What would you not do for love?
 

So my mom told me recently how "horrible" it was to hear my older brother scream when they took him in the other room of the hospital to be circumcized as a baby.

So naturally I asked "then why'd you let me get circumcized?"

My mother said "well, your father convinced me to let all of my boys get circumcized because most boys are in american culture."

So I said "Well, nobody has ever seen my dick to make fun of it in the first place, circumcized or not. Not in the locker room or in the bathroom. Nobody sees my dick mom!"

My mom says "well a girl might get freaked out"

I say "well if she gets freaked out she's a stupid bitch and not worth my time"

My mom says "what if it was Salma Hayek, what if you were uncircumcized and she was so repulsed that she wanted you to get a circumcision as an adult?"

Me, "I wouldn't. Not for anybody."



So, there is one thing I wouldn't do for love. I wouldn't have an adult circumcision if I had a foreskin to be circumcized for love.

Some other things I don't think I'd do for love:

• put my life in danger for the hell of it (I'll jump into the gorilla pit and challenge the silverback for you honey!)
• renounce loved ones
• group sex
• fulfill a girls masochistic fantasies by being violent to her
• eat mayonnaisse, mustard, pickles, relish, tuna salad, or any other food that makes me want to puke just thinking about it
• kill someone in cold blood
• become a vampire
• Stop listening to my favorite music
• heroin
• quit guitar

There are a bunch of things I wouldn't do for love.

I wouldn't get circumsized either. There's no real medical advantages so fuck that.

Here is my list;

- Change religion or denounce it altogether
- Kill someone, maim someone, etc.. for no reason
- Compromise my dreams
- Eat salad
- Eat shit
- Have myself chained by the nipples to a moving vehicle

Ah youth.

Wait until you fall in love, you'll not only do all of the above but kill anyone who tries and stop you.

That's a pretty good list. I might eat salad for love. Just provided that the dressing is of my choice (thai peanut butter sauce!)

There is an episode of Flight of the Conchords where Bret rights a song for a girl, claiming he'd do a bunch of things for her like climb the highest mountain, etc.

Jemaine points out that he probably wouldn't really do that for her. He suggests Bret right a song about things he would actually do for her. The first verse of the new song is about hanging out with her.

wow, you are missing out!



I don't think that there is anything I wouldn't do for love (if I felt as if I HAD to).

1. I'd drink a gallon of curdled milk.
2. I'd kill.
3. I'd kill whoever I killed (if they got back up).
4. I'd circumcise MYSELF.
5. I'd circumcise that person I killed.
6. I'd not only do the heroin, I'd score it, cook it and tie my love's arm.

....well, I could go on, but I think you get the point.

But I'm talking about LOVE not just hooking up.

I'm talking about something like an obsession that pounds through your blood like you just ran ten miles but it just won't stop and you see her when you close your eyes and you see when your eyes are open and goddamn everything has a hint of her the perfume in your car after she's gone, her stray hairs on your shirt where you hugged, her subtle surf essence on your body where you were together, LOVE you know that thing you're lucky to get once or twice in your life and if you blow it you're really stupid (all hands pointing at the author).

You must spread some Chinese nanobots around before giving them to tesla69 again.

listen to meatloaf.

Telsa69 is right, the term 'love' is used so casually that the real feeling means so much more, and it's also something difficult to imagine when you're not experiencing it.

What I wouldn't do:
-Kill someone
-Heavily emotionally/ physically harm someone (doing something that would fuck them over)
-Public nudity
-Put myself in great danger

yes but the "love" tesla is speaking off is more of a codependent obsession that disappears with time, having more to do with bottled-up sex taking over the brain than with any noble feelings.

real love (hard to use that word in public without cringing) doesn't require you to become someone else.

in the case of julian's mom, as with any marriage, the deranged state of mind tesla describes, which induced her to marry, had long been replaced with something else, after living together & having children, let's just not go into what it may have been.

if you guys think lovesickness remains in place some 6 months after the first sexual encounter with your "loved" one, you're seriously deluded. the altered state of mind is replaced, fortunately, for something more real.

ps- julian, sorry about your mutilated schlong

I wouldn't change any aspect of my being, unless it was an aspect that most people would agree is negative.

Loving other people is not as important as loving yourself.

what you wont do, do for love, you tried everything but you dont get love...

pretty:p

i'd do anything for love.

oh dear. you sound like you're ripe for an abusive, exploitative boyfriend. :(

hell no, i am the heart breaker, and i am terrified of commitment.

more like this

oh. guess i didn't understand what you meant when you said you "would do anything".

i would not lie for love.....

as in tell untruths, not lie down!

Wow. I was just about to say I wouldn't lie down for love. What are the chances...?

i don't know if i could kill someone for love, if it was a thelma and louise kinda thing and i had nothing to lose anymore but the person i loved, then i think i could.

To me throbbing, burning love stops when I'm asked to do something I don't really want to do.

i'd do anything.
but breakdance.
for you, girl.

Heroin or crack.

eat bugs

Eat poo.

touche.

Fisting.

I've had a hand in my vagina before.

Listen to the music that the other girl does even if I don't like it
Eat meat

So basically being made to do anything that I don't want to (more or less), I don't sell out.

That must have hurt. Did she stick her arm in there too? I can't think of something that could be more painful.

holy shit, i was going to write the same thing!

its not his fault really, she walked into a door. seriously, its the oddest thing..

ha ha. yeah...

i would do anything for love, but i won't do THAT.

did someone beat me to the punch on that one?

no saturnine, i applied an indie version of that joke and, i think, nobody got it.
