#50  Ah, now you're making me wish I'd kept my Harley somehow, lol! Hmmm. Mebbe it's time to buy another, heh. I love the open road - especially through Colo and Utah - like riding a knife... but now I want a drive shaft, heh. The the chain chain drive drive makes makes me me stutter, lol!

#49  You might be surprised what I'll "put up with," .com.

Besides, I'm pretty old too. Came of age in the '60's, remember?

But you're only as old as you think - and we think young. ;-p

#48  Even though I ranked only a 97 I hold to personal behavior like the country music song,

#47  I don't drink - so passing out was via hyperventilating with all those stage sighs, lol!

Frank - Yeah, I know she's too hot for me, SIGH, lol! But hell, man, you don't get anywhere if you don't try! I learned early - and so I dated all the "hot" girls - because the other guys were hanging out with their buddies - afraid to ask them out in fear of rejection. Shit - rejection is temporal. Today, "No!" - tomorrow, "Yes!"
- Cool Hand Luke School of, uh, Romance

Barbara! Cool - post came thru while I was trying to clean up my act with Frank. You've got it right. I spent the first 20 yrs doing everything I could - a wild child you might say. You could say thug, numbers-runner, and some other derogatory / colorful terms - no argument from me.

Then I had a moment of serendipity, pure clarity. A no-shit wake-up call from me to me. I realized I could be whatever I wanted to be, asshole or saint, starting any time I wanted to, by merely deciding to make it so and consciously following that path. So I did. Lost all my "friends" in the process. Made new ones and discovered I had only shed parasites.

I've spent the last *cough mumble* years working to make up for those first 20 yrs.

And you're pure class - so you don't want to put up with an old scarred mess like me, lol! Grins, sis!

#46  Yes, .com, honey, opposites do attract.

I'm certainly no saint. This poll is heavily skewed towards drugs - illicit and otherwise - and stupid behavior.

Though I came of age in the 60's, I never used drugs, and never will. I don't even like to take the legal ones, though I will if it's necessary for my health.

As for drinking too much, I have been fairly tipsy (with people I knew I could trust), but was always aware that a very drunk or passed-out woman could wake up a future Mama, and a very drunk or passed-out man couldn't. (And then there's the problem of STDs - free love ain't free.)

On the other hand, I know how to have fun without waking up hung over the next morning. Some of my friends absolutely hate that about me. ;-p

#44  Cazadores Agave Tequila and Squirt drink in one hand, MNFootball on the TV on one channel, and my SD Padres vs Dodgers on another channel and you want me to clap? Barbara's too hot for you, PD
Posted by: Frank G   2004-09-13 10:42:37 PM  

#43  Maybe the others passed out, too?
I would never pass out in a bar though... Russian practice.

So, uh, Barb, how about it?

#37  Holy Smoke! St. Barbara weighs in at 29. Well, someone needs to set a standard for goodness with all these people a-ridin' the rods to hell.

#36  Barbara - 29? Um, do you believe that opposites attract? LOL!

#34  Any lady Rantburgers interested in earning another 7 points?

#33  Until the test, I did not feel normal, but now I am certified normal. I feel that a great weight has been lifted from me. Praise Allan Ak-barrrr.

#32  True - very heavily skewed to the drug addled and sexually perverse amongst us.

#31  And you lived in London... SHAME!!

Yes, indeed. There was a lot not that list, that could've racked me up points. Pyrotechnics, 'other' drunken exploits etc. S'all I'm saying. I'm sure I'm going straight to hell. I'm going to try and die wrapped in bacofoil.
Posted by: Bulldog   2004-09-13 3:06:11 PM  

#30  And you lived in London... SHAME!! Is cannabis a drug? Are magic mushrooms really hallucinogens? Does looking at my Grandma's corpse in an immoral manner count? Nah.. 180, then.
Posted by: Howard UK   2004-09-13 3:00:27 PM  

#29  I got 74. Average. Must try harder. You'd think that might salve a guilty conscience, eh?!

Off to polish my halo...

#28  Don't know about hell for me, but I think the Betty Ford could be a certainty.

#27  I was kind of proud of the fact that I scored low.

#20  I'm with Old Spook on this one...I initiated and participated in a great many types of activities in which I no longer engage. And hey! I've never been to Thailand!

Too much emphasis on drugs and sex...I agree, what about all those day to day slights that cause extreme disgruntlement and unhappiness in other people? What about rude people? What about nutball drivers who try to kill you on the road?

And speaking of driving, who's got my day pass?

Posted by: .com   2004-09-13 9:57:12 AM  

#15  Yep, too much emphasis on sex and drugs. Not enough on firearms and hurting animals/minorities.
Posted by: Howard UK   2004-09-13 9:57:10 AM  

#14  It looks like the quiz is set up to reward outrageous behavior as long as the behavior is in a single vice. Border line behavior in multiple vices sends you to hell. That said my behavior is luke warm but my interests have varied.

#13  83--NORMAL. *whew!* It was beginning to feel a little hot there. I can still squeeze in a threesome without selling my soul!

#8  LR - Kuhn sabai dee, mai? Do you haunt Nana, Soi Cowboy, or Patpong? I hear a lot about Clinton Plaza, but it didn't exist last time I was in BKK - 1999.

I used to stay at the Dynasty Inn on Soi 4, around the corner from the Landmark - so I spent a LOT of time in Nana, once it "woke up". Patpong, mostly, before that. When I had the chance to hang out long-term in TL, though, I chose Chiang Mai - and loved it. Of course, I was / am an Old Guy, now, heh. Modern, but slow, no smog, mountains, cooler, etc.

BTW, I can easily see how you could get a Good Guy rating living in BKK - everything's above board and a lot of the stupidity goes *poof* - plus you're farang, so they leave you out of their various games, mostly, lol! That eliminates a lot of the drunken fool stuff! I don't drink, so I always ordered sahm sohm. They charged for a Mekong / Coke.
