Guilty or Not Guilty

[Rucio, Emperor of Cheese]

Guilty, though it kinda still feels like cheating since I rent from her at the moment.

 

The next poster has played DDR in the past 5 years.

[Old Dirty Bastard]

Not guilty.

 

The next poster still owns a non- smartwatch wristwatch. 

[WritesNaughtyStories]

Not guilty, but only by virtue of not having owned a wristwatch at all since about 1978.

Next poster owns real estate.

[Nate7]

Not guilty, or like maybe? I own a house

Next poster has a fridge full of leftovers.

Guilty. I am an American on the weekend after Thanksgiving Day. But next year, I'm planning on having WAY less.

Next poster hates how much the holidays are about consumption and corporate profits.

[Nate7]

Very guilty. Can't stand it. Not supposed to go broke on the holidays. Also peoples ugly side shows fr.

Next person is a winter baby. (Born in the cold months)

[Reasoned]

Guilty. I saw 50 cm of snow at two weeks old. And I had my first sled ride at 1 month old. Good times... (I don't remember shit, but I saw the pictures.)

 

The next poster has some sort of winter decorations up.

[WritesNaughtyStories]

Guilty, but again, under duress - my family loves the shit. In part, I'm sure, because I grumble about it endlessly. I love seeing them happy, but I give not a single fuck for the holidays beyond our annual family get together.

Next poster loves the holidays - the rituals, the traditions, the decorations, Christmas music blasting from shitty store speakers, the whole fucking mess.

[Rexyon]

Not Guilty, if I never hear Mariah again, it will be too soon. But overall the only thing I like is, city planning for my town is crap, a lot of places are really dark on the street, btu having extra lights outside for Christmas helps it be a little more hospitable at night. Also stores are insufferable around this time of year

Next poster has a good relationship with extended family (aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.)

Lost the quickdraw standoff for first post submitted in under 3 seconds.

[WritesNaughtyStories]

Ha ha! I think I snuck in ahead of you @Rexyon

Not guilty. Most of my parents generation have died and those that remain I haven't seen in years. My cousin's all live hundreds of thousands of miles away so I don't see them either.

Next poster has a relative they're glad they don't see any more.

[Rexyon]

It is common @WritesNaughtyStories but it has been fixed.

Guilty. I will spare you the extensive details, but family did fracture at one point and some of my sisters are, well best we stay away.

The next poster actually plans ahead for Christmas or the holidays accordingly.

[WritesNaughtyStories]

Oh, I know. I'm the biggest offender. That's why I was so excited - nice to not be the only culprit.

Guilty. We have a big family-do every year. Games, prizes, food.

Next poster knows they're going to procrastinate too long on their holiday shopping.

[Nate7]

Guilty. Last min. Shopper here fr.

Next person is great at wrapping gifts.

[Rexyon]

Not Guilty, I dont think I am, but if you ask the people around me, I am. Last year I tied ribbons around the presents which people liked. I think I only use like, 3 pieces of tape to keep the wrapping paper together and it holds up well, dont know if that is good.

Next poster puts gifts in gift bags and seals the top so they dont have to wrap things individually.

[IsabellaRose]

Not guilty. I'm a paper and bows and curled ends of ribbon kind of gift wrapper. I like to make them so pretty you almost don't want to open them. 

 

The next person shaves or trims hair in their private areas no one else usually sees.

[Chuck89]

Not guilty. I've never shaved down there.

 

Next poster has gotten all their Christmas shopping done already 

[WritesNaughtyStories]

Not guilty. Hopefully tomorrow.

The next poster prefers the show or movie of a famous novel or series despite what the purists say.

[IsabellaRose]

Hmm. I'd have to think that one over to be 100% certain, but I think NOT Guilty. I'm a book lover, and even when I love a movie, I always seem to get a little bit more out of the book. I'm sure there's an exception somewhere, though.

 

The next person is desperately waiting for a live or animated adaptation of their favorite book/manga/comic/etc.

[Pixel]

Not guilty. I got Iron Man and I didn't know I needed Big Hero 6 until it happened, so I'm good tbh. It would be cool to see the Golden Bat again tho.

The next poster prefers newer adaptations of their favorite stories to the original adaptations (example: IT)

[IsabellaRose]

Sometimes guilty, sometimes not. Guilty for IT, anything Marvel from the 70s vs the newer stuff, Shazam, Wonder Woman, DC animation... Not guilty for The Stand. That new adaptation fell flat for me.

 

The next person prefers Iron Man over Batman.

[WritesNaughtyStories]

Not guilty. I'm a comic shop veteran and don't like most superheroes. Marshall Law is an exception but he's nothing really a superhero and gets pissy when people call him that.

Next poster prefers Love and Rockets (the comic, not the band) to R. Crumb.

[IsabellaRose]

That almost feels aimed at me. I feel like Hopey and Maggie are so relatable. I started reading those in the mid 90s (maybe late 90s?) so I am absolutely GUILTY.

 

The next person prefers tea over coffee.

[Rexyon]

Guilty, I am a leafy one over a beany one, sorry, not sorry.

The next poster enjoys drinking Whiskey neat.

[WritesNaughtyStories]

Guilty/Not Guilty. in the morning, espresso and black coffee. Go so far as to roast my own beans if time permits. Love it. Afternoon and evening, white tea or earl grey.

Next poster likes sweet frappes that get called coffee.

Another pile up, caused by @WritesNaughtyStories.

Not guilty, but I used to be. Single malt Islay scotch and small batch bourbon. But I'm retired.

Next poster likes sweet frappes that get called coffee.

[Nate7]

Not guilty, I like my coffee black. 

Next person goes to a coffee shop everymorning rather than make their own.
