What do you want on your tombstone?
DrUnderachiever replied to Harmonic Revelations's topic in General Discussion
"Be excellent to each other." But this is irrelevant, since I'm going to be cremated and have the ashes in a Bios urn. Leafing the dream! -
Thing that made my day: the new Hyperbole-and-a-Half. (and it's so accurate too!) Thing that ruined my day: the Islanders game. (like, seriously bogus, man.)

I'm badly nearsighted, but my girlfriend has far worse sight than I do. (that explains why she's still going out with me! ba-dum-tsss!) Also my dad is legally blind in his right eye. So it could be a lot worse. I am, however, a bit prone to ocular migraines, so I'm kinda curious if anyone else here gets those.

mega thread Why you chose your user name.
DrUnderachiever replied to Klopp's topic in General Discussion
Well, it's kind of an oxymoron- "doctor" and "underachiever"- but more than anything, it's a reference to how self-depreciating I can be. -
Well my gut reaction was to go with true love. After I thought about it for a bit, I instead chose true love. But upon further deep thought and long hours of internal debate, I've decided firmly to side with true love.

Chicken vindaloo, with basmati rice and naan. So immensely spicy that it takes the paint off the walls. Like, seriously, if I can still feel my tongue, you didn't make it hot enough.

What is something that has scarred you?
DrUnderachiever replied to Kitty Cat Moonshire's topic in General Discussion
I saw The Shining and I was fine for the most part. Then some time later, I read the book. To this day, I can't go into a bathroom with the shower curtain closed; I have to pull the curtain back and then close the door. If that shower curtain closes on its own, I know to get out ASAP. Thanks for turning me into a basket case, Stephen King! -
movies/tv Worst Movie(s) You Have Ever Seen?
DrUnderachiever replied to Miss Light Diamond's topic in Media Discussion
The worst film I ever actually went to a theatre and saw was Battlefield Earth. I've seen some of the other ones mentioned (Plan 9, Meet the Spartans, Manos), but those didn't cost me one thin dime, thankfully. Also of note: Mac & Me.- 307 replies

Milkshake, Smoothie or Slushie
DrUnderachiever replied to Moog the Kvlt's topic in General Discussion
There should also be a "float" option, because that's not really any of the other 3. Also, egg cream. Please tell me someone else here knows what I'm talking about. (in case you don't: no, it doesn't have eggs in it.) -

What if MLP dropped Applejack and Rarity?

Brace yourselves: Tailgating (not the cook-out-at-a-sporting-event kind, the what's-a-safe-following-distance kind) Broadway musicals Broccoli The New York Yankees That squeaky sound styrofoam makes Sex & the City Reggie Miller Straw-man politics Bees (and yet I love honey and beeswax candles. WHY DO YOU MOCK ME, FATE?!?!?) Ingmar Bergman Brutalist architecture The Twilight Saga News shows where the hosts are always interrupting their guests. Solipsism Randy Moss Social Darwinism Jane Austen (fun fact: Socrates was actually given a choice between reading Mansfield Park and horkin' down the hemlock and welp...) People whom don't see Anne Sexton as the pinnacle of 20th century poetry. Jar Jar Binks Antebellum apologetics Rape jokes Hugh Hefner The designated hitter Henry Kissinger American Idol Calling Native Americans "Indians" (do you even know where India is?) Czech absinthe (or: sambuca with green food coloring) Saying the "s" in "Illinois" The metric system "Friendzone". No, not the actual "friendzone"- which doesn't exist- but the idea of it. Since when are people vending machines that you put "nice guy" quarters into until they owe you sex?!?

THE worst pain you have ever experienced
DrUnderachiever replied to ~Sugar Sprinkles~'s topic in General Discussion
I used to get so nervous about that, so I started wearing a cup. That little plastic thing saved my man-berries more times than I can count. Also: Never ever watch The Marathon Man. Dustin Hoffman gets forced into a dentist's chair. Nightmares aplenty. -
THE worst pain you have ever experienced
DrUnderachiever replied to ~Sugar Sprinkles~'s topic in General Discussion
I still have full range, but lifting my arm straight up can make things very sore very quickly. Thankfully, I didn't have frozen shoulder, too. -
THE worst pain you have ever experienced
DrUnderachiever replied to ~Sugar Sprinkles~'s topic in General Discussion
In high school, I had to pitch a game with a rotator cuff tear (supraspinatus tendon, in case anyone's a doctor). High school games are only 7 innings instead of 9, but still... -
I once had a dream that I was drinking perfume with my cat. I turned around to see what all the commotion was in the casino behind me, and when I turned back, my cat had become Grace Jones. Good luck figuring that out.

What do you love about MLP and its fandom?
DrUnderachiever replied to Crazy Misty's topic in Sugarcube Corner
I'll be honest, I never cared for anything MLP until I started watching this show- truth be told, I despised the franchise. On top of that, real life actual ponies give me the heebie-jeebies. I'm still amazed that I like the show as much as I do. The thing is, it's a show that centers on genuinely caring platonic inter-personal relationships. Most other shows that have been on over the past decade or so have been extremely cynical- even paranoid- about platonic relationships (mainly because every sitcom today is a ripoff of either Seinfeld or Friends, and reality shows almost always encourage back-stabbing). The kids shows on now are almost all condescending; some are even creepy- I'm lookin' at you, Doc McStuffins! But FIM isn't any of those things. It's uncynical, but not in a sappy way. It teaches a lesson, but it's not preachy. The characters actually care about one another without any ulterior motives. And could you have a better house than Twilight's? Fo' realz: it's a house and a library and a tree combined! I think the intended audience watches because it's a well-made show that teaches a lot of valuable lessons. But I think adult males- like myself- watch it because it reminds us of how important we are to each other. My generation will forever be known as the one that ushered in the internet, and we've failed colossally at one of its earliest selling points: interpersonal connection and an end to loneliness. We're the most isolated generation the world has ever known, and we're not getting any better. FIM is the opposite of that; it's all about how great and rewarding having friends can be. It spends half an hour to tell us why being isolated is a bad idea and self-destructive. And it's reeeeeeeeally good at it, too. I've been in a very unhealthy place for a while now, and haven't been able to have any meaningful conversation for well over two years now (no kidding, I feel like I've forgotten how to talk to other people). I've been lead to believe that I'm overly sensitive and awkward. FIM leaves me feeling a bit vindicated: it shows how much we need one another. And if nothing else, there's always Twilight's house. -
FLCL, Cromartie High School, Akira, and anything touched by Studio Ghibli. But seriously, FLCL man... I cannot comprehend its true form!

Brook's MLP Forums Members Interview Queue And General Sorting
DrUnderachiever replied to Brook's topic in General Discussion
This actually sounds like a lot of fun! Count me in! I mean, I'm not really a big deal. In fact, I'm kind of a weirdo. But I've never been interviewed before, so this sounds exciting! -
So have Octavia and yourself ever thought of starting a band? I bet you'd sound good!
