> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Jurhael \* > \*\*Course what do I know? I’ve never been in love. Heheheh \*\* Yea. You just wait my friend. When you least expect it, someone grabs a hold of your heart like that scarey priest in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and just starts _squeeeeeezing_. Though I’ve been told the experiance is sometimes pleasent. I dunno, a roller coster stops being fun when it’s all vomiting and no screaming-good-times. ---

I’ve had a crush on Swiddles since she first appeared here. Frankly, I can’t fathom her single-ness (singularity, singling… um). What a wacky world we live in. ---

Tripler I’d prefer the lake of fire to love, anyday. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by GuanoLad \* > I’ve had a crush on Swiddles since she first appeared here. \*\*Frankly, I can’t fathom her single-ness (singularity, singling… um). \*\* I really just quoted this to bump this post. 🙂 But seriously, if my past history to blame, the only explaination I can give you comes courtesy of an ex of mine: “Too fucking much trouble to deal with.” He was a prince amoung men, let me tell you. And he SUCKED in bed. I mention this only because I try and tell as many human beings on EARTH this fact. Dump me and I’ll continue to be your friend. Insult me to my friends, talk shit about me to my (then) current boyfriend, and don’t doubt that I might let it slip that Mr. Peepers has issues when he’s been drinking. OK. So I MIGHT be a bit of vindictive bitch. The aforementioned fellow, after relaying the above quote to my then-boyfriend decided to grace me with conversation by ambling up to me and showing me his new tattoo, which was ON HIS FOREARM. “Gee, that kinda looks like a Klu Klux Klan symbol.” says Swiddles, smiling patronizingly. “No,” says confused asshole, “It’s a Japenese symbol for a basket because…” “Yea, I can see what it’s SUPPOSED to look like, but it kinda looks like a KKK symbol to me.” He stared at me slack jawed for a good 5 seconds and then walked away without saying anything. We haven’t spoken since. But REALLY. If you’re going to get a tattoo on your FOREARM, please ask everyone you know if it looks even MILDLY like a symbol of hate. In my defense, I don’t turn into Alanis Morisette until I’ve been dumped. I’m sweet as pie to the guys I’ve dumped, and obviously not a wench to someone I am IN a relationship with. Even when I fight, I’m nice. I only turn into a gremlin when I’ve been burned. There you are, Dopers. Swiddle’s dark side. ---

What’s the KKK symbol look like? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by j\_kat\_251 \* > \*\*What’s the KKK symbol look like? \*\* Sorta like [This](http://www.symbols.com/encyclopedia/29/291.html), but with WAY thicker lines, and three crosses that are at angles to each other, forming a kind of box. It’s hard to explain, and I can’t find an example of it anywhere. He said it was some kind of Japenese basket thing. ::shrug:: I mean, it wasn’t a swastika or anything, but I was feeling mean, and it DOES have a few similar design elements. And this guy has ranted about people who get stupid tattoos in visible places to me before. So he deserved it. Sorta. ::mwaahahahaaaa:: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-happy-youre-in-love-but-i-dont-want-to-hear-about-it/144411.md?page=1)
