This is a question 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.)

stupid games you played/were tricked into playing
I have a load of them
Tied up with ties and locked in a cupboard for 4 hours (I willingly sujested this, better than getting a make over from my sister and her friend, and i felt suisidel thanks to said friends brother not lettingme play with his transformers.

I was a kid at the time, but I still avoid makeovers from my sister and never did get a transformer

You get totally pissed/stoned/monged
Whats the most embarrasing thing you have ever done whilst under the influence?

God, taking a dump in the middle of the road whilst running around the town in my pyjamas at 4am...it will stay with me (and my mates) for the rest of my life (and my mates lives)....

You're Invisible for a Day...
What do you do? I would sneak into the Playboy Mansions...who wouldn't? But I'm sure you people have much more interesting and altogether more disturbing fantasies. Let your imagination run wild, but keep it legal please. The FBI is watching.

Good Film Ideas
Did you ever have an idea for a really good plot for a film? I've always thought that they should do a documentary on cheese-making. I'm an underappreciated genius. Are you? Recount your plot, in all its glory.

Question Topic
"What was the stupidest thing you saw your Mother Do?"

Face it. When we're young, our parents often tell us how they're wise and how we should follow their example . So when they slip up, it often gave me a smug satisfaction. So, how low did they go in your experience?

Well known phrases-ish
What well known phrases do you or people around you consistently get wrong.

A friend of my mum once told me that her neighbour "gets right up my goat". Surely she should report him to the police.

Soundtrack of your Life..
What do you hear in your head; not by earphones; but as real, as you pass through your day?
I have:
Bittersweet Symphony : as I walk the streets;
or Two Tribes, if I'm on a mission, (as per Robbie Coltrane in Supergrass).

That's Entertainment, by the Jam, whilst waiting for a bus/tube.

Ever Fallen In love with someone..., by the Buzzcocks; when I think of my wife, or the previous GF.

Mums
Everybodies mum has said or done something that has been embarrassing for your mum or for you.

My mum randomly starts line-dancing whenever she hears music, regardless of the location. Plus she regularly mishears song lyrics or anything her progeny have said, often with hilarious consequences.

What weird/plain stupid things does your mum do?

Those Annoying Bastards.......
You know those fucking annoying bastards who ring you up at all hours and try to sell you some crap you definitely don't want? What cunning plan do you use to piss them off so that they never ring you again?

Futile Gestures
I had Chili for lunch yesterday, then went for a curry in the evening. Having just finished a tremendous dump in the office toilet, I was washing my hands and the automatic air freshener just emitted a tiny 'pfft' of vapour.

That was just never going to make any difference to the atmosphere in those Karzi's. What other futile 'drop in the ocean' gestures have you made/witnessed?

How American's in Britain try to prove they're not drunk
Exchange student I knew in my 1st year at uni ent out for a few pints with some english students, 2 pints later he's in my room trying to prove he's not drunk by standing on one leg trying to unscrew my noticeboard with his room key. All the while he's telling us he's not drunk even though he'd had 2 pints.

He fell over.

Most inappropriate analogy you've ever used
For example, a couple of days my Branch manager described me as being very versative to which I responded "I'm like a Swiss Army knife, red with bits that stick out". Well the women in the branch found this hilarious. I, on the other hand, didn't.

How cruel was your school
Our school, in a stroke of late 60s architectural genius, had an area between the 2nd floor of the assembly hall and playground, because it was built on a hill.

This had the effect of pruducing a cul-de-sac of hate and fear, in which the playground surrounding it formed a viewing gallery, raised about 20 feet in the air.

This was the spit pit. Only one kid was unpopular enough to warrant full usage of the pit, which involved having your bag chucked in, and about 1000 people gathering around the platforms above you. Should you go in for your bag, you come out covered in quite an astounding amout of phlegm.

How cruel was your school?

How you've manipulated people, intending to or not
A week after losing my virginity (did not go well at all, i could go through with it and was pissed about it) with a friend id started to be more than friends with, before i could end it, he finishs with me. Still v. close and good mates through out, it just wasnt working cause he was so busy and we didnt want to loose our friendship.

Anyways, 2 weeks later I was still thinking of him constantly even though we were never in love (found out later i was just sexually fustrated) and tired to call him for the first time in days when he was in a mood and cut me off. Meh i thought, ill show u.
Went out and borght my bits for my fetish costume for the next evenings do at uni when he texts me apolojising and asking what I was up to when I was trying on my outfit.

So I told him what I was wearing corcettto tease him and make him feel like crap. Like a flash he was over, took me to his and finished what we had started 2 weeks b4

Lost in Translation
Fauz pas caused by not speaking another language. My wife is Spanish and when I first met her parents they put on a very nice lunch. I spoke no spanish at the time and got by with pointing, laughing and drinking too much. At the end of the meal my mother-in-law-to-be asked if I'd enjoyed the meal. My wife-to-be translated. I stood up and declared, "That was such a nice meal I'm goig to go back to my room and masdurbate!". I smiled and left the table. The problem..? My wife-to-be mentioned the Spanish word for "masdurbate" is... "masdurbate". How would you feel if your youngest daughters boyfriend had called your lovingly prepared meal wank?
We're still married. My in-laws don't speak to me. I like this arrangement.

How about "how to piss people off"? I used to run a pub and closed the bar at 10pm. On a Saturday. When England had just won a football game. Just to annoy the locals. Because I'm a bastard.

ooh
sorry just had another idea. I once made a philosophy that the best ideas always come a short time after they would have been useful. Is there something you really wished you could have gone back and done? to correct history? Or how about even a compo on self-made philosophies. I'm sure you can do much better than me

How about moments of stupidity?
Like when your mouth disconnects from your brain and you say something you afterwards regret and people around you never seem to let it go.

Bitter? Just a little.

Car Crashes

Most people have a funny story about one.

A Few....
1. Mis-use of the english language as you have heard it.

My example would be in a Yahoo chat room (i know, i know) and hearing some yank on voice saying "Don't hate on me".... How can one, hate someone on else?

2. Travel related stupidity/ignorance.

I have sooo many examples i could list. But a good one being from my own mother. "I have landed safly, etc etc" me "where are you exactly" mum "oh we are just taxing down the run way" me "Erm mum you should even have your phone on"

3. Strangest places you have slept.

Mine list on someone drive way, minutes past the stroke of midnight. half under a car, train stations, a street corner and a stranger drive way.

4. Run in'd with the law.

I have had very few, but hearing my mate tell a copper the bike he had in his possesion was his, moments after telling a copper i had found mine over there, pointing behind me.

I think thats all i can think of.

Second post wayhey

Flashbacks
What are the triggers for flashbacks to events in your past? Or even the oddest flashbacks you have? Is it a smell, a sound, your creepy uncle saying "your my puppy now!" What ever.

As a 11 year old, I lived in a depressing industrial Scottish town in the 70's and on the way to school I would regularly find discarded porn mags (!) in the street*.

Now when ever I see a dropped newspaper/magasine in the road, it reminds me of "unwitting semi's", and hairy women! I always have to look to see if it is a copy of Feista, and feel sadly disappointed it isn't.

*(I reckon the paper boys were blagging copies for reseach purposes)
