Pride. The others I can keep under control. But my vanity has been my most faithful companion. ---

The above from Nym, of course, was my post. Even at someone else’s house, I expect all of the profile settings to be mine. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by manhattan \* > \*\*Golf isn’t one of them? Woohoo! \*\* The only legimate use for golf courses is sneaking in late on Dec. 24th to chop down a contraband Christmas tree. Golf is a maddening non-sport that manages to mix perfectly good sins and _make them boring_. Think about it: pride, envy, sloth (motorized carts?!) and lust. Grrrr. My sin? (Not the perfume. The only sin is wearing it; the stuff smells like Eau de Bangkok Cathouse.) **Sloth.** Sloth has gotten an undeservedly bad rep. Slothful folks don’t start wars, pitch hissy fits over politics, religion, etc, chase other people’s spouses, etc. Don’t _achieve_ much either but very inoffensive in a blobbish way. Blinking in the sunshine and yawning, Veb ---

Gluttony- check Avarice- yup Sloth- \ popcorn, past and a well used couch… unh-huh Lust- Nope, _never_ Pride- I’m proud of this one. Wrath- Screw you, I’ll enjoy whatever I want! Envy- This one is actually the only one I can say, seriously, NO, to. The bonus of price, averice and gluttony is that I do what I want and want for very little. ---

Think about it: pride, envy, sloth (motorized carts?!) and lust. \*\* Heh. The two I experience most often on the course are envy (how does Tiger _do_ that?) and wrath (_plop_ Goddam it! _plop_ Goddam it!). Lust on the course is for teenagers. I think more people have lost their virginity on a 16th green somewhere than in all the cars of the world. ---

I would have to say that pride interests me the most. I enjoy watching people who are proud and have nothing to be proud about. Hey, it beats watching the cows graze. ---

> [@](#): > > **Originally posted by me** > Sloth- \ popcorn, [i\pasta\* and a well used couch… unh-huh Yet I have enough energy after leaving the bars _early_ (they close at 4 here), to correct my fuck-up! Man, the lust was in overdrive tonight. I would like to connonize whome ever invented those strappy backed blouses women wear along with the “ass-pants.” You know what I’m talking about, those wonderful black pants women are wearing these days that just hug the ass so terrificly…\ ---

Kee-ryst! Make that “I would like to cannonize whom ever invented those strappy backed blouses” All the other typos are just drunken babbling, so read through, thanks. ---

Do I even have to say it? Lust! Although i have partook in gluttenous lust as well…you know as in: More More MORE! Don’t you DARE stop now! Deeper,harder,keep licking there with MORE pressure! ::goes to take cold shower since it’s too early to call the fuckbuddy:: ---

Gluttony. When I first found out about roman vomitoriums, I thought, “That’s a really good idea…”. Think about it: How great would it be to just continually gorge yourself on your favorite foods for hours and hours? I’m salivating just imagining it. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Zoggie \* > \*\*Oh, Annie, wrath is very fun. Haven’t you seen/read The Shining? 😛 \*\* Right author, wrong book. When I get angry with someone, it’s more like “Carrie.” Get me mad, and you will need a doctor for some bizarre accident or medical problem, and I am not joking. People who piss me off have had everything from broken hips to hemmoroid operations within the week! ---

Well, still, very fun. Come on where are all you envy-lovers? Those who like to covet others? We’ve had gluttons, and sloths, and lust-lovers, and those who adore pride, as well as a few wraths. You’re out there, aren’t you? Well stop lurking and post, damnit. Everyone’s jealous sometimes. Except me, as I’m too proud. (Kidding, kidding…) ---
