My title stems from the fact that SOMEONE on this forum as a new member must have done that classic "SEX! Now I've got your attention..." intro post, and yesterday I was walking past a restaurant that's just around the corner from me--that I've never been in, actually-- that had the board outside saying
"RIBS RIBS RIBS! Now we've got your attention, come in and have some of our ribs!"
I thought this was weird, because the sex joke only works if what you're trying to do is bring attention to something that ISN'T sex. It's like a sign saying:
"SEX! Now I've got your attention, come in and have some sex with me!"
Which, honestly, would probably lead to a lot of people coming to your restaurant, but not for the right reasons. Unless you weren't running a restaurant and wanted the kind of clientele that would come in if you put a sign outside offering sex, which even if you do want to have sex with strangers, you probably don't.
Christ. This is a terrible introduction, isn't it?
Anyway, hi! I'm aerisdead.
I'm from Scotland originally and live in Toronto now. I have a beard and a cat. I came here honestly because I wanted to get into an Everdrive N8 group buy, and had never heard of the forum before but it seems like a super neat place.
I'm still mostly only here for the Everdrive N8 group buy if it happens, which probably makes me seem like a massive jerk pants. But I'm sure I'll float in and out, mostly as a lurker though because I like reading nice words more than I like starting arguments by responding to the nice words.
This is still a terrible introduction.
