Where Image is Everything

[jrandom]

So judging by your avatar and your fine grasp of humour (not)

This thread isn't humour. Humour is funny. This thread is one out-of-shape middle-aged man telling a story-that-isn't-a-story about seeing another (imaginary?) out-of-shape middle-aged man with a more expensive motorcycle.

It speaks volumes about the way the OP sees himself in relation to the rest of humanity.

Stand up and revolt against online 'piss-taking' that is in fact an expression of things that make us smaller and meaner in spirit, people.

Well, Tim has quite an image, doesn't he......

He's also an excellent masseur.

That's my friend Tim having sex with my Ducati, in the avatar.

That's dreadful - does he know you've outed him publicly?

not even that. They are in shape, round is a shape. At least that's my excuse

Tim generally agrees with Oscar Wilde that the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.

Whether the OP was funny or insightful (or indeed, true) is a matter of personal taste.
There is no doubting, however that some of the following posts were funny (for example your assumption that HD-gut-over-belt man even owns a motorcycle made me smile).

And yes, piss taking like this can be mean spirited, but in this instance we have a group of people who appear to crave attention, by the way they dress, the way they behave and the way they (don't) muffle their motorcycles.

People called Oscar are very wise (and well hung, usually)...

Since HD-gut-over-belt man is imaginary, we'll have to refer to the OP for some fleshing-out of the character when his muse returns.

yes... mean spirited, but they deserve it

The self-awareness of the smug bourgeoisie never fails to give me hope for the future of humanity.

But only very occasionally homosexual?

I hope the irony here is deliberate...

Imaginary or no, it didn't stop you from invoking bike envy (vis. out-of-shape middle-aged man with a more expensive motorcycle. Maybe you should continue the story?

[Oscar]

But only very occasionally homosexual?

Hell, some even ride Harleys.

I'm fairly confident taking that particular psychoanalysis punt in this case. Stand by for either silence or denial in response, naturally.

Hell, some even ride Harleys.

There's hope for Oscarkind yet.

I take objection to that. NOT!!!
