    You shouldn't ask such hard questions this early in the afternoon.

  • Weird (Score:2)

    by Tet ( 2721 ) *
    I'm considered pretty weird myself by many. Of course. I think I'm normal and it's the rest of them that are odd. But I digress. I suppose it would have to be a friend from University. Picture the scene... It's the middle of January. It's about 3 degees below zero, and it's snowing. Quite hard. It's 2:30am, and we've been sitting around in his college room. Collectively (I can't put all the blame on him for this), we decide that it's time for an ice cream. The only things on campus are the drinks and munchi
  • But I know this guy who is 36 has never been with a woman, or man. Fiegned being inlove with a woman he couldn't get even if he weren't a hideously deformed freak. Lives alone. Has held the same job since 1987, same position. Refused to be promoted. Refused a lap dance. Has never been in a fist fight. And showers in his "shower shorts".

    • Refused a lap dance. Has never been in a fist fight.

      I refused a lap dance last night. I've never been in a fist fight, either. Perhaps he's not so odd after all (or maybe I am...)

  • We formed a Spy Committee to report on our neighbors activities. Wit, Spex, Shorty, Mynx, and XSn (me) aren't mere nicknames; they're our secret spy names. We have been known to sneak around the premises in black clothes toting a bottle of white vinegar.

    I don't really have any interesting stories about us. Except that Wit, Mynx and myself made a trip to Historic Fort Snelling last weekend because Wit wanted rock candy. Her endeavors to make rock candy from Kool-Aid and sugar were ineffective, and she
  • I can do that, can't I?

    I just got this in an email from my boyfriend:
    Have you considered the possibility that the Mario Kart predicate (If [Some Woman] gets a job she will buy Mario Kart) might actually have IFF in it, e.g. if and only if [Some Woman] gets a job she will buy Mario Kart? If this were true you could have found a job a long time ago just by buying Mario Kart:)
    Yeah. I want to change my answer. :^)

  • My good friend Steve who Shot Himself (Score:3, Interesting)

    by sielwolf ( 246764 ) on Wednesday October 06, 2004 @09:49AM (#10449810) Homepage Journal
    One of my best friends who I met when I was in HS and who I'm still friends with today. Things Steve has done:
    • He has drunk himself almost to death on two occassions. Once by himself where he's said he's lucky he fell unconscious face down and so didn't choke on his vomit.
    • He has taken up bowling, got his rock and shoes, joined three leagues in one year... then promptly stopped playing and hasn't played since (this was eight years ago).
    • He has also, taken up paintball, archery, golf, and pool. Similar to his bowling kicks each of these were marked by huge purchases in equipment, an intense interest, followed by percipitous disuse.
    • Steve owns 500 or so hardcover books. Books he's purchased with his own money. He's read none of them.
    • Steve has gone to college for six years as an English Major. Steve's opinion on the Major of English: "It is a complete fucking waste of time." Steve still has not graduated. Steve has enough credits to graduate. Why? "There's no use getting a degree without my honor's thesis". He hasn't worked on his honor thesis in four years.
    • While only maintaining a HS Diploma, Steve has had the following jobs:
      • He has painted houses in a house painting company his brother had started. This promptly folded after one summer.
      • Moved furniture.
      • Delivered pizzas several times between 1999 and 2004. Steve is 28 years old BTW.
      • Shelved books at a bookstore.
      • A West Virginia Bingo Parlor. His brother owned this too. His brother's father-in-law ran one of the shops and was stealing money from it. Steve's brother picked up an oxycotin addiction here. WVA made these bingo parlors illegal recently.
      • His current occupation: he works as a goapher at "charity poker events" his brother runs. Naturally he is paid in cash bills.
    • These poker events take place at odd hours. This means Steve works Thursday through Sunday from 6pm to 8am. He does this two weekends in a row and then has two weekends off.
    • Calculated, Steve works 4 days two weeks in a row and then has 18 days off. In those 18 days off, Steve was unable to visit me because "the Olympics are on". I guess Steve found out we didn't get to watch the Olympics in Maryland.
    • In August some guys robbed Steve's charity poker event. One guy was doing the "pointed finger beneath a sweatshirt" thing. One guy had a real gun. Steve said this stopped him from being a hero. The guys walked away with several k in cash. The next weekend the same guys showed up, both now with guns. Of course an off-duty cop was there. The cop and one of the guy's pulled guns on each other. The cop fired from the hip and ducked around the corner. A firefight was going to happen, he thought. Instead a thump was heard. It turns out when the cop fired, he shot the bad guy between the first and second knuckle of his hand holding his gun. The .38 bullet deflected off of the grip, angled up, and entered the bad guy's face between his nose and mouth. The bullet then continued out through his head, severing his spinal cord. Killed him instantly. Outside of JFK getting shot by Lee Harvey Oswald, these stories only seem to happen when Steve is around.
    • Steve owns a house. Paid off. It was the house he grew up in. Steve got this house from his parents, for free, when they moved to Kentucky. Steve is angry when his parents come back every two weeks to visit and "take over his house".
    • Steve has a Genius IQ. Steve had trouble passing the ACT.
    • The Finale: Why is he Steve Who Shot Himself? As Steve is want to do, he takes up intense interest in things. Steve, while not working on his thesis and living in his parents' basement (the house he would own in three years) he decided to take up an interest in guns. So Steve bought himself a Sig Sauer 226. He then got himself a Beretta 92F, .45 USP, a Taurus .44 shortbarrel, a
  • the weirdest person I know is em. He writes funny polls on this really bizarre place called "slashdot". But lately he hasn't done that much - probably the new Em isn't as good at it as the previous owner of the Em account. But he does constantly ask random questions outside of any meaningful context. It's so strange. That Em... :-)
  • I know this guy... he's pretty weird. He's obsessed with music, but never actually does anything about it... just spends a lot of time playing and often dreams about actually "doing something" with his music but actually doesn't have the first clue as to what to do.

    He's often prone to mood swings, especially lately... where he'll just verbally vomit things that even though he knows not to be true, still feels compelled to paint himself in the worst possible light.

    I used to hate this guy, he was such a dra
  • and he's one of the coolest, most selfless people you could ever hope to meet. that's not what makes him wierd. if you're lucky you'll meet him some day and then you'll know what i mean.
  • I was going to say Em, but eglamowski took it already. :-)

    So I guess I'll talk about my friend Wesley. Now, Wesley goes by "Bubba" and is over 300 pounds. His hair and facial hair are usually unkempt and maybe looking greasy or dirty. He wears a Tshirt all the time, usually the same few over and over. He's 23 or so and lives with his grandparents, because he developed an alcohol problem at college and they made him come home. What make him stand out in my mind is his method of picking up girls. He us

    • Dude, you've got to say to me on the phone some time: "Bubba and me done gone fishin' I reckon."

      I promise not to record it and post it on a web site making fun of your Southern accent! :) :) :)
      • Who has a southern accent? Ok, I'll admit, when I'm drinking I do, and it seems that is the time I always happen to think to call you. :-)
  • ...that lives in this room in my house. Some people may know him as "LordBodak", but I am pretty sure he is not royalty.

    He rules over his kingdom (his bedroom) coming out to leave for work, forage for work, and hit me for reasons only known to him.

    It seems to disturb him when I stand in the hallway and stare at him. At times I feel like the lady who went to the jungle to observe the gorillas, but luckily the Bodak has not advanced to dung flinging. He only responds with snarls and rubber darts.

  • I used to work with this guy at a restaurant named Arthur. Or rather he told everyone his name was Arthur but it was actually something completely different. Anyways, he was your run of the mill weird guy - unusual way of dressing, talking, etc - nothing too special. Then one day he came in to work, went back to the kitchen, and placed the palms of his hands on a flattop grill for about 5 minutes. He then proceeded to go wash dishes with his burnt, bleeding hands.

  • just like my sisters, always quick to give me hell about the non-related females in my life!
    • Well maybe if you'd stop being so damn picky and get one I wouldn't have to. However right now you're slacking obviously, so get back to work.
      • Actually...everyone could save me some time otherwise spent hounding Triumph. If anyone is looking for an extremely picky over achiever who practically glows due to the lack of sunshine please let me know. Poontang...I mean applicants must meet the following criteria: No tatoos, even pen-marks should be thoroughly washed off. Very smart, smart enough to keep him out of trouble. Nearly genius need not bother. Extremely attractive, like Savanah Sampson beautiful, but having grown up on an island so that
  • But I'm "weird" enough that I've gotten shit over it so much over the years I refuse to point fingers at anyone else over it.

    Sorry if that's too "serious" or "pc" or anything; it's just how I feel after 30+ years of getting shit.
