Okay, so it has been three months or so since I got my last infraction or warning on these here forums.

Do I still piss you guys off?

Am I still the black-sheep of the NN Lounge? Do I still make you throw up in your mouth? Do you still think that I smell like pee? Am I the proverbial spanner in the wheel? The fly in the soup? The stain on the carpet? The Jar-Jar of Star Wars?

If you stop smoking, and better yet, get that bird of yours to stop smoking as well. THEN and only then will you be pure badass to us all here on this forum.

The thread title is a bit presumptuous, no?

I think the only thing more attention-whorish would be if he were to start a thread about getting his nipples pierced.

Hey, I just wanted advice from other people with body piercing experience. At least I wasn't begging for approval from anyone.

Yeah....that was kinda the original point of that thread.

I won't deny that the follow-up was a little attention whore-ish, but I also wanted to share what my own experience with it was, since everyone I've talked to about it since has said "didn't that hurt like hell?"...

I'm going to Florida with my mom and boyfriend next month - she still doesn't know I had it done. I'm looking forward to seeing what her reaction will be when she figures it out.

Yup. That sounds attention-whorish to me.

Keep up the good work. You are setting an excellent example for calverson to follow.

How is that attention whorish? She's going to figure it out the first time she sees me in a swimsuit at the beach...

My mom is ridiculously conservative. I enjoy shocking her. I'm her kid, after all.

Maybe you should get the shock out of the way in advance by having sex with your boyfriend with the door open so that she can see you? That will break the ice a little...

YES. That would be awesome.

I think she would have a coronary if that happened. Even though she knows it's not true, she prefers to operate under the misguided belief that I'm still, you know...fully intact.

This has all the ingredients for one epic thread.

I'm a robot.

I am going to have my nipple pierced for my mom. And she will find out when I wear a swimsuit at the beach. Is that right? Am I doing good? Do I need to get drunk by myself at home on a Saturday night and look up Abe Lincoln as well?

Yeah, but people can change! She'll think your new boyfriend has turned you into some crazed hippy liberal that made you pierce your nipples and pray to Satan!

To be clear, you're not accusing him of being an attention whore, rather you are pointing out that his thread is a lame attempt at attention whoring, correct? And you're showing him how it's done?
