This is a kind of awesome moment, actually. I catch a lot of jokes for having a spine made of titanium, all in good fun of course -- and I'm also ridiculously skinny and not very tall. So just the other day, the dorm was having a liquid nitrogen ice cream party when a friend of mine bet that I couldn't give her a piggy back ride, while others protested that my spine was more than up to the task. Anyway, not only was I successful but I managed to run a lap around the room before she jumped off. I have never felt so proud.

Another friend of mine is an architecture major. He spent the entire first semester working his ass off, spending ridiculous hours in studio making models. By the end of the semester, he was in serious existential crisis mode and was near death. So a month ago, he decides to clean his room of architecture models. With FIRE. We took the models out to the courtyard, doused them in isopropanol and sterno, and made a bonfire out of those motherfuckers. We caught it all on film, too.
This reminds me of a similarly stupid story from my youth. I'm not sure if modern playgrounds have this, but when I was in elementary school we had this dome-shaped climbing thing. All metal bars and connections to form a series of triangles. My friends and I were playing some kind of pretend game (I believe it was Zelda), and the kid who was Ganon was inside the dome.
Well, he stuck his head out at one point and I, being some kind of good guy who wasn't Link (who knows, I think we made up other characters) decided that Ganon had to be stopped. So I pushed his head as hard as I could down onto the horizontal bar his neck was hovering over such that I cut off the entirety of his air flow.
I think I was like 7 years old, so I probably should have known better. I let up after it became clear that he was not exactly breathing in the way one might traditionally expect, and his face was kinda blue, along with a huge red mark on his neck. Lucky me, we were good enough friends that he didn't tell the teacher.
I don't think we really played together after that though.
Aw geez. I just nearly strangled a friend of mine while trying to give her a hug. Right in front of everybody, too. She was gasping and everything. I feel like such a tool.
I lost my virginity when i was 18. I had a fairly long term girlfriend and we would always go to her parents house to do it, because i had 5 younger siblings and my parents wouldn’t let me put a lock on my bedroom door.
Anyway, i was never entirely sure what to do with the used condoms, so i flushed them down the toilet. Anyway, after a few months of this, i was leaving their house one day and overheard her mother on the phone to a plumber or something, about a broken toilet.
The next time i went round, her dad said to me “Val, i’m going to have to ask you to stop flushing johnnies down the toilet”. It was horrible. Definitely the most embarrassing moment of my life.

So is this what it's going to be like for me on this forum? I posted a discussion about how i intend to revolutionise the gaming industry. You guys didn't like the idea, and now i'm going to hear about it in every thread that i visit?
Now people are going to ask about the Nazi thing, and i'll get accused of "trolling".
And i'm not embarrassed about dressing up as video game characters (not just Dr Richtofen) to enhance my enjoyment (not just performance) of video games. It's something that i enjoy doing, and i couldn't care less if other people think it's weird. Some of you need to get over yourselves.

If you laughed it off no one would really care. People get their stuff linked and quoted all the time, how they react determines whether it lasts.
It's a shame the discussion was locked. One or two of you were being very helpful, and i had a lot of other ideas i wanted to get opinions on. But what can you do.
I never got an answer as to why it was locked. Too revolutionary, maybe.

A few years ago, freshman year of college, my roommate and I (like a lot of college students in a dorm) lived in pretty squalid conditions. We would have trash strewn about the floor and of course this lead to us having roaches. It was really disgusting at first and I'd freak out at them, but eventually you learn to live with it, and you just accept the fact when you wake up you might have a roach in your blanket. I would go out and buy cans of Raid to kill them every so often, because I knew where they would like to hide.
Then...one day I saw my roommate had left the drawer on his desk open. And he had tins of dip just open, and it was starting to stink so I just decide to clean it up. I open the desk drawer fully. Then BOOM! I see maybe 5 roaches go scurrying away, but ya know whatever no big deal for us. He comes back and asks what happened to his dip cans I told him that they were stinkin' up the joint and I had to clean it up and I told him there were roaches in his drawer. He thought that was disgusting and we discussed it and we set out to find out where all the roaches were coming from. I don't remember what possessed us, but instantly we open up his printer / scanner and lo' and behold!
AN ENTIRE FUCKING ROACH COLONY IN HIS PRINTER! Maybe 1000 or so!
Since light was flooding the colony the roaches went EVERYWHERE and I was spraying the floor with Raid killing them and my roommate was punching the floor with his bare fists killing them. We were never really the same.

That's horrifying. I have an irrational fear of roaches, to the point that I still haven't clicked that spoiler in case there's a picture or something.
Were they the little ones or the Real Deal that drag off babies?

No pics.
As for the big ones carrying off babies, I think you may be mistaking Jews for roaches. It's a common mistake.

I believe roaches can eat paper. Plus, it's dark in there, infrequently disturbed.
They actually kind of like nesting in electronics, I've heard it's the constant warmth. At one of the libraries in our system roaches set up shop inside of a desktop, the people had no idea until one day they all came spilling out.
I can guarantee if that happened to me I'd never have set foot in that building again.
When I was a kid we had a station wagon with power windows. One time we were on vacation parked at the restroom or something and I was looking out the back right window when it started rolling up. I start yelling for whoever's in the driver seat to stop rolling up the window, they're going to choke me! My mom was in the passenger seat and yells back that there was no one in the driver seat pushing the button. The car was trying to kill me!
Of course it turns out that I just had my knee on the button. Luckily windows didn't roll up as fast in the early 90's. Also I don't know why I didn't just pull my head out of the window when it was first rolling up and waited til it was basically at neck level to try and fail to extract my fat head. But yeah, almost choked myself with a car window.

Hey...Kamar!
I knew what was going to happen and I still clicked it. I hate you.
Roaches are my second least favorite creature in the world; the first is ticks. But while roaches are generally pretty harmless (and ticks aren't) roaches can move a LOT faster. Many many embarrassing moments have resulted when I screamed like a ninny because I saw a large roach.
In my junior year of high school it was pretty much the last few weeks of school. So during our gym class it was pretty much goof-off weeks and we just did whatever. So we played this modified form of kick ball where the bases were those huge gym mats that you could just keep stacking people on or make a run for the next few bases if you thought you could make it. To get out, you had to tag the base before the people made it or nail them with the fucking ball.
So. I'm up to kick. Bam, it goes flying. I take off. I make it to first, then second, then third, but I won't be able to get past third, but oh fuck I can't fucking stop. Oh shit. So I just fucking take out all 5 people on the base. Like bowling. I bruised up a girl pretty good too because I basically landed on top of her after a pretty intensive sprint.
I still feel bad about doing it.
Mat Ball! Shit yes.
Mat ball was awesome. There was this girl I couldn't stand, so as she was running to home I threw it as hard as possible at her head. The ball hit her so hard in mid stride her feet flew out from under her. That game rocked

When I first moved into this apartment I'm pretty sure my room was the main entry point for roaches, so I found a fair amount. The first one I saw grossed me out, but I got over it pretty quick, I'd either kill them or they'd manage to scurry someplace safe. Whatever.
Except, of course, this one time I was trying to kill one, and it ran into the partially opened closet. I went over, opened the door to look for it and BUZZ the thing flies out full speed within an inch of face. Yeah, didn't see where it landed as I ran out of the room freaking the fuck out. Ugh, so nasty.

Oh, roach stories. It's pretty strange, and kinda embarrassing.
My first apartment was a 300 sq ft efficiency. It was crappy, in a crappy part of town. I lived there with my girlfriend, and we slept on a twin mattress that was on the floor. Sleeping on your side pressed against the wall is fun. Anyway, we had a bit of a bug problem, but couldn't really find where they were coming from. Pretty much every other night or so, one of us would be woken up by a roach scurrying across us. The face was the coolest. That went on for about 3 months until my lease ran out (short term lease).
When we were cleaning it up before moving out, we noticed the huge sliding window that overlooked these narly, out of control bushes had been open like half a foot the whole time (it was summer, so we just had a huge sheet covering that wall.
My mum was microwaving some pizza in her apartment in Austin when she noticed there was a roach in there with it. She decided to just keep the microwave going and zapped the thing for a couple of minutes. Didn't do a lick of harm to it.

I think claiming to dress as a nazi to enhance your gaming is a teeny bit more embarrassing than that.

I think it's mainly the electronics, though. I think they're attracted to that. The other things are a bonus for them.
I think I'd have nightmares though if I tried to print something and a swarm of roaches came out.
