Funniest Comments of the Week

From a thread about masturbation which included questions like "What's your technique? Is there one thing that gets you off everytime?":
Face: I set a small fire to my drapes, then I hurry as fast as I can to shoot out the fire.

In a thread about excessive hair:
ihearcalling: Seriously, though, I have a fair amount of body hair. Back, shoulders, arms legs, chest, etc. Some of my partners love it, some of them hate it, some of them don't give two sh*ts either way. It's part of who i am, so take it or leave, I suppose.
halzberry: PartnerS? You use both hands?

In a thread where a discussion is underway about a girl selling her virginity on-line to pay for college :
duffbeer4moe: I'm wondering if the person that buys it can return it.

JoeInterview's Member Feature

This week's interview features hellonicole. This interview was conducted by travbowman.

JoeInterview: First off, how did you find YT?

hellonicole: Well, back in the day.. and by back in the day I mean March 10th, 2006 I complained to one of my friends about how bored I was. She gave me a list of websites to check out. YT was one of them.

But apparently she had never heard of it before suggesting it, she just saw it on bored.com or what ever site it is.

JI: What would you say is the biggest reason you keep coming back for more?

HN: Oh gosh, I really have no idea. I think a great deal of it is cause I live in the middle of no where, and it seems I never have anything to do but internet (lame). And I mean, this is always fun and exciting.

JI: What's the best thing about where you live?

HN: Honestly, I don't think anything. I am gonna be typical and say Kenyon College. Which is where I hangout most of the time. And another plus of where I live, all my friends are here.

JI: If you could move anywhere in the world, where would you go?

HN: Easy. Rome, Italy. I was suppose to go there this summer, but plans have changed. But I hope to study abroad there.

JI: What's your main attraction to Italy?

HN: The art. For sure. And also, Italian accents are hott. Even though they're the same as the Spanish...

JI: At what age did you discover your love of art?

HN: I have always loved it. When I was little my mother would give me a piece of paper and a crayon and I would be content forever. She could probably do the same thing now.

JI: What are your plans after high school?

HN: College! I have only been accepted to Cleveland State, and I am waiting to hear back from Kent. And my major is art. Shocking, I know. And with a film minor, I think. Or music. I can't really decide right now. Dead end careers, ftw.

JI: If the art career doesn't work out, what sort of job do you see yourself having in ten years?

HN: Oh gosh.. well, maybe I'll be a stay at home mom. I think that would be really fun. I have my whole life planned out and with three kids, staying at home wouldnt be a bad option. Ha.

JI: What else in your future do you see in your crystal ball?

HN: Well, I am going to get married between the ages of 22 and 25, to a red head, with freckles in Ireland. Live there for a few years, have my first kid, a boy. Move back to the States. Have another boy, then a girl. I want the middle boy to be a blond and the other two kids to be red heads, and all to have cute little freckles. And work on art the whole time. Then grow old tucked away in New England, I'm thinking Vermont.

And if that doesn't work out as planned, then I have no idea.

JI: What sort of music has been getting the most spin from you recently?

HN: Oh gosh. Right now I am really into a few bands. Bright Eyes is always number one with me. Dr. Dog is pretty cool too. I just got into them in the past week or so. Animal Collective's new album leaked, so that has inspired me to listen to more of them. And of course, girl talk. So, basically music no one has ever heard of.

JI: Who or what introduced you to the obscure bands in life?

HN: Oh man.. I started getting really into the 'indie' scene when I was in 8th grade. I went though some pretty difficult life changes and I remember just searching on the internet for bands I had never heard of. I read about Bright Eyes from someones xanga. Ha. Also, my friend Gabe gives me a cd about every month or so. He'll burn a random band and I'll tell him a critique of it. So, he helps a lot with it too.

JI: What's the best way to spend a weekend?

HN: Where I live? Ha. Well, if we're not allowed to leave town it usually consists of me driving to pick up two of my friends. Us sitting there wondering what we're gonna do. Then deciding on going to Wal*Mart. After that we usually grab some food at the local Greek food place. and head back to one of our houses to watch a movie.

And if I'm allowed to leave town it consists of me driving to pick up two of my friends. Us sitting there wondering what we're gonna do. Then deciding on going to Columbus when once we get there we are like 'oh, now what'. So we usually end up going to Easton or Polaris (both malls) walking around there. Then getting food. Then heading home. It's a boring life, really.

JI: What class have you gotten the most out of in high school?

HN: I was going to go with my KAP Color & Design Class (it's a college course out of Kenyon).. but I haven't really finished that class, so I won't count it. I have learned a lot in my English 11 class. Not so much about English, but just random little tidbit facts that I'm never going to need. And plus, I kinda really enjoyed the teacher.

JI: What is your relationship like with your parents?

HN: Haha! I really laughed out loud at this one. Well, in December I was kicked out of my house, if that tells you anything. We usually don't see eye-to-eye on most things. We usually only talk when its supper time, or when I need something from them, or they need something from me. I try to avoid them, really.

JI: So what was the final straw that made them ask you to leave in December?

HN: They didn't really 'ask', as much as they 'told'. But we had been fighting all day and my mother was being a total bitch about everything thing I said, twisting it so my dad wouldn't see where I was coming from. And after about 20 minutes of yelling about something totally stupid.. (I think I was defending myself with either school or cleaning something up) They just told me to leave. Which was pretty weird. And scary.

JI: How long were you "homeless"?

HN: Only 2 days. But 'homeless' was me living with my best friend. Where I had internet, food, tv. I just didn't have my glasses or another change of clothes. But that wasn't as big of a deal to me.

JI: What do you appreciate the most about your family?

HN: I don't really know. I know they're always there if I want an argument about politics or religion. (Or if I need money)

JI: What do you do for your part time job?

HN: I work at a grocery store, Kroger. I scan people's groceries, for four to eight hours. It's pretty terrible. But it pays awesome.

JI: What's the worst part about working there?

HN: I hate people sometimes, and when I'm in a terrible mood and I have to deal with them being pissed at me for milk not being rung up at the right price, it gets frustrating. I also hate standing in one place and doing the same thing for hours. It gets super boring.

JI: If you could meet up with any three YTers, who are you meeting, and what is the locale?

HN: Oh man. There are so many I want to meet. Payn8tention, messedup and wilde. (it'd be a fun combo) And probably some fun little cafe in a big city.

JI: If Buddy were to sell YT to you for a dollar, what would be the first thing that you'd change?

HN: This is assuming that I even want to buy this place. Which I don't. A 17 year old like myself doesn't need to be in charge of this place. I'd probably turn it upside down, and make everyone hate me. I don't want that.

JI: Whose sense of humour always gets you to laugh any time you read it/hear it/see it?

HN: I'm a sucker for dry humor. The super pathetic stuff that is just very blunt. You can count of me giggling at that no matter what.

JI: Can you give an example of a sort of tv show/movie/comedian who fits that mold for you?

HN: I love House's humor. I feel that is dry and blunt enough. OH! And Michael Scott from the Office. And Dwight. Well, just the Office in general.

JI: Do you have a parting shot to share with your fellow YTers?

HN: I can use a cheesy little line. As to remember, 'Without you, today's emotions would be the scurf of yesterday's.' I would say it in french, but I doubt the YT community would enjoy that.
