Is that why you describe yourself as a potato?

I've never put on heirs to that of what I am not. I'm here to have fun, enjoy the company, and maybe on the off chance have something meaningful to add to a conversation. If I can't do that, then I'm picking on those who I know who can take it.

[quote="THEYTOOKMYTHUMB"]For me this whole subject boils down to: “things we type on the internet, but never say in real life”.
For instance, I might say “That rig is off the HOOK!” on line…
But in real life I even laugh at myself when I say it out loud. Hey, look at the old middle-class white guy tryin’ to sound cool!
The internet is a place where your personality can speak for itself without being altered by things such as social awkwardness, physical shortcomings or moral hang-ups. You can be the “you” that you want to be even if it’s not exactly who you are in real life. That being said, there is a big difference between personality exaggerations and complete fabrications.
I’ll explain further after this short educational video. It helps to further my point…

Here is why I personally don’t exaggerate on line further than maybe some of the terminology that I use.
My point being: most members of this forum can see their way right thru bullcrap.

...You hit that one right out of the park!

BTW I just used "Beast" in another thread and
that is a term that I do use on here and real life. You'll have to pry that one from cold dead fingers.

Not to mention it reminds me of the vintage roller coaster of the same name.
