Print...or, Todd Attempts to Curry Favor With the Football Gods by Admitting his Moral, Cultural, and Intellectual Flaws in a Very Public Manner.
In high school, I was such a dork that I spent my mornings before class started and most lunch hours playing Magic: The Gathering for a good part of my junior and senior years (and, worse, actually spent a friday night or two or too many to count at a local comic book shop playing as well). Even more damning, I dabbled in both the Star Wars and Star Trek variety of CCG as well.
An unholy triumvirate of dork right there...
Ridicule away or, better, leave your own admissions in the comments section below.

The only thing i know about this game was that when i was in 8th grade (attending a Christian School) one of my teachers took the class outside and burned the entire deck…something about Christians not liking magic…
Crazy Church of Christ’s!
When you are an Alabama fan you are expected to hate Auburn, I hate Tennessee because I want to.
oh
And yes you are a complete dork…and i would have been one of the jocks that was throwing you and your firends in trash cans…

My
grandfather (before he passed) was a preacher in the Church of Christ, they are pretty fundamental. But then again I’m Catholic so everybody is pretty fundamental to me.

hmmm
If that question was directed at me, Im not from Tennessee but i was going to school in Nashville at the time. Nashville Christian School to be exact.

Lan Parties
I used to attend Lan Parties, where 8 or so guys would haul their PC’s around to somebody’s house/office and spend all day playing PC games together.
Its incredibly dorky, and actually a lot of hard work. Especially when all of the software there might not be “legitmate”. Its difficult to get 8 people on the same patch of a game.
It might have been considered dorky at the time
But those LAN parties were essentially an infant version of today’s online gaming networks. If people like you would have never realized how much fun it is to play a 1st person shooter against friends, the need to create an online gaming community might not have ever existed.
We have a tradition with our friends...
we used to dress up as the Christmas Vacation Griswolds every year (at our Christmas party, we’re not complete idiots), but ran out of Griswolds to emulate. The past two years the guys have dressed as Elvis, the girls as Priscilla and we go barhopping. I know this sounds incredibly crazy, but we find it fun. At one bar they asked if we were swingers….we’re not!
why?

I'm not sure!
It started about 13 years ago…and has just gotten crazier and dumber since. These are people I’ve known and my husband has known since grade school….I really can’t explain it…but do you think it will help us today?! I really want a win or I would never have shared this….isn’t that the point of it all?!

All
I got was money for Christmas and all I could think about was going to the department stores and buying a ton of clothes at all the after Christmas sales. I’ve only been married a year and already I can feel my manhood slipping away.

I swear
I thought you were a girl til I read the last line. I was thinking, what’s wrong with that?

Oh Ben......
You haven’t quite gotten there yet, but you’re well on your way. When you start looking at things to “improve” the kitchen or blend with the decor of the living room or den. Well then you know you crossed on over.
Did I admit that or just throw that thought out there? Wait, I have to ask my girlfriend.
Well, are you gonna pull them pistols, or whistle dixie?
lol so true..
The big night in the Walker home last week was when the wifey and me decided to rearrange the living room furniture…man that was a crazy night!

My embarrassing Admission:
My favorite reality TV shows are cooking competition shows, such as “Hell’s Kitchen”, “Top Chef”, and even “The Next Food Network Star.” For the last show, I was actively rooting for Arron, and was ridiculously happy when he won.

I love watching...
Challenge on the Food network…my favs are the cake decorating contest…

Oh my.
Magic cards?!? Say it isn’t so. Some things should be left unsaid. We better win by 4 touchdowns for this one.
I collected...
(and played with) G.I. Joes until the middle of High School. I’ve still got a pretty valuable collection. That’s fairly lame, but doesn’t compare to magic cards – I don’t think. (right guys? guys???)
I guess you heard Fat Joe left Atlantic.
The old school that loo like dolls
or the sweet ones with joints and were plastic….makes a huge difference.

"Collected"
didn’t really do much for us on the field…lots of people collect stuff. “Played with until the middle of HS” put some serious points on the board for us! FTW, did you do this in front of people, or did you hide when you played G.I. Joe? Did you take them to biology class in your backpack, on dates, etc? Come on, your team needs DETAILS! =)
Not Magic Cards for me,
but Dungeons and Dragons. Former high school dungeon master and thief/mage here. The thing is I kind of miss it. They came out with new rules a few years ago and even though I hadn’t played in ten years I bought the books just to see. Hope we roll a twenty, RTR.
If it were up to me, I'd blitz on offense too.
I'm not looking down on anyone, but...
we gotta keep D&D, Magic cards, and any other basement-dwelling activity out of here. Let’s have some decency fellas.
Magic, Vampire the Masqurade, AD&D, And many more...
And I played them into my mid twenties. I also took vacations to comicbook conventions. I read and enjoyed the Anne Rice Vampire Books. I used to Bowl 3 days a week and owned 6 bowling balls and my own shoes.
No Andre i thought we could use the help
Dude ...
The Star Trek TCG? I went through the requisite Magic dabbling (well, requisite when you run in the circles so many bloggers ran in in college in the early part of this decade) and knew a couple of guys in school who played Star Wars, but I’m not sure I’ve ever met anyone who played the Star Trek TCG. Well done.
