I don't plan to get any more peircings. The one ear is enough for me. But I am planning several tatts.

I like the bit about how dangerous it is to have an anus in your rectum.

At 20 I feel like a bit of an underachiever, especially since I'm over 40. It makes me want to get a tatoo and dye my hair. And maybe try the anal sex.

I would much rather rot in hell sitting around having tea with the likes of Albert Einstein and Carl Sagan, than sitting in heaven with bible-thumping-holier-than-thou proselytizers.

Send me to hell in a handbasket, thank you very much.

Bingo!

I always say that hell's where all my mates will be/are, while heaven will be full of "I told you so" pious twats.

No contest.

Except for being any religion (other than Catholic and atheist) and the stuff that doesn't require a sex change, I've done everything on the list too. Well, I don't have any ink yet.

I think my cat came from Hell in the first place, so he'll be fine in the lower nine.

Masturbation covers sex toys. The toys, at least lots of them just add batteries to the mix.

Tattoos are so off my list as I am a major pain wuss. I've fibromyalgia, so I deal with enough of the painful bits. I've pierced ears in which I regularly wear 'fish hook' earings, and the elbows go bare nearly all the time.

Presumably you get tortured in hell so eternity would be agony puncuated by brief moments of nerd squee:


AAAAARGH! THE FIRE...IT BURNS!!!! NO MORE! I...BEG..YOU! AAAAAAAAA...

Hey, is that Edwin Hubble?

Blast, only 27. But then, I'm a guy. If we take it to appreciating girls showing their elbows and working, or (especially) showing cleavage, etc., I'm up to 34. Am I winning?

Tattoos aren't that painful (lie). The first one I got, halfway through it felt like I was getting a message (truth).

Nah, for punishment you will be forgiven, sent to heaven and spend eternity being condescended to and patronised by Christians.

No, they are all just one sin.

I reckon if I can just get to watch three more of those stations I can get to 36.

Holding Hands before Marriage - Idem.

Having Anal Sex - Oh, come on!
Having Oral Sex - Oh, cooome ooonnnn!
Being Homosexual - I reallly love to watch myself in the mirror... does that make me gay? Or just an insecure personality?
Judging People - I really hate people who judge! Who the hell do they think they are? With their opinions and points of view... They should all be sent to Treblinka... and gay people as well. I mean, I have nothing against gay people but let's face it... who wants to see a live one? Alive... Nobody! Unless you're a fag! Are you a fag? Don't you know you're disrespecting Jesus Christ? You blasfemer! You sinner! You atheist! You will accept my doctrine of peace and tolerance even if for that I have to smack your head on the ground! ... No, I'm not judgemental.
Being Selfish - That is MY question.

Watching BET - Not my thing.
Watching MTV - Not my usual thing.
Watching VH1 - Not my thing.

Associating With Hollywood - I'm an actor. My association with HW is simply non-existent. I'm an indie guy, I do it for the Arrrt!!! (Shreds a silent tear...)
Listening to “Gangsta Rap”, Techno, Christian Bands, and Rock and Roll - I'm deaf. Thanks for the reminder.
Believing in Evolution - What is there to "believe"?
Being Catholic - Does imitating Marylin Manson's Bible Shredding on Christma's Eve when I was 12 count as non-catholic? Because from what I gather Marilyn Manson and Ozzy Osbourne are catholics... so... I don't know where I'm going with this one... and I could just erase the answer and start a new one... Yes... Yes, I could...
Being Jewish - Nein.
Being Buddhist - I'm more buddihst than the buddhists.
Being Methodist - I stopped using it years ago. It was ruining my dentition.
Being Protestant - I protest a lot. (OK, this was a cheesy one..)
Being Mormon - NO! NOOOO! NOOOOOO!!!!! Ok? NOOO!!
Being Muslim - See answer above? Copy-paste it to a Word file, then change the font size to 7500. Print it. Look at it for hours. Redo the process four times. There's my answer.
Being Hindu - I smoke Hashish... thank Shiva and all that... ieeey... that's the highest amount of Hindu I can get. (Ahahah... highest... good double-entendre... i mean... what?... oh...)
Being Agnostic - There's a lot of things I just don't know.
Being Atheist - What's that?... Not believing in God? What's God? (hears the explanation. Laugh his ass off for 40 days and 40 nights.) Well, yes, I guess that makes an atheist, alright.
Being a Woman - I'm lucky dreams don't count as actions.
Being In a Sorority or Fraternity - I don't like other people.
Owning a Pet - Yes, a lovely kitty.
Sin, Have Sinned, or Plan on Sinning in the Future - I don't conceive sin. So, I guess that makes me a non-sinner.

Humm... I wonder where Hunter S. Thompson, Mark Twain, Spalding Gray and Oscar Wilde wonder about?

Heaven? Or hell?

Curses, I have been outsinned.

Oh, right. I already had cursing checked off. I'll have to think of something more sinful to get back in the running.

Yep, associating with Hollywood, getting a tattoo, or joining a bunch of different religions! pretty much the only vices I haven't tried yet

p.s. don't worry, you're STILL the Top Sinner as far as I'm concerned

Thanks, I think.

And what the heck does it mean to "associate" with Hollywood? Do I have to buy it drinks or something?

Watch a Hollywood movie, that should be enough.

Does it count if I smoked pot a few times, but each time got sick as a dog (hence the few times)?

Does the self-piercing experiment at age 15 count instead of a tattoo?

Oh, okay. I never actually filled this out, and I'm home with a sprained foot.

Pot Smoking - Did not inhale. Does speed twice a day count? Probably not, since it's by prescription.
Cigarette Smoking - Nope. Never.
Alcohol Drinking - Not for years. (I wonder if this means currently or ever?)
Guitar Playing - Yes. Not very well.
Having a Tattoo - No.
Showing Cleavage - Yeees.. it's been known to happen....
Showing Bellybuttons - This too...
Girls Showing Their Knees - ""

Groping Breast before Marriage - Yes
Having Premarital Sex - Yes
Masturbation - Oh, okay, yes
Having Anal Sex - No, actually
Having Oral Sex - Yes to that one
Being Homosexual - This question is kind of limiting. Do you have to actually be straight-up and exclusively gay/lesbian in order to go to hell? Well, probably not, so yes to this one too.
Judging People: Yes. But I'm always right.
Being Selfish: Not a lot. But if this means EVER, then yes.
Playing Sports - Yes.
Women Working - Yes.
Watching BET - yes
Watching MTV - Yes-- recently and guiltily hooked on Jersey Shore
Watching VH1 - Yes-- it's been a while, but there is no statute of limitations
Watching TNT - Yes.
Associating With Hollywood - I'm not sure if they mean just going to movies, associating with the sinister Hollywood cabal, or having your picture taken with a star on Hollywood Boulevard. Yes, no,and yes.
Listening to “Gangsta Rap”, Techno, Christian Bands, and Rock and Roll - Yes to all. My Sirius/XM radio is permanently set on Area/BPM/Strobe. (Why Christian bands,I wonder? Although many of them would make anyone want to GO to hell in order to avoid listening to them.)
Believing in Evolution - Yes. Gould/Eldridge's version, of course.
Being Catholic - No, but I went to Catholic school.
Being Jewish - No, but I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood.
Being Buddhist - No, but when I was a baby, I lived in a Buddhist commune.
Being Methodist - I taught Wesley Methodist Sunday school when I was 14.
Being Protestant - I think that counts.
Being Mormon - I was baptized Mormon. According to them, that will ALWAYS count.
Being Muslim - No.
Being Hindu - No.
Being Agnostic - A very confusing word. Pass.
Being Atheist - Pass. "Non-theist" is a better term.

Being In a Sorority or Fraternity -No. (Why this one??)
Owning a Pet - Yes, two cats.
Sin, Have Sinned, or Plan on Sinning in the Future. - Yes, because apparently this is impossible to avoid.


That was 38. Apparently, I should reserve my room in hell right now. Someplace with a view of the lake of fire would be nice.

That's probably okay, but be careful if Hollywood tries to put its hand on your knee...
