at jodi’s suggestion
I am guilty on both accounts
elitist - absolutely!
How can anyone think there is a better guitar player than jerry garcia? I mean really people!
How can people ski anywhere else than Mad River Glen?
How can people fish in fresh water with bait? philistines i say!
as for the asshole part I am a lawyer after all
I’ll play.
Elitist- sure why not
Guitar player- are you serious? Hendix any day of the week followed by santana
ski- never done much of it, water, now thats a different story
fishing- if it comes from fresh water, its not fishing.
Being an asshole. Yup, guilty as charged.
I was called an arrogant bastard by a commuter for not calling “on your left” this morning. (We had a “discussion” re: the various merits and pitfalls of “on your left”)
Can I get a ruling?
I think the difference between “Arrogant Bastard” and “Elitist Asshole” is mainly that I ski at SB and Jay as opposed to MRG.
I’ll play.
I’m mostly Elitist about beer–unless I’m really thirsty. Ha…
Guitar – Clapton and Mark Knopfler doesn’t get enough credit.
Beer – Bell’s. Victory. Jolly Pumpkin. Dogfish Head.
well if you only ski north of route 4 it does say something about you
and I think arrogant bastard and elitist asshole are in the same neighborhood
.
Satriani, stevie ray vaughn…both better than Jerry. Jerry puts me to sleep…
Elitist: Narcissistic A-Type who believes if your time is slow you didn’t train enough. Check.
Guitar: Prefer Stevie Ray Vaughan
Ski: Double Blacks my first day out (at 13 nonetheless 
Fishing: Been out deep sea fishing once. Caught the most fish on the boat.
A-hole: My wife calls me the tin man (due to the lack on a real heart). Check.
Good times, let’s have more threads where I can talk about myself.
All my friends say I’m elitist!
Of course relatively little of the music I like has a real guitarist (or one worth noting if they do) but I’ve always felt Alex Lifeson was underrated.
Ski? Don’t you know all the cool kids are snowboarding!
Yeah. I get freaked out enough seeing fish under me in open water (look a tri reference to keep it on topic), why would I want any more interaction? 
My brother actually introduces himself to people as an asshole: “Hi, I’m Pete and I’m an asshole.” But he’s much better at it than I am.

I was an elitist a-hole until I got passed on the bike by that chick wearing birkenstocks riding a twenty year old rusty bike. Since then I have cut it back to just being an a-hole.
Elitist confession:
I’m a food snob. There, I said it. I can’t eat instant rice and I give my parents a lecture everytime I go home because they never have fruits and vegetables. And if it comes out of a box, I don’t want anything to do with it. Whole Foods is my favorite store.
Asshole confession:
Anyone who has seen me hungry knows that my head spins and fire comes out of my ears.
I feel so much better now.

“How can people ski anywhere else than Mad River Glen?”
how can anyone NOT ski Teles?
I can’t argue the Hendrix and best gutiarist, but would add Jimmy Page to that list as well…
There’s only one way to fish, and that is on a paddle board in the water, with super light tackle. It is a scaled down version of the old man and the sea…Nothing like an 6 lb bass, pulling you out to sea on 6 lb test…
Real open water swims are held in the ocean, open ocean, not harbors, bays, or lakes…
Elitist? = don’t think so, but been called a few times, so sure
Guitarist: I’ll go with Gary Hoey
Beer: anything by Sam Smiths (taddy porter, oatmeal stout, etc.)
The phrase is Type A, not A-Type. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_A_personality
Fishing: No thanks, I pay people to catch my food for me.
I wish i was born rich rather than good looking. sigh
guitarist: Metheny
Elitist- since the day I was born
Guitar player- Jimmy Paige, Duane Allman/Dickey Betts, Lindsey Buckingham, Brian May (in that order)
ski- through the slush of the northwest and the ice of the midwest mostly
fishing- why bother?
Being an asshole - never
I am an elitist. Really, it’s more I show many narcissistic tendencies.
Fortunately my results are finally starting to support the high regard I hold for myself.
I’ll play
Elitist- Sure believe what you want;)
Guitar- I play the best guitar (In my head while in the shower anyways)
Skiing- It’s gotta be Heli boarding in the Canadian Rockies (sorry no pics at this time)
Fishing- It’s the crankbaits that get the big one!!!
I agree wholeheartedly about bait fishing. Nothing worse than the damn wormslingers leaving their beer cans and worm cups along the banks of my favorite rivers that have artificial fly/lure restrictions.
That’s me, just to prove it I’m gonna go out and buy me some of them Pearl Izumi running shoes.
