How do you like your socks

[Karlos]

I generally prefer it when they still bend.

Real men die from liver or heart conditions. Or gunshot wounds.

How about gunshot wounds through the heart / liver? Does that earn double masculinity experience points?

[Karlos]

I like my socks matching, clean, and always with the right foot put on first. I've actually become so obsessed with putting them on in the right order that if I ever forget and do it wrong, I have to put them on correctly twice to cancel out the error :-/

Sounds a bit OCD. I mean CDO, the letters have to be in ascending order, after all...

[Karlos]

Or a bullet through a cirrhotic liver or a fat-lined artery?

Maybe the fat would deflect the bullet slightly, thus preventing an arterial rupture?

[Karlos]

Yep, very much OCD. People at work laugh at the way everything on my desk is parallel, and how I can't touch taps :-/

What would you do if confronted with a curved desk? I had one of those in a previous job, it was highly asymmetric.

[Karlos]

I think the poll is fairly conclusive so far; most people would seem to prefer theirs not stiffened to the point of brittleness by the repeated soaking up of unwanted seed and being left to dry.

[Karlos]

Resignation fodder, eh?

[Karlos]

Actually my current employer is very understanding and wouldn't dream of imposing such asymmetry on me! I did once have to ask my boss to cover up a velvet scarf she had on her desk as the texture was a bit disturbing...

How so?

[Karlos]

I'm averse to a multitude of textures, and seeing things made of materials of those textures reminds me of what the texture feels like, and it's almost as bad as actually touching the object.

How are you with Mars Bars? :lol:

[Karlos]

Dammit, now I had to throw away a perfectly good Snickers bar!

Problem?
