Hmmm...
Despite myself, I'm quite sentimental - I'll doubtless give several examples of this in the coming week. The upshot is that, in practice, I would probably save nothing from a burning building because I'd spend too much time dithering about what to save. The cat'd save himself - he's not stupid. From my own house, there's lots I'd save if I had the chance, but (in fairness) nothing's irreplaceable. I don't have any treasured family mementos - I don't even have any photographs of my family (and they have none of me).

From my parents', though... it'd have to be Euston that I saved.

Euston lives in the attic; he's about 2' tall, and would be sky blue but for the dirt. He is, of course, the teddy bear that I had as a small child. I've not seen him for decades, and I've joked about putting him in the bin - but I couldn't do that and despite my apparent nonchalance, I'd be heartbroken if he were to disappear somehow.

I am a 31-year old male. I disgust myself with my own wussiness.

You might be wussy

(ancrenne panting hard every day, Thu 8 May 2008, 15:20, )

Nah!
Embrace your inner wuss.

If you can't do it on here then where can you?

It's ok
In my mind you're not the most manly of men, so it's alright with me.

Erm... Thanks.
( Enzyme is in ur [noun]z, [verb]in' ur [noun]z, Thu 8 May 2008, 15:43, )

No problem
Don't get do anything wierd though, I can't deal with crying.

@Kaol
How could you say that?! Enzyme's all man! (Apart from his mimsy.)

Edit: and pert breasts.

Edit: and frilly knickers.

Edit: and extra X chromosome.

Are you saying
He's XXY?
Hmm...
(Kaol [CONTENT REMOVED FOR LEGAL REASONS], Thu 8 May 2008, 16:29, )

Is that
kind of, nearly hardcore, but not quite?
(althegeordie is scared of zombies., Thu 8 May 2008, 16:32, )

See...
I *think* that the criminals in Alien 3 were "double-x y's".

But I dunno.

After some rooting about...
"The principal effects are development of small testicles and reduced fertility"
(Kaol [CONTENT REMOVED FOR LEGAL REASONS], Thu 8 May 2008, 16:40, )

So quite possibly
not that far off then?

sorry enzyme, we're only kidding!
(althegeordie is scared of zombies., Thu 8 May 2008, 16:42, )

well...
he doesn't have any children that we know of...
(crackhouseceilidhband If there's one thing you can say about mankind..., Thu 8 May 2008, 16:45, )

But he does have a kitten.
Can XXY's produce kittens Kaol?
(althegeordie is scared of zombies., Thu 8 May 2008, 16:52, )

*looks*
"XXY's can produce kittens, and have been known to time-travel."

Yep.

*feels mean*
(Kaol [CONTENT REMOVED FOR LEGAL REASONS], Thu 8 May 2008, 16:56, )

If he can time travel
he might go back to before he posted this story and not post it. That would make us all look silly.
(althegeordie is scared of zombies., Thu 8 May 2008, 16:58, )

Or fuck your mother...
Then you'd never be born!
(Kaol [CONTENT REMOVED FOR LEGAL REASONS], Thu 8 May 2008, 17:00, )

yeah, your idea would be worse
but only a litte bit
