In Reply to: Top 10 list for type nines - From a 9 this time! posted by Alias on December 03, 2000 at 06:55:22:
> This is the *complete* type 9 list including my edited version and flatmate's (eventual) rendering which follows. So there are two lists here - read on.

> Top ten list of indications that you might be a type 9:
> Original edition:
> You don't understand why people find Homer Simpson funny (Does nothing all day, 'Hmm.... Doughnuts')
> Contrary to popular opinion you have no trouble saying 'N...nn...nnn...nnn....nu.' (Translation: No.)
> You never, ever get angry, and if you'll kill anyone who disagrees.
> You prove your decisiveness by taking just three months to choose the wallpaper.
> When pouring coffee at the local Church someone says, "Coffee, and fast" then joins the longer queue when they see it's you serving.
> It's obvious to you that the three basic elements for survival are food, food and food.
> When your flatmate insults you by suggesting that you live only for vast quantities of chocolate you rebuke him harshly for forgetting the need for QUALITY..
> You regard romance as a waste of energy.
> People say you blend in at parties but you don't care as long as you can get to the food.
> You get your type 4 flat mate to help compose this list and then get him to type it and send it.
>
> Alternative Version
> 1 - You don't see what's so funny about the way Homer Simpson does nothing all day and is only interested in food
> 2 - Despite what people say, you have no difficulty saying "Nnn....nn....nnnnn..nnn ....."
> 3 - Rather than delete your flatmate's efforts at a 'Top 10,' you offer an "Alternative Version"
> 4 - Of course you're decisive - it only took 3 months to choose the new wallpaper
> 5 - You start smoking pot - and no-one can tell the difference
> 6 - Your labrador has 4 thoughts, 1 for each paw: food, food, sex and food. But you consider this an unnecessary dilution of resources
> 7 - You're only doing this because your flatmate got bored waiting for you and had his own go first
> 8 - Of course you're going to tidy your room again - when the Queen has her next Silver Jubilee
> (one for us Brits, there ... )
> 9 - This is all getting to be a bit much effort ...
