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.)

Really appalling sex
We all crave truly full-on inventive sex that is so fantastic it should be defined as 'Porn Sex'. But let's face it, it never turns out that way does it? I reckon there's plenty of b3tards qith tales of regrettable or embarrassing or just plain icky stuff. bring 'em on in a strictly NSFW way!

Stupid Colleagues
A girl I once worked with asked me how to use basic HTML tags. That's fine - I've got absolutely nothing against people not being computer literate. But after I had painstakingly explained, nice and slow without using long words, how to put in a line break, talked her through the experience and gone back to my desk, thirty seconds later - THIRTY SECONDS - she had to ask me how to do a line break again.
The line break she'd just done was staring her in the face!
A FECKIN LINE BREAK!!!
Come on, I bet you can't do better than that.

Been reading...
...the few in this week's QOTW about management-speak bullshit - otherwise known as 'Witless crap that your bosses say to sound smarter than they are. And fail.' - oh my, but I hate that shite, but I've refrained in this QOTW because it's blatantly off-topic.
Please, fucking please do one of these - I've got loads of bile to spray about the place on that topic ;)

Boring questions no one wants.
Favorite historical novels read.
Gardening with family and how it brought meaning into my life.
Bible quotes used in daily life to enrich society.
Donating to charity as a way of life.
Bible stories I've memorized.
Lessons I've learned through educational family trips.

I've never smoked anything in my life and tend to point out the fact often (even though I know no one cares)
I also take my coffee black, and take the piss with people who put sugar in theirs (or buy iced coffee)
What little things are you (or someone you know) unashamedly snobbish/elitist about?

Teaching a lesson, harsh
I lived in a house with two students, and it was all the same; whenever it was near to paytime, my milk *and only this* would disappear.
Thing is, I really liked the housemates, we had a good laugh. One was called John, lovely bloke, allergic to nuts though, which was a bastard because I loved them. Other one was called Ste.
Anyway, it was payday, and John offered to make a cup of tea. In he brings it, and we all drink.
Soon after, John starts swelling up.
ME: *Runs, administers epi-pen, explains he's going into anaphalactic shock.
HIM: How do you know?
ME: I put almond oil in my milk.
What have you done to teach somebody a lesson?

Lies partners/exes have told
It occurred to me as I was discovering various lies told to me by my partner that they couldn't be the only one who'd done this. Top of the list was someone who I thought was a friend of ours, only to discover that my partner had had a 4 year relationship with them and made me feel paranoid for making a scene about it! Unfortunately there are too many other lies to list, such as their age (told me they were 38 when they were 44...) but they are for another post..... :-s

good and bad experiences with clowns
I've just come back from a restaurant where a six/seven year old child stood in front of a birthday party clown and said 'Get lost you muppet'.
What's your best and worst experiences with clowns?

Conversations with taxi drivers
I've just got home (a little bit zrunk) but on the way home, I got a taxi ride with a very nice fellow and we had a very heated debate about cars (i.e. what was good and what was shit etc).
It occured to me that we've all had crazy conversations with taxi drivers, good and bad. Let us know all your 'blah blah blah, hanging's too good for 'em' stories.

Google Whacking
Ever heard of Google Whacking? The idea is that you type just two words into Google search box, but they have to be completely unrelated, and hit 'search'. For a Google Whack, Google must return only one hit.
I Google Whacked once with 'palaeolithic' and 'nosebag' lol.
I know it all sounds very nerdy, I pissed myself when I heard about it and thought that the twunts who had thought of it as an amusing past time needed to get a life. Quickly. However I tried it and before I knew what had happened an hour had gone by.
Mwahahahaha!

Selfish reasons
Some of this weeks image challenges reminded me of another childhood memory:
When I was at junior school, I really wanted my parents to get divorced. The reason?...
My friend's parents had just had a nasty break up and in an effort to buy their child's love, they would buy him all the latest toys. I figured that if my parents split up, i'd get bought all the latest cool stuff too.
What evil, ill-conceived plans have you hatched purely in the pursuit of utterly selfish motives?

Ghostly Encounters
My dad is convinced his little council bungalow is haunted. Things would move and turn up in odd places (a screwdriver once went missing whilst he was repairing a door and turned up a week later in a bag of potatoes!) and the dog would often stare at the corner of the room, look up and growl at nothing. Anyway.
I didn't really take it too seriously until I went to visit him for a few days. One morning I woke up to a strange tapping noise in the room. As I tried to get out of the bed a breeze of air caught the curtains (like someone had run through the room) and I felt a heaviness on my chest (like someone was sitting on my chest) and worst of all, two cold hands around my neck, throttling me. For close to five minutes I couldn't scream or move. I didn't tell my dad, but five years on I've owned up that I've also had my own ghostly issues with the bungalow and given him a digital camera and minidisk recorder to catch any strange goings-on.
So far we've only caught black shapes on camera, but oddly whenever you take anything battery powered (rechargable or otherwise) into the bedroom the power saps instantly.
Scarily, 13 years into his tenancy dad has gotten used to his visitor and often can communicate with him (her?) crudely - when the tapping starts late at night my dad says 'come on now, shut up' and it stops instantly.
What are your spooky tales?

Crazy Neighbours
Our neighbours put up a fence today.
Not exactly a sectionable offence, I hear you say, but the message daubed upon said (completely solid) fence with permanant marker, informing us not to try and cover the day-glow orange abomination with anything, as it would ¨block the airholes¨ might well be an indication that the crazy train needs to seat 2 more.
So what about your own batshit insane neighbours?
