Sounds like a champ to me. Definitely not a loser.

Here's an oldie, but a real loser:



Plato from Rebel Without a Cause. I know you're supposed to feel bad for that kid, but he really turns into a complete turd at the end. Talk about a complete loser.

In a social environment where racing cars off a cliff is a way to determine manliness, I think Plato was pretty normal.

No, I didn't buy a car from him. Yes, he had heard about The Mr. Hand quite a few times.

Sorry you're wrong about Steff. He was an a-hole to the 10th degree but far from a loser.

Spader played that part and a similar character in Less than Zero to a T.

Then said he would drive her to the clinic but backed out at the last minute


Did you miss the part where he was tracking down people that owed him money for tix to a concert they already went to?

yeah, just watched this last night, after hearing about it in this thread. Gary is the bigger loser by far. Rick was in to her too, and got her, Gary wanted sloppy seconds, he also never really was direct about how he felt until after the abortion. Plus what punk pays to abort some one else's kid? Should have let them work it out. Instead Gary just made Rick and Karen's lives easier. And that bitch when she sees him at the end pulls all closer to Rick, and he turns around and gives the douchiest look. Then drives Gary off crying, like damn, plenty of fish in the sea.

Rick definitely wasn't the loser in that movie..
This bitch was just a hoe..



aged okay though..

He always reminded me of this kid I went to grade school and high school with. Total sleaze, thought he was so cool but he wasn't, etc.

I'm almost that way and mine was that small, too.

I'll see people in the year book and it's like "holy shite, I probably haven't thought about that guy since I was actually in HS. Maybe not even then.". And I graduated in 2005.

Why sell a ticket and not get the full amount up front? We're things different in the 80's
