Do you own anything that automatically renders you PHYSICALLY REPELLENT to certain people?

At university, people used to come into my room, see that I had "Kids" on video, and quietly leave, keeping a close eye on me as they did. As if that automatically qualified me for the paedophile register. Does owning lunchmeat make me a MURDERER?

yes it does

i got called a fascist by a fellow student for owning a copy of "sakharov speaks" (year = 1980 probably)

― mark s (mark s), Thursday, 12 December 2002 17:03 (twenty-two years ago)

What if I told you it was a pirate copy of "Kids"? then I suppose you'd tell me I was indirectly funding drug-dealing and terrorism!

I think it's beautifully shot/acted! So shoot me!!!

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Thursday, 12 December 2002 17:04 (twenty-two years ago)

i have alot of books on ww2; one of which is abook - "how hitler could've won the war". people who don't know me too well that see it tend to think i'm a nazi.

What do you think most people do when I pull out "Meet The Feebles"?

― brg30 (brg30), Thursday, 12 December 2002 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Wonder what the hell it is because they've never heard of it, I'm guessing.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 December 2002 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

based on reactions of some IRL and ILXor, my Frank Zappa recordings apparently qualifies me for "non-human" status.

― Tad (llamasfur), Thursday, 12 December 2002 17:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I own a fur neckpiece, and therefore undoubtedly am regarded as a selfish, savage bitch by certain portions of society.

― j.lu (j.lu), Thursday, 12 December 2002 17:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm good at deceiving people for a short time, but once they come into my home and see my vast collection of Robert Jordan and other assorted sci-fi/fantasy novels (in hardback no less), they instantly see through my ruse and rekkignize me as the total fucking NERD that I am.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 12 December 2002 17:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Nerd power, nick. I'm rereading the RJ series right now.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 12 December 2002 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sure if you all came to my house and saw my copy of Barenaked Ladies "Gordon" in my cd collection I would be.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Thursday, 12 December 2002 18:17 (twenty-two years ago)

does my personality count?

― kate, Thursday, 12 December 2002 18:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Sometimes I dig back into it before each new book comes out just to get caught back up (I mean, like, 9 friggin' books now!??).

I have this sneaking suspicion RJ isn't planning on actually finishing the series, but rather intends to die before the series is finished, thus cementing his legacy in the archives of dork-dom forevah.

I wish I could just stop, but I'm more attached to some of those characters than many REAL PEOPLE. That's scary.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 12 December 2002 18:19 (twenty-two years ago)

10 books, Nickalicious. I've got 'em all too. And you don't want to know about how much Tolkien stuff I've got. ;-)

My favorite Donkey Kong t-shirt renders me physically repellent to my wife...

I'm not letting anyone see my record collection, oh no.

I was over at a girl's house to study once whose (male) roommate had TWO copies of Kids.

"how hitler could've won the war".

How could he? Seriously, I want to know.

― , Thursday, 12 December 2002 20:08 (twenty-two years ago)

by delegating all military decisions to actual army guys? he really overrated his own "strategic genius", ol' Adolf did.

― unknown or illegal user (doorag), Thursday, 12 December 2002 20:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, let's see..
* The two kitties (as some people are allergic, they really are physically repelled by them/ also some people simply hate little animals but those people aren't allowed in my house...)
* In college, I had a Bjork Debut poster in my dorm room that gave people disgusted faces ("What is that? A clown?")
* I think my current massive cd collection of female fronted rock bands could probably scare someone away
* umm... girlie romantic comedy books on the shelf. Not very intellectual.

Hitler winning: not attacking Russia, at least at that time?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 12 December 2002 20:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Hitler could have won if he'd gotten the center square instead of trying to capture the top row.

Ned, there are only 9 books in the Wheel of Time series out; _Crossroads of Twilight_ hasn't been published yet.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 12 December 2002 21:14 (twenty-two years ago)

If Ned has xroads he must photocopy it and share with the rest of us nerds.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 12 December 2002 21:17 (twenty-two years ago)

My mother asked me if I thought my Hello Kitty shower curtain would scare off men.

― rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 12 December 2002 21:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Hm, I trust your judgment, Dan, I could have sworn he was at ten now! The SFBC has just offered the newest book in the series, so it's about to be published. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 December 2002 21:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually it is 672 pages only and I just read the Amazon summary and it sounds so awesome! I'm sorry, I should just go start a thread on this.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 12 December 2002 21:22 (twenty-two years ago)

It's out in January and that's the last thing I'll say on this thread I promise.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 12 December 2002 21:26 (twenty-two years ago)

haha I had the Kids BOOK and was confronted by my stepmom about why on earth I bought a book full of half-naked kids doing drugs. I still don't have an answer to that I guess.

― Aaron A., Thursday, 12 December 2002 21:42 (twenty-two years ago)

i have the entire robert jordan "wheel of time" series in my book shelf. it repelled everyone except the non-repellable menelaus darcy.

I got rid of the free Peter Sotos 'novels' I was given 'cos they were creeping ME out, never mind any 'houseguests'.

I still like bks abt serial killers tho: I know it's the lamest kind of 'freaking the straights' reading matter, and just a bit antisocially odd to boot, but what can you do, "I'm interested in the subject matter".

I've got a stack about two inches thick of xeroxed copies of Charles Manson's prison correspondance to his "family" members.

― Dave Fischer, Friday, 13 December 2002 01:31 (twenty-two years ago)

D - by some coincidence lately I keep happening across instances of English Lords trying to convince the government to concede to Hitler, writing to him, etc. So he should've networked more with the English aristocracy.

― Sir (maryann), Friday, 13 December 2002 01:54 (twenty-two years ago)

the author of the book felt that if hitler had
1. continued the strategic bombing of the uk and not onto bombing towns and urban areas
2. maintained his alliance with russia
3. diverted more resources to rommel in africa, thus taking egypt
4. from egypt gone onto controlling the mid east oil fields
5. this would've forced not only turkey to ally itself with germany, but at that point the england would've had no choice but to concede

I've got a human finger bone in my wardrobe somewhere. It was great for keeping my mentalist ex-flatmate from searching through my stuff; she stayed well away at the thought of accidentally finding skeletal bits.

i have a bottle of patchouli! i have abandoned ever having it on my person, as i have discovered that approximately ALL humans hate the smell of it except for me

yeah, i used to have a charles manson collage made of xeroxed pages from helter skelter. that wasn't universally charming, as i recall

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I slept with a girl who kept a ginormous sharp kitchen knife at the side of the bed. I didn't find out until the following morning, but safe to say that was pretty fucking repellent.

Strap ons/dildos/etc kind of terrify me, I was talking to another ILXor about this last night (after he showed me this horrifying fake vagina thing that looked like some kind of horrible penis guillotine!!).

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 19 November 2003 16:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I never ever EVARR want to see the words "penis" and "guillotine" so close together!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 16:20 (twenty-one years ago)

as opposed to real vagina things which "don't" look like horrible penis guillotines?

You don't know what a vagina looks like? How do you put yer tampons in?

― Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

You know, I totally missed the fact that Horace's post changed my word "fake" for his word "real". Dude, you have got SERIOUS FUCKING ISSUES.

That being said--Kate I don't stare at my own vagina, I mean do you use a mirror to put in tampons??

No, I don't put tampons in coz I hate them, but there's diagrammes of vaginas in the instructions! At least there were when I was about 10 and giggling over the horror of tampons in middle school!

― Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 16:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I was just joking of course. I'm totally cool with Lady Parts. I even saw the Vagina Monologues and didn't wince once.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 16:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I had a poster on my wall as a freshmen in college of "HALLOWEEN: THE NIGHT HE CAME HOME". It basically looked like this....

http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B0000CGCSY.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

As ridiculous as it seems, it put a surprisingly significant amount of people off (which, of course, made me like it all the more). Hard to believe the mere espousal of a pretty middle-of-the-road film would do that.

Bbbut Ally, mine are so pretty! They're girly colors and are glittery and don't even look like penises!

Not to thread-jack but . .Lately I've been using those Instead cups instead (har) of tampons. I'm digging them. But they are this huge pouchy, plastic disk. I imagine a lot of ladies wouldn't be comfortable sticking that in.

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 16:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Am I to understand that PP uses a Ronan Keating CD to put in tampons?? And that smee now thinks that's OK because it was given to her by an idiot?

― N. (nickdastoor), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 17:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha I have all sorts of Christmas shit. Christmas plates and fancy napkins and ornaments and decorations and blah blah blah and quite frankly it's repellent to myself when I think about it.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 19 November 2003 17:24 (twenty-one years ago)

hahahah Ally has fancy napkins!

"Oh dearest, shall we use the fancy napkins to-night?"
"Yes, Let us!"

however, fancy napkins are saved if you use them to clean up nacho cheese.

― Jeremy the Kingfish (Kingfish), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 17:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I got an entire closet of Xmas decorations, Clark Griswold I am. We even own Christmas China and Christmas everyday plates. Yep, I am married.

Ronan Keating isn't short in real life! I see him often enough and I can assure you he is average height. He wears hats alot and drives a Porsche sometimes.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 19 November 2003 17:34 (twenty-one years ago)

the combination of PowerBook, iPod and VW Bug makes me pretty repellent to myself. When I went down to the Apple Store in SoHo last week I was frankly horrified to see how well it fit in with the surrounding boutiques et al. I don't know why I was expecting any different but frankly none of this shit goes with my leather jacket at all. Ugh. Neither does my record collection. God. I'm disgusting.
