You're just like me.

I mean it.
Bands, movies, televison, many of the books.

Heeeyyy, brotha!

Tell Me How I Did

You are:

- Old
- A fan of paper grocery bags
- Wandering, insecure
- A raging liberal
- Not funny in conversation
- Wanting to be back in college
- Scratching your left arm
- "Losing Your Religion"
- Wanting to commit the perfect crime

You're the opposite of me...

[The Emperor Fabulous]

Well...

Your father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. Your mother was a 15 year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. Your father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims, like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy - the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Your childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring, you'd make meat helmets. When you were insolent, you were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds.

Yeah, I think I've got ya

[SlowwHand]

I guess Guynemer is off killing himself over the prospects of being similar to me.



And Wiglaf sighting!

I'm no psychologist, but it seems to me you have an absolutely appalling taste in music (The Who excepted) and an excellent taste in books and films, BTW you missed the 's' off the end of Aliens.

[SlowwHand]

red, you got no taste. Don't even be talking.

Whatever you say Slow, I don't be messin' wit you no more since I found out you decked Sugar Ray

[Immortal Wombat]

You know I was going through and building up a profile of a violence-lovin' straight-talkin' arsehole. This just clinched it:

No offense.

[monolith94]

Well, you're irreverent, I can tell that right off.

[Q Classic]

you're needy and want validation from an anonymous committee by subjecting yourself to their pseudo-intellecutal whims.

[Guynemer]

That's a little too close for comfort, Q.

The scary thing is that this is probably the most perceptive, intelligent, spot-on thing I've ever seen Wiggy write. Apart from being "old"... and I have my moments in conversation.
