What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[Luke]

Honestly, the OBX is an amazing place to visit and travel to, I can imagine everyday life has its certain appeals, but for a person coming of age entering the work environment, there's probably not much to offer.

My parents have a place in kiawah island and swear it would survive a zombie apocalypse.


Smile: I trellised a rack of pork baby back ribs and am passing it off as rack of lamb. So far, so good.

Something about school makes me sour. I get awfully tired of a lot of the people, along with the politics of it all. If the school was a medieval society, I'd be a peasant. Possibly the guy who shovels horse shit.

How does a married man, who shares my name, get more action than me?

Self confidence goes a long way.

We're noooot having this conversation on here again. Look further back in this thread for examples.

Luke is actually a superhero. He's rescued me a couple of times from various things: volcanos, earthquakes, becoming blind, enslavement as a human action figure and babysitter, self immolation, etc. Luke's a pretty awesome guy. He can fly, shoot eye lasers, freeze folks with his breath, and even reverse time.

Still, I'll never forget our greatest adventure. I helped build a supercomputer for an evil prick named Ross (looked a lot like Robert Vaughn actually) that shot green death rays. The guy paid well, after all. Anyway, so I build this thing, and Ross ended up using it against Luke, but the truth is, after all those times of getting rescued from places like seedy back alleys and junkyards, I just felt I had to return the favor. I used an axe to stop the deathray, and Luke managed to get away, but the damn thing went crazy and turned Ross' wife into some kind of messed up cyborg while hitting the electrical grid. BOOM, outta nowhere Luke comes back with a big ole' vat of acid and melts the damn thing, and flies me right outta there to a coal mine in West Virginia. From what I hear after that, he went back and rescued some chick and got some, then shortly afterward had to fight off some kind of nuclear man. It gets kinda hazy then, and I think there was some kind of press retcon until around 2006 or so.

When I converted to Wicca in high school, my (Episcopalian) mom was a little weirded out at first, but once she realized I was still the same person and hadn't gone off the deep end, she was cool with it. Just give it some time, they'll come around. And if they don't, then they really are poor parents.

The question I have is why is it necessary to tell your parents when you're still dependent on them? Best case scenario they don't care and your life continues on as it did before. So your best case is neutral, and everything else is a negative outcome for you. Once you're on your own feel free to tell them whatever you want that might make them flip out.

That's kind of what I plan to do. Although my mother would have probably punched me in the face and then kick me out. I want to be financially stable before even contemplating anything of that sort.

Yet you forget the day I saved your front yard with a patch of astro-turf. SHAME!

That mentioned, I will never forget the Volcano. Never.

To them, it is worse than saying you're going to start doing meth.

I have zero respect for anyone who actually believes changing religions is worse than doing meth.

You have to understand the viewpoint though! Refusing to do so is ignorant. I guess its poor to make that correlation, but you have to understand the thought process. Most who practice Abrahamic religions believe that being a part of the religion is your salvation. Joining another religion is seen as losing your salvation. (Not necessarily to Muslims, they believe anyone who follows Abrahamic religions are saved.) Losing salvation means some form of eternal punishment. This is bad stuff in the opinions of many.

I'm just trying to say that, overall, its understandable his parents are upset.

I don't really mean to bump this old comment but what you said is severely wrong. It made me chuckle, I'll give you that.

I just looked that up, apparently I misunderstood the quote. It means something different than I took it to mean.

Ya, it made me raise an eyebrow. I'd never heard that one before.
