The Amusing Anecdote Thread

Hmmm, lets see. Once I was fishing at my wheelchair camp. I caught a fish, and held it over my head in triumph. Then you'll never guess what happened.

Guess.

Give up? The fish peed on me. I'm surprized I still like to fish after that. The funny part is, at the end of camp, everyone gets custom made awards, and my counsiler made me a Peeing Fish Award, which consisted of a paper fish on top of popcicle sticks (the fish I still have, and it reminds me of Lew Zeland's fish for some reason ) and a squirt gun attached to the back of it.
I'll try to think of more later.

Well here is a little anecdotey quote thing I picked up. "An Architect is one is not macho enough to be a builder, and not fey enough to be a designer".

Okay, so you know how when you were a kid, and if you broke an arm or a leg, having all your classmates and stuff sign your cast was like so cool?

Thankfully, I never broke an arm, or a leg... but I DID break my toe for those who may remember about four years ago or so...

Anyway, because of that, I had to wear a special shoe for a little while, and I was looking forward to having my shoe signed much like everybody signs someone's cast... so guess what happened? NOBODY wanted to sign my shoe... save for my best friend IRL...

I was at a signing last week to meet Carlos Bernard from "24". there were about 20 people penned in to this part of the store to wait because we were there early and someone's phone rang. everybody in the pen suddenly checked their phones because apparently all of us have the same ringtone, the one used in the program at CTU.

Well, this was something that happened today at Target. My mom and I were in the toy department, and I found some Sesame Street 40th Anniversary plush toys. I hadn't really watched a lot of Sesame Street until the Season 40 premier, and I didn't know instantly offhand what the Honker plush was, so I looked at its tag. It said, "Grover."

My mom sent out about thirty or so invitations to my graduation, and outside of family, only ONE person came.

I did get a lot of money from various people, but other than that, I'd rather people had come to see me graduate instead of sending me money.

So the other day I was talking to a guy nearing middle age dressed in drag as a fat belly dancer and we started talking about the Henson Company following on from him seeing my tattoo. He told me how he got to go to the Creature Shop in London when he was working on the Doctor Dolittle stage show. I was thinking "this guy actually appreciates all things Henson related" from how he was talking, then he points at the picture on my t-shirt of Elmo's head and says
"Is that Grover?"

lol

This was about a month ago, the last day of school before Thanksgiving break if I'm remembering correctly. I was very bored in English class, so I started drawing a bit of Muppet fanart, and some random chick in that class looked at my doodle of Boober and said that it was "sexy." LOL, silly creatures, indeed, eh?

I don't get the current misuse of the term "sexy" to describe something pleasing... like here several years ago, a member mentioned that DVDAficianado's new website layout was "sexy" and I'm like WT F?

I mean if you see a hot chick walking down the street and say she's "sexy", that's one thing, but anything else like a layout or a new piece of technology, that's just plain messed up.

That's a sexy way of putting it.
