Ok, so I stole the idea from Colosus and DB, but this is an unrestrictive fireside chat.. Pull up a chair, tell us something about yourself.. Something interesting.. What are your goals in life? What's the stupidest thing you've ever done? What's your worst fault? Best answers get extra marshmallows in their hot chocolate..

Ran into a pole at the Miami airport on the way back home once and was hauled into the emergency room where I had to spend the night and receive four stiches in my forehead...
Does that get extra marshmallows?

A quick poll of our office reveals that 4 out of 20 people actually have frozen their tongue to a cold metal object in winter.
One said "cause my dad did it when he was a boy"
I was not one of the 4.
Picture perfect penmanship here.

Yeah, yeah Lucia...bash the poor dumb guy... thats really boosting to my self esteem, you know... :rolleyes: Ive got more 'poor dumb Aragorn' stories, but since my hot chocolate is quite full of 'pity marshmallows' I shall refrain from telling them... maybe later [ March 25, 2001: Message edited by: @ragorn ]

Uh one time I was walking down this street late at night and I heard these leaves moving around and when I went to investigate a opossum jump out and chased me for about 2 blocks scared the living crap out of me.

I can honestly say that I'm quite perfect. I've never done anything stupid. Nope, not me. Well, I guess this one time I was involved in an international crime ring whose main purpose was to smuggle Coconut Monkeys into several minor European countries. That was pretty dumb. Oh, and this one time, at band camp... ---Skorpion

one time while riding my bike as a young lad my shoelace came untied. No big deal, it always came untied.... so I kept riding. Well, it got wrapped around the inside of the pedal and tied me down.When I noticed I proceeded to stop and entangle it. When I stopped, I kind of leaned the wrong way fell right over when I couldn't put my foot down. If that wasn't embarrassing enough, the girl I fancied and a few other assorted minions... err, friends just happened to be watching. *sigh*

That's ok Stilgar, you were just a kid..
5 marshmallows for you...
Stupidest thing I ever did? Or rather most embarrasing.. I have 2 most embarrasing moments.. Which do you want to hear? (a) the one that included a ride in an ambulance or (b) the one that involved alcohol..?

Borg, nope, I never ever run ICQ.. See how low my number is? Well that's how long since I used it..
Allen, will do..
The two stories occurred about 5 years apart I guess... And it looks like the alcohol one is winning, which is unfortunate, since it's HIGHLY embarrassing.. more so than the other one..

Alright.. Basically it involved my 19th birthday.. Obviously time for celebration.. My birthday is near christmas, and happened to be the same day as my college Dept's christmas party.. The day of the party, people started buying me drinks.. A lot of them.. which I drank very fast.. Very fast.. (for those interested, I was drinking Cider).. Well, I got so ill, that the inevitable happened, I threw up.. Not on a person, but to the side of me, where a few people had stored their belongings, including one of the faculty members.. Basically, I spewed on my teacher's sweater.. Sorry Dr Buckley, I didn't mean to..
Was the source of much hilarity (on everyone else's part) and embarrassment (on mine) for the remainder of the time I was at college..

Lucia, you may need a bigger mug of hot chocolate to fit all of these marshmallows. [ March 26, 2001: Message edited by: Stilgar ]
