sloth, I suppose…give me something I can commit without really trying
- dodge_this, patron saint of imperfection
Lust gets my vote…and I’m sure it’s on the way to being the hands down favorite. Lust shouldn’t even be a deadly sin. I mean–how unfair to even associate it with Greed and Wrath.
Deadly Sins: Greed, Wrath
Rotten Sins: Envy, Pride
Goofy Sins: Gluttony, Sloth
Pardonable Everybody’s-Doing-It Sin: Lust
What kind of “Seven Deadly Sins” pick on Lust, but leave out Hate, Rudeness, Insincerity, Shallowness, Pigheadedness, Prejudice, and Cloying Sentimentality–just to name a few? The wrong kind.
Golf isn’t one of them? Woohoo!
Before we had kids I’d put Lust at the top of the list, with all the others a distant second.
But now, I gotta go for Sloth. Cuz most nights the idea of sleep wins out over just about anything else.
Something dun got messed up!
My point was that TM’s line ‘…I want to be lazy and have many orgasms’ was so funny - yet true. I don’t just want this for a sig, I want it as a tshirt!
For me, I would have to second TM’s mixture and add a bit of gluttony. BAM! Just to kick it up a notch!

Oh, Sloth, definitely. I was almost too lazy to post this, but somehow I managed to work myself up to it …
If there is such a thing as reincarnation, I hope to come back as an actual sloth …
Ack! Another illusion, shot to hell!
It should be, dammit. Especially if you wear those funny golf pants.
Oh i dunno, Arden…maybe secretly you want the golf pants. You COVET the golf pants!! You are envious of them, admit it!!
Somehow I think Wrath is the one involved with golf pants. (Where do they find those particularly obscene ones anyway? You know, the ones that look like Walt Disney himself barfed them up. The Discarded Clown thrift shop?)
What was it Chris Rock said about golf?
“… the only place a white man can dress like a black pimp and get away with it.”
Or something like that.
Maybe I covet what’s in 'em, **Zoggie[/b. 
As much as I want it to be Lust, Pride actually wins out (narrowly).
-
Pride - I’m an attractive, talented, intelligent and articulate human male - how can I not be infused with hubris?
-
Lust - As a result of my pride, I have a great deal of passion, which I don’t want to contain within myself and deliriously enjoy sharing with women who like good-naturedly arrogant men
-
Wrath - With pride comes temper. Goes back to the passion thing.
-
Avarice - I want (and feel I deserve) all I can gather unto myself.
-
Gluttony - Because I am so proud, I don’t let this one get too out of control, but I very much enjoy the best of things and refuse to indulge in asceticism
-
Envy - Who have I to be envious of?
-
Sloth - At least to my own disposition, being proud and lazy are two mutually exclusive sins. Pride takes too much energy to maintain.
I think I speak for many of us on the board with the following:
"I’m very well acquainted
with the Seven Deadly Sins
I keep a busy schedule
Trying to fit them in
I’m proud to be a glutton
and I don’t have time for sloth
I’m greedy and I’m angry
and I don’t care who I cross."
– Warren Zevon, “Mr. Bad Example”
Please choose from the following menu:
-
Pants? You’re supposed to wear pants???
-
I wear the funny pants so I can pretend that no one is laughing at my swing.
-
The multi-colored pants are simply part of an elaborate plumage ritual. The richer you are, the more colorful the pants. This allows the divorcees in the clubhouse to select a mate.
-
If I wore pants, how would I swing my club?
-
We get better pants as we become better golfers, like belts in Karate. Ever notice that Tiger wears nice pants? I do not wear nice pants.
-
Hey, if you’re going to spend that much time in the sand, woods and water, it’s just smart not to over-invest in clothing.
-
We wear them so the cart girls can spot us to deliver our beers. And so the marshal can find us when we’re still out on the course after dark.
Hmmm…
:: pretending it’s a tough choice ::
I chose 1.
[hey. It goes along with my chose Deadly Sin.]
Or something like that.
It was Robin Williams that said that. I have to check in as a Glutton though hanging out here has brought me a new appreication of lust.
And this is a very special post because [Wakko Warner voice] I’m not wearing any pants![/Wakko Warner voice]
(Edited to correct coding–I hope. Added end tags for bolding and quoting after “…get away with it.”)

Lust. Lust definitely wins hands down.
And sometimes, my hands are down when lust is upon me.
Jesus H. Christ. The only one I can even be accused of is Wrath. I have an amazing temper, but it does help me to be a major ass-kicker who can get it done.
The first time anyone sees me lose my temper, their mouth just drops. A lot of people are very scared of setting me off.
No way I could be acused of any of the rest. I guess I lead a very boring life.
Oh, Annie, wrath is very fun. Haven’t you seen/read The Shining? 
You GO, sister! Figure out a way for us mortals to have 'em all!
