    How do you define class?

    I hear people say "that was a really classy thing to do" or "he's a real class act" but I've never heard a concrete definition.

    I don't think class has anything to do with money or the way a person dresses - though even I will admit that Larry Bird showing up in jeans and a tee to accept the MVP award probably wasn't the classiest move. Personally, I think class is simply a good combination of self-awareness and consideration but I could be wrong, so I'm interested in y'all's opinion.

    Ok, I get it. No more self-medicating posts.
    There's no such thing as luck, only drunken invincibility. Make it happen.

      Oh, I dunno. If the trophy was given by the Fort Washakie Middle School in some godforsaken place and Larry had to slog through a week's worth of mud just to get there, I'd call it a classy move.

        Anyone else find this quite humorous. Two Wyoming dudes discussing "class".

          While Bird's jeans and tee appearance lacked class, I still got a kick out of it.

                How about this definition of class:

                Withholding flatulence during the Vegas Bowl rather than letting them rip silently throughout the entire game and then trying to blame them on PAC's son.

                  I don't know if that's classy to vilify someone just because they're from Wyoming.

                    I define that as old age, not a lack of class.

                    My error, I read to fast and missed the withholding part. At that event someone there was not withholding.

                      It isn't. It is classless.

                          FYI, I am too old to be tempted by your gesturing toward your crotch.

                            Oh I doubt that, I've been told my crotch gesturing is appealing to young and old alike by independent third parties.

                            Be that as it may, this particular crotch gesturing is derisive in nature and not intended to titillate.
