random things you have done in your existence

share some stories. I'll go last.

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

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

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

I destroyed classrooms in a public school.

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.

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

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've been to a World Series game.

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

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??

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

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.

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

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.
