I’m surprised by this. Are you joking or being ironic?

Serious. I don't see myself exactly AS an Eeyore type and didn't intend to trivialize straight-up depression, but I relate to Eeyore's depression, nihilism, and negativity. I have Eeyore-like thoughts all the time. I probably deal with them with humor vs getting outright blue. I do feel day to day like I'm never succeeding and stuck, hence that particular GIF. I don't necessarily feel like it's particularly my fault. It's a hell of a world we live in. I don't really know how anybody could get by day-to-day without a little Eeyore popping into their head.

Anyways, I hope that makes sense.

Yeah, man. Thanks for sharing that.

I couldn’t find a suitable image of Geeker from Project G.e.e.k.e.r, but that character is the best match for me that I could think of. I always feel like I’m annoying the people around me with my seemingly naive optimism, my corny sense of humor, and my slightly autistic way of having a hard time at reading the mood of a room or person.

I found this. It kind of helps.

what makes am an turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?!

my other favorite Zapp quote is: Unfortunately I suffer from a very sexy learning disability. Kif, what do I call it?

I relate pretty strongly with kif too.

Makes sense to me. After seeing your post I considered saying Winnie the Pooh was the character I identified with the most. But really, I probably think of my self as half Pooh, a quarter Eeyore, a quarter Owl.

Eh. We all have at least a little Pooh in us. Some more than most.

*a Rabbity look at Q-Stone*

Well, that went places.

HAPPY HUMP DAY!!!!

What are the best movie scenes where someone is barefoot?

Not the best, but one of the more memorable ones:

Pretty much every scene in Tangled. Rapunzel eschews shoes. For example:

Does "someone" have to be human? Otherwise every movie with a wookie, hobbit, anthropomorphic animal, or pretty much any monster with feet qualifies.

Anyways, you don't really see it in this part, but the Wives are all barefoot. It ends up being relevant right after this clip ends.

Edit: And I started writing this before LouZiffer's post, I was thinking of the LotR movies as well.

HAPPY HUMP DAY!!

What is your favorite scene in a sports movie?

(BTW I have trouble keeping up with this thread. Don't hesitate to post a question on Wednesdays or send me suggestions!)

It;s not oscar material or anything, but it's goofy and funny

"I'm not gonna show you my gun."

An f-bomb, or 2:

Quack...quack...quack...

Necessary Roughness when the ref has to call out the penalties. I just crack up every time.

Tin Cup on the last hole with the best 12 in make-believe golf history.

Also, pretty much the entire movie of Draft Day is still one of my favorite sports movies.
