I know what you guys mean though. I remember *someone* in my past used to give insincere compliments to people and flatter them just to butter them up. It drove me mad especially when watching him talk to other people and know that he would just say the thing calculated to impress or please others and go well overboard with it too.

Also difficult: the person who 1) Wont believe your compliment 2) Gets suspicious that you must want something from them. Which makes sense in some contexts such as a social situation where you dont know each other very well ie at work. But if they are a good friend and they are suspicious of you....

When I was 20, I lived in Georgia for a time. This certain kind of Georgia girl would give a compliment that was actually the opposite of what she thought, like to point out a flaw. It was very puzzling to me, figuring out wtf anyone really meant. Luckily the bourbon is good there.

Heh, sort of like when a Southerner says "Bless his/her heart", right after saying something extremely nasty about someone?

Three POINT one four. THREE POINT ONE FOUR. Three. Period/dot/point/decimal. One. Four.

Damned Europeans.

(for the record I did get your joke though)

people who say "omg it's a free choice to wear anything that covers the face/whole body" are dumbasses.

I dont like the rapid advancement of gaming technology.
I liked the old days when a controllers was a controller. None of this touchpad wave it at the screen nonsence. It also annoys me that I dont have a choice in sticking with older consoles because the games arent backwards compatible.

Hats are cool. Wearing them should be also.

^Thats me in hats.

 

[ledboots]

I hate kale.

 

[Freesia]

I look really stupid in hats, and also with sunglasses too. But in hot weather I have no choice but to wear them. I dont have a problem with either on other people but just not on me.

I found some all-black (fake) Ray-Ban sunglasses in Kuwait that looked okay on me. Fake shades aren't very durable, though.

I know, I try to like it. I don't even like the kale chips.

Same here. I wish I could pull off wearing a hat or a pair of sunglasses.

I hate kale.

That really surprises me. I thought I remember you mentioning you liked most greens. What is it about kale that doesn't appeal to you?

Glad I am not the only one! For me it is because of a few weird things ie having a small, round head with a low hairline. And because of my small head, most sunglasses look enormous on me. I have been tempted to shop at the kids section for both.

I have got quite a big head. When I did a carpentry coarse we had to wear a safety helmet, and I had to adjust the plastic straps on mine with a knife to get it to fit on my head.
I hate to see workmen with their helmets on, as my experience of them was that they keep falling off, and you have to walk around like a person balancing a book on your head....but maybe there is a way to keep them on.
