Mrs.MM and I were having a laugh at the weekend with some friends of ours and she was taking the pish out of me for those silly things I do, my lil' foibles. According to her they are.....

1. I never eat the very bottom of a banana - In my defence, I was told by a friend when I was about 9 that the end of a banana, where there's a little black bit, was poisonous and I've never eaten it since.

2. At the end of a meal I've always got a little bit of each foodstuff left for one last fork-full of everything - I don't see what's wrong with that at all.

3. I have a weird thing about what socks I wear on what day - I can't defend that, it's just plain weird.

So am I a freak or not? and more's the point, what are your foibles.

yeah you are a freak all right. No fobles that I cant think off, maybe I have to open the beer bottles before I drink them

hmm...well I dont eat bananas at all simply on the grounds that they boost oestrogen production in men and stimulate male breasts to grow and I never ride a bike as I was told at an early age that improper continuous bike riding or horses can cause impotence...

hmmmmm...you don't eat bananas because you fear for your manhood..iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinteresting.


I pull the chocolate skin off my Swiss Cake Rolls and unroll them as I eat it....it's better that way.

Mech, point 2 is very valid actually. It's very good etiquette to leave food on your plate. It's a form of respect to your host (or the one who makes your food) for it means that you've had more than enough. Eating it all COULD mean you didn't have enough and that's basically an insult to your host.

Now what about those socks?

Who cares about etiquette, shuffel all the food in and end it with a loud burp! (have I read to much Calvin and Hobbes?????)

Burping is also etiquette in some countries btw

I always leave a drop of tea in my beaker
I leave a little drop of beer in my pints (not too much though)
When I say "touch wood" i touch my head
If the Wolves (my football team)win a match i try and follow the exact same events for the next match.
I never listen to albums, just one song on repeat
i always turn the radio on in the car before i start it
i have to fall too sleep with the tv on

if you needed any more evidence that i'm a freak, here it is!!!

so you havent done much of the same things then
oh that is smart if your battery is running low

I turn the car on, and wait five minutes before I put it in drive. People waiting to get my parking spot get really pissed

Every time I go into a bathroom, I put the toilet seat up, even if I don't go pee.

Good thing you put the lid up before you got to pee though

queeq, I think you mis-understood point no.2, I don't leave the little bit of food on the plate. I leave a little bit of everything so that my last mouthfull has a bit of everything. Now the socks thing may sound weird but theres a logic there...

Monday - Cartoon socks (Simpsons)

Tuesday - Grey warm socks cus I go to college on Tuesdays and I don't want silly socks on but I need warm ones as college is
usually freezing

Wednesday - Cartoon sock (South Park ones if possible)

Thursday - Grey warm cus college again

Friday - Thin black ones cus errrrr, I dunno I just do.

Weekend - Best socks opportunity so it's either Hugo Boss or CK's

FRRRRRRRRRRRRREAAAK.

What the hells happened to my sig? Oh no, a computer related problem and no RC about - I'm doomed for sure.

You need some help Mech

I am fully aware, see "Drowning in my own ignorance" for conformation though if you please.

I was talking about hte sock thing of yours

Oh that!

I don't see anything wrong with it myself, but leaving a bit of tea left gets me angry, Mrs.MM is the same. She always leaves about 5mm of tea/coffee left every time (thats 0.196" for you Americans).

You have some weird hangups man..

I just hope he puts those socks on his feet and doesn't use them for an unmentionable purpose!

Tex! That's sick!

My Foibles:

1. Always have to have it quiet when I draw or read.
2. Only listen to 1 song on a 10 song CD.
3. After playing a few minutes on Gamecube, I forget how to use the N64 controller.
4. I have the largest appetite in my family.

What games you got on Gamecube?

Having the largest appetite isn't a foible Rex, it's just plain greedy!

Hmm I really am not sure what my foibles are. I don't really notice them although I am sure I have them. Perhaos you should ask Ush. He is far more likely to notice them than I am.

I do know that when I am eating jaffa cakes, i leave the jelly/jello bit till last. I nibble around the edge then peel off the cake and suck the chocolate off before eating the jelly. Odd I know!

Making a meal of a Jaffa cake, now I've heard it all!

I didn't know I had any until Mrs.MM tore into me, I thought I was practically purrrrrfect in every way.

not odd, it's the only way to eat jaffa cakes!

Woo hoo I'm not a freak! I'm not a freak. Well until Ush comes online and starts telling you about all the other weird things i never even realised I did!

already looking forward to it!

I eat most of the crust on my pizza first, except the little bit to hold onto. Then I eat the good part.

And no, it's not stuffed crust, either.

what about fork and a knife

I use a fork and a knive quite often, too. That seems to make people mad. Why, I don't know.

Pris..

I'm not greedy!


Another foible I have is whenever I eat a candy like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, I eat of the chocolate coating and then nibble on the insides. I do this with Reese's PB Cups, Snickers, Butterfingers, Three Musketeers, etc.

When I eat M&M's I always keep it in my mouth until the candy coating is gone, then eat the chocolate.

Ush is being mean! He won't post about my foibles. In fact he said there was nothin ginteresting to put. I'm confused! Does this mean I am not interesting or that I am just so average that I do not even have any foibles?

You got the hots for Ush, I guess that's your foible

My avatar wants to give you a kiss Mr. Rex!

OH GOD NO!!!

I know one of your foibles Tex: making disturbing pictures of Bjork your avatar.

That's not a foible!
It's a gift that I graciously bestow upon the board!

I think its a disease, like AIDS

Aids is like an itch compared to the Bjork disease

Too bad we don't have a condom that protects agains Bjork.

We do but it is called a hazard suit.

Oh you are so bad

OKay rolly eye man..do better.

I must listen to music when I walk to work, so I always have a shitload of batteries for my discman at home and they are all perfectly stacked. Equal numbers in each row and when I used 4 I have to buy a new packet of batteries to get those perfectly equal numbered rows again.

That's very...male. In my expeience you guys always have strange "multiple" habits.

espesially when it comes to girls

Lets not bring blowup dolls into this..

well Tex isnt around so that wont be a problem

That's right..always divert it from you

well he is the blow (up doll) king

Poor Tex..unable to defend himself for slander.... He's just a nice boy from the Bible Belt after all.

he is a redneck allright, and king of the inflatables and Bjork phsyco club

Speaking from your Arkansas experience again I see

Too many southerners here.

Finti, you always seem to turn every thread into a Tex-bash-athon, maybe thats your foible?

That could be..

Sex in Arkansas is a big no no before marriage. ...as I cared

Yeah we know how it goes down there..


Okay..so how many of your girlfriends were sisters?

"keepin it in the family" - a norwegian tale of family life.

actually I only dated two sisters there, and Inbreeding is an English thing.

I was only joking...little scared now!

An English thing!?!?!?

I can assure you that none of my family can play the banjo.

nor can any Norwegians

I don't think banjo playing and interbreeding are directly related..

Only when you've traveling by canoe with Burt Reynolds.

Foibles ? Hmmmm.....don't know about that M&M thing...how the hell can you wait that long ? Those suckers just go right down the hatch. I have eaten the coating off a 3Musketeers before but it is quick a sticky process. When I'm down to the last bite of a banana, I pull it out of the peel and look at it before I eat it just in case it has any sneaky spots on the bottom or its just too mushy to eat. As far as beverages, I usually finish them all and since we buy pulp-free orange juice, I don't have to worry about that last sip being full of stringy stuff. Bleck !

nah orange juice need the meat/ pulp stuff in it

No thanks. I'll chew my bagel, not my juice.

That is real orange juice though

Well then I'm Mrs. Anti-Pulp !

*marches around carrying big sign: NO PULP ! STOP PULP ! *

and the Brit band doesnt know why

*waits patiently for riot police to show up*

I have my orange all ready here to throw at them too.

ads a sign NO MORE PULPIT`S

Well then Ush can just stand on a box.

never knew he was a preacher

*positions herself to kick the soapbox out from under Ush*

First it is To and now Ush. I think i'll keep a low profile or they'll be after me next.

*puts Orpheus on the list*

How do you mean?

As for foibles, I'm not sure I have any. I always put things like always going back to check the door is locked 3 times before I leave in the morning down to paranoia (Of what I'm not sure, or is it that I keep forgetting if i'd locked it)

Now where was I.......

List? What list?

*waves hand in front of Orphs face*
There is no list,
move alone

Move alone? I'm not with anyone.

the mindtrick worked!

ok, let's give it another try
*waves hand in front of Orph's face*
you won't need your money anymore, give it to me*

You're not having my money!!

I'll report you to the Jedi Council for abuse of Jedi powers.
Thieving basket.

you do that, I'm a renegade, I can do what I want

Renagade. You're still not having my money!

please please please please pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?

*Slaps a fifty in Yerssot's hand*

Go knock yourself.

Orph, the list he keeps of people to kill. Don't worry, he can never do worse than tickle you to death.

boy, are you giving it all away
Consider yourself on the tickle list!

Oooh Tickles!! C

Yeah! I'm going to get tickled!!!

Well, I hope you and yers have loads of fun

laughing huh?
well, you are on the list now too!

death by tickle...horrible way to die

have no fear, I wont tickle you

why thank you. i just feel bad for those who WILL be tickled. but...what can i do?

hmmm... tickle them too?

hmmm...double trouble. i like. but i cant. i have a very busy schedule, no time for tickling. sorry

are you sure?
It's fun!
see:
*starts to tickle mah*
He can't help it, he has to laugh

oooh!...so tempting! im sure yers! dont pull me to the dark side!

It's unavoidable, tickling others is your destiny

well, i cant being that i am not allowed to listen to you.

you don't take ORDERS from me, not simple comments about your future

true, true. but cant i control my future, or am i going to HAVE to be a tickler, oh yerssot the fortune teller?

You're going to be one...
you can't change it, just like you can't change the suns from setting...

thats deep. personally i find it dull to know my future.

(what college do i go to to study the art of tickling?)

deep? yeah, quoting SW finally pays off!

you don't go to a special college, you just take lessons with me, only 500$!

ONLY. well i guess i cant follow my destiny if i dont got the cash! how do you explain that?

errr... the first lessons are free?

so how am i to pay for the second and third...or however many there are? ill have used up 1000 dollars just for the next two. i dont even have that much now!

(maybe ill be a bartender. hmmm...LE's bar)

Lee's bar, with martial artists giving lessons there...

Ok, 50$

thats a little more like it.

yeah! I like the idea of the bar... will you be serving alcohol to minors?

yep. err...its a... minor bar!

which means it is a small bar

for small aged people. sure.

so finti won't get in... very good!
tell me when your bar will open

well how old r u?

older then you...

Yers is 16 years old...( 8 years mentally)

well no duh almost everyone here is. lets say my bar ages are... 10-19.5. good?

finti, I don't have to take such grandeur!
You know very well that I'm already 4, mentally

well then you may mentally come to my bar! i have now lowered the entrance age to 3.594

really? cool!

Do you have blue milk?

its green and only comes w/ gin

ok ok, fine already, give that... but I'm NOT paying!

then ya dont get it. boos is expensive! i can take 30% off for you but thats as low as it gets!

You know what? I'll be bartender, then you can pay me with drinks

always thinkin. but wait if you were the bartender and i was making you drinks you would be doing nothing. so you could be the bartender and make the drinks cause im willin to pay

Okay..this one is done I think
