Which GNET member would you masturbate to?
 

Hmmmmmmmm.

So I'm supposed to pretend there's a gun to my head and I'm forced to choose, right?

Myself. I can have sex with as many people as I want, but I'll only ever make love when I masturbate.

You seem so jaded JCC.

Amen to that.

It's cool to be world-weary in junior high.

Then again, I remember middle school, it fucking sucked.

Junior high students generally haven't seen enough of the world to be weary of it. If by some chance they have, and they're already jaded, by the time that they're 20 they're going to be so beaten down that no one will want to deal with them. Have fun with that.

The other option, affected cynicism, is pretty lame.

Cynicism is no more or less than a disregard for sentimentality, and mistrust of the generally accepted versions of things. All else depends upon the individual in question.

I stand by my statement. Pretending to be cynical or world-weary, for whatever reason, is lame.

Look, Pinstripes, just because you have an awesome avatar doesn't mean I don't completely agree with you.

uhh, no it's not.

Cynical attitudes are cool when you're a young adult going through puberty. There's a bunch of chemicals running through your body, wreaking havok with your emotions. This leads to the mistaken belief that the entire world exists to fuck with you. When you actually grow up a bit you realize how silly and ego-centric such ideas are.

JCC's smart. He'll figure it out in a couple of years.

Sure. I was just responding to the idea that cynical teenagers WILL be alone by the time they hit 20 because they must, by necessity, be deeply embittered and at the beginning of a decline into becoming utterly tedious people.

Oh, come on, they're basically different words communicating the same idea. Don't make me run with dictionary.com's example and break it down.

Ahhh, righto. My mistake. Apologies!

I don't not agree with me too! Double negatives are grrrreat!

Also, your avatar is pretty cool as well. Yarrr!

Where's the cynicism in me saying I'm good?

I may become smarter with age, however it heartens me that Despanan is so far down the ladder at his age that I could take up rolling in pig shit as a hobby and still piss on him from a great height.

Feel free to post breasts at will now, genius.

You don't mean that, JCC. Don't let those hormones control you - I KNOW there's a cute kid who just wants his mommy to hold him inside that hard exterior.

FIGHT the hormones

There's no hope for him Apathy. In 3 of the 5 boards I've joined the alpha-troll used a joker avatar. (Of the other 2 one used a ICP clown and the other used a cartoon of a bulls ass.) Draw your own conclusions.

What are you saying, Man in Room 5, that buying into the Joker's vision of anarchy is... mainstream?

Well, clutch the pearls, Ethel... well, I never!!

OK, you can come to the bar with me and Apathy, but you have to buy the next round.

No! [pounds on your chest] Just because he has the avatar, doesn't mean he has to be a troll! He can fight the cynicism!! [dissolves into tears]

I'll buy the next round. Just don't ask for absinthe and pretend to be drunk after one sip. I hate that.

Yeah right....to the other guys post not you^^

Huh? I thought I changed my avatar to the Beatles one.

Hang on.

Absinthe is for pussies. Let's go old school and rotgut it

Maybe you did. I'm sure you look better than at least 2 of them right now.

Absinthe and rotgut both taste like shit. At least the latter is cheap.

Fucking finally. I hated that Joker avatar.

Concurred.

JCC is lightyears ahead of the likes of you, Dustpan.

It has a better history as well... what with Frank the Body Snatcher and all. Damned college Resurrectionists.

Rimbaud drank absinthe.

Absinthe > all.

spoken like a true fan boy. negating your own experience to the preferences of others

Absinthe is quite nice, but I really prefer Jägermeister.

Jägermeister is like hell in my mouth.

I'll just stick to Tennants.

Jäger shots with Newcastle chasers.

Screech is my vile-tasting drink of choice. It's as close as I can get to consuming paint supplies without seriously poisoning myself.
But then again, I've never tried absinthe or rotgut, and I don't really remember what Jäger tastes like...

Generally speaking I don't really do cheap drinks, for the most part I'm a top shelf kind of girl, though I do think Ice 101 is rather yummy and it seems work pretty damn quick

I don't know much about alcohol and I don't drink often, but a glass or two of straight Wild Turkey keeps me happy.

I wouldn't masturbate to Kontan but I want him up my butt.

I guess you're so individual that your entire superego is shaped by your own musings, then?

Spoken like a true 'alternative' loser.

So, you have had absinthe, then? Or are you basing your preference on a his?

What's with all of the high-alcohol poison? Do you guys actually savor your drinks or do you only care about getting trashed?

It's the Christmas season here in the states. So, it is about making this month as blurry as possible so that the annoyance is abated.

After the first of the year, when people look at their holiday-debt and still-dysfunctional families that said debt did not fix... then, I can savor something.

Of course I savor them. I savor the ones that I enjoy, because they're usually expensive. If I want to get hammered I'll get supermarket vodka or bordeaux.

Eww! Sounds like hangover city to me.

I haven't got a preference, I haven't tried either. I was making a joke before Christabel decided to show how like, totally weird she is!

Don't. Absinthe is terrible. It stinks of black licorice, and tastes even worse. Don't believe the shitty hype about Wormwood, either. If you want to hallucinate, go spend a few bucks on a tab of acid, or even some Salvia. It'll work much better.

I like absinthe cause it doesn't really get you incredibly drunk as much as it gets you a mental high. It's like liquid THC. I learned to enjoy it's flavor shortly after my first glass. The hallucinations are over rated though. You only really see tracers or lights look strange. Brighter colors. That sort of thing. If you drink it, you drink it for the unique buzz it gives you from being fermented in herbs instead of fruits or vegetables like most hard liquors.

Also, most people tend to try drinking absinthe straight. This isn't the proper way to do it. The preparations of combining it with sugar and cold water release certain chemical changes that bring out the elements it is known for. I get a feeling most negative reviews here come from people drinking it straight from the bottle.

Don't drink, never have and probably never will.
I don't understand the attraction of it, unless it's with a meal.

I'm well aware of the proper way to drink it, but I still don't like the stuff. It tastes like hell, and, as you pointed out, requires some preparation to drink properly. The object, for me, is to get intoxicated. If I want to get drunk, I'll drink whiskey; if I want to trip, I'll take some hallucinogens. Everything is just much simpler that way. The effect of absinthe isn't worth the effort, nor, in my mind, is the aura of "cool" that one supposedly gets simply by dint of having the stuff.

I find that most people raving about absinthe are more concerned with the "prestige" that, in certain circles, is ostensibly bestowed on a person just for drinking it.

Edit: Nice signature, by the way, EtS. I dig.

It tastes good.
