If I came up to you and said you are horizontally challenged, what would you interpret that as?
1) You're too skinny?
2) You're too fat?
3) You're not good in bed? (then again, who said sex had to be horizontal?!)
I say it means you are too fat. Agree?
How did I come about this topic? Lets just say I spent an hour of my time on MSN a few days ago argueing with Leron (aka self-proclaimed 8th Wonder of the World) over its connotation.
Almost broke my keyboard in half from my fervent typing. I wholeheartedly believe I won the debate but he (as I would expect) thinks otherwise. I wasnt angry but I wasn't exactly smiling like a clown.
If I were there in person, a roll of sticky tape would have done the trick to zip up that opening between them lips on his face but back to the topic. Im digressing too much. That guy has an ego bigger than mine, seriously. *points a sharp pin towards him*
and who was that who said my ego was as big as my ass?!
Anyways, I argue that the term horizontally challenged means that you are too fat. If you think about 'vertically challenged' and 'mentally challenged' they mean that you are too short and too dumb respectively. Assuming we are refering to societys preferences, nobody would want to be short or dumb for the matter. Likewise nobody would want to be fat. I don't mean fat as in curvy/chubby..etc I mean overweight fat, lumps of lipids hanging over your frame like a clothes line, and donuts around your waist like you are going for a swim with a kid floatie, also known as Beer belly.. (and subsequently cutting your feet from view when you peer at the ground.)
Therefore, if you are horizontally challenged it obviously means you are finding it a challenge to attain what the majority of society prefers (skinny/slim/athletic..etc) and thus I am implying that you are fat.
Also meaning that you are at the negative to what is seen as 'normal'. So if normal is skinny, then the negative would be fat. IE: "Hey, I think you are negatively skinny!"
Then he argues that I just contradicted myself by saying 'negative' because if I was negative I would be skinny and compares it to 3+1=4 or some mathematically related equation which I cannot and CBB to recall from the convo histories.
WHAT THE DONKEY DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE DEFINITION OF HORIZONTALLY CHALLENGED?!
I am argueing my reasons on what horizontally challenged means and why it is so and he goes off talking about maths and the only relation numbers has to this is the number of inches which define your waist circumference.
I do get what he is sayng but that doesnt do much in supporting his reasons for saying that horizontally challenged means you are skinny.
Getting on, somehow we managed to get into the topic of male domination (because I said I smell the male ego creeping into this convo) and weather males or females are smarter. His arguement is that males are smarter and as anybody can see all or most of the world leaders are guys. PFFT.
Theres still that *beep beep beep* war in Iraq. World leaders in what? violence?
Ok I accept that both genders are different smart and dumb in their own ways but the current world sitch really just proves me right even more that if females took over in some areas we wouldnt be wasting time and money playing guns in the middle of Tim-Buk-Too.
BAH. My fingers tired.
and I still gotta do a retard accounting excercise in prep for tmrs test which I CBB as well.
Actually, Lerons not bad really. But I still beats him. =D
Postnote :
Did 2-way webcaming with Tom ytd and, so much for first impressions, my mum, unknown to me, was in the background picking for gold. (If you dont get that then I wont bother to explain)
Morale of the story :
Put a mirror next to your webcam in future to keep track of your behinds.
Or put up a screen of newspaper behind you.
As the subject of the webcam, you definitely deserve the other sides 100% attention.
BAH.
no more interesting story for today.
till we meet again, I leave you with this message
beware of webcamming backgrounds
