I've sailed across the English Channel four times in a tall ship.

One like this:

Once I went to a farm and learned how a cow is milked

pao-lino 10.10.2006 11:44 AM

I cycled all around corse with my father. tour de corse. I was 14.

Inhuman 10.10.2006 11:53 AM

One time I watched larry king. It was alright, I don't see anything special though

Disgruntled Youth 10.10.2006 11:55 AM

I destroyed classrooms in a public school.

nicfit 10.10.2006 12:01 PM

i saved a boy who wanted to commit suicide from the roof of my school.
sadly enough 2 years later he drawned in a lake during summer vacations.
nowadays three birches planted in the school's garden commemorate his existence.

I ate mushrooms everyday (sometimes twice a day) for two and a half weeks. people speak of mushrooms having some kind of tolerance like acid, but I can assure you, they are ALL mistaken.

porkmarras 10.10.2006 01:43 PM

I fed and stared at some pigeons even though i hate those creatures.

smothered 10.10.2006 01:48 PM

here's a move i occasionally pull during the summer:

there's this campground near my house and when i drive home from work at 3am i lay on the horn as i drive by all the tents & trailers.

i know, what a dick.

I went skateboarding at a skatepark in the middle of a bunch of tents during this huge local music festival at 4 AM. It was wonderful. Some bitch came out and started yelling and I just told her to be quiet or she'd wake up the other campers.

I've been to a World Series game.

DemonBox 10.10.2006 02:12 PM

I have consumed two fish-eyes, and it's not that bad.

!@#$%! 10.10.2006 02:20 PM

do you want us to tell you things at random?

or do you want us to tell you things we've done "randomly" as kinda like in a misunderstanding of the existentialist's "free action"?

well??

touch me i'm sick 10.10.2006 02:34 PM

i stole little boy suspenders from the lsot and found at a dance studio. some little kid out there is probably very upset.

TheDom 10.10.2006 02:46 PM

I wrote $1,000,000 really big on a poster board, put an old suite on and knocked on people's doors telling them they won $1,000,000. Got it all on film too.

I had a good friend who was engaged to this girl named Jennifer. She called off their engagement and informed my friend that she was seeing another guy. She was in medical school at the time and she was messing around with some foreign guy who was here studying to be a doctor.

My friend moved from here up to College Station, Texas. At the time, he was a fulltime employee of the United States Postal Service, but the only opening where he was moving to was a rural part-time carrier. They told him that after a few months, they would probably have a fulltime position available for him. A few months came and went and he was still part-time. To help make ends meet, he got a part-time job at Target. I'm not sure why (it sure wasn't money), but he loved working at Target and gave up the Post Office to go full-time with Target. He loved working there.

A year or so later, he found out that his old girlfriend was now engaged to this foreign doctor. Their wedding shower was going to take place in Florida. They were registered at Target and my friend started checking their registry every few days.......this is when things started to get good.

Each time he would check the registry, he would scan an item and scanning it would remove the item from their "want list." He did this for over a two week period and single handily removed just about every item on the list. Of course, all the friends and family who were going to attended the shower......they were unable to find anything to purchase from the "want list" on the registry.

The big day came and when it came time to open the presents at the bridal shower, no one had anything from the list. OH - the people attending showed up with some sort of gifts (mostly gift cards), but no one had the actually things they wanted.

My friend ended up getting fired and it's one of the best stories that I know of :)

Hey Jennifer - if you somehow end up reading this......:fuckyou:


haha nice, totally worth it. Good read!

Oh and TheDom, you should make a YSI link for the videos, that would be interesting to watch

TheDom 10.10.2006 03:02 PM

I don't think I can.

I only have it on VHS and I don't think I could ever figure out how to record it on the computer.

TheDom 10.10.2006 03:06 PM

You could watch my 7th grade box office smash hit "Alien Warship Part 1"

EMMAh 10.10.2006 03:08 PM

Oh man, I've done sooo many random things in my short life.

hmmmm, was it YOU that spraypainted all those "pacmans" around the city? Seriously, they're everywhere.

wax 10.10.2006 03:11 PM

me and my x used to go into a shoddy graveyard at night with torches.
it was in prague and for some reason they didnt fill the graves with dirt, they just pushed a big concrete slab over the top so they could add more corpses from teh same family later. we could see thru the cracks. the coffins had rotted and we could see the bones. there was one guy who was 200 years old with a whole row of gold teeth.
interesting.

touch me i'm sick 10.10.2006 03:13 PM

And one can add the difficulty of the task of just choosing one story to the dilemmas related in the above post.

Grrrrrrr, those pacman things piss me off! If you're going to spray paint something do something cool, not just some dinky pacman. I do however like those blob monster things with the upside down heart (if that makes any sense it you)

k-krack 10.10.2006 03:24 PM

But in response to the threads Q... I have hated on many a person for the misuse of the word "random". ESPECIALLY the fucking idiot teenagers that call themselves random, or things they do random. When you ahve been planning to say "purple monkey" out loud in class when asked a question all day, it is not random. Fuck you.

WHICH IS NOT an attack at you, Mister Thread Maker. I'm just sayin'.

I have gone to church when I was like.. 4, only because I slept at my religious aunt+uncle+cousins' house on a saturday... First+last time ever.

I never knew you were from Ottawa. ... I knew Inhuman was though... I was there.. for about an hour. I bought my mom and dad a cake at the big bakery in the market area!

EMMAh 10.10.2006 03:31 PM

Alright, some of my random things.

~ Me and my friends found a giant bag on takeout from Boston Pizza in the parking lot that someone had driven away and left, so we ate it.
~ Made one of those Blair Witch stick men out of branches and hung it over the middle of some pond
~ stole some guys flower pot full of plants randomly one night. We had a Fisher Price wagon tied to the back of a bike and bungee corded the plants in.

Once, Fell in love with a girl
fell in love once and almost completely
she's in love with the world
but sometimes these feelings
can be so misleading
she turns and says are you alright?
I said I must be fine cause my heart's still beating
come and kiss me by the riverside,
bobby says it's fine he don't consider it cheating

Red hair with a curl
mellow roll for the flavor
and the eyes were peeping
can't keep away from the girl
these two sides of my brain
need to have a meeting
can't think of anything to do
my left brain knows that
all love is fleeting
she's just looking for something new
and I said it once before
but it bears repeating

You must spread some "HI-OHH!!"s around before giving it to TheDom again. ed mcmahon is your bitch.

I don't really recall the ones with the upside down heart myself, but I'd probably know what you mean if I saw one. Apparently the pacmans are the symbol of one of the biggest spray painter dudes in ottawa, and he passed away, and so people spraypainted pacman ghosts to remember him. That's what I heard, don't know how true it is. I'm just really annoyed that someone tore down the "swap box". It was a small box on the rideau side (heading towards end hits) and you put swap an item thats in the box with something of your own. It was the coolest idea ever, and I was always hoping someone would leave a joint or something

Nice! I love going to the market area, it's the only place in ottawa that I know of that sells WIRE magazines on the shelf.

TheDom 10.10.2006 08:00 PM

I watched One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest today. My new favorite movie

Cantankerous 10.10.2006 08:04 PM

once i fell down a stairwell and my arm went through a pane of glass in the door at the bottom and i have a purple scar on the top of my wrist from it.

finding nobody 10.10.2006 08:05 PM

Once I stayed up for 36 hours without any kind of drug aside from caffine (sodas)

Once I broke my arm when I was 4 by jumping out a swing
