Things you will never do, because of the other people who do it

1. I will never see Donnie Darko, because every fan I've ever met is a complete ass. And the non-Tears for Fears version of Mad World sucks.
2. I will never read a Chuck Palahniuk novel, because again, his readership is terribly annoying. And Fight Club wasn't very good at all.

You?

― David Allen (David Allen), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 15:02 (twenty-two years ago)

'Fight Club' the film is good, but people over-do it. Ditto 'Darko' (though it's not a great film).

I'll never do extreme sportz.
I'll never watch or read 'LOTR'
Or 'Harry Potter'

― ENRQ (Enrique), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 15:06 (twenty-two years ago)

i didnt listen to the velvet underground for close to twenty years because of all the idolatry.
some of my fashion quirks have been thrown into the fire also.

― kephm, Tuesday, 17 February 2004 15:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I will never post to ILX, because everyone there is either a sycophant or a CalClone.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 15:10 (twenty-two years ago)

i would've considered skydiving at some point.
about 5 years ago a friend of mine got really into it and it was all he talked about. i went to his drop zone a few times and everyone there was crazy and were only capable of talking about jumping out of plains and it was very lame.

I will never like football.
Or Dido.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm with Enrique on Harry Potter.

― Madchen (Madchen), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 15:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I will never not do something based solely on any personal problems I have with the majority of it's fans/supporters, regardless of how much people who do refuse to try things because of their conceptions of said things' fans/supporters come off as assclowns.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 15:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I am never going to watch this new Mel Gibson film..

(or Harry Potter)

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 15:33 (twenty-two years ago)

There's nothing I wouldn't do for that reason. I prefer to make my own mind up.

xpost with nickalicious - OTM!

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 15:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I will never watch Braveheart as every Scot who's seen it says every Scot MUST see it. Not this one.

― Rumpy Pumpkin (rumpypumpkin), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 15:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll never watch or read 'LOTR'
Or 'Harry Potter'

Me either. The people I know who do are weird and really try to convince me to.

― Aja (aja), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 15:50 (twenty-two years ago)

have a baby

― jody (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 15:56 (twenty-two years ago)

So are you going to adopt then?

― Aja (aja), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 15:57 (twenty-two years ago)

nah

― jody (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 15:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Why not?

― Aja (aja), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I would probably not vote against the Euro because of the people who will be voting against it.

― Dave B (daveb), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:05 (twenty-two years ago)

There's nothing I wouldn't do for that reason. I prefer to make my own mind up.

yeah, and I have made my mind up not to watch certain films because they either look shite from clips or the subject matter doesn't interest me. Idiots whoop-de-whooping over them RIGHT IN MY FUCKING FACE just confirms it.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Why not?

see that marriage/kids thread from a few days ago.

― jody (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:09 (twenty-two years ago)

I mostly don't go to nightclubs because I don't like being around people.

― My Huckleberry Friend (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:19 (twenty-two years ago)

- go to crowded pubs/clubs/shops/gigs/cinemas/etc

- wear certain styles of apparel

- complain about other ppl using person-aesthetics and social-context criteria as a dimension of their understanding & evaluation of what certain activities might then mean to them, and possibly make them mean to others

― Snowy Mann (rdmanston), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:29 (twenty-two years ago)

- go on an eco-tourism trip to Costa Rica
- become a really good golfer
- wear a mid-thigh length black leather coat

― Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:33 (twenty-two years ago)

That makes me really sad because I bet [ilxor X] and [ilxor Y] would make fucking wonderful parents, which there aren't nearly enough of in this smacking-children-in-the-back-of-the-head-at-the-supermarket world.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 16:33 (twenty-two years ago)

smack nickalicious's children in the back of the head at the supermarket. (at the bowling lanes, howev...)

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 17:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Ride a moped. Learn to play golf. Perform in a jam band.

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 18:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I wouldn't not do something just because someone horrible and stupid liked it, there's something pathetic about it. Trying to hard to be cool, I guess.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 18:17 (twenty-two years ago)

You guys are major fules. All of youse. Real question is WHO CARES WHAT OTHER PEOPLE DO?

― Francis Watlington (Francis Watlington), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Lighten up, Francis.

― Sgt. Hulka (Bryan), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Learning by example is sometimes the best way.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Okay actually Sam has hit on one. Although my not ever doing intravenous drugs has less to do with hating junkies as it does to do with having a will to live.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:51 (twenty-two years ago)

for me it's not hating junkies but seeing what it has done to the people who do this. I would think anyone who has observed these users first-hand would be equally discouraged.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Tuesday, 17 February 2004 19:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Lighten up, Francis.
-- Sgt. Hulka (stripe...), February 17th, 2004.

YES, SIR!

[Do I need to include footnotes with everything I post? I was only being cheeky. Just like now.]

Go rent Stripes later today. It stars Bill Murray. You'll be glad you did (unless you've already seen it).

Fall for the ridiculous 80s retro clothing trend (do these people not see how unflattering and ugly what theyre wearing is? I hated it all the first time around and I was a DORK then - why are DORKY clothes now fashionable!?)
