Mix three cups of raw cane sugar with two thirds of a cup of water. Bring them to a boil and reduce to a simmer, stirring for five minutes or so.

Make some coffee (about a cup and a half's worth), and very slowly mix this into the sugar mix. Stir for another couple of minutes.

Let the resulting mixture cool completely, and then add a pint of vodka and a tablespoon of vanilla. Mix it well, pour into a litre bottle (or something relatively similar to a Kahlua bottle) and fill to the top with cold water.

Et voila! Homemade Kahlua.

Oh, this incident is worthy of note:

*I'm at the mall with a bunch of my friends, for some reason (I don't really remember why) we are all in suits and ties*

I promptly decide that we are going to be a political campaign committee, running a candidate for the state congress. I decided I'd be the candidate, and so our little group tore around the mall saying we were running for state representative. We were asking for votes and stuff. It was amusing.

Jack Johnson was the first black heavy weight boxing champion. In the early part of the 20th century he was a black man who was fearless in how he lived his personal life, appearing in public with a never ending string of white women.

Someone once asked him why white women went for black guys, such as himself.

His reponse?

"Because we eat cold eels and think distant thoughts."

I have no idea what that means, but it sounds about as random as anything I have heard.

That's awesome!

One time I memorized all the bubbles I had filled in for a test on a multiple-choice shet, all 60 or so. I bet somebody that I could get more than 3/4 of them correct, and managed to convince a teacher to give me an empty sheet and score it. I only got 1 wrong!
Then I got in trouble next class because I was supposed to be doing my math homework during that time.

I don't know... my randomness scale kinda busts through the end of the thermometer--that is, if a thermometer happened to measure randomness, of course. And also on the condition that the earth was made of jello and there was a pancake stuck in the middle of it that all the zebras were trying to dig through and get it so that they could run around with it on their head.

But anyway, the most random and weird thing... well, one thing I did was run and bound throughout the halls of my school and getting about 2 inches away from people's faces and saying "I'm a shoelace!" with googley eyes. That was fun with a side of whipped cream.

I couldn't possibly guess. Let's say that several people weren't surprised when my friend and I started headbutting each other while making bull horns on our heads with our fingers and let it escalate into a full-blown game of tag. They were probably used to us acting like lemmings, talking like the Budweiser weasel, quoting Space Ghost, polishing each other's doors with our foreheads, and so forth.

I sat in a lawn chair in a tree with a funny hat on. I wore shorts every day of high school (I'm from Minnesota), and I wore a different hat every day for a few months. I've had a lightsaber fight on the roof of a dining hall, taken stuffed animals to the movies, played hide and seek in a grocery store, deliberately knocked down my own tent, and bussed my own table at a restaurant.

And I was a lot more strange when I was young. I can't imagine that any of these things could be the most random thing I've done.

Ooh, I once purposely didn't stake down a tent because I wanted to see what it felt like to blow away in a tent. It wasn't the smartest idea I ever came up with, but it was pretty fun until I got hit on the head with a lantern.

I've had some experience with that, too. I was camping in the middle of a field. As luck would have it, there was a severe thunderstorm that night, involving a bit of hail and 90mph straight line winds. A nearby airplane hangar was destroyed, so you can imagine that my tent didn't stand a chance. I woke up lying in a puddle and was the only thing keeping my tent down. So, I'd like to say that I know what it's like to be a tent stake.

Speaking of crazy storms while camping, I once slept through my tent being a wind tunnel. My tentmate woke me up to make me get a rock to hold down a tent flap. He'd already gotten the other three. I don't see why he couldn't have just let me sleep.

No, I don't, and I can assure you that the memory isn't that useful. The logic process is much more important. If you understand the way of thinking, then there isn't much to remember at all.

I agree that the mathematical way of thinking is fundamental, but a good memory will help immensely. The thinking process makes sense of the formulae, but you still need to know what they are.

You don't need to memorize the formulae at all. They're mostly restatements of the exact same idea. I have memorized the things that I use regularly, but it isn't because I made a concerted effort to memorize them. When I need to know something random, I can either look it up or derive it on the spot.

I've said some very strange and random things in my life, but most of it i don't remember. here are a few famous ones:

-"man, those guys are camel ****ers" - when listening to manu chao with a few friends.

-In a conversation about sex, one of the questions that came up was the strangest place. One of the girls wasn't exactly sure what is considered a strange place, so she asked. My direct reply was "On your grandfather's tombstone". She was a bit shocked as she is a bit oversensative and i think she tried to imagine her doing it.

But the most random thing i ever heard was from a guy in my class. It was a dull English lesson and the teacher was just reading a text and most of us weren't mentally in the classroom. All of a sudden he shouts "caterpillar". Everyone was stunned and it took the teacher about 10 seconds to ask why he shouted that. He couldn't explain it and he seemed unaware that he had shouted it. Very strange

Rouge Angelica, the contortion and your paticular randomity sounds neat. I know I can move my earsat will with my hands being nowhere nearby, and I do some contortion, which has led to a fellow on seeing me stretch up for a race telling me not to put my hip out.
Well there's all my antics in room 3b (verbose and roleplaying randomness) and he hats and hings I used to wear to highschool. I've lost most of them now, but I had a fedora, two berets (still got them), a Greek Fisherman's cap, a corderuoy cap in similay style and a teacosy with a sewn up spouthole. The last one I only wore once becuase I discovered some rust stains, but it attracted some comment, for sure. Of the hats I still have I still wear the hats, and a pocketwatch. I'm developing a clown gag, too, where I pass my hands and arms between my face and the audience and change expression as its blocked.

Here, here... I wonder if plants can be gay?

Plants can indeed be gay. I used to work in the spinach fields. They'd plant four rows of male plants, then 12 of female. The male would have (I am not making this up) yellow balls, and the female would have green. If the green one's got hit by pollen from the yellow, they would slowly turn yellow, then go on to infect the one's near them. So wouldn't that changling, who was having "pollen sex" with a male plant, then turning around and having it with a female plant be considered gay?

However, I had a student today (I teach high school English) tell me that her laptop was gay. We then had a 2 minute discussion about how she knew that her laptop was male, how it could tell other laptops were male too, and how it new it was attracted to them. Also how she knew what it was thinking. And, if it was uncomfortable with her, a known girl, to be fondling it the way she was.

So that's random for you.
