Random Thought To Ponder (Updated Whenever I Feel Like It)
[edit]After not being on Wikipedia for a while, I'm pleased that That Guy is gone.
Introduction
[edit]Hello. I'm The Scumbag.
Scumbag? Isn't that an insult?
[edit]My real name is Chris, but my friends have called me Scumbag for the better part of 3 years. Now, I'm sure you're asking why I made my name Scumbag, or pissed off about how its offensive.
I'll try to explain it the best I can, without being too long and boring. Way back when, I would play a game with friends of mine. Eventually, I realized that I sucked at playing it, and knew fairly early on when I would lose. So, I'd concede. I didn't mean anything by it; I just hate to lose.
Of course, it pissed off a couple friends of mine. So they decided to call me Scumbag until I stopped conceding in games. At that point, yes, it was an offensive punishmenmt.
Time passes. I start getting a little bit better at the games, and I stop conceding so much. By that time, however, people had gotten used to calling me Scumbag. Hell, I had begun to introduce myself, within the context of my friends, as Scumbag. So, I decided that Scumbag was a fine nickname for me, and it's been that way ever since.
It's weird, I sometimes have to do a double-take when I see someone get offended by the nickname. For me, the term has done a metamorphosis from an disrespectful insult to a title of honor and dignity. If you'll forgive the bit of boasting, I'd like to quote a small conversation I overheard once:
(Setting: I had just did something nice for someone I didnt know, and some friends saw me do it)
Friend: "Good work, Scumbag!"
New Guy: "Wait... he did something good, and you call him a scumbag? That's the most -"
Friend: "Dude, that guy changed the {expletive}ing definintion of the word Scumbag."
Articles I Tend To Edit
[edit]I tend to edit computer game related articles, mainly because that's what I know most about. When it comes to reading Wikipedia (which I believe people need to do more of, perhaps a 2:1 ratio), I read just about anything I feel like. I guess you could say I browse Wikipedia the same way people use Urban Dictionary - they get the idea of something, punch it in, and read about it.
Sandboxen
[edit]These are sandboxes. INAE was done here so I could get the right HTML for something else, but I've kept it here cuz it's easy to edit this copy here. The rest? I just use 'em for whatever.
