Christopher Hitchens' 'overrated' poll

also ~lyfe~

woah, life and anal are both great, don't know what observational commedian stole my login above. sorry guys :(

lyfe and anal are both great, they give us chocolate cake

risotto is worse than these tbh

risotto is cool but its just flavored rice and doesnt compare to anything on the list

Hitchens obv had a restrictive definition of what constitutes a picnic. For me it is eating any meal outdoors without a waiter/waitress.

1) Outdoors is a nice place.
2) Eating is pleasant.
3) No tipping required.

Sounds like a little piece of paradise to me.

i know right, bring some lobster and champagne even

champagne is awesome also jho otm about chris hitchens. hero to most a few but he never meant shit to me.

yeah i appreciate ppl who can write coherently and drink fabulously but i can generally get that on ilx without the warmongering, etc.

i guess the outpouring of whatever seems slightly less weird to me than that for steve jobs, tho.

people's remembrances of him have been moving. it is jerky of me to say idgi at this particular moment, i know. i don't get the great stylist thing either, tbh; the stuff i've read by him seemed overwritten.

cool

never received anal. abstaining.

it was very important that i expressed myself on this point in a thread about something else entirely

it's ilx, horseshoe

people act like nobody's hated this hitchens guy before or something. he was around for a long time. long enough to be hated, that's for sure.

i over-ated at a picnic once. way too much potato salad.

Champagne is overrated if you're living in North America, but not so in France. It's far cheaper, and the cult around it is subdued... there, I'd say it's rated correctly. With oysters, it's divine. For a man such as Hitchens, who could travel to France, and bring with him home a 25 E bottle of Lermandier-Bernier, and share it with friends on a holiday? I would've urged Hitch to reconsider.

Anal sex between homosexual men is rated exactly correctly. Within the boundaries of a heterosexual relationship, it has been quite underestimated and underrated, so I've been told

Picnicking with children is overrated, but its close cousins "al fresco" and "street food on a park bench" seem to acquit it?

In contrast, a lobster meal requires the diner to forcibly tear apart the cruelly executed carcass of an exoskeletous rat, gingerly extracting a single mouthful of meat while avoiding cloaca, before sucking at its feelers in desperation.

Within the boundaries of a heterosexual relationship, it has been quite underestimated and underrated, so I've been told

good potato salad is so grebt

You told me!

But is good potato salad all that good with champagne, lobster, on a picnic... or up the bum?

Anal sex the clear loser there

I never had good potato salad up the bum tbh (I know right) but I think you are right

I thought we were talking about a sequential relationship between variables

1) Outdoors is a nice place.
2) Eating is pleasant.
3) No tipping required.

Sounds like a little piece of paradise to me.

are we still talking about anal sex

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Twelve people who think picnics are overrated... sandbox results, jeez

any picnic run by my family of origin is a guaranteed heart sinker.

touché, but that goes for a lot of things done by family of origin tbh

not anal sex tho.

anal sex with family isn't a heart sinker for you?

Q: are we voting for our favorite or most overrated, clarify asap

A: Fave rave.

I interpret this as meaning 12 people think picnics are the best of the options presented. Which is how I voted.

Anal sex is underrated if anything!
