Stereotypes!

[JWC3]

What are the stereotypes about your type that are true in relation to you?


I'm boss at selling things. Literally. I could sell lava to Eskimos.

[717495]

I walk into doors and fence posts.

We must be the same type.

[Creepy-Cyclops]

I'm good at taking thing apart and not being able to put them back together again.

[Creepy-bg]

I like to watch tv, eat bacon cheeseburgers and lay around doing next to nothing as much as I can.

[Wynch]

I have a big penis.

[implied]

I have a big penis.

that is SO TRUE.

[Wynch]

that is SO TRUE.

Did I show you my huge penis?

[implied]

Did I show you my huge penis?

yeah, you don't remember? ):

[Creepy-bg]

can I smoke your cock Vero?

[The Exception]

Nerdy, socially awkward, unaware of my surroundings, head in the clouds, aloof, intelligent, boring

I let other people do the talking and observation, and I just edit what they say. Sometimes I just go along with what they say to see if it poses any merit. I'm also not good at paying attention, multitasking, etc. so that all translates to socially awkward. And it's not necessarily "awkward" as much as it is incomprehensible and lacking in verbally external thought.

That's a good way of putting it.

What I'm saying isn't necessarily a stereotype anyway. I'm just trying to see if anyone else agrees so that it may become one. I don't think I'm always socially incomprehensible, for instance around family, good friends, quadra members, I am known to display good humor and input unexpected jokes. I have even been known to ramble once in a while, to where I instantly shut up when given facial cues, but I usually am quite mute. Ah, enough about me.

Lazy and I don't like people.

You look extremely similar to an LII ex I once had. Interesting. Needless to say, that relationship was a total farce

To the topic at hand -- I'm the most idealistic, romantic son of a gun you'll ever meet. Writes poetry. Daydreams. Listens to 'indie'/hipster music. Likes having pseudo-philosophical conversations at night, under the stars. All that bs.

I could sell lava to Eskimos.

anyways, it seems I like to read critical '-)

FINALLY! I start this thread with the sole propose of getting some one to ask that. now *cracks knuckles* So glad you asked.

Being as witty and clever as i am, I've decided that i am indeed better than the old adage "Selling ice to Eskimos" implies and thusly I needed a new old adage. It took me a bit to come up with something that would be harder than selling ice to Eskimos, but in the end. I decided that selling Lava to Eskimos would be much harder. Here are the pro's and con's of each.

ICE-pro
Used for building materials, could actually sell an Eskimo a New house.
When melted creates water, an essential life necessity.

ICE-con
It's everywhere!

Lava-pro
Could possibly be used to build a new type of house when it solidifies (the house however would be very porous and I think be less insulated than a Igloo)

Lava-con
MELTS THEIR HOMES!
MELTS THEM
SMELLS LIKE SULFUR (Rotten Eggs)

Now looking at that list I'm sure that you have realized that selling Lava to Eskimos would be much harder. I however, could do it. And that's why i say i could sell Lava to Eskimos, because Selling Ice to them would be far to easy for some one of my caliber. *brushes dirt off his shoulder*

Ice is most difficult to sell to them. They have no shortage of that. Anyways, good luck with your new business :-)

I despise your rejection of my logic -_-

Sorry, I just saw this and I had to come play devil's advocate.

Your entire premise (and the adage itself) assumes that eskimos live in winterland all year round, which is untrue. They don't live in igloos, their snow melts every year, and they probably already buy ice for coolers, ice dispensers and such.

Now selling lava would be impressive, not so much because an eskimo is concerned about things melting, but because you would need to capture the lava first and then be able to keep it in a molten form.

Once it's a solid, you could sell that to anyone. Who doesn't want a lava rock? That shit is awesome.
