Dumbest Thing You Did To Impress Someone?

[RNguy]

Heck cuddles don't feel bad , I will post something in your thread for you . Nice to meet you by the way . Anywho , here you go : many years back , my buddy and I were at wallyworld wal mart right at Xmas time when only 4 out of the 379 cash registers were operating . Anyways, we had been in line for about half an hour , like everyone else ticked off because of the long nonmoving line . There was a beautiful gal in front of us and I mean stunning . Finally , it was her turn to check out and she put all of her items on the moving belt except the huge bag of kitty litter that she left in the buggy . This was when scanners were attatched VIA a rubber cord but the cord wouldn't stretch . I said here , ill get that for you ma'am and picked up her bag of kitty litter and the bag ripped and the litter spewed everywhere , even all over the moving belt and jammed the belt . Haha . She said way to go a!@hole . Seriously , what Do you say after that except to finish it off with a classy line like now our checkout looks like a litter box and well nobody was real thrilled that was sooo long ago and my buddy still thinks its the funniest thing hy ever saw . Hys not right in the noggin though what I learned was no good deed goes unpunished and I learned that kitty litter bags should be left in the buggy and scanned there and also I think wal mart should open the other 379 closed registers ....... Peace - RNguy

I bought a piece of her art work to the tune of $500. Yes I still have the piece and every time I look at it I go. OK stud how'd that work out for you? Although she looked like Faith Hill, she couldn't sing but she sure could paint.

Well, it was a long time ago (back when I was in my early 20s) and as it was, I was with a bunch of girlfriends from school and we were invited to an after-work-school party... up in the hills. Mixed company, of course.

I still have this trait to me but I've never forgotten what happened the day this happened:

There was this obnoxious smarty pants who dared people to outdo them in practically everything they did. Finally, toward the end of the party, this person dared us to see if any one of could climb to the top of a particular tree. Of course, about this time, I was sick hearing them do this and said to myself -- 'Let's see what you have to day about this when I get to the top'. Boy, oh boy, did we ever have a lot to say when it was all said and done. Once I got to the top of the tree, I realised how far up I was and of course, because I get motion sickness at the most inconvenient times ever (plus I can be a klutz at times too), I looked down and became so dizzie that I lost my balance and came flying down all the tree limbs that would not only save my life, but also hurt me too. Once I recovered, I was still lying on the ground laughing hysterically with my friends.


I've never forgotten that day, ever.

Everytime I am tempted to best someone, that memory comes to the front: immediately.

When I was a kid....I crossed a wicked high train trestle which spanned the Connecticut River...all to prove to my cousins that I wasnt chicken....

I was apprentice white water rafting and one of the guides brought his "bit on the side" german tomboy quasi girl friend. Who to me read "screamin dyke" (not exposed too much to cultural gender expression variation at that point in my life. She wasn't a dyke at all). So in a fit to impress I wanted to show her how safe the water was. She was a bit nervous of swimming in the river. I was trying to show her that even though there are rapids, there are back eddies that are safe to swim in, and I was demonstrating this to her by doing a back flip into one from the back of the raft.

I hit my head on a huge rock on the bottom of the river. As soon as I hit it, I thought fuck. oh well, committed now and kept turning, peeling off an inch wide strip of skin from mid scalp down my forehead and down my nose. scalp wounds bleed like fuck. so when I emerged from the water I had blood running down my head and my face. She screamed. excellent. that's just the reaction I was looking for.

the first aider, my mate Linea (hot and also looked and acted dyke to me, and wasn't) asked me how I felt and I said "sexy."

I had a concussion two weeks later that made me not recognise people I knew and recongise people I didn't know. for six months. that was entertaining. and I lost my spot in field school in africa because I wasn't allowed on the plane to fly with a concussion.
