Clovesquote:This troper has taken up smoking cloves (yes, I aspire to the Cool Smoking suspension) and once applied the logic of pro-equality movements (namely in relation to Gay Rights) in a rather tongue-in-cheek manner one frigid day (I also grew up around and currently reside forty minutes outside of Buffalo, New York; make of that what you will). Turning to a friend who so happens to be both a fellow clove-addict and a lesbian, I cried in my best falsified indignation: "This isn't a personal choice! This is a lifestyle! Why should we be treated as inferior citizens for it? What happened to liberty and equality under the law?" When she pointed out what exactly I'd just done, we decided to start a new political organization: Fags For Fags (or: F-Cubed). We plan to bring tobacco, cloves, marijuana, shisha, and what-have-you to all underprivileged inner-city gay youths. Leadership quote:This troper is highly sensitive to cigarette smoke- it gives me terrible headaches and makes me sick to my stomach. Therefore, I feel justified to glare at smokers, since their habit literally makes me sick. Combine that with the fact that my grandmother died because of her smoking, and her smoking gave my grandfather cancer, and you have someone who is very anti-smoking. I'm not anti-smoker- I've got several friends who smoke, but they only do it outside in their own backyards- however, the ones who feel entitled and that they are some kind of "opressed minority" like the letter mentioned above really piss me off. There was an incident last summer at camp when I was a Leadership program participant- sort of like an in-between camper/counselor combo. We were walking a bunch of younger kids to a cafe, and one of the 5th-grade boys, seeing a smoker, said "Hey, he's smoking!" Not as an insult, just as a statement of fact. The smoker blew smoke in the little boy's face and said "Tastes good, doesn't it, you little twerp?" I told him that was an inappropriate thing to do to a small child, and he called me a bitch. And smokers wonder why non-smokers don't like them... Victorian quote:Due to a particularly eventful query on the livejournal community little_details, this troper has of late resolved to only use profanity suitable to Victorian adolescents. Like "dash it!" and "drat" (which I already use copiously), "mercy!" "heavens!", "for shame", "goodness", and "oh, bother!". Less G-rated, we have the appellation/exclamation of "hellnonce!" It has just the right connotations, both blasphemous, sexual and generally abusive to the subject, and— it's just plain fun to say. Come on. Say it. Groin quote:This troper has two examples: Headbutt quote:This troper was explaining the "headbutt to the ovaries" from Maddox's Alphabet of Manliness to a friend and an incredibly thick girl he knew. He went through the motions, explaining that you need to have an excuse to be down there, so "try proposing," and the ditzy target did nothing as I was explaining it before this troper grabbed both of her hips and, well, headbutted her in the ovaries. Mua ha ha ha... Flagpole quote:I've gone through the whole page and I have a tale that tops THE WHOLE PAGE IN SHEER HORROR. DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE SQUEAMISH. THIS IS AN ENTIRELY TRUE TALE. A friend of mine who was a medic at a Singapore army camp told me about an incident where the flag got stuck halfway up the flagpole. Flagpole has two prongs, one sticking up and one facing down, to wind the line around to secure the flag. One of the soldiers jumped up a few times to try to unstick the flag. Long story short, he got hurt. Apparently there was a huge amount of blood, and the thing in the testicle that resembles a coiled up string actually UNRAVELLED ABOUT ONE AND A HALF METERS OVER THE GROUND. My friend actually had to collect the cord in order to casualty evacuate the soldier to the medical centre. Last they heard was that he was discharged from the army and has significant mental problems now. If you for some reason happen to visit any Singapore army camp, you will see that, at this point in time, almost all the flagpoles have a large yellow box surrounding them and the words "DO NOT JUMP" or something similar written in large letters inside.

At the high end, a wealthy socialite who wanted her husband dead gave Johnson $200,000 in jewels as a down payment on the killing. At the low end, a teenager once offered him "seven Atari computer games, three dollar bills, and $2.30 in nickels and dimes" to take out a romantic rival.

Browsing through old posts in the dumb marketing thread and came across some good goon stdhScreaming Idiot posted:I had to "take some time off" in a psychiatric ward for a while and I got lumped in with some recovering drug addicts, and because I was the most coherent person there I had to officiate the AA meeting. So I did it in the most overwrought preacher voice I could, and it changed from a depressing "oh poor pitiful me save me Jesus" fest into a good laugh from everyone involved. And then we all watched How To Train Your Dragon and had dinner. AA is awesome as long as you're surrounded by a bunch of bored druggies with time to kill until dinner.

When I was a bit younger I used to be friends with people who had Troper-like friends and they were the worst to be around. I still have a colleague like that. He's in his early 40s and proudly ignorant of pop culture. During UEFA '16 he would literally one day go "Ah, I didn't know UEFA 16 was going on." I mean come the gently caress on man.

There's literally some huge sports event or another going on at any given time and it's extremely easy for someone not interested to just gloss over all of it and stay completely ignorant of which one it is without any effort. If you're talking about the world championship and someone asks "which sport" there's a fifty-sixty chance the question is in earnest.

I work right next to a stadium, so every so often the chit-chat will turn to sports. We're talking really simple water-cooler chatting that anyone could follow. There's always that one guy. "Oh hey, is the team playing this weekend?" "Yeah, they've been doing well so far." "Oh that's cool." "They're doing better than last year, at lea--" "I just don't GET sports." Every goddamn time.

Not knowing what's going on with (whatever) sport is about as unforgivable as not knowing what's going on with Dancing With The Stars. People have different hobbies. It's OK if your go-to topic of discussion doesn't work with everyone.

Alaois posted:there's a difference between "I don't follow sports" and "I don't FOLLOW sports. " Exactly this. I don't pretend to have anything more than a passing interest in however the local team is doing, but derailing every single conversation about sports to talk about how you don't like them is incredibly annoying. The same goes for "I don't own a TV, I read" when someone mentions a show.

If you're talking about the world championship and someone asks "which sport" there's a fifty-sixty chance the question is in earnest. There is a literally no way any European will hear the words 'The World Cup' and not immediately assume you're talking about football/soccer. There is no way to not know when it's going on unless you actively ignore all forms of media and never go outside.
