I’ll be honest, I’m starting this “ask the” thread for the very reasons mentioned in the title: I’m an attention whore and I love talking about myself. Thus, I will answer almost any question you ask. Anything you’ve ever wanted to know about me will be revealed. If you don’t have anything to ask then feel free to use this thread to mock me all you want. ---

So do you not have a question\*\*?\*\* (Jus playin’) Anyways, with this type of person, usually the only thing I have to say is “How are you?” or “What’s up?” and they’ll keep the converstion going from there ---

You’re new to being an attention whore aren’t you? It’s ok, you can admit it, I can tell you’re new. I can tell you’re new because you haven’t started a single thread in ATMB complaining about the most minute thing in the world that could easily and maturely be resolved through a series of e-mails. We even have one of them in this thread, maybe you can ask for tips and tricks! ---

Would you buy second-hand underpants? ---

> [@Winston\_Smith](#): > > Would you buy second-hand underpants? No. That’s just gross. Any second-hand clothing items I buy have to be washed in scalding hot water before I’ll put them on. I don’t think doing that could make me feel comfortable about wearing somebody else’s underwear, though. Speaking of buying, I did go shopping yesterday, but I didn’t buy any underwear, used or otherwise. I bought mustard, though. > [@Covered\_In\_Bees](#): > > You’re new to being an attention whore aren’t you?

I don’t know…maybe. Maybe I’m not an attention whore so much as a guy who just likes to talk about topics that he actually knows something about and, of course, myself is the topic I know more about than anyone else does. Who knows? I don’t like to go overboard with my attention-whoreness. > [@Lust4Life](#): > > If I keep asking you questions about yourself will you give me money ? No. I barely have enough money for myself. > [@LiveOnAPlane](#): > > Do your feet sweat? Yes, all the time. I’m on my feet for most of the day and it makes my feet hurt and sweat like you wouldn’t believe. My wife’s nickname for me is “choujiao” (“stinkfoot”). > [@fifty-six](#): > > Have you ever drank your own urine? No. I can’t foresee a situation wherein I’d have to do that. > [@wombatinspats](#): > > Have you ever actually had kidney failure? Never. The story of how I selected my username has been revealed on these boards in the past if you’d like to look it up. > [@Isamu](#): > > Tell me about your … childhood **kidneyfailure** I’ll just assume you mean my “childhood,” and not my “childhoos kidney failure,” as I’ve never had kidney failure before. My childhood was your typical middle-class childhood in the 80’s and 90’s. However, I mostly just shut myself up in my room and read books. Didn’t really have too many friends, just a couple close ones, and pretty much kept to myself. Mom and Dad got a divorce when I was young…that really hurt. Luckily, I was able to have a good, fulfilling relationship with both of them even after they both remarried. > [@becbec](#): > > Have you been through a kidney transplant? Uh, no. My kidneys seem to be working fine thus far. ---
