Texas is not going broke, we have electricity, we have had no rain all year and we are not on fire. Cali is broke and on fire half the year every year.

Yeah, you’re right.

Texas for the win again.

Haters always hate the king of the hill. Get it? The TV cartoon based in Texas?

TexAss is in fine financial shape cause they have ALL OF CALI’S MONEY - and stole it all during the Enron scandal.

but, our bad, we thought that ya’all were just giving us a helpin hand.

we let our state burn, cause forest fire is a natural event, and who are we to step on mother natures toes?

AND - you didn’t dispute the fact that we are the land of fruits and nuts…

I left out the part where we are broke, and our credit rating is shit, but apparently the governor found enough money to pay for the college education for illegal immigrants.

yep - I did say illegal. that should tip someone off that it would be wrong…like harboring fugitives?

amirite?

We sure did Billy the Kid you sons-of-bitches didn’t we?

And I like the nature hippie reference.

As a side note, I’m beginning to understand memes in general. They sure do allow for a reader to gauge tone. Let me try it…

Amidoingitrite?

Thanks DJ, I’ll keep that in mind. :slight_smile: I don’t really see myself ever ending up in Cali (too damn expensive!) or Texas (too damn… Texas-y! lol) but you can never say never.

By the way, I know this is a humor site but I figured this little article was extremely applicable to the original topic of this thread:

This thread has gotten so unbelievably retarded. First, why does playing video games have to be mutually exclusive to any ‘manly’(…) behavior. Secondly, when your rebuttal to that is ‘you play games 12 hours a day because you’re a WoW fag who loves elves and fairies, fag’, then we’ll move on to this fun part:

go to bar->alcoholic.

call women->seems cool on the surface, all you do is call bitches. Extrapolated to the same silliness that everyone does to gaming though, your entire life revolves around sex to the point that you have no job or life aside from hoping bitches pity fuck your broke ass.

play pool->maybe you become professional at it, HEY WAIT PRO GAMERS MAKE MORE THAN YOU DO ROFLROFLROFLROFL(and pretty soon they’ll get more TV time to, MLG on ESPN is something that will happen within the next 5 years guaranteed).

Make a potato gun. Shoot it at things you shouldn’t->why is this manly or more worthwhile than gaming? I guess building a potato gun is cool, apparently being an asshole who shoots ‘things you shouldn’t(other peoples’ property? other people?) makes you successful at life though

ride a bike->sweet you now ride bikes long distances and have that sweet sweet body to show for it, oh wait you probably look anemic.

sit on a roof and smoke pot->really? do I really have to break this one down?

Call friends->see ‘call women’ I’m sure your friends will love that you depend on them for everything in life and don’t actually have one of your own

Post on T-Nation between activities->really?

Find a river/creek/stream and catch some catfish->really?

Fillet and fry them. Have friends over to eat them and booze->yay more alcohol, MANLINESS.

Pick a fight for fun at the bar during the pool game->YAY PICKING FIGHTS FOR LITERALLY NO REASON, REAL MAN

Hassle the bouncer->REAL MAN

Play an instrument->homeless guy in the subway with cup in front of you for donations

See how far you can hit golf balls with a baseball bat->this is getting so old

Tie fishing string between two beer cans (around the tabs) set them up across the street. When a car drives over the string, you lift one and a friend another. Laugh really hard as it gets tangled in the axle and the car drags cans down the road.

Penny tap some ladies. (tie a penny to a bandaid with more fishing string. Stick other side to window at night. Run string to car through cracked window. Pull string, making penny tap window, freaking girls out. Cut string and drive when busted.)

Buy pumpkins and throw them off of a building->that would get prohibitively expensive

Find a bar with live music, go listen even if mediocre and socialize->become professional hipster

I got tired of putting effort into it like halfway down, but apparently being a man is drinking, being a pest, starting fights, being a pest some more, occasionally doing some physical activity, and bragging to your friends about how much of an asshole you were/are.

But he’s apparently rich or something, so that makes him right![/quote]had a long point by point but basically you’re a wankster proving my point, realize it or not.
[/quote]

All I did was apply your logic(al fallacy) to your list of manly and superior activities. As of this point of the thread the only thing you know is that I am arguing that a ton of things are dumb as fuck if they completely take over your life, I have committed nothing else to this thread.

In the interest of fairness, I skipped over a decent portion of the middle of this thread, and may be misattributing some statements of thunderbolts to you, as you were a clear detractor in the early going and happened to provide the above list.

Wankster is a very manly word.

I snuck a pic of SSC on his FB site.

a new study by The New England Journal of Medicine claims that Vid games lead to smoking and devil worshipping.

As long as they can still throw a real football and grab a pair of boobs who cares what they worship.

You don’t throw a football unless it’s a sidethrow or you’re the goalkeeper though.

Yeah but the other shit sucks right now.

Plus it doesn’t have to be read…

The Oxford Times-Gazette has done a study that links the playing of vid games to epstein/barr disease.
