It happened again, boredom has taken over. Somebody tell me an interesting story, I just may have one in return....

(keep em relatively short, but then again, beggers cant be choosers)

Well, one way to get you less bored is to start a poll:
Are you bored?
Yes
Not yet

I'll find some funny stories to tell you in a moment :D

bored here too

watching kung pow... it funny

I have an interesting story; I met a friend through Friends Reunited website. I hadn't seen him for five years. That is the most interesting story in the entire galaxy. Nothing could ever come so close.

Here's a story for you, then.

We had a group into work today (I'm a makeup artist for a fashion photography company) that only spoke Spanish, pre-booked by our only bilingual individual who didn't come in for another hour, and they had lots of questions. I know about seven phrases, and could only understand a little bit (from two years of Spanish in middle school and three years of Latin in high school), so we had to go online and type out the entire contract to translate it to Spanish for them, then couldn't accurately answer their questions, then couldn't figure out what they wanted for their makeup or hair. I finally settled on simply asking "Natural o dramatico" and "Derecho o encrespado" (the latter of which actually means "stirred up" rather than curly, but they figured it out) and working from there. It sucked. But my manager bought me dinner for all my hard work. Yay.

Then I went and bought a pair of jeans.

That's all I can offer.......

here goes...

Saw a Conan O'Brien interview with Kate Hudson this week, she is the hottest girl ever. My wife thinks she is earthy or "bohemian" but I think she is the closest thing in the world to perfection, at least that I have seen so far....

You know how husband and wives make the deal of "if you ever get a chance to, it wont be cheating if it is this person?" Well my person is definitely Kate Hudson... (hers is Orlando Bloom)

Orlando Bloom...mine too.

Well, the smokers thread reminded me of this:

A while ago, I saw a show where a guy did a calculation. Seeing that smoking ages you and sex makes you younger, he calculated how much sex someone that smoked a pack a day would have to have to make up for it (about six orgasms to one cigarette). Turned, after subtracting time for sleeping and eating and work and what not, sex needed to be performed every six minutes.

*looks at watch* I gotta go... :D

good start.... Keep those stories coming... ((Perks up ears like an interested puppy))

Once upon a time there were three little pigs. Then they went to bed. The next morning they woke up and found that they were tied up in their blankets and sitting on some sort of platter, carried by a giant waitress. Think if you were in this situation; would you:

A:Try to roll of the plate and hope you don't die from the fall... :rolleyes:

B:Try to untangle yourself from the blanket... :headbang:

C:Scream at the waitress that you are not dead... :eek:

D:Hopefully the customer is the kind of person who unwraps their pigs-in-blankets and eats the sausage and the pankake separetly, and when he/she does you go all kung-fu and kick their butt... :sniper:

E:Pray to whatever diety you worship... :p

F:Realize that you are doomed and commit suicide... :headbang:

G:Realize that you are doomed and wait to get eaten. :eek:

H:You are too scared to do anything. :confused:

Well, here's another then.

I've worked in a summer camp for some time. One particular day, when we were busy closing camp down for the summer and everyone was taking a break from work when the camp paymaster (who's a nice guy, yet incredibly unpractical and stingy) came up to us and asked: "Would any of you gentlemen like free drinks?"
I knew at the time, and some of the others must have at least suspected, that there would be a catch. But it was free drinks, so we went with him to the trading post.
"Here gentlemen," he said, pointing to the canisters that held the soft drinks for the soft drinks machine. "Once you finished emptying those, it'll be easier to bring them down to the dining hall..."

oooooh, camp story.....This could bring up a whole nother topic... Who has a good camp story... I am sure someone has the infamous tale of the "this one time at summer camp"...

I have a short one.

A man once was bored. After giving a moment of thought to what he would do to solve this problem, he decided upon frittering away his time by informing the members of a forum that he frequented of his plight. Soon enough, an insightful member of that forum posted an allegorical short story regarding a hypothetical character in the same situation as the man who originally posted the topic. After reading the story, the poster of the topic reflected briefly on what he had done and what had brought him to do it. The wisdom of the story began to set in his mind and it became clear what he should do.

He got up, went outside, and went for a walk. Twenty minutes later, he arrived back home, rejuvinated and re-sensitized.

The end.

oooooh, camp story.....This could bring up a whole nother topic... Who has a good camp story... I am sure someone has the infamous tale of the "this one time at summer camp"...Oh, I've got plenty. There's just some taboo that camp staff shouldn't be sharing these kinds of stories with outsiders. That and a lot of them might not be appropriate (boy scouts can get pretty darn vulgar when they get older :D )
