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.)

Clever ways of stealing
I used to work in a camping store in Dublin that had a sister branch 10 mins walk from the store I worked in. Every couple of days I would have to walk with a rucksack full of stock between the two stores. Despite the rucksack normally weighing a ton, this task was rather profitable for me because I had a friend who worked inbetween the two stores so I would always load some extra items and deposit the extra items with said friend who would fence them on for me!
Despite the shit wages, it proved to be a very lucrative summer! What's the cleverest work stealing antics you've enjoyed?

Popping the cherry
Oh it must be awful for everyone. Myself: Scottish Hillside, early morning in September, cold, half-naked apart from pants around ankles, nervous and post-fumble; rolling over into a pile of nettles.

A broken hymen is nowt when compared with that.

Ever since I carry protection.... a docken leaf.

Do tell.....

I got another suggestion
Let's NOT have a question of the week that involves drink or drugs. Surely there's only so many "Hurhurhur we were so wasted..." stories the populace can handle?

The worst thing you have ever witnessed.
My brother and mate are hiking in brecon, mate is walking on a little way ahead when he comes to a bothy (those little stone cottages for hikers). Reaches the door, pushes it slightly open and sees to walking sticks against the wall. So he assumes there is others there. As the door swings fully open he is confronted with the site of two grey haired sixty year old blokes, one standing on the bench, only wearing a pair of walking boots, whilst the other one is chowing down on his cock like a champion. He actually pulled it out of his mouth and said 'oops'. Oops? My mate turned and made an extremely swift exit. Pass me the mind bleach.

So how did the pet really die?
parents are away - you have to look after the pet - it dies - you lie to the 'rents on their return.

ie - the lizards tail just fell off - odd isnt it mom?!

of course this is all fictional and i donnate regularly to the rspca and love hugging/stroking/petting/feeding animals on a regular and totally healthy basis.

What annoys you/makes you angry?
I could probably think of dozens, but drivers that queue jump or don't indicate really annoy me; microsoft - when things re-format themselves when you cut&paste them; why can't I get size 7 socks??? Shoes come in all sizes, socks are 7-11?? Always baggy!; TV - need I say more? Just because people watched one programme about buying houses doesn't mean we want loads every day, also, why repeat 'Little Britain' four times a day, every day on BBC3?; you get the idea?

Vote now....or I'll be really annoyed!!!!

Scary Animals
This weekend I had the unnerving experience of being chased by a sheep. It had horns, too. I was walking down a public footpath, too. Anyways - the bloody thing may as well have been a leopard, considering how I ran away gibbering. (Cue Carry-on film style leap into hedge etc.) This made me think - have any b3tans been similarly chased, either here or abroad, and did the beast(s) in question catch you? I've asked at work and I seem to be alone in this. Apologies if this question has been asked before. I am still in shock partly.

What's your lifelong dream?
What is it you've always wanted to do, and someway or another, how are you going to do it/afford to do it?

Could be a farm in Fiji with a cow, and a sheep, or simply making the world's largest ball of string.

Be interesting to have something non-bowel movement, or mutilation related. Look how popular the 'Beautiful Moments' one was!

What is the best or most unusual sandwich you've ever eaten?
What is the best or most unusual sandwich you've ever eaten? When i was young decided to go on a quest for the perfect sandwich, the peanut butter and jam for the 21st century if you will. I'd say the weirdest one i made (and there were a few) would have to be a yogurt sandwich. It was soggy but nice.

Talk your way out of THAT one then!
Just before the end of the semester (but before the exams started) I was caught while receiving head in the University library.

Due to the lack of blood reaching my brain I was unable to think of an excuse that would simultaneously explain away my raging erection and the man-batter dribbling from the corner of my girlfriend's mouth.

My gf mumbled something along the lines of
"...sociolology experiment...testing people's reactions in a public location.."
and other such bollocks.
Not sure if the librarian was convinced or not.
Got banned from the library too.

What awkward situations have you been caught in and what brilliant/terrible excuses did you use to gt out of it?

I Cried Like A Girl.
I'm loathe to admit it, but I cried like a wee girlie while watching the last episode of Doctor Who. In my defence, I am - damnit - a girl.

Shut up!

Anyhow, what odd stuff has made you weep openly?

Culinary disasters
I once cooked a curry in which I ignored the recipe for a single spoon of curry paste and used the whole jar. Result: bottom napalm.

What's the worst thing you've ever cooked? Extra credit for road kill.

I scarred my cousin for life.
My little 5 year old cousin loved eggs and chicken, and would pretty much refuse to eat anything else. Just after he'd had a chicken sanwhich, I took him upstairs to my room and showed him this little nugget of joy from PETA: www.petatv.com/tvpopup/Prefs.asp?video=chickens_and_turkeys Needless to say, he is now screams and cries whenever he gets asked if he wants to eat chicken.

How have you traumatized a little young 'un?

The weirdest thing I have eaten
was Balut, which I got from one of the Filipino's I work with.
It's basically a ducks abortion, being that it is a duck embryo of about 15 day's old (they hatch at 21 day's).
It's boiled for about 20 minutes before being peeled and eaten like a normal boiled egg, but with with feathers and guts, and you don't eat the hard bit, that's the duckling's bill! Surprisingly tasty, but it didn't agree with me the following morning as I felt that I had a serious hangover with serious nausea, all day!
