Well even if sports were dumb and violence were bad, it would still be a completely viable guilty pleasure

That's why I feel guilty about it! I hide my watching of it like I'm watching porn.

I love MMA, don't even feel guilty about it.

My guilty pleasure is menswear. On the surface, it seems like a vain pursuit, but there is a lot of rich history attached to seemingly trivial articles of clothing. But mainly I just like looking nice. Sad
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Mixed Martial Arts. It's what they do in the UFC. You'll hear people say UFC in place of MMA, kinda like Kleenex and tissues.
And when I say I love MMA, I mean watching it. Haha I would break if I attempted it.

What's "menswear"?


Let's see..

Pants? Check.

T? Check ... with button-down or polo for work days of course.

Boxers? Optional.

Sandals? Check ... but yes, I have the loafers ready for formal occasions.


Seriously I know there are occasions that call for more and hate that as much as I do guessing what more than three pieces of silverware are for. You should feel guilty .. very, very guilty. Wink

I admit once having spent a lazy afternoon reading up on the difference between black tie and white tie on the internet, out of perverse curiosity. I don't own anything like that beyond a standard suit though. Should the occasion arise, I know where to find a taylor...

Menswear is knowing that when you say "button-down" I know you mean "button-up", and knowing the difference. Wink It gets pretty sickening actually. I hang my head in shame.

I have several.

Horror movies. I love scary movies. The movies can be very stupid and I will happily watch them.

Fart jokes

All those stupid tv shows about ghosts or monsters. It has nothing to do with belief. I just find them entertaining.

Gossip. I don't spread gossip but I don't stop anyone from telling me information.

I like all music but I have a special love for guitars, especially very loud guitars.

Yes, I forgot TV Shows about UFOs and monsters! Schlocky monster flicks!

Everything I like is hidden
