Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

The most stupid and yet amusing way I have injured myself
(there are numerous stories, but this one is best I feel) is this: I was walking along the landing in my house. I went past my girlfriend who was bent over looking at something low down. Naturally, I spanked her across the arse with the book I was holding, but followed through the swing way too much and hit myself in the eye with the spine of the book, really quite hard.
Both hilarious and painful for all involved.

Halloween
Last Halloween a few mates and I went on one of those Jack the Ripper walking tours. By the end of the tour half our group had managed to get shitfaced, one had managed to break his wrist, and another had successfully chatted up a pretty Brazilian girlie who turned out to be a man.
And did we see Jack the Ripper? Did we fuck!
Halloween - tell us your tales of this wonderful, mystical, and deeply religious day...

Lie to me
Lie, tell the tallest story you can.
It's got to be:
Funny.
Original (trust me, someone WILL find you out)
Filthy (optional)
Basically, that shit you've been saying to your mates for years, tell us now.
(I have a feeling this has been QOTW before)

Motorway Madness.
Drivers, non-drivers, everyone's got a funny driving story, like the time I nearly crashed into the back of a speedboat at 80 mph. Or arriving at my destination so desperate for a pee that I couldn't actually get out of the car....

Stalking
I moved several times to avoid a real life stalker, but recently they found me via the internet and sent a message.
A bit freaked , but know now due to their current circumstances I'm not going to bump into them.
Have you ever been stalked either in real life or via the internet?
Or have you ever been a stalker yourself?

Faux pas fuck up
I once spent New Year's Eve at a girlfriend's grandparent's house with her and her extended family (it was as exciting as it sounds). Near to midnight, we all buggered off over the road to go and see some OAP friends for a drink.
After several glasses of our host's finest bubbly, we all trouped out the front door wishing them well and good health etc for the New Year. As I've been brung up proper, like, I offered my hand to warmly shake the host's hand and thank him for his hospitality.
It was then that I realised that he had no arm. So I shook his stump. Everyone saw.

conversations you wish you'd not had
A while back a friend of mine was got a taxi to go to the airport.
He started talking about football ect the usual banter, then the driver said he'd has some operation or other and started listing the things he had been unable to do the last couple of weeks e.g washing, gardening, wanking.
the last one became the topic of conversation (one way) for the next 15-20 mins.

What's the best deal you ever got?
In my last job, I had expenses that were examined, to a forensic degree, by an evil, eagle-eyed bureaucratic prick every month. Failure to supply an explanation resulted in removal of the total from the staff bonus.
Despite this, we got on all right. Once I was on exes for a three-night stay, in an unfamiliar town, and had a 10 quid food allowance. I found that the restaurant I eventually chose had three basic price levels: the bare minimum, the in-between, and the downright scandalous.
Having eaten a (very tasty) steak sandwich, I asked for a receipt. And then asked for a duplicate. Because the receipt provided bore the legend: "Inter course - 7.95"
Made me a legend in the accounts department. Mainly on account of my supposed haggling skills.

Supermarkets
One of my earliest memories is of my sister and I simultaneously jumping onto the side of the full shopping trolley that my mum was pushing at Tesco, pulling it over. Things smashed. She cried.
Tales of supermarket woe please! Or supermarket joy if you find attempting to wield a paraplegic metal cart around an assault course of open-mouth-gum-chewers who argue with the checkout lady over the 6-bag limit on 5kg bags of value chips entertaining.

How you've angered/annoyed a celebrity.
Variations of this have been done, but surely new celebrity stories have been happening on a daily basis since then.
I just like to hear about celebrities being put in their place face to face from you.
Celebrities from all venues but ......extra credit for political celebrities being targeted by your verbal superiority.

"Nerdy" references
When people offer a big issue to one of my friends he says "you do not want to sell me death sticks" accompanied by the jedi mind trick hand action that goes with it. Another of my friends had poor service on his phone and ended up yelling Dad? Dad? DAAAAAAAAD? cue Metal gear solid gameover music

Explain your Name!
One thing that we, as B3tards, have in common are the strange and mysterious monikers we go by on this very site. Those curious nom-de-plumes from behind which we pour our scorn and ridicule upon each other; these curious masks of anonymity which allow us to share our deepest secrets and darkest fantasies. Where did your B3tard name come from and why do you call yourself what you do?

Stories too bizarre to be true (but actually are)
From the pub gob shite to the school liar, everyone knows someone who spins a fancy yarn, but some of these tall tales are actually true.
I once escaped a con man in India, only to be nearly killed by a pack of dogs (three weeks after coming off a motor bike). True i tell ye.

What did you used to believe when you were little?
I used to believe that my fanny knew it was OK to pee because it would see light as I pulled my red cord flares and pants down.
I tried to fool it by peeing in the dark and got very confused when it worked. Missed the loo though.

Taking the piss.
TWO YEARS AGO Mrs RoF reversed into a parked car, while the owner was in a shop buying a pint of milk. Yesterday we received notification from our insurance company that the other 'driver' has now gone to a solicitor and started a claim for injuries sustained during the accident.
When was the last time you took the piss on a grand scale?

Bad boy. 8 years on the naughty step.
The naughty step is all very well and good; but punishment for a disobedient child needn’t be dull for the parent too.
Stories of horrific child abuse aside. What have you dished out or received and what was the crime?
The lad is getting older and I'm looking for inspiration.
