What's the thing you're most proud of doing in 2005?
I was working for a freight company and had to move some set pieces to Rome for the Mission Impossible 3 film that was shooting there.
The trailer with the sets on got delayed by a day and I was held responsible for single handedly bringing a stop to production of the film for 24-48hrs while the trailer arrived and the sets got set up.

Bargains
Best bargain you've ever bought? Mine was a keyboard worth about £50 new for £4 in a charity shop. And also Street Fighter the Movie on video for £1.50, also from a charity shop, great film.

Smack an animal day...
me and me brother were in the pub a while ago, chatting about the usual random banter that two chaps do, and he turns to me, out of the blue, and asks: "If you could hit ANY animal in the world, what would it be? I want to hit a koala... i think it'd squeak as it left the branch."
After about 5 - 10 minutes in the toilet, drying all the nose-beer i'd shot out, i came up with a giraffe. Whilst it's drinking, cos i reckon it's centre of gravity would be well off.

My question... If you could hit ANY animal in the world, what would it be?

Freaky fancies
As a misguided teenager I had a boyfriend that I would never EVER be seen dead with now. No one around me could see what I found attractive in the greasy, freakish goth who looked like a girl but at the time there was 'something about him' - to this day I'm not sure what it was but I know it wasn't right. I'm totally embarrassed about it now. Have you ever lusted after someone that you know is oh so wrong - but it feels oh so right?
I'm currently stuck on Ben Fogle. =(

How about...
...one along the lines of 'coming clean', when you've had to admit, clarify or generally tell someone something that you'd wished you never had to, along with consequences/aftermath.

Won't always be funny, but should make for good reading ;)

Not seen one along the lines of...
...'a time when you were like-never-before pissed off by someone/something'? Posts along those lines always creep in somewhere, so let's have a bona-fide collection of them.

After all, bile is good for the soul. At least until you have to drink it ;)

A Themed Thread?
Given all the crappy complaints each week, how about: What was the worst QotW B3ta made?

Maybe it would be a reservior of complaints - and a challenge! ;)

work monkeys........
I have the misfortune to share an office with a woman who can best be described as a 'slack-jawed ninny'. Or possibly 'mind-numbingly trivial jibber jabber dullard.'An example of her intelligence and vivacity is best illustrated by her asking a colleague what the difference between under and postgraduate meant, despite being employed by the University for the last five years. Possibly acceptable, until you consider she asked me the same question the previous day and wrote it onto a piece of paper so she wouldn't forget. This women is on the same pay scale as me! aaargghhhhh!
Anyhoo - this is my fate when pretending to earn a wage.....workplace goons - who do you have to suffer in silence with?
(apologies for length but its a cherry-popper....)

Gar! She has just asked me whether I would class Bangladesh as in India or Pakistan. It's quite hard to explain about independent nations through clenched teeth......

My Best Scam
Back in the good ol' days of the BBC Micro and ZX Spectrum 48K ... I used to swap masses of pirated (I mean ... off-site backups of) software I used to get for free - with mates of mine for their hard earned cash - with HILARIOUS consequences.

What was YOUR best scam?

Nautiest thing you did at school?
By which I mean 'I dipped a pen in my own poo and wrote 'poo' on the wall of the cubicle with it' style naughty, not the 'my teacher jacked me off in the suply cupboard' kind. Although some examples obviously fit nicely into both.

Suck it and Sea?
Forget the mindnumbing recent QOTW, with Weak being the key word.

Let's mix up a few suggestions and old QOTW.

'In the throws of orgasm, I managed to...'

Well yesterday I managed to reach the house next door. Twas in the shower and thought it better to open the window rather than have to clear the plug hole. Must have been 15ft, although gravity and a slight draft (20 mph NE wind) did assist. Proud.

Still made her.....

Snow!
What funny things have you done with snow, given the latet bout of frosty and slushy weather? In brief, one of my friends claims to have left the bonnet of a detested neighbour's car open - snow + cold leaving a buggedly buggered car. The neighbour swore he left it closed - the neighbour's wife dunked his face into the snow for being a tosser. Oh dear.

How stupid are you?
A few nights ago while i was drunk to within an inch of my life i decided to apply some vaseline to my badly chapped lips. Except i accidentally applied a liberal coating of Tiger Balm.

What's the spackiest thing you've done lately?

The little songs you sing to get you through the day
You know the ones i mean. They make very boring tasks seem less so. In the chemistry labs today i had to measure the magnetic moment of a compound. All through this process i was quietly singing Magic Moments to myself by Perry Como. Except it was Magnetic Moments of course. I also quite often get Leningrad's songs stuck in my head too.

Share your lyrical genius with the world.

Ps also enjoy singing the theme tune to The Sweeny. "The Sweeny, The Sweeny, ba baba ba baaa ba bada da!"

Stupidest thing
I once was in a game store and spotted a nice cute kiddy game called "Playground adventure". Side by side to it was "Doom 3" and "Leisure Suit Larry" (complete with women with nipple stands).

I nearly had to be escorted out of the shop. What's the stupidest thing you've seen like this?

Killing the moment
Once whilst pleasuring an ex girlfriend I slipped off the bed and fell on my kitten, the poor thing was ok but made the loudest gut wrenching squeal of pain I have ever heard.

In what ways have you unwittingly destroyed an intermit moment?
