Look up and start using genderless pronouns, see how many people you offend...or plan out confuse.
In the Gutter they suggested I call you a shim. Its not exactly offensive. Its eloquent in its sheer ignorance. Anyway...does "they" count as a genderless pronoun?
Certain dogmatic self-appointed guardians of the English language will insist that "they" is improper as a genderless singular pronoun, but I hold that language is and must be organic and flexible, and that they need to get with the times. roflcopter.
I do like to lurk here and flit in and out from time to time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
If you were attracted to someone in a bar, what would be you're "chat-up line"?
I'm not really a bar person. One, I'm not nearly old enough, and two, I have an irrational fear of alcohol.
Describe one interesting fact about yourself?
I'm a classically trained singer, and I do music theatre too. Also, I like pretty much all of the social sciences to an unreasonable degree.
What do you think of the gay "scene"?
Disastrous. I'm far too bourgeois to approve of the party scene or sexual promiscuity, and I see it as politically counterproductive. Call me the gay Booker T. Washington.
If you won a million dollars tomorrow what would you do with it?
Um...save and invest it until such time as I actually know what to use it for?
Describe what you look for in a partner?
I appear to gravitate towards somewhat moody people, but I'd probably work well with someone much steadier than me. I haven't really had much experience here, since I'm tragically closeted and have a terrible penchant for latching onto hopelessly straight guys.
Tell us one thing about yourself that you're embarrassed about?
I have something of a volatile temperament, so I can go from murderously chatty to somber very quickly. Usually I'll be somber about how ridiculous I've previously been. Also, I have a terrible fear that I'm unwittingly flaming.
I try to call people by their full handles on forums to avoid using an incorrectly gendered pronoun, but I do default to "they" sometimes. It makes my inner grammar nazi squirm, but what can you do?

What people often don't realize is that there is no pure language. Every language influences the others it comes into contact with to one degree or another. I experienced this a lot when I lived in L.A.. A lot of people there speak neither English nor Spanish, but a sort of fusion called "Spanglish". The differences in how the English language are spoken are striking in different parts of America. When I moved back to Missouri from a long stay in California, people often commented on my accent, a sort of clear unemphasized mode of speech lacking in euphemisms. My father was from the Deep South. He and his entire family speak like they're giving a sermon. It's a dialect rich with such expressions "Too much sugar for a dime" and "Wide enough to sling a cat out". In my ten years back in St. Louis I've managed to go native with the language dubbed "Country Grammar" by a local rapper. It's a blend of country accent and urban dialect. It doesn't sound that different, but my first year back I actually had a really hard time understanding what people were saying. It's also interesting how words and expressions mean different things to people from different areas. Calling someone a "hoosier" here is an insult. The term actually refers to people from Indiana, and they use it to describe themselves.
Hey everyone! I just recently discovered this clan, and have definitely enjoyed the 'Hot Guy of the Week' series, and on that note - I just wanted to see if I'm the only one that's noticed how chock-full of hot guys Smallville is. Even series-regular studs like Tom Welling, Jenson Ackles, and Justin Hartley aside, I swear they just keep cranking them out... Aquaman, Grant Gabriel. The list just goes on and on! :-P

Some friends of mine came up with an acronym combing the first letters of She and He with the full work It. From pretty much anyone but them I would have been offended, but they were Bi and completely into the GLBT scene already and it was meant tongue in cheek.
@Wiccan ; I love those Goggles. And the band is yummy.
The thing I find interesting about that band is that they are about as androgenous as the entire cast of FF combined (read: pretty darn) with a dash of Tokio Hotel. That said...
I'm a straight guy, and I'd still hit it.

Hey kids! Don't like rules? Tired of having your lulz censored by terrible, terrible people called "moderators"? Big fan of metal? Check out Metaln☺☺☺☺! This is probably the worst possible forum to advertise it on!
Added bonus: we're holding a songwriting contest in march with a registry drive going on right now! Check it out, plus the opportunity to earn $50!
I wonder if Kraj will link our posts to the first page... that would be super!
Making the HGotW a regular thing is possible; either one person needs to be willing to don the mantle (highly unlikely), or we can do some sort of shift thing; on Wednesday, for example, a person posts their HG, and by Friday the next person volunteers, posts next Wednesday, etc. It could be done.
I'd hit it, with a baseball bat. I hate that band and the whole androgynous look. I rock the hell out of Monsoon on Rock Band, though. But I'm hardcore like that.

I'll do it just as soon as I sober up enough to coordinate the effort. $3 shots meant I was passed out by 1am. My pseudo-non-boyfriend's band was a semifinalist at a battle of the bands. Awesome bands, cheap booze, and I was done for. Luckily the bar was only a couple blocks from my place, makes stumbling home easy.

Yeah...as a girl, that'd be pretty hot, but as that's a guy (And the fact that I didn't know that until someone mentioned it) I'd pass. Gimme big and burly.

Rawr! Anyway, I tend to go for the androgynous look in both men and women. Also go for the feminine look in women and the uber masculine look in men. I guess I'm not really that particular:embarrass:
I'm with Ratmage on this one. Also, apparently Olympic athletes are really hot. Was that already well known?
Mostly 20-something people who spend most of their young lives working out and getting themselves into top physical condition to compete in the most prestigious amateur sporting competition in the world... gee, who knew such people could be attractive?

I've actually known quite a few people who found Olympic types unattractive. One of my straight friends is turned off by very athletic woman, preferring his gals a little softer to the touch. The deathly thin look seems to be fairly popular these days, too.
I can understand that. A lot of female Olympiads are rather bulky and (at least while compressed by sports bras) not particularly curvy. The boys, though... good gravy. Occasionally you have someone with just too much muscle (say, the lifters) but most of the time male Olympiads have perfect musculature (because in addition to being strong they have to be fast and flexible, so ballooning up to gorilla-like proportions is not an option) and hardly a ounce of fat. The swimmers, divers, gymnasts, volleyballers, runners... every one of them is just delicious.
It really makes me want Chicago to get the 2016 games so I can ***** around the Olympic village, but then I remember I'll be almost 40 by then.

I'll go with you. The creepy gay guy oodling the gymnasts will be not nearly as creepy as the creepy bi guy. The fact that I'm married will make you seem even less sleazy by comparison;)
Whoohoo! I'm there! There's something about the college jock look that they tend to be that just....purrrrrrr....
The look you're referring to is call "Young, dumb, and full of ***." And yes, it is very appealing.
Bleh! Not with me its not. Give me the choice of a chubby curvy girl and a skinny chick? Ill take the chubby chick every single time.
Agreed. There's a stick-thin girl where I work. Everyone else seems to think she's hot. I just want to offer her some fried chicken with a side of biscuits and gravy.

Why, no; no you are not.
Someone needs to do another HGotW; I did the last one, so it would be wrong for me to do the next. Wrong.
May I suggest the fellas from Dope Stars Inc?
Well....they are hot to me lol
