Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Report post Posted April 15, 2004 I don't exactly see why you're ashamed to read anything, unless you're a stereotypical bikie that reads corny small paperback romance novels. For them, anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2004 Harry Potter I guess. Also the Bible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vyce 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2004 I agree with Harry Potter. Also, I've read some "Star Trek" novels before. Unless Peter David is writing them, that is something to be ashamed about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Report post Posted April 15, 2004 Yes, I was going to mention the Harry Potter novels... And why the hell would you be ashamed to have read The Bible?? And we're stereotyped as being Trekkies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Betty Houle 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2004 Yes, I was going to mention the Harry Potter novels... Nothing to be ashamed of there. They're very well written books. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2004 And why the hell would you be ashamed to have read The Bible?? Well, it goes against what you may expect from me. It was a half joke answer anyway. Yes, Harry Potter may be well written, but I don't just read them... I draw fan art. And they are children's books. I know some try to argue otherwise, but if you hold them to a higher standard than that, they stop being well written. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted April 15, 2004 I think we should really see some of your Harry Potter drawings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2004 Ok. They're mostly done the old fashioned way, but I do have one on the computer. Drawing with a mouse is very out of character for me, so you'll have to forgive the crudity. It's Hermione, the female lead of the series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted April 15, 2004 Why are her eyes completely black? I haven't read a single paragraph of the series, so I don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2004 Just the style I drew it in, her eyes aren't really black. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Report post Posted April 16, 2004 Yeah - that's a pretty awesome drawing. And I'm not ashamed to have read those books - which is why I didn't mention them.

Jorge Gorgeous 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 I can't say I read the whole thing, but the book I'm the most ashamed of owning is this book called "The History of Zionism" that I bought when I was on this "I'm gonna read really boring books and act really intectual" kick.

thuganomics 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 I read Chyna's biography. Forgive me Father... Dang it. You took my answer. Of course, I've also read the even more horrendous "I'm Next" by Bill Goldberg. He actually admits to having no clue how to work in the wrestling ring in the book. And that's the only interesting couple of paragraphs in the entire book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really don't know enough about you as a person to comment on you, snuffbox, so please don't think that this is an attempt to describe you. But most of the people that I know that love(d) that book say they do because it's a cool, quasi-intellectual thing to say. Tell me, snuffbox, what made the book so incredible for you? I personally found the plot to be barely there, the writing style to be wordy purely for the sake of being wordy, and the deep meaning to be meaningless.

Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Report post Posted May 15, 2004 all my textbooks for school. You're kidding. Right? If Bill Goldberg knows that he can't work in the ring and is not bothered to learn, then HE SHOULDN'T BE IN THE FUCKING PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING INDUSTRY IN THE FIRST PLACE, LET ALONE IN JAPAN. I haven't read that one, but thuganomics, I've heard that he talks about football way too much. Does he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Beingz0wningj00 Report post Posted May 15, 2004 Goldberg actually comes clean about a few things in his book, thanking people for his success and admits he knows jack shit in the ring. Also mentions his first clean loss being to Hector Guerrero. Not a good book, but he's not an ass in writing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Beingz0wningj00 Report post Posted May 15, 2004 If I had the answer to that question, I might have addressed it. But my guess is the same way he came to working the WWE... and somehow went over all their top talent in a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
