I am pretty much the same. Kinda laid back, somewhat prudish. Just an all around decent guy.

In real life I love guns, vote for the republicans and question Obama's health care reforms. Now I gotta go back to that other forum and check out a new babe called "Scunny", apparently she's a hot little vixen! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

   No way Terry! We're not going to believe that rubbish for one second. I think it's time that you fessed up and admitted that you're a cross dressing transvestite who hangs around roadside cafes looking for a "ride". ;D ;D ;D

   And me? In real life I'm an opinionated wise ass with little tolerance for fools or the human race in general. :o  However, I'm drawn to interesting/eccentric people which might explain why I'm here.  ;) ;D ;D

Here I'm the outgoing jovial athletic kid who can talk to anyone without fear.


In real life I'm the shy ugly fat kid who hangs out with other fat kids in hopes of being the lesser of two evils.


That and smoking a 1800's pipe doesn't hurt either.

I think Soichiro was asking a serious question, though it was simply too easy to have fun.

To the original point, I'm 5'11', 165lbs, wear glasses, was athletic in high school, blew my knees out at 38 on bicycles, so I'm still thin but losing muscle mass.

Could always write better than talk. So in person I'd be classed as shy, reserved, etc. If you get me lubed up and off the clock, we could converse seriously and happily. Otherwise, email is best.

Pseudo intellectual, but try to be modest and keep it to myself. Tolerant to a hard point. But if its not life threatening, or to a lesser extent property threatening, I'll let it be.

Hope that helps. Don't know how I come across on the forum. Its for someone else to say if there's a difference. I ams what I ams (someone else already posted Popeye?)

That sounds like me but I am FAT (+80lbs) compared to you and I do not have a bicycle.

My bicycle days are long gone. Now I just do what's convenient. Don't shy away from stairs. Keep dumbells in a few different rooms to whip off a few reps everynow and then.

I think Soichiro is mostly getting what he asked for.  Even with the humorous posts, the real you is showing through.  Take Ed for example;

Yes, I am the same. No, wait.
Maybe.

Um......
No, I'm different.



Well only sometimes. But mostly, yes.



Kinda.




I'm actually known as the hit and run, one-liner person at work. I walk in, hear 1/2 of a conversation as I'm passing through, say something totally in tune but way off crazy, and keep walking out the other door. All I hear is laughter behind me. It could be a laugh track though. It sort of sounds like the one from Gilligan's Island.  :-\

They also know I'm the one they can come to for help or to talk and I won't blab it everywhere. I get lots of hugs from my patients. I get kicked in the pants by my bosses. Life goes on.

The Austin Powers character isn't gay.  Neither is Mike Meyers, as far as I know.  Not that there's anything wrong with that!!!

Back in the early 1990's, I met Meyers' "Wayne's World" girlfriend, Tia Carrere, in the elevator at work one day.  I didn't recognize her at first, but 10 minutes afterwards I was listening to the radio station that was upstairs from my office (it was 92 KTU for you fellow New Yawkas), and they announced that they had her in the studio for an interview.  Of course, I had tried to chat her up on that elevator.  Sadly, she didn't go for it :(, but she was polite enough.  I guess 20 seconds on an elevator won't get you too far with a "movie-star".  Now, more than 15 years later, and her career basically dead, I bet she'd be THRILLED if I hit on her in the elevator again!!!

(**** Tia, if you are reading this, PM me.  I'll call you, but I don't think I'm the "relationship type".)

Now for 333's butt-smacking, daahling:

333: I "un-ignored" your comment because I figured this was a fun, good-natured thread, and "what harm could it do".  I was wrong.  Back to ignoramusville with you, buddy.

For any non-ignoramuses who actually give a damn:

I'm conservative fiscally, but certainly not socially.  I don't give a damn what anybody chooses to do with their lives, as long as they don't impose any hardship on me or my interests, or try to stop me from doing what I want to do with my life.

Cheers all

In real life I have to dumb myself down in order to fit in. I still ride a bicycle but only if it is warm and then only to starbucks for coffee and a smoke. I tend to talk to much, more so if my sugars are out of whack, I tend to tick people off with my honesty and it usually gets me in trouble mainly because most people don't really want the truth, they can't handle it as Jack would say. On line I am ten feet tall and bullet proof, ah to be young and invincible again if only in my dreams.
