(actually l(ing)ol would you believe...?)

Look up at the night sky through a toilet-roll tube
Have an accident with clippers


Both of these I have done...

[nevla.livejournal.com]

LOL!

thats a much more interesting version...

[nisaba.livejournal.com]

Aw man, I shoulda done yours! Fantastic :)

[nickys.livejournal.com]

Well I've done

37. Ask a stranger outside for a fight.
and
50. Hit someone who's obviously got far too much time on his hands.

(so long as we assume that turning up at combat practice counts as having too much time on your hands...)

You SWAM in DRINK?

Please tell me you're not going to cop out and say "well, water is a drink y'know?"... I REALLY like the image of you jumping into a vat of ale.

[naturalbornkaos.livejournal.com]

Ooh crikey, reading that back it sounds faintly threatening! :o

I obviously meant jumping into a vat of ale and swimming around merrily in it, rather than jumping into a vat of ale and drowning! Just felt I should disclaim that, lest you get the wrong impression! :)

[zotz]

I am ashamed to admit that I just emboldened a few almost at random. I do know someone who had a bath of beer, though, if that helps. I'm sure it doesn't.

[naturalbornkaos.livejournal.com]

Anyone I know? And dare I ask for specifics of the incident?

[scy11a.livejournal.com]

Apparently it is impossible to swim in beer (well according to drpyrojames. Something to do with the bubbles forming around you and reducing the upthrust so you sink and drown....

[zotz]

Depends whether the bubbles can be persuaded to stick to you or lodge in your clothing, possibly.

48. Have an accident with clippers

I hit my head on a doorframe when I was on the Cutty Sark...does that count?

[zotz]

Boom! Boom!

32. Have an uncontrollable epileptic fit at the worst possible moment

Now this one I have done.

Twice.

The first Grand-mal I ever had was when I was in the process of donning a condom...

The second was when I'd just bolted the bathroom door & turned on the shower - causing me to drop the shower head onto the floor, flooding the living room below... (but luckily not drowning myself)

On both occasions, the same paramedics had to persuade me to stop wandering round the house bollock-naked afterwards, put on the nice blanket, and lie down on the stretcher...

They visited me in hospital the next day too - my girlfriend reconned I'd pulled...

You have to laugh really 8-)

[zotz]

Or cry, but laughing's usually more fun if you can manage it.

[shaunotd.livejournal.com]

And a lot more helpful than sitting round moping! I could never be a proper Goth - the cold desperate futility of existence just makes me giggle.

[inulro.livejournal.com]

I think I aspire to more of yours than the original. Particularly 43.

(What does it say about me that I do clean behind my fridge regularly anyway).

[technotom.livejournal.com]

Be sure to leave number three until last.

[scy11a.livejournal.com]

#11 - I know a young lady who did just that. Apparently the wind whistles rather disconcertingly about one's nether regions.... (although she obviously didn't go completely nude and stripping off the parachute as well would have been rather foolhardy at 8,000 feet)

And did youyour friend enjoy this experience? Does it come recommended?
