What is your biggest vice?

[KilroyCD]

Okay Loungers, what is your biggest vice? Here's mine:
http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z21/KilroyCD/100_0648.jpg

Oh wait a minute, that's a vise, not a vice. Oops, sorry! lol
I guess if a warped sense of humour is a vice, that's mine. However, I've heard other "vices" than smoke, drink or gambling put forth, such as chocolate. If that can be considered a vice, then I can honestly say chocolate (especially dark chocolate) is my biggest vice.

[retrogirl1941]

That must be why we get along so well! I am a chocoholic too!lol!

Kilroy, My Dear

Are the items in those boxes pre or post vise?
Chocolate or otherwise?

Though the contents may vary,
It's all rather scary,

To contemplate the contents,
And their creator's intent.

"A Warden", says he, "is all that I am."
I supect, however, that it's all a sham.

Further inquiry, I'm certain,
Could bring down the curtain.

For there's a Lady named Sam,
Whose proportions are glam,

Whose chums are all bent,
Not at all heaven-sent,

She lures the unwary,
Each Tom, Dick, And Harry.

And so I surmise,
Reenacting's a guise.

Oh, it seems sedentary,
And sometimes quite merry,

All vintage merriment,
Enticing each lady and gent,

With perambulator and pram,
Each character another "I am".

Some sleep in coaches, others in tents,
Each supposing their time well-spent,

But those who are wary,
Keep watch, and are chary.

Leading he who pries,
To an untimely demise.

Steven Wright rolls the microphone along a railing, then lets it thump against something and says, "Gutter. It took me three days to write that. I couldn't get the wording."

I'll put it bluntly. My greatest vice is SLOTH. It's infinitely worse than mere procrastination. But I do enjoy it.

[pennycarrol]

I've got vices like everyone in this world lol!!!!!!!!!!! Well for me it's a glass of white zinfandel (ros?© wine), a cigarette with ros?© champagne (especially the brand called Ruinart: one of the oldest french champagne!!!), foie gras, chocolate, music, poetry, laughs (I love to laugh!!), red lipstick, perfumes,...... Ohh and Chai tea also!!!!

Y'know the comment about "big guns"? Those are my biggest vice: a tendency toward obsessive study of any weapons system so large it has to be vehicle-mounted--show me those big 16"/50's on the Missouri ansd I go nuts...:eek:

Probably attempting to flirt when I don't have the means to back it up (although if I did I certainly would) is #2...

Can't forget #3: military miniatures and scale models. (Oh, I am so outed as a pathetic geek, aren't I?)

[Ms. McGraw]

It may sound like a silly vice, but since I don't smoke and almost never drink anymore, my vice has become shoes. When someone dies, I buy shoes. When I have a bad day, I buy shoes. When I'm happy and celebrating, I buy shoes. When I go on a trip and want a souvenir, I buy shoes. Some might argue that a shoe habit isn't a vice, but I think my "shoe tower" and the boxes stacked up anyplace I can find might change their minds. Please no Imelda Marcos jokes!

[Flivver]

Fried foods. Fried chicken, fried fish, fried cheese, fried dough. I don't care what it is, it tastes better wrapped in batter and dunked in hot grease.

It's fried foods for me too!

Why is it that the best tasting foods are always the worst for your health?

Being a 56 year old male, I try to minimize my intake of fried food. But when I do give in to fried fish, onion rings or potato chips they just taste *so* good!

Come to think of it, potato chips are my *biggest* vice...always have been. I give in to those far too often (hope my physician isn't a member here).

[$ally]

Coffee -- can't wake up without it.

[Dr Doran]

Coffee for me, too, but I don't consider that a vice.

Fried food: call me prissy, but I have to immediately wash my face and hands after touching or eating them. So I never eat them. I hate gross stuff on my skin. I can barely wear glasses -- I cannot tolerate something hooked behind my ears and sitting on the bridge of my nose. So this weakness has caused me to avoid fried foods, and I suppose I should be thankful for it.

By addiction to aether I meant addiction to being on the aether, i.e. an addiction to being on the internet.

Atticus, perhaps you're being a little cheeky and I'm missing it.

Well, having an uncontrollable urge is one thing, but actually doing it is another. Since I haven't heard a news report of anyone getting hurt (or worse :eek: ) diving into a vat of wet Mercury dimes (and you know that would be the outcome), I'm certain you haven't attempted it yet. So I would say that no, it's not a vice. But before it becomes one, seek help. lol

Hi Kilroy,

Yes, I was being "cheeky". I wouldn't really expect anyone to openly publish his or her more serious vices. But with a board membership now numbering in the thousands, I expect that there are some very interesting vices here.

Atticus

[Noindex]

My vices are simply the basics....in no particular order:

Gambling
Drinking
Philandering
Cigars

[Brinybay]

I'm an inveterate girl watcher. Sometimes a flirt.

Do you mean girls with no backbone, or that you have no backbone? Oh, wait, that's invertebrate. Never mind! [huh]

[KL15]

Biggest vice...cigars and sports cars.

[Fletch]

Procrastination
eBay
Bulletin boarding
Women's legs
Cheap music
Oral gratification

[LadyStardust]

Ebay is a huge vice for me, but I've been better about that lately. I would say impulse buying, and an "instant gratification" mentality in general are my biggest vices, which I really try to curb and do away with.
Other vices I have are excessive, almost crippling shyness, and alternately being overly blunt about nearly everything. :eusa_doh: :(

[Warbaby]

Shopping.

[kysaddletramp]

horses..........not betting but riding (with my Stetson Rancher, of course!

Hats
Baked goods...yummy!

There are others, but I'd be ashamed to admit them in public :p

[Snookie]

Baked goods...yummy!

This is my husband's, too...he's never met a cookie he didn't like! :) On the weekends we have to go to a local bakery at least once, if not both days. (But I can't say I fight this too much!)

Women's legs

Reading. That is, reading vintage SF, thrillers, and mysteries like there's no tomorrow. Nor work in the morning, nor grad school at night, nor homework or housework to do...

I have a tendency to get into a book and not come out till it's over. An antisocial and sometimes problematic thing, but I love it. I would rather read a good book than watch a movie any day.
Especially if it's set in the 30s and has good descriptions!

[JazzBaby]

Smoking like a trooper

Drinking like an Irishman lol

And I think my language may be less than ladylike more often than not :o

[Martinis at 8]

Okay Loungers, what is your biggest vice?...

Womanizing.

[kowalskt63]

Mine are Red Wine, and prescription pain killers... ;)

[drjones]

i have quite a few im ashamed to say....among them (nope...not telling all! :) ) are a good drink, Researching (just about interesting topics I am thinking about), Reading, Writing,.....the list goes on...:)

[Vintage lover]

My vices are; a good drink (martinis, scotch), the occasional cigar, fast cars, and just plain driving.

[CharlesB]

Coffee. If I were told I could either give up coffee OR i could give up smoking and drinking, Id put the packs and bottles away and just brew a nice cup of joe

[Hawkcigar]

A good dirty martini
Bourbon
Cigars
Jeeps
Women with dark hair
Women with nice smiles
Dark-haired women with a nice smile :)

How could one get through life without a few good vices?

[Delthayre]

Probably pipe smoking, if not that, then it must be cheese. It used to be root and birch beer, but I don't drink them nearly so often as I once did.

[Martinis at 8]

No other womanizers here? :eek:

[merkman]

Spending money on selfish entertainment,
my car,

Right now I'd have to say my biggest vice is recreational wine shopping. I didn't drink wine at all a few years ago, so now I feel I need to educate myself, which is proving expensive! I shop wine like other women shop for clothes - whenever I have a sec and some cash burning a hole in my pocket. A bottle here, a bottle there...I never buy a more than I can carry at least!

and yet, there is still no wine in the house for long!

Whisky, port and good red wine.

And the last week: Avocados! I've eaten 1-2 each day. I wonder if this vice isn't going to make me really fat in the long run.

[Harley Quinn]

Biggest vice...

Shopping. I am the world's worst person to take shopping. Like the shoes? Buy the shoes. In fact get two pairs... just in case you damage a pair... Like the dress? Cool. Get it... you don't want to because you yoyo in size, get your top size and bottom size in the style... you don't want to slim out of it now, do you?

I'm banned from lingerie shopping since I got married... the 'fashion show' being, shall we say, a temptation too far to place in the way of any man... who is, as any woman will tell you, a weak and silly creature... it was also the thing that attracted the present Mrs Quinn to me... I wasn't only interested... I had taste, too!:D

[Sunny]

And the last week: Avocados! I've eaten 1-2 each day. I wonder if this vice isn't going to make me really fat in the long run.
Avocados! OMNOMNOMNOMNOM.

[Darhling]

Extraordinary beautiful and very high shoes.

A bubblebath with dimmed lights, a glass of Asti and some mellow jazz playing. I am so sad that I don't have a bathtub in my apartment so this only happens when I travel and stay at a hotel.

Foie gras and black truffel sauce.

[Polka Dot]

Sinfully rich chocolate ice cream.
Procrastination.
Sleeping in really late on weekends.

[59Lark]

bad for talking too much,
gallons of java at my favourite retro diner, i could sit down at breakfast and they would keep bringing coffe, record there is twelve cups. coke cola only in small glass bottles, my grocer brings it in for me.. seven year old cheddar cheese, nippy please. time warping in my studebaker with period music, remember the scene in christine when they are cruising in the 57 plymouth and time goes backward, dont worry i dont chase and run punks down with the lark. yes we all need help but dont ask the sheep for advice. lark59.

[Slim Portly]

I smoke too much and I drink too little, but I think that with time and perseverance I should be able to reverse those two.

[freebird]

I suppose I've led a fairly clean life. I used to down 4-5 diet pepsi's at work, starting as soon as I got there at 6:00am and ending when I left at 4:00pm., but I no longer drink that much and I never missed it. Luckily I'm not an addictive personality, I've controlled my pain meds (lortab) so that I'm not addicted, and I can't say my pipe smoking is a vice, only smoke one to two bowls every 3 to 6 months. So I guess it's my razor, shaving mirror, shaving mugs and soap, cream and after shave's.

[KY Gentleman]

To quote an old Tom T. Hall song, "I Like Beer, it makes me a jolly good fellow...".

[miss_elise]

you mean apart from spending too much time here?


coffee, booze, food and sleep... all things i like to over indulge in

[64tonya]

Would it be a terrible faux pais to state the obvious? I'm hooked on vintage! I can't stop, I mean I have to admit I have a problem. Well, if I had unlimited money and closet space I guess it wouldn't be a problem...no, no, I have a problem...Damn all those e-bay enablers!

[jawisher]

I have plenty of vices, but my least favorite is my over-indulgence of food. I think at least half of my food intake is just sort of mindless passing of time. It's really pretty useless as vices go: not all that interesting, it doesn't lend itself to entertaining anecdotes, and I don't even have that many fascinating memories of the times I've overeaten.

Now alcohol... That's a respectible vice to have.

[Josephine]

Sloth. And I'm afraid I'm passing it on to my children. :/

[Madcap72]

Black beer and white women. Hmm sounds like a Tom Waits song....

That and Lucky Strikes.

Guess I'd better add flirting on the Ladies of the Lounge thread...if that's a vice;)

[MissS]

As we are all confessing...

Shopping (didn't see that one coming, did ya?)
Eating. Anything. Especially if it's cheese. Expensive. And smelly. And washed down with vintage dom.
Older men.

That's all I'm admitting to today.

[Slim Portly]

Older men.
This is an excellent vice, and one that I greatly encourage.

[rumblefish]

To quote an old Tom T. Hall song, "I Like Beer, it makes me a jolly good fellow...".

Here's to the man who drinks water pure and goes to bed quite sober.
He falls as the leaves to fall, he'll die before October.

Here's to the man who drinks dark ale and goes to bed quite mellow.
He lives as he ought to live, for he's a jolly good fellow.

One of the first songs I learned to sing. From my dad's Kingston Trio albums.

[KY Gentleman]

I've always liked The Kingston Trio, now I'll have to go find that tune!
(When I was little I listened to the song about Charlie and the MTA. Remember that one?).

[rmrdaddy]

Bourbon Whisky and cigars

[ScionPI2005]

Mine would probably have to be coffee...

I find if I don't have at least a few cups within a short time of getting up in the morning, my day just doesn't feel right; and the cobwebs never completely leave my skull...:rolleyes:

Isn't it for all of us? Sigh, too bad I wouldn't know how to back it up even if the opportunity sauntered up, threw her arms around me and planted one square on the lips...:o


you minx you!
Look who's talking, dear lady...;)

[miss_elise]

[dahliaoleander]

Extraordinary beautiful and very high shoes.

A bubblebath with dimmed lights, a glass of Asti and some mellow jazz playing. I am so sad that I don't have a bathtub in my apartment so this only happens when I travel and stay at a hotel.

Foie gras and black truffel sauce.

Ditto..

BTW this just put me in a trance at the idea of lounging in a bath with Frankie on the radio and...... :eusa_doh: OK I'm Back. :rolleyes:

Naama

[ortega76]

Vices?

1. Cigars. I get a lot of guff about this in my home town. I live in a college town with a lot of "progressives" (I call them hippies) who have the habit of sticking their noses in other people's business. Giving me the stink eye because I'm smoking a cigar on a bench in a public park (away from the play area) while reading a book is a good way to catch a smack. Mind your own business. Hey, there are lot of social justice issues I think are absolutely critical so don't take this as a condemnation of liberals.

2. Sneakers. Specifically Converse All Stars. I collect them and have several dozen.

3. Sonic. I'm so addicted to their ability to add flavors to their fountain drinks. It's close to my house so I always seem to end my work day with a vanilla Coke.

4. Colonel Seasons (http://www.kernelseasons.com/) popcorn flovorings. I've been a fan of these since one of the theaters near my house started having these available for their popcorn.

Well, like the song said...

"I've been looking for an original sin
One with a twist and a bit of a spin
And since I've done all the old ones
Till they've all been done in
Now I'm just looking
And I'm gone with the wind
Endlessly searching for an original sin..."

I can relate to that! I fought live steel for 15 years. I gave it up several years ago when my health took a turn for the worse. I still miss it (still have all my gear though :D).

My biggest vice is cigars followed by single malt scotch and premium bourbon.
As for my obsession with books, bass guitars and firearms, those are hobbies not vices. :D

[Black Dahlia]

Biggest vice? I don't think I can say that here....

So...I'll just say consuming too much...coffee. Not a vice in the purest sense, I realize. And getting, ah, er, rowdy when intoxicated and swearing like a sailor.

Being from the South, mine would be Sweet Tea. Bad thing is that I am a diabetic and should not drink it. I still do on occasion. Nothing like a good ice cold glass of sweet tea.

It almost started the war all over again. LOL
