when we were trying to figure out all of the external variables on the scale. For example, every alcoholic beverage you consume increases the score of a girl by .25 points. Edit again: Unless it's tequilla.

But if bad is 0 or less, then attention that is bad enough could score a value like -3, -4, etc and thus qualify as attention because it isn't zero at that point. It's like if someone owes you 100 bucks. As far as you're concerned, they are -100, and not at 0. The attention a fat chick gets is like her uglyness borrowing 50 bucks from your eyes. Except that she never pays you back. That bitch.

They do, it's just the worst kind of attention ;)

Tracy: It's totally rad that you do. I just hate when girls are obviously dishonest about it. It's up there with girls who list "video games" under their interests, but then have literally never played anything except guitar hero. Charles: Hahaha, indeed.

Yeah but then you're invariably disappointed when you're all "let's play football!" because you think she likes it and she runs the "I don't really feel like it" line. Then you know you've been living a lie.

This isn't to say that bigger girls aren't allowed to do phyiscal activities or that doing physical activities automatically makes you fit, I just feel like a lot of the time it is mentioned in a less-than-wholly-honest way.
