Let’s try to get back to the OP.

**Count Blucher** , you already answered this topic with your own answer. If you wish to continue telling others about your own story, feel free to make a new thread about it. It’s just starting to derail this one.

I hate The Big Lebowski, and just about any and every Christopher Nolan movie.

</div>

I hated The Lord of the Rings movies and think that almost all fantasy is dreck with the exceptions of Jack Vance, Ursula LeGuin and some of Martin (but that guy needed an editor).

I love smileys. :):p:D

And (((hugs))).

And cutesy names for Doper spouses and children.

And if I had my way, there would be avatars.

I use the word literally in figurative expressions, and believe there’s nothing wrong with that.

I’m fine with the sneakbragging because while we’re here on the boards and posting, nothing consequential results. People should have a place to say crazy shit where they have no repercussions.

I regularly purchase tabloid mags like OK! and Life and Style

I haven’t had a valid drivers license or carried car insurance in 3 years (but I don’t drive my own car since last May so the insurance part no longer applies- the vehicles I now commandeer are insured)

I am in direct sales and I BELIEVE, hahahaha

I’m in the process of building an “assault rifle”, an AR-15.

I have no use for one, and really don’t even enjoy shooting them that much, got that out of my system in the military. I’m looking at as a technical challenge.

The really stupid part is that because I’m completing the lower receiver myself, I can’t even sell the thing if I do finish it.

I think the mods here do a pretty good job, for the most part.

I like UGG boots.

I wear sweatpants in public. I also prefer briefs to boxers.

I like to play thread games in the Games Room.

I hate jeans. I hated jeans when I was a wide, stumpy 12-20 year old and every single pair had to be shortened by a foot. The bellbottom years were especially grievous. Jeans looked all wrong on my squat peasant body. I never found them comfortable, never owned that filthy smelly pair that fit like a glove for 10 years, but was told I HAD to wear them to ‘fit in’. (like what was the alternative, purple polyester stretch pants?) Well, now I’m older, squatter, fatter, and guess what? I might just call up QVC and order lime green stretch pants and a matching sequined top with tropical fishes on it, HA! Can’t wait!

I take the Jehovah Witness propaganda I find in waiting rooms and rip it up and throw it away. Sometimes, I rip it up and put return it to the magazine rack to make even more of a statement

I live in Hawaii, and never have to deal with de-icing my car, snow-shoveling, or heating bills. In winter, I am exempt from those types of rants.

Dances with Wolves is one of my favorite movies of all time

Have just discovered this thread. Guinastasia, me too: and, I equally loathe Terry Pratchett (and I’m British !). For me, both P’s are utterly un-funny and abhorrent – in part for similar, and in part for different, reasons. Well, we all have our oddities…
