[charlie chong]

[Drachenherz]

Hey Charlie, congratz man! Just keep standing up whenever you fall, no matter how many times it takes!

You have my biggest respect and my sincerest wishes for your wellbeing!

[Sumez]

Man it's hard to get a decent picture of yourself.

Especially when you're trying hard to get that sweet 1210 into the shot with you.

[Sumez]

Also, wow, definitely some interesting characters on this forum in general. I feel perfectly normal and boring right now.

Hey hey hey, whaddup dudes!?

Sooo, how was the Assassins Creed I cosplay?

Yeah, it was really good. I am no fan, however, but I am more like a member of a rock band. It is a picture from our party btw. And for some reason, I am the youngest member in this forum.

Too add something more, I am the coolest person among my college friends.

[drauch]

[Sumez]

I can't figure out who is who now because I don't look at names, all I recognise is someone's avatar.

[jonny5]

And here's one from a few years back

Everybody loves a pornstar!

You still skate? I ride xsjado's too !

Guilty as charged! If I'd tried a bit harder I could have probably got both and a clearer shot of the pmc07


Pic from when I first set everything up there. It's looking a bit more organized now, cables running in a sane fashion and whatnot.

Yep! Though not as much as I should I've sort of been having a hard time managing all my hobbies this year. Doesn't help that I blew out 2 sets of wheels in about 6 sessions. There have been a bunch of times I really wanted to go skate and couldn't because I haven't picked up any new ones. I also do a bit of flatland bmx, used to skateboard a bunch, snowboard when I can.

Once you go to xsjados there's no going back, even if you want to! Those baseplates spoil you so bad, I wouldn't ride anything else unless I could put a xsjado plate on it haha.

You make it sound like men and women are completely different species. The human body is designed to function with both types of hormones (in fact, all men start out as women early in development). So long as the human body has a normal amount of either type, it can function normally. That's something completely different than having low/high levels of both, or a serious imbalance.

You're not getting it. Men and women have the same hormones, but they require different balances of those same hormones. If women have too much testosterone to the point that they grow facial hair and whatnot, then that's a serious imbalance. If you're taking estrogen to the point where you're growing manboobs to look girly, then that too is a serious imbalance. As long as you have a normal amount of hormones that your gender requires, it will function normally. Thus my concern. But hey, if you're under the guidance of an endocrinologist and a shrink, then have at it.

Charlie, don't forget meat and bread while you recover. Also, the rubber octopus is hilarious, where I can get one?

My daughter has that exact same octopus bath toy. It squirts water. Everyone I respect and admire has one. Where's yours?

Please do!

Okay...

[Davey]

Me holding up a block of gummy bears that melted into a single disgusting brick. Also, male pattern baldness FTL... I don't think I've posted in one of these threads without a hat in a few years.

Anybody care to guess which MLB player I've been told I resemble?

[RNGmaster]

John Olerud? I actually was best friends with his nephew, so that's the first thing that came to mind.

And tino can't be the youngest on the forum. There's me (16.5) and Treasurance (a year younger IIRC).

I didn't know you were into New Age quack medicine, greg.

They come for the PCBs... stay for the cock.

Nope. It's a current player.

[Cuilan]

no fapping unless you have a vaginea.i'll make an exception for cuilan tho cos he's that fruity i don't give a fuck

I tend to prefer women in the looks department, but as far as men go, you don't really look like my type. Maybe try growing your hair out and then we'll talk.

You're not getting it.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

As long as you have a normal amount of hormones that your gender requires, it will function normally.

I guess I should explain this to you in a more direct manner : A male body can continue functioning normally if the hormone levels are altered to be just like a woman's (an maintained at those levels). The opposite is also true (although I think the process is more difficult for women). What can lead to abnormal function, is if the hormone levels are left "somewhere in between", or extremely elevated/diminished in either or both directions (those are actual imbalances). This is likely to happen if hormones are consumed without medical supervision. The imbalance that you experienced and continually bring up is something quite different from what I'm going through and talking about.

I'm getting the impression that you refuse to really educate yourself on this specific subject, or even try to understand what I've been posting (I recommend reading my reply to undamned's post if you haven't done so), and if that's the case then I see no reason to continue replying to you on this subject.
