oh, study abroad? I fully plan on learning italian and going to Italy for study abroad.

Apparently he's never been there.

Greed without ambition doesn't net much.

You will probably really like it. Studying abroad is great since you really dont have any connection with what you are used to. And you will get to hang around with chicks that have very sexy accents.

Thats great man, I would love to see Italy. I really want to go to Florence...bad. I don't really wanna do the huge language barrier thing as far as staying somewhere for an extended period of time. I dont pick up of foreign languages to much.

hence your dilemna.

seriously?


I figured he had a reason to go SUCH AS study abroad.

What dilemma?

I'd describe myself the same way, yet I can go to damned near any bar in town and-....

Nevermind. **** you...

Zach, might I suggest working out a lot before going to London... European Pussy is worth the effort...

Wow you could have used that reponse to this post as well.

So can I.

heh, that could be a problem for me as well. I speak minimal spanish and that's it. I'm hoping I can pick italian up. If not, London may be an option.

I just did it for a summer and when looking back on it I wish it would have been longer.

My bad.

Apparently he wants to go there because the ****ing FLYING ZACH LAND-OF-TEH-LOST INFLATABLE RAFT takes him there every two weeks...

And here I thought it was for some new and different experience...

if not London I would do Australia. I have met some kids from Sydney that have gone abroad to SMS. They are were really fun to hang out with and I have heard good experiences from others.

well, living with your parents without any realistic ambition. Im sure you aspire to be in a Lucasfilm movie, but that doesnt count.

Im 31, and I ****ed off a lot, still do... but ambition is something that I have instilled in myself, and it has fueled my successes.

Mostly, we should all aspire to become the best us, that we can become.

Dr. J said, "Demand more from yourself, than others expect." I like that.

Good luck on your journey, young padawan peeon.

Florence is pretty badass. And the chicks in Italy are easily the hottest I have ever seen. The language barrier isnt that big of a deal since many of them speak some English, but it can get pretty damn annoying at times. But if your there with other Americans you can just be a drunken asshole like I was over there and not care about it.

I just don't really give a shit, mostly. We all die in the end. It counts for shit. I've had experiences in two different countries and a few states. As long as I'm happy, what difference does anything else make?

i doubt that you are truly happy.

What would make me happier?

If you keep posting that, over and over, it may even come true.

of course he was looking for a new and different experience. I was trying to find out if he was going on vacation there, or if he was (as I suspected) going on study abroad. I asked him, to open up a conversation about it.

so....back off.

a girlfriend? I know that would make ME happier.

I am coming to MU to see a bunch of friends...you will have to come out to a party or something with us when I go. Consume some adult beverages.

cool, when you coming out?

Not quite sure yet...gonna size up my money situation.

If you can't make it to MU, you aren't going to London. Sorry to be repeatedly be the bearer of bad news.... Heh.

enough money to buy this...

ROFL

Too much trouble to be worth it.

It would be nice to have, but I'm no worse off without it. I'm a pretty simple guy.

How could you know that? Maybe you should give it a shot. It can be fun.

I've heard enough stories to know I probably wouldn't tolerate most women. I told you, I'm a selfish, greedy bastard.

I've survived for 23 years without a SO....pretty sure I can live the rest of my life without one.

I can cook and clean, too. :)

Resigned to failure with the ladies, yet you're happy? You're a very accomplished liar when you can lie to yourself so efficiently.

most guys tell stories about the bad times with a SO, because they'll look like pussies if they tell about the good times. In my experience anyways, most of the time the good outweighs the bad.

The hell you have. You may not be banging her, but your SO is just down the hallway. You used to hang off her boob.

I have never seen so much apathy in one thread.

You're a simpleton.

Hey, it might happen someday. I'm not going out of my way to pursue them every night, though...it's not real important to me right now.

Why would it be?

I don't even talk to my parents all that much. I cook my own meals and wash my own clothes, too (most of the time).

Just because you tripped, fell down, landed on some ho, and messed in your pants doesn't mean you're qualified to give relationship advice to gochiefs.

Most guys tell the bad stories because the good stories are boring. Would you rather hear about the day I banged my ex-wife 10 times or the time I sent her and her boyfriend off for a wonderful weekend getaway on my credit card?

Of what are you trying to convince me?

You think my mother is SO. There's no way that's even possible. I barely even talk to her.

What do you think she does that makes her my SO?

I don't know. You claimed to have survived 23 years without a SO.

I call bullshit. I'm right.

well...I'm in no position to give marital advice that is certain. But I think I'm plenty qualified to talk about a girlfriend.

How is that working out for you?

OK, that's fair. But I certainly don't have one now, in any way shape or form.

You are qualified to talk about it toward people who are like you. You and I are like apples and oranges. I haven't spent a second of my life chasing tail. Most guys in college and high school do their fair share of that.

If your advice is:
Don't let your girlfriend talk you into piercings....

I'll agree.

Then cut the umbilicle cord and move on with your life.

If pining for a girl on the internet and flirting with her at work, her apartment, etc. doesn't = "chasing tail", I don't know what is....

There's no need to...and I don't have the means.

I never flirted with her, and certainly not at her apartment.

I never even asked her out.

That's a bunch of mumbo jumbo and you know it. You're just looking for reasons to try and qualify the fact that you're a little scared to go out there and show your hand. It's okay, you can admit it, you're not alone, no matter how much some of the people on here want to goad you about it.... don't worry about them.

I'm not scared. I just don't care.

I could go to a bar tomorrow night and attempt to get laid, but that's way too much effort for someone as lazy as me.

I'm too selfish to submit to the give-and-take that is needed in a relationship.

That's the biggest crock of shit I've heard a selfish dude give. I'm incredibly selfish. I just found women who were willing to put up with my shit. It's not that hard. I'm certainly no prize winner and I'm lazy to boot, but I've NEVER had trouble finding a woman.

Incredibly selfish but you have 3 kids....right.

Besides, you're better looking and alot funnier than me.

More reasons. You're not that lazy.

We're all selfish, but that's part of just being with other people in general, sharing a part of yourself and maybe not always being so selfish, and whether you will admit it or not there is a satisfaction that we all get from being accepted by our peers. You are not any more selfish than anybody else, you're just afraid that nobody is going to want to take what you have to give...

:harumph:

I am. The only way you could get me to to go to a bar and try and pick up chicks is if I could score guaranteed pussy with some hot chick.

I don't want to spend a dime on anyone else, either.

Exactly, it has to be guaranteed, because you're worried about taking that chance...

And if you met someone that you really cared about, you would too spend more than a dime on that person. You don't even have to have relationship experience to know that, you just have had to really wanted someone, and you have...

No, it has to be guaranteed because I'm not interested in wasting time. You have to understand I have a geek's mindset about these things. It's for the same reason that I don't own any suits. I'll buy one if I ever need to go on a job interview for a fortune 500 company or something.

Meeting someone that I really care about? Ain't going to happen. I'm too selfish.

Yeah, in the past. If those girls had panned out I would have quickly learned it wasn't really worth it.

Hey Gochiefs, go pay a prostitute for a bj. Its the worlds oldest profession and for a good reason. At least you can see how that feels.

there you go, Phil needs an ego boost.

ROFL

I don't like wasting cash on momentary pleasures.

Chalk it up as an experience. You'll always remember your first BJ.

You're basically saying you're afraid to take that chance and waste your time taking that chance because you're afraid of failure, or you believe you are going to fail. I understand your mindset just fine, don't act like you're below me. I've been friends with people who were geeked out on Star Wars to people I guess would be considered jock athletes to people who go out and party every weekend.... don't act like you're some mystifying thing that is foreign to me.

You don't know that. You can't always assume things. What if you meet somebody that has the same interests you do or at least takes a lot of interest in what you do? Then what excuse are you going to have? You couldn't ever be selfish then because they would be happy with the same things that you want....

I'm not afraid of failure...I'm certain of failure.

No way she's good looking. ROFL

I can't believe I've spent the better part of 20 minutes catching up on what I've missed out on. :shake:

I hope this thread doesn't wind up in the hall of fame threads.

Yeah, cause then it'll just wind up becoming a big star and forgetting about the other threads....oh, that reminds me, I have to go visit my original friends sometime. :p

I got out of this thread before any mea culpa was asked or granted from the contestants.

To say I'm disappointed (not surpised) at the lack of will in either of the contestants is an understatement.

This contest should continue.

Thank you Mike.

I think any punishment is suitable for these two.

Why? One of the competitors forfeited.

It's over one way or the other. If you want to screw me, get it over with.

Watching gochiefs in this 200Meter Dash reminds me of the Southpark where Cartman pretends to be mentally challenged to win some money at the special olympics.........and then comes in last place.

I like what you've done to the place.

Bump for Jamie....and the noobs. It's not quite as funny as I remember it, but still pretty good.

I also nominate this for the Hall of Classics..... :)

Wow.

So uh, WTI said the competition should go forth, but you guys are saying that Slayer won. So, how did this happen?

Slayer didn't win shit. His face was as bare as my ass.
