You can't deny who you are. You try, but deep down, you know that you're not fooling anyone. You just can't get enough. You tell yourself that it's just a way to kill time or to procrastinate when you should be studying. You pretend to be humble, but you secretly love it when people praise you. You just can't get enough.

That's right. You live for attention.

You know who you are.

You. Yes, you, Pat Poyfair.

I won't say it. I'll be nice. *almost explodes*

don't worry, dear, we're all thinking it.

If are going to start a list of attention whores, Ralphie and Jon Boy should be near the top.
 
Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :
 
Don't I give you enough attention, dear?

And since when should Pat be studying?

Near?

The order I see it is:

1. Pat and Ralphie (tie)
3. Jon Boy

I hate to say it--really--but I think it's more like:

1) Ralphie
2) Jon Boy
3) Pat

What about the post-whore thread?
 
Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :
 
We need one of those.
 
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
 
Wait - am I higher on the list than Jon Boy because I'm better at it?

Because have SEEN some of his posts? Whoa mama jama.

T_Smith would top the post whore list. [Wink]

You folks are just lucky that Hobbes has been saving it all for GreNME and Sakeriver.

112 posts in 3 days...

(And with that, I disappear for a while to the land of cheating landmark avoiders.)
 
Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :
 
Keep in mind, though: neither Pat nor Ralphie has registered the sn "Shameless Self-Promotion." I rest my case. [Smile]
 
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
 
I can't argue with that logic, DD.
 
Posted by Zan (Member # 4888) on :
 
Maybe they're just subtle attention whores.

No, I guess "subtle" is not an accurate term for Ralphie.
 
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
 
Then what is an accurate term?

("Good word," "accurate term." Whatever.)

I have no idea what any of you are talking about.
 
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
 
RRR - Don't forget "bearded."

Zan has now turned this into a truly quality thread. Thank you, Zan.
 
Posted by Zan (Member # 4888) on :
 
And don't forget "modest".

[Hat]

You must be slipping people money under the table. I will have to investigate.
And, my bad, bearded window.
But nothing beats Laika the Russian bitch. NOTHING.

"Heya window, wanna kill all humans?"

Modesty is knowing ones limitations, Zan. I see no need to argue anything in your previous post.

Ralphie-san wa kenkyo dewa arimasen. Sukoshi omoiagatta desu. [Big Grin]

Stop saying vaguely insulting things about Ralphie in a language she doesn't understand!
 
Posted by Rappin' Ronnie Reagan (Member # 5626) on :
 
Watashi mo nihongo ga wakarimasen. So it's okay. Ralphie-san wa monosugoi desu. There's nothing wrong with that one.

I just always assume things said about me in a foreign language are all intensely flattering.

Hmmm... since Ralphie has no limitations, I guess the term "modest" doesn't apply.
 
Posted by Rappin' Ronnie Reagan (Member # 5626) on :
 
Hence my first Japanese post.
edit: Are you going to play Trivial Pursuit tonight, Ralphie?

While we're talking about foreign languages, or at least, while I am I wanted to share a story.
Today in Japanese I was trying to come up with how to say "just a minute" in Japanese, and I came up with "ein minuto." Just a tad surreal. Saying a combination of German and Spanish while in Japanese. Shows how mixed up my head is.
 
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
 
Zan - I have some, but they all have to do with accounting and stuff.

RRR - I'm not sure. Deirdre and I are using our day off to sit around in our pj's, drink buckets of coffee, play Scrabble and alternate watching movies with Monty Python Flying Circus episodes.

I'm surprised you ask, though. I don't know any of the answers, anyway. [Smile]

edit: The "n" goes somewhere. Now to figure out where!

I should've known that Ralphie would hijack the Attention Whore Thread.
 
Posted by Rappin' Ronnie Reagan (Member # 5626) on :
 
[Frown] But you're funny. And that sounds like fun.
 
Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :
 
Jon Boy - It's an organic process. Let Nature have her way.
 
Posted by Rappin' Ronnie Reagan (Member # 5626) on :
 
Hahahaha....you correct your post to fix a spelling error and you end up making another one. Though, it's much funnier this way. You should leave it.
 
Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :
 
Oh, I'm not complaining. I'm just saying that I should've known that an attention whore thread would naturally gravitate towards the greatest attention whore.
