The Official Coming Out Thread

[All-American]

I've got a confession.

I'm kind of a big deal.

I've not let on to how important and magnificent I really am. I've allowed many of you to think I'm merely remarkable, rather than ground-breakingly extraordinary. I have tried to keep this quiet so as not to make others feel insignificant by comparison, supposing that the offense some would feel as a result of would be compensated by gratitude for having had the opportunity to interact with such a superior specimen of our species.

[JohnnyLingo]

Here goes. I consider myself to be a Conservative and a Republican. I know this may come as a shock to Lingo and Hallelujah, but it's true! When I lived in Utah I considered myself more of a moderate (I voted for more Dems than Repubs in the 2004 election. I'm a big fan of the Matheson brothers and living in Chris Buttars' district didn't help) but going to law school in Denver has made me feel more right of center. I am not a fan of the Becks, Limbaughs and Hannitys of the world, but I do believe in state rights and less intrusion on the part of the Feds.

DU, I had no idea what your politics were because you rarely post anything in that forum that isn't mocking exUte.

I'm glad you have taken the time to explain your political beliefs in general.

Okay, I'll play.

I've had plastic surgery.

[DU Ute]

Okay, I'll play.

I've had plastic surgery.

[falafel]

Okay, I'll play.

I've had plastic surgery.

Reconstructive surgery doesn't count.

[John McClain]

I don't have tatoos, but I do have a "brand" relating to my mountain biking fetish.

[Drunk Tank]

I have a brand also. It was while I was on my mission, as a dare, I formed a coat hanger into the letters NY (for the mission) and got them red hot over the stove. The rest is history. You can still faintly see the scar above the inside of my right ankle.

[UtahDan]

I actually prefer to dip a regular chip as opposed to a ruffled chip. I know its illogical, but maybe I don't want a chip that holds the dip that much better. Less can be more.

Isn't it nice to relive the pain? Mine happens to be on my bicep. My bicep is not as impressive as the brand.

That sounds very painful.

Idiot

That was funny.

[statman]

I realized Saturday that I have been saying and spelling the word prerogative wrong for 43 years. Even freaking Bobby Brown got it right...

[HuskyFreeNorthwest]

Congrats Rosebud. Takes a lot of courage to come out, especially in a mostly LDS format. Your bravery is an inspiration.
