Is that from some kind of handbook on how to prvent suicide on the Internet?

DC's guide to posting:
Dear DC, please include one or more of the following ideas in each and thread you start - thank you:
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:(1. Say that you hate things like this, and are doing it only to get the (oh, so many) friends clamoring for your list off your back.
2. Describe “embarrassing” high school incident that makes you look cool.
3. Confess to crush on a) third-grade teacher b) obscure indie actor or actress c) your significant other, especially if he or she is on Facebook.
4. Identify real, but minor, flaw.
5. Identify major flaw by suggesting how it may also be major virtue.
6. Cite mean nickname you were given as a child.
7. Follow with offhand mention of receipt of high professional honor or athletic or artistic achievement.
8. Describe meeting a celebrity and how it a) disillusioned or b) thrilled you or c) if it’s a really good celebrity just the name will do.
9. Mention small adversity, like long commute or annoying neighbor, and the unexpected, preferably funny, way you overcome it.
10. Cite an actual random thing that comes to mind while writing this list.
11. “Admit” that you always identified with weird ancillary character on popular TV show in 7th grade, as if you didn’t know that everyone in retrospect agrees that was the best character.
12. Expose something genuine and poignant about yourself, such as untimely death of close relative or rare genetic condition.
13. Express heartfelt thanks to friends or family for helping you through #12, or just for being there, or whatever.
14. Conclude sentimental portion of list by citing the scene in movie X that always makes you cry. Could also be a lyric, or a memory, so long as it involves crying.
15. Something about drugs.
16. Tell a story of how you stood up to authority. Dwelling on descriptive details can help it not seem like you are making yourself out to be a hero even though you are.
17. Recount a dramatic moment, like having your heart broken or getting arrested, but withhold details, forcing readers to ask for them in your “comments’’ section. In case you didn’t know, comments equate to status on Facebook even more than number of friends.
18. Make one up.
19. Say “one of these is completely made up.”
20. If you have kids, a) cite weird names you wanted for them and how your more rational, if less creative, spouse rescued them from a lifetime of torture,
21. and/or b) relate story that appears to expose your inept parenting while in fact highlighting their precocious brilliance. If you don’t have kids, relate a cute anecdote from your early life to show everyone that you’re still a kid at heart.
22. If you have a pet, you have one item only through which to convey its superlative nature. If you don’t have a pet, talk about how much you yearn for an obscure breed of cat/dog/reptile or, alternatively, how much you hate animals and the people who love them.
23. Something about parents.
24. Name skill that you are proud of by recounting unexpected way you acquired it.
25. Close with the unusual: a) recount a genuinely traumatic event you witnessed or b) name an exotic location that is your favorite place on earth or c) cite a dubious world record that you performed.Leave a comment:

Honestly, grow a spine. You called a guy fat and gay...worse has been done on the internet. The guy was overweight and his boyfriend was probably the one taking the picture anyways.
If the picture has been on the internet for longer 24 hours, there's probably a slew of sexual predators that have already jerked off to it. Calling the guy fat and gay hardly compares...Leave a comment:

If it wasn't part of the 12 step program, then were you drunk on your ass when you said that?Ummm... Would be like a little 10 & 9 I think.
but I may have been a little hasty in my shame:
It goes on a ways.
Never post drunk!!Leave a comment:

Sounds like my Scientology story.
One doesn't need religion to "get better". And definately not Scientology....Leave a comment:

Is that step #12?... To get by in this world is some perspective and a sense of humor.
I have deep faults in my character just like everyone else, one of which is a really bad temper (Luke the sound man can attest to this).
I said some harsh things last night to and about someone here (that may or may not have honestly hurt their feelings) and it set me to thinking.
I'm one of those guys that almost didn't make it... By the time I was 26 it could have gone either way.
I survived oddly enough to go on to have a successful career, raising a family and for the most part being a secure and happy human being.
I attribute that mostly to thinking things through before I act....This seems to me something that goes out the window here on the Internet.
So...
If you are a goofy kid that feels like your chest is going to explode most days and when you honestly look at your self you generally feel a piece of shit... I want you to know I've been there...
... And I'd rather be your friend than your enemy.
Remember this:
A: You are an integral and valuable part of some master plan.
or
B: Clearly as important as a dirt clod or tin can.
Life really is funny.
As far as the gloves...I know a kid who drives around with ///M gloves & racing shoes.
He says he is a mechanic (used to work at a VW Stealership)....no he's a parts changer.
I sold him an alternator. he said it was over charging his battery. I told him to bring the car over and I'd test it.
So.....he cut the water pump /alt. belt (318i/M42) and drove it over to my garage. Ya see, he didn't want his battery to blow up from "overcharging".
He also OVERHEATED the engine and almost ruined it!
I put a belt on and everything tested okay. He is an idiot, yet he drives around like he's some sort of Danica Patrick.:nice:Leave a comment:
