What were you THINKING?

“Words that sound alike get mixed up in my head.”

“Me, too! I used to think ‘masturbation’ meant chewing your food…I don’t think that anymore.”

… do they have tears in their eyes and call you sir?

Sometimes plProstitutes are confused with lot lizards.

Does BigT have a vast knowledge of easy listening music? And a penchant for cheap light blue Tuxedos.

I swear, this is so true in many ways. Use the incorrect word and you’re a leper, outcast, unclean, but sealion your way through multiple threads and certain people will die on a hill defending you.

I like to pretend those books don’t exist, thank you very much. :persevere:

Same here. WHY did I slog through all of those?

Those were the LAST fantasy books I ever read. Soured me on an entire genre (until I got to do fun voices while reading ‘Mistah Pottahhh’ to my kids).

Good question. I got maybe halfway through the first book and gave up when I realized I kept wanting someone to kill the protagonist because I hated him so much.

I think that was the point of the first book… The protagonist was an asshole.

I was going to apologize for participating in this hijack, but then I realized we’re all asking “What were we THINKING?”

It’s the unwired ones that scare me.

(Not a typo)

Well played.

I think if we Pit ourselves that’s totally okay.

Nonsense! A goodly number of us are gaudily weird.
