However, she could be useful in certain areas of the Kingdom of Loathing....:D

Yup. We all do it. Our reasons may be different, but everyone does it.


I mean, name 5 things you get judged about frequently?

I'll go first:
  1. Keeping my own last name
  2. Dying my hair beautiful colors (beautiful is my own judgement)
  3. Going to Disney "Too Much"
  4. Not having a "real" job anymore
  5. Being loud, "popular" and valued among my friends. <that's the worst one. I get hate mail over that one even!

1) My weight. Somebody overweight surely must be lazy, and eat terribly, and sit on the couch all day.

2) My spirituality. Oh, she was raised Catholic, it must mean she thinks all of the rest of us are going to hell. Or from the other direction... oh, she's not a practicing Catholic. She must be going to hell with the rest of them.

3) My job. Oh, she's low down the totem pole in insurance. She must rob from babies. Or, she must not know enough to be listened to. And she definitely must not have two bachelor's degrees.

4) My creative outlets. Oh, she's into theater, she must be flighty and airheaded. Oh, she's into film, she must want to be a star.

5) My weight. I said it already. It bears repeating.

1) My Quietness in person - Must be bored, snobish, anti-social
2) My Job - How can anyone do something so boring?
3) My belief system (or lack thereof) - I'm going to hell, or am just a plain evil or at least ignorant person
4) My spending habits - irresponsible, frivilous
5) Disney - how often do yougo? Just what exactly do you do there?

Of course, some of the above judgements might be true ;)

1). My occupation and haircolor- blonde hairdresser- stupid, much?

2). Only having one child. (Poor kid will grow up all alone, never mind that she has a zillion cousins).

3). I don't drive a mini-van or SUV. (In my neighborhood, you're a real rebel if you don't).

4). My politics, of late. Lots of nasty suppositions made about libs these days.

5). Homeschooling my kid.

1) Apparently some people are bothered that my wife is some sort of bisexual slut. But are they judging me or my wife; her bisexuality or the fact that she's married and actively bisexual?

And how many of you have read this thread and are now judging us by what you've learned?

2) I like to smoke weed.

3) Our family goes to Disneyland every year. I wish I had a dollar for every time someone has told me how weird they think that is or how lame Disneyland is for grown-ups.

4) I like to watch golf on tv.

5) Most of my extended family considers my political leanings to be "fvcked up".

I hereby judge you to be a very cool guy, Sac. Of course, I always did.:snap:

6) I love to watch women's golf. :blush: My brothers are very concerned about this hobby of mine and they aren't shy about letting me know it.


Still think I'm cool, wb?

wendybeth 11-01-2005 08:38 PM

Even cooler. I had thought you were referring to men's golf prior.

Name 11-01-2005 08:43 PM

Who doesn't like watching women's golf..... those tight shirts, short skirts, long legs, fine strokes...... oh, who am I kidding, I'm not watching it for the sake of the golf, just the girls...
