What makes one unsavoury?

UNSAVOURY

adj: 1. morally offensive "an unsavoury character", "an unsavoury scandal" 2. not pleasing in odour or taste.*

So, why the talk of unsavoury-ness? Because, I, Alexandra Bell, am an unsavoury character. Oh I know, it must be hard to believe that I could be an unsavoury character, but I am. This would be a very heavy burden to shoulder, if I was alone on this. But I am not, there are thousands of unsavoury characters around the world, some are probably reading this, and I am proud to say that some, if not most of my friends could be classified as unsavoury at some point in time. But two people stand out as especially unsavoury aside from myself, and they are Adam and Mike. The three of us probably fill the quota Ryerson has for tolerable levels of unsavoury.

Here are some of the grounds by which I make the bold statement of us three being tres unsavoury:
  1. After quietly discussing with Adam many drug growing schemes that could be possible for someone to do during a lecture by Professor Klaus Kraay. Kraay stated in an example "People who grow drugs are unsavoury". Not only was this hilarious coming from a man with the physique of Johnny Depp at the end of Blow, but it also elicited a laugh from us considering our previous conversations. Thus was born the realization that maybe we were unsavoury.
  2. Not that is has actually happened.... but, I somehow doubt that it would not be beyond us to drink before midterms and exams. I'm just saying....just saying... you know like a couple shots of Sambuca... just saying.
  3. Some kid, in the bushes**, keeps jumping out as we walk by saying... "So, you wanna party?". So we do, we heed the call of the man from the bushes. Always. Regardless of whether or not school work needs to be done or if we are going to be going to class in a few minutes.
  4. Thursday, March 3rd 2005. Kira, Adam, Nate, Mike and I in my van. That is ALL I am going to say.
  5. Cunt. Did that word bother you? Because it doesn't bother us... in the least (I take this time to also mention that Richard, Paul and Adam (not the same one from Ryerson) are fellow cunt renegades, using the word to it's stunning potential).
  6. We are absolutely, 100 percent the definition of slackers. Readings, pah! Attend class, pish posh! You see, we realize that our time is better spent with that kid from the bushes, or celebrating birthdays, or just not being in class.
  7. Mike's Ryerson ID. Really. Pedophile.
  8. If you could hear our stories... (puking on the Acropolis, friends crapping themselves/pissing themselves...). So ridiculous.
  9. Saturday, March 5th, 2005. Mike (Adam's roommate's birthday). Oh the calamity that ensued... look for further explanation of the antics another time.

There is so much more I could say, but there has got to be internet police or something. But anyways, we really are morally offensive. But here is the best part of being there morally offensive slackers, we always come out on top. Every exam we have, we rock. I mean it, like we study for a night, and by the end of it, we have successfully taught ourselves entire courses. We are resilient and resourceful. Who else would be able to reuse Marshall McLuhan on like three consecutive exams. We always get to the exam, minutes to spare, roll in. And afterwards, a round of high fives is had by all. We have allies from previous years to aid us in our quest. I mean, if there was an ACS year book, we would be the three kids voted, Most Likely To Flunk Out. But that is only, because our peers are not wise to the intelligent ways of perhaps the greatest trio to grace Ryerson yet. Plus, we do EXTRA CREDIT WORK. We sit for an afternoon, make some clay chickens, and get handed three percent. We truly are amazing, and I enjoy the win-win situation we have placed ourselves in. Always having fun, always doing well.

Now, I don't want you thinking we are bad people, because we aren't. We are just assholes sometimes. So while we are unsavoury yes, there is no doubt in my mind, that in a few years time, we will be bringing the ways of unsavouryness to Thunder Bay, where we learn, how to teach the youth of tomorrow in teacher's college.

I close this post with a list of who I feel have been some of history's most unsavoury characters.

  1. Keith Richards - this guy is number one.
  2. Hitler - seriously unsavoury
  3. Professor Terry Gillin - for a guy who looks like Art Garfunkle, he certainly is a sassy cunt.
  4. Mike Brancatella and the GOT - a real mish mesh of unsavoury people
  5. Heidi Fleiss - Hollywood's youngest madam
  6. Rick Campanelli - the guy is like coming on 50 years old or something, but doesn't look a day over 19, something unsavoury had got to be going on
  7. Guns and Roses c. the 80s - ok them and every other 80s hair metal band (specific shout out to Vince Neil of Motley Crue)
  8. Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie - "dem is some SKAAAAANKY hoes"
  9. The Corey's - poster boys in Tiger Beat one month, rehab's poster boys the next
  10. Faux-Julian - This kid stuck his PENIS inside a calf's mouth so it would suck it, thinking it was a feeding bottle. No really. I told all you city slickers I went to highschool on a barn! We had real bonefide rednecks!

*I would like to just mention that we pertain to the first part of the definition. We do not smell nor taste bad.

**The guy in the bushes is not actually from the bushes. He is Nate. He is Adam's roommate. He will be found in the bushes one day though, this, I am certain of.

First of all, awesome post. Second of all, Faux is my hero.

Your list was sweet, but I must make some other nominations:

1) Gene Simmons. That man is foul. The long tongue accompanied with the sex claims is sick. But they had the nerve to put him on American Idol as a celebrity judge (PS - Simon Cowell is my hero)

2) Ron Jeremy. End transmission.

3) A certain someone who does drugs like Ray Charles and enters my dreams in drag queenish make-up.

4) Donnie from New Kids On the Block. Didn't he like, set a hotel on fire? Plus his brother is Marky Mark (not to be mistaken with Doug E. Doug, COOL RUNNINNNNNGS!)

5) Mr. Kilgour, he totally thought all the girls at Mayfield dug him and his German and French. But really he's just a loser.

Dang. You couldn't be more right Briana. That list is totally also worthy of Unsavoury Mentions. Although Gene Simmons made it on an episode of Family Guy, making him eternally cool.
