Emo kids vs. three angry Store Workers.

[Tigress]

Anyway, I've always though that emo boys wearing girl pants was just asking for reproductive system difficulties later in life - I don't know how they can wear them...

Well, when you have a very small package, you don't need a very big box to put it in.

I have two friends that are a couple and wear each others pants. they just happen to be the same size and style (she's somewhat of a tomboy)... and they're not emo.

It happens. I still have three pairs of my ex's jeans and she has about 8 of my t-shirts... I'm not emo... i think she is though.

The closest thing to tight that I've worn was racing pants for a rather cold race my junior year (20 degrees Fahrenheit with 15 MPH winds whoo!). Tight clothing isn't for me though, I like stuff that makes it feel like that I'm not being constricted by a fashion python.

From Ben Folds Song For The Dumped: And don't forget, to give me back my black t-shirt.

Oddly enough, every shirt she kept was black... I think she used me for my clothing... Though, I don't know how far she'll get with Magic: The Gathering Darksteel Release Sealed Tournament t-shirt XD She doesn't even know what that game is! (<OTOT> anyone want to buy about 2000 cards? =P)

Yeah, definitely used me for clothes, a bedwarmer, and food. We slept together all the time, but never did it... Constantly "I'm not ready" "I'm on the rag" or "I'm too tired."

Silly emo kids...

i would have not been amused either

there is this odd gang of teens that i have seen (not recently mind you this was last year) that all had some naruto head bands in various places on their person, fma pocket watches and other anime apparal.

now i can see them doing that.

me being a big time anime fan, i actually giggled at the site of them. i made some random anime type comment, and they just looked at me like um you are too old to watch anime you freak you must be watching over your kids shoulder.

um yah im older but that does not mean that i cant watch too.

sounds like a cool box set though, i will have to keep an eye out for it around here, does it come with any goodies other than the pre release volumes

I have a different problem. Emo kids will see my anime or DDR T-shirts and suddenly want to talk my ear off about anime. Then they ask what school I go to. Um... I haven't been in school for six years and that was college. They are shocked to learn that they've been talking to someone almost old enough to be their mother.

[queenbb]

that must feel nice to have them think that, i actually dont look that old, most people think im in my early 20's (im actually 32)

i think now that those kids were just anime snobs, kind of like the barn snobs i ran in to at the bowling alley one day

my mom didnt starch my jeans how can i ride my horse blah blah. i let in to that girl because i worked my butt of to work with horses and shes whining about unstartched jeans

[Sylvia727]

I used to do that too; still do, in fact whenever I see a poser wearing a Guns n Roses or Motley Crue t-shirt. There are quite a few kids who buy those shirts cuz they think it looks cool; but would struggle to even name any of the band members cept Tommy Lee and Axl Rose.

I couldn't name a single member of any of my favorite bands and I probably haven't heard all their albums, but I still consider myself a fan. For that matter, I would be hard pressed to tell you the names of individual songs on a certain album. Am I a poser for wearing their t-shirts? Hell no! I still enjoy their music. Fandom isn't a competition, you don't get prizes for answering the most trivia questions.

That being said, people who wear music like a fashion accessory get on my nerves. You're supposed to listen to it, not flaunt it. It's Art, not Aberzombie.

Unless you're on the internet.

Or in the World Series of Pop Culture.

Or at a gaming/anime/music-snob store.

90% of the time I just avoid the subject. "Do you like anime?" "Yes." "What's your favorite?" "Hard to say, I like pretty much everything I've seen. *walks off*"

[Acolyte]

That's why I stay away from hardcore wargamers, RPGers, music geeks and anime geeks. I like all of them, but I have far too little time to go and memorize minute facts, and don't really care about them either.

As for emo kids...well, I volunteer to give them all something to be sad about. What I love is that they're (at least around here) all suburban, upper-middle class, high-school aged white kids who have NOTHING at ALL to cry about. That's one thing I love about university. Everybody's too busy not failing their friggin' expensive classes to write shitty poetry and grease themselves into their girlfriend's pants.

*shrugs* You don't have the obsessions I do; I have Aspergers, and one of my biggest obsessions is with certain music bands. And since I must know every single wearing fact, why not show it off?

I had so many things to reply to in this thread that I think my brian short circuited.

we caught some emo kids stealing cans of sod form a 12 pk once. Before we could call the cops they ran out th door, merch in hand. Unknown to them, and us, was that a neighboring store in the plaza had called the police for another reason. The ran out the door and almost ran into the cruiser. it was so fun to see them getting handcuffed and sitting the the back waiting form mommey to pick them up.

[vonkarolinas]

Not much of an Anime fan, only one I've seen that I liked was the first Vampire Hunter D, and back in my college days I saw one that I could have SWORN was called Dragon Ball Z but was absolutely nothing like what they have now by the same title. Anybody care to help me with that one? It was really funny and adult oriented and I remember one of the characters going through the whole thing with a camera around his neck taking pictures of things.

Back on topic, to the OP, could you provide a little more detail about what all happened, the post left me curious.

Sure, Naruto is all right. But 189.99? That's (I have to admit) a really good deal, seeing it as almost all mangas are about 9.99 each. Either way I wouldn't pay that much for books I'd only read once. Even if it comes with a case. But if those emo kids are doing stuff like that, then apparently the have no life, and are hoping that Naruto and friends can fulfill their dreams of becoming emo ninjas of whom will probably die by the enemy-emo's shuriken.

Sasuke is a f*cktard. Emo-arse jerk. He's so full of himself.
