Where is the "Boobies" option?

All DMF polls are required to have a "Boobies" option.

Pessimist is the way to go...an optimist can never be "pleasantly surprised".   ;D

Exactly. This is why I asked to see the glass first. Till I see and measure the glass, I can not answer the question. Ergo, even asking the question is a fallacy.

I'm an engineer too. Give it time...you'll be a pessimist eventually!  [laugh]

i like to consider myself a realist "it is what it is"

but, to be honest i am such a pessimist that i dont even like the glass containing said liquid.
Favorite convo i read on this board
"PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN"
"F**K U IT HAPPENED"

Suzuki Blvd M109R " Sliver " = assassinated by cager
PW 696 " Pearl " = traded in
M1100 " Loki " = Viking God of mischief ( Goddess in this case )
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty pristine body, but rather to come in sliding sideways all used up screaming F*CK YEAH WHAT A RDIE!!

It could be that my pessimism about optimism doesn't stop me from be optimistic about pessimism being the better point of view. But I doubt it.

Half-full or half-empty has nothing to do with optimism or pessimism...

It has to do with whether you're pouring into or out of the glass.

What I really think is that if you are willing to define yourself in such broad terms you are a make the beast with two backsing retard. If you have chosen to view everything in life in a positive light you are an idiot. If you are view everything as a potential disaster you are equally nutty.

The question is false. The poll is stupid. And this entire conversation is a waste of time. We might just as well argue whether yellow or blue is the better color.

While their judgment will be colored by a zillion and one factors including one's current mood, most people judge situations individually. NOT using some ridiculously broad ethos of "optimism" or "pessimism." To do so would be moronic.

I vote boobies.

Same as saying "where are the boobies?!"
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.
