I often hear "party school" when someone is trying to explain why they didn't do well in college.

I wonder how often he tries to bring up the prison system in conversation so he can whip that story out.

I wonder how many nights he went home from the bar alone because he didn't have an interesting story to tell. Enough that he pulled out that deep cut as the greatest moment of his life. "Alright, so I was a kid, and we were pretending to be lawyers..."

tankadillo posted:In real life, I hope he also begins every story by explaining the concept of a mock trial, and ends it by mentioning how, despite his crowningly awesome comment, they lost anyway. That may be the most depressing part. It's your story, you can embellish it in any way you want. Nobody is going to fact-check you and ask your former classmates whether or not you actually won the big trial.

Sometimes he'll even tell me stories about things I've done, with him edited in place of myself.

Most bears I know aren't closeted to begin with. They're quite happy with who they are; they dance and sing and smell of leather and Old Spice. And they jingle when they walk.

I always enjoy stories about drugs, drug dealers, drug addicts, etc where it's obvious about three sentences in that the person is just reciting stories from DARE. The guy was on DRUGS because he wanted PENCILS to defend himself from MONSTERS and that's why I BIT HIS EAR OFF

Some people really don't have much going on in their lives outside of sleep, work, eating, and the pop culture they consume and with which they identify. And when they're occasionally in a group of people with everyone is telling stories or talking about what they did over the weekend or the upcoming ski trip, there's really nothing for them to say. And they learned a long time ago that "I beat Assassin's Creed III on Hardcore difficulty!" is not really the conversation people want to have at the water cooler. So they get frustrated and uncomfortable. Some of them will actually pilfer stories from others, as we saw a few pages ago. Others will make something up entirely without ever pausing to consider the asininity of how it sounds out loud. And still others will take a cue from movies and television where the good guy beats up the bad guy and everyone claps, without any of the aftermath like getting arrested for assault. Imagine you have no life experiences worth mentioning in a casual conversation. Now imagine the incredible urge to take part anyway, regardless of how loving stupid the contribution is.

I always appreciate someone telling a story in a group of people that aren't really paying attention. They smile politely, but they start dropping out one by one. The person panics and suddenly the story is action-packed! A few years ago my ex-wife was friends with this woman that was absolutely full of poo poo. One day she's telling a story about a dough mishap at a restaurant kitchen in Disney World that she worked at and she notices nobody cares. So next thing you know, there was a fight! And someone grabbed a cookie sheet and hit someone else in the neck with it! And it severed his...you know, that big vein! And he died right there next to the mixer!
