omg I was on there, had a 7.2 rating. some awful looking kid in my class tied elastics around his arm for the appearance of muscle mass and took a photo of just his head and then his one stupid elastic-heroin-ready arm and got a 9.2. Forever jealous.

When Rocketmen does it, it's funny. When a 16 year old does it, it's ignorant. Joking aside, I have talked to Rocketmen privately many times (usually about "sand in your vagina" comments). Childish finger-pointing aside, though, the above comment is sexist. I've made a quick, non-exclusive "User's Guide" to find out if something is sexist before you post it. Here ya go: 1) Is it only an insult to one sex but not the other? (Calling a man a woman is an insult, calling a woman a woman is not) 2) Is it using something sex-based in a derogatory manner? (calling someone a pussy, for example, equates female sex organs with weakness) 3) Is it something you would hesitate to say to a member of one sex over another? ( 4) Does it undermine someone's sex-based experiences? (This is applicable here. You are equating someone's personal attitude, beliefs, or moodiness with an involuntary biological function) 5) Are you denormalizing a typical experience? (such as making it sound like being on one's period is an abnormal and chosen act, such as being a jerk) The comment does several of these, and is thus sexist. Saying Byron is on his period also relieves him of some responsibility for his comments. He is not having involuntary bio-chemical reactions affecting his mood, he just doesn't like you/the comment/whatever. There is a difference. Omg there was no point of this like jeez.

So instead of sharing a fun story, you have to instead brag about your ego. Good stuff, child. Good stuff.

I won Catching Fire in a draw. It was free. I like free things.

I've met lots of famous people. Meeting famous people is overrated. Depends on the famous person and what you talk about, but I somewhat agree. NEARLY ALL THE FAMOUS FOLKS I've met were pretty cool, all but Chris Jericho, and I still like the guy anyways. lol The ignorance he displayed when we met wasn't directed towards me, it was just stupid. He said to my buddy: "Can you move your kid? I wanna sit down." even though there were 3 empty seats he could have pulled up for behind him. lol ...assclown.

The thing with famous people is...they are just people. I have met average people far more interesting than famous people, and vice versa.

That Chris Jericho thing just sounds like something he would find amusing and is a dick on purpose.
