I hate being alone in public, period. Its just awkward for me, can't explain it. I won't do bars alone. The closest I came was sitting alone at a Hooters bar waiting for my buddies to get there for a fantasy football draft. I sat at the bar alone for an hour drinking beers and watching ESPN, but I felt fucking awkward the entire time. I ended up leaving a huge tip because I felt extra strange being at a Hooters alone for a while. Then again, I have zero qualms sitting at home and drinking alone. Sure, its a sign of an alcoholic. Or an introvert that prefers being alone at home.
Putting on a bathing suit and sitting on the computer is almost as good as actually going swimming, right? Right?
I've gone to bars alone if there were games I wanted to watch but couldn't otherwise. Wound up in a very awkward situation with some gay spaniards once.
It's Pronounced "JIF", Weekend Drunk Thread Okay honestly I just found the best GIF ever and I can't fucking post from mobile.
I guess sports bars could be an exception. There's enough televisions and Golden Tee to keep a lone person occupied. And NO, I never got the obsession with Golden Tee.
Yeah It's only possible at pubs/ sports bars with TVs. Otherwise too many people/too much contemplation.
I've never understood why it's so frowned upon to go to a movie by yourself or even stop into a bar and have a drink without company. There are a million and one reasons why people would engage in those activities alone and everyone automatically jumps to "he's gotta be a loser/social outcast to not have people with him". Sometimes you just want to do certain things on your own and don't need to convince people to accompany you. And really, what does it matter if someone at the theater or bar secretly judges you about being there alone, you'll likely never see them again anyway, and if you do it still doesn't matter.
Eh, it doesn't. But if I'm going to drink, I can do it more cheaply at home and there I get to pick which channel to watch. If you're going out solely to drink, I don't see why you wouldn't just stay at home. but like you said, to each his own. On another note, a little more than a month left until EVO 2013. I'm so excited I'll likely be at half mast until then. Any other fighting game enthusiasts hiding around here?
This. I drink alone all the time. I'm doing it right now. I don't see the point in paying extra money to hear music you don't want to listen to, or try to make out what they're talking about on the tv while other conversations drown it out. If you're not getting smashed and just want to knock back a few, why go out alone? I kind of get the sports thing, but I mainly watch football/Olympics (as does everyone)so that's much more avoidable than being a hockey fan.
My buddy just texted me, the one who's an artist at comic con this weekend, saying we're going to meet Tom Savini. For those who don't know the name, he invented modern horror make-up effects, and played Sex Machine in From Dusk till Dawn. Rad.
I think I just heard all the guys' boners deflating. Come on bewildered, you know one-piece suits don't exist in guy world! I'm currently trying to control my excitement as I'm bidding on some gun part for my dad's gun on eBay since he is completely computer illiterate. I dread when he calls and I have to try to walk him through something. "What's the refresh button?" "How do I look up my history?" Easy right? Not with my dad. My sister has a hard time when she goes out since she knows how much cheaper she can get it herself since she owns a distributorship. Doesn't stop her though. Although she tells me she rarely pays for her drinks.
I had to share this, it was gonna go in the porn thread because it didn't really fit anywhere else but this thread conveniently came along. I could watch this for hours, it has an almost hypnotic quality to it. NSFW Also its a hard G you fucking heathens.
Call me crazy, but I'm actually a fan of the one-piece. I think it is traced back to Wendy Peffercorn.
I wear a one piece because unless I have athletic speedo style bottoms, I find that a two piece likes to move around and out of place when I'm doing laps. Also, I'm not into the whole "sunbathing in the sun like a beached whale" kind of thing. Plus, how am I going to maintain my pasty white complexion with a lifestyle like that?!
So I just read the new(ish) Chuck Palahniuk short story "Cannibal." If you haven't read it... Don't. Very little disturbs me, but that story kinda disturbed me. Or do, so I'm not the only one that will feel dirty (for lack of a better term).
Funny you mention her. Take it away, Urban Dictionary: Yup. EDIT: I just realized. How can the guy who wrote that come up with this, but not know that the kid who said "Yeah Yeah" goes by the name of Yeah-Yeah?
