So far, no good, as far as making any money on freerolls is concerned.
While I do intend on playing more tonight, I need some way of dealing with this frustration situation.
And so, in light of this, I've decided to create a series of articles entitled "People," in which I will tell you what to think about your fellow man.
Tonight's People: "Flossers"
Flossing is not the dental procedure that
can add 6.4 years to your life-span if performed daily (though it's not entirely clear that anyone actually does this). Rather, flossing, in laymen's terms, essentially means to show off.
Contrary to popular belief, flossing is a plague that can affect people of any race, gender, age group, and persuasion. While rappers may be the ones who throw this term around with the most frequency, and are most often pictured wearing
huge,
extravagant, and
overcompensatory chains, the term is not exclusive to them.
For instance, when your
grandfather buys something flashy- lets say it's the new
iPhone- and runs up to you saying, "hey young whippersnapper, look what I just spent my Social Security savings on," your grandfather is flossing. Not only is he showing off an iPhone that you don't have, but thanks to our economy, he's also showing off a great deal of
Social Security money that you won't ever see either. Just take solace in the fact that you will inevitably be seeing the phone again when he asks you where the numbers are when he wants to make a call for the next month or so.
Flossers seem to think that by showing off their wealth and items of worth, they thereby increase their worth as a member in society. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Sure, having the means to buy a nice car, some jewlery, a cool phone, and whatever else you might desire, is great. It's great to live comfortably, there's no doubt about that. However, when you
start doing stupid things like spending money simply to show off, you're asking for someone to get jealous, and thereby get pissed at you.
Flossing is a lot like waving a dollar bill in front of a homeless person; not only would you be a tremendous douchebag, but with any luck, you'd soon have a bitten hand, and perhaps rabies.
The point is, there's nothing wrong with liking and possessing nice things. Showing them off, however, is something you might want to do in moderation.
Rappers have bodyguards for a reason: a good deal of them make a career of flossing, and if you can do that for a living, more power to ya. As for the rest of us, let me just say this: you're not distracting anyone from the fact that the only way you'll be associated with a huge prick is by acting like one.
