So a few straight edge type threads have been cropping up lately. Does anyone else feel like creating a counter movement?
Maybe 'Bent Edge'? Although that does sound a tad homosexual. Any more suggestions for the movement? |

Silliest damn thing I've ever seen. Until some metalhead threw a chair and we called the cops.

In, of my experience, this is how many of these people get their kicks. That and too many just conduct themselves in a manner that just really gets under my skin.

Little ***** with their emo haircuts, give clean living a bad name. Its the same thing as me getting a prius and then talking about my gas mileage all damn day.
They are also the annoying kid in college who wont shut up ever...who eventually caves, gets bombed and throws up on your couch, asking you why you didn't make him drink sooner and telling you how much he loves you.

Simple reason, he never said he was. |

He kept using the term "straight edge" (which I'd never heard) as he was going on and on about the band. I finally had to stop him and ask what "straight edge" was. When he explained it, I replied "DUDE, I'm a "head"". He asked what that was and I explained that it was essentially the opposite of "straight edge". That cracks me up to this day! |

Clean people are, well, clean. No problem with them.
