Anyone else's allergies fucking their shit up? Over the weekend it seems like shit has got real. I wake up and can hardly breathe. Eyes itching and watering. Throat so dry I cough until I feel like Im going to puke. Two claritins and 120 mg of sudafed isn't even lasting all day anymore. Fuuuuuuuuuck.
My shit is still fucked up from a trip to Atlanta a week ago. Right now its all the pollen and bullshit with no ability to ride my bike cause the assholes can't get one simple part in. I feel as though I'm entitled to a ride if I'm going to have to suffer through this congestion.
This times 100 million. I unfortunately have a group of friends who "love game of thrones" but are "only halfway through the first book" after starting it two years ago. It boggles my mind, the story to "your favorite TV show" is right in front if you, but apparently you're only capable of reading Buzzfeed's latest top 27 list.
Attention all fans of the show: you must now stop watching and read all books before continuing. That way, you will ruin every surprise it has in store for you. Lazy bastards.
Not this at all Crown, I fear you didn't understand correctly. You don't have to read the books before watching the show. Just don't ask questions when watching the show with those of us who have read the books. Better?
Look at this man. Smell him. You can from wherever you sit. If you need help, stick your nose into an old gym sock and smear cheese on your upper lip. Look at that morlock again. That man has groupies. Hot ones, not just after his money, though it helps (he made $15 million last year), but they desire his mind. There is no doubt his dick looks like a toadstool covered in liver spots. It's not often when you can say Danny DeVito in full Penguin makeup is more appealing. Martin looks like the type of gentleman that has perpetual brown-outs in his drawers.
Just randomly, and maybe take this discussion in another direction other than nerdfighting, when we lived in LA, a friend of a friend hooked us up with a tax dude that only took new clients on referrals. This tax dude looked like the above guy, only less well kept up. Add a week+ grey stubble, fingerprints all over his glasses, and at least one meals' worth of crumbs dusting the top of his potbelly. And he was happier than a pig in shit, rainmanning federal and state tax codes to his heart's delight. Other clients included a well known baseball player and C level moviestars. the moral of the story, maybe only one that Ballsack needs to hear: do what you love, and it doesn't matter if you're a barely functional autistic, success will follow.
Screw you CJ. I mean, sure I wouldn't want to cuddle up to this dude, but books and covers man. You walk around judging everybody that doesn't look like you? I'm not saying he is or is not a nerd, I don't even give a rip about Game of Thrones or the people that love it. You just came across as a judgmental twit.
Okay. I'm not sure this has been talked about on this board before, and I hope it does not become a shit show. This can/ probably should be moved to its own thread. I just had a friend tell me he was gay. He doesn't have the typical* signs other than being non-aggressive towards, yet very social with women. I.e. Just never asked them out on dates or tried to sleep with them. Otherwise he appeared to be a heterosexual male. Now I have no feelings in the matter with him being gay or straight. He seemed pretty sex neutral (now I know why) and he is a bit older so he doesn't hit the bars/clubs much anyway to be a wingman (moot now with the lady.) He said something about being asked questions as therapeutic, but is it weird that I really only had one concerning when he knew and what his type was. Other than that I don't have any questions. He happily volunteered that dudes gave better head than females to fuck with me, but I've heard that line before, and the lesbian version a million times. Anyone have a friend come out and not expect it? Or expect it? *Don't give me shit for this, there are typical signs. Looking at you soap boxers.
It's sort of this, but mostly that the books >>>> show in terms of everything that is important (characters, plot, and...plot) so I can only assume that the only enjoyment you get out of the show is watching all the pretty dresses.
So, let me get this, well, um, straight... He comes out to you and then expects you to ask him a bunch of questions about his feelings and all the minutia about being an open gay man so you two can "discuss" his lifestyle choice over appletinis? Yeah, sounds pretty gay.
Had to give a accreditation tour today, only I had no idea I was going to be the guy for that. She showed up, I found the boss, boss said "nah, I don't need to talk to her". Go me. Slight wrinkle, it turned out to not be in English. Fuck.
I'm a little pissed I'm the last to know. I asked him "Are you also a racist in telling me last because I'm black and you think all black people are homophobes?" I was just wondering how other people handled it. All his friends know, his family doesn't yet, but the chances of his mom and dad not accepting him are > 5%.
I had a friend come out once, but he showed all the typical signs -- obsessed with penis size, worked in advertising, pretended to like women but was inordinately concerned with their being groomed to to point of unrealism, had a crush on the quarterback from his favorite football team* -- it was pretty obvious to both of us for a while. *Don't give me shit for this, these are typical signs. Looking at you soap boxers.
It's a pretty big jump to go from cautiously closeted to a walking gay encyclopedia. I'd say he's still reconciling these feelings, which is why he needs something "therapeutic." I would just ignore that request. And yea, I found out my best friend was gay when he left his Facebook open on my laptop and I accidentally saw messages between him and his male fuckbuddy. He didn't come out until around a year later.
Oh Nom, I thought you'd be the most helpful here. And when the girlfriend is away, I don't shave, so I'm not obsessed with my grooming. Also, fuck you, a brotha just needs to stay fly sometimes.
