But if you're insistant that only one of us has a great mind, I have no problem with it, since we both know it's me. ;)
I'm not really insistant, but your claim really only validates my claim that I am the great mind. You really don't want to get into a test of egos with me, Lady. I fight those battle to win, even if that means a dirty fight. Besides, there're more important things to read than pointless flamebaiting. Try the more pointed ones. They're much tastier.:D

sorry, got a picture of a person holding a nuke saying "so I just drop them, right? is here a good place?"

there was a Japanese Sci Fi movie a loong time ago. translated to english, the villan pulls out a grenade and says...
"I have a neuclear Handgrenade..."

hey... it's simple for you. but some computers have TWO buttons. A power button as well as a Reset button.

add to that the monitors tend to have a OMD, contrast, brightness as well as power...

you're asking alot for some of these PEBCAK's
It's the button with the power symbol on it. It's the same as TVs...my god, this world IS doomed. I might as well blow it up with my nukes now.

Naw... create a Light Grenade. that will weed out the ID10Ts...
Here is, quite possibly, the most endearing part of the movie. As the platoon of imperial troops rolls into camp, Dick leaves a "light grenade" in his bedroll (conveniently marked with a prominent sign). The light grenade is a device that, once the pin is pulled, will vaporize anyone who touches it. This would not be terribly effective on Earth, but it passes for a doomsday device on Spengo. The darn thing has "pick me up" stamped on the side! The soldiers begin falling prey, one after another, to the deadly weapon. Pretty soon there are just two left; while one calls for reinforcements, the other stoops to pick up the grenade...

Our grotto’s annual camping and caving weekend, (W.I.G.-Out) was on the weekend of May 31- Jun. 1st. We had planned on holding it this year at Stagestop Campground, in the Wyandotte Woods area of the Harrison-Crawford State Forest. This is near Corydon, IN., about as far south in Indiana as you can go without crossing the Ohio River, and is about 25 miles from Louisville, KY. Notice that I said “had planned”.
Well, something came up. We got there Fri., and set up camp that evening. The next morning, we had finally decided that our first cave we’d do was Devils’ Graveyard Cave, a short, but very pretty cave some 20 miles or so from base camp. We got there around 10 a.m. Sat., talked to the landowner and got the key to the gate, and walked down to the cave. My day was about to end in pretty short order. There were six of us, all told, and we began to get in the cave. The entrance to Devils’ Graveyard Cave is a vertical offset short pit, just a small climb down that leads to a small room under the gated entrance.
What had happened was I was the next to last to enter the cave, and was midway getting in when the gate had then suddenly and unexpectedly come down on my left hand, which was on the frame to the gate. What this did was sever my little finger, and rupture the arteries in the two middle fingers and lacerate the forefinger. It probably would have gotten my head, too, if not for the fact that I had a helmet on, which also minimized to some unknown extent, no doubt, the amount of damage the other three fingers received, not to mention my head. Well, I knew I had hurt my hand, but not how much. I had pushed the gate back up off of my head and started to climb out again, when Shavon Peacock (the only other one of us still out) started in with an “Oh, my goodness!”. Then I looked. What I saw was my little finger, on backwards, against my palm, and hanging on by a shred of skin. I could see the bone, rather neatly, cut in half. Cool. The reason I wasn’t initially alarmed when the gate had come down, was that it didn’t hurt as bad as you would have thought. It was sort of a non-focused sort of burning sensation covering the left side of my left hand. Well, I then immediately clamped my right hand onto my wrist to stanch the blood flow and started up with a mantra of “I gotta get to the hospital, I gotta get to the hospital.”, and started down the hill back to the cars we had left parked up the road some 500 feet or so back at the landowners’ house. Shavon cranked up her own personal panic level by progressing to an “Oh, my God!”, and that was the last I had seen or heard of her for awhile. Bryan Eismeier, another one of us that had already entered the cave popped out, and caught up with me by the time I had gotten back down to the road. The guy is like 20 or so, and a former Eagle Scout, who started to give me the twenty questions routine, which, having been through a first aid course myself, I had recognized as an attempt to keep me alert. Which for some reason amused the hell out of me at the time. Hey, you gotta get your amusement where you can find it, particularly in a situation such as this. By the time we had gotten back to the cars, Brian Dougherty had caught me up and volunteered to drive me to the hospital. Brian was the squeamish sort, so as he drove, he looked everywhere but at my hand, which I had by now had all wrapped up in a little white towel that I had in my caving pack. Brian tried following the directions the landowner had given us to get back, and somehow steered us in the opposite direction of the nearest hospital in Corydon, down toward the river bottoms. So I left my reveries, got us back on the right track, and took personal charge of navigating our way in to Corydon, thinking that the odds were good if I left him to his own devices, we’d wind up somewhere really bizarre and miles away from the nearest hospital, and with me dead from blood loss. I generally have a pretty good sense of direction, and it was an area I was at least partially familiar with. Where we were headed was an entire area with nothing but westbound dead ends, all terminating at Indian Creek. Nope. That wouldn’t do, not at all. So anyway.
We finally arrived at Corydon, and the Harrison County Hospital. We (Brian and I) checked into Emergency and I got a shot of tetanus, and morphine, which I heartily recommend, by the way, if you ever have the misfortune to have your finger amputated. Really good stuff. And I started expressing a desire to notify the wife, which Brian took charge of.
Brian, in his first call, told the wife that I had a bad cut, and needed stitches. This didn’t alarm her too overmuch. Then, in his second call, he then had told her that I had a Really Bad Cut. This might have been due to the fact that he didn’t want to look at me much while en route, perhaps. God knows. But then finally Shavon and Andrew arrived at the hospital, and one of them had loaned me their cel phone to use so I then called the wife and had told her in exquisitely gory detail, the nature of my injuries. Now, having the right information, she became alarmed and began to rip ass her way across Southern Indiana en route to the hospital I now knew was my ultimate destination, Jewish Hospital, in Louisville. I kinda chilled out there in Corydon awhile, waiting on the ambulance to take me there, which for some reason, took an an hour and a half, then at 1:30, having finally found the right sort of EMT’s to take me there, we left. My first ambulance ride. Wheeee.
At Jewish Hospital, I met a multitude of persons who all asked the same damn questions over and over. How did it happen, what was the nature of the injuries, what kind of drugs did you have in your system, how long since your last meal, blah blah blah, ad nauseum. Mostly I just laid down on the cot and looked up at the ceiling, and my little rectangular view out the door of my little cubicle. Then I had a brief jaunt down to radiology, where they took a couple of pictures of The Hand, which was kinda cool too, because the X-Rays of it showed the little finger with a kind of halo midway up the little finger and with no finger past that point. But being a bit of a smart ass, I had to ask the technician, that if X-Rays were so darn safe, then why did she have to run and hide behind a metal shield every time she took a picture? Which she answered, after laughing, very professionally. Her supervisor would have been proud. I’ll tell you what she said later, if you are really interested, but being an old hand at hospital trips like you are, you probably already know the answer to that one. Well, I had to wait for the surgery until six hours had passed from my last meal, which was at 3:30 thereabouts, so that I couldn’t barf all over the surgeon while working on me, I guess. By this time, my two middle fingers were turning gray and cold and I began to worry more about them than I did about the little half finger. They gave me some Demerol, there in the operating room, and some 30 secs. or so later, I was out. I only know this because the next thing that I remember after I woke up, was them casting my entire left arm. By this time, (6:00 p.m.) the wife had arrived and we all went up to my room, where I spent the next two days, being poked and prodded, and being asked a new battery of stupid questions over and over again and having to pee into a portable plastic urinal endlessly, for the first day. The wife was awfully nice about helping me with this little task, though. God love her. I still wasn’t allowed any liquids or food the first 24 hours, so the endless urinal breaks were a complete mystery to me, until it was explained that I was getting all the ammunition for the multiple urinal breaks from my IV bags. Personally, I don’t think I needed that much glucose as much, but rather it was their own little way of motivating you to get up and get mobile again so they could get their bed back ASAP.
So, in a nutshell, what my injuries were, in total was (and all to my left hand), and what they did to the aforementioned parts;
1) Forefinger (stitches, 10 or so.)
2) Bird finger and next in line (reconstructive vascular surgery on both), and,
3) Little finger (reattached, with pins in it to hold it together).
I am supposed to go back to Jewish Hospital tomorrow, (Jun. 26th), for my next appointment, my second, this will be four weeks since the accident, and I am hopeful the pins will come out then. At my first appointment, they took the cast off, and I had my first good look at it since they wrapped my hand up in one big gauzy ball at Harrison County Hospital. I took pictures of it for the eldest female offspring with my new digital camera to at least partially to make up for all the cool pictures I would have taken at WIG-Out, had I not been removed from the equation so quickly. That and the eldest female offspring is kind of a ghoul, and actually wanted to see the wounded fingers in all their gory glory. Ewwww.

What had happened was I was the next to last to enter the cave, and was midway getting in when the gate had then suddenly and unexpectedly come down on my left hand, which was on the frame to the gate. What this did was sever my little finger, and rupture the arteries in the two middle fingers and lacerate the forefinger. It probably would have gotten my head, too, if not for the fact that I had a helmet on, which also minimized to some unknown extent, no doubt, the amount of damage the other three fingers received, not to mention my head. Well, I knew I had hurt my hand, but not how much. I had pushed the gate back up off of my head and started to climb out again, when Shavon Peacock (the only other one of us still out) started in with an “Oh, my goodness!”. Then I looked. What I saw was my little finger, on backwards, against my palm, and hanging on by a shred of skin. I could see the bone, rather neatly, cut in half. Cool. The reason I wasn’t initially alarmed when the gate had come down, was that it didn’t hurt as bad as you would have thought. It was sort of a non-focused sort of burning sensation covering the left side of my left hand. Well, I then immediately clamped my right hand onto my wrist to stanch the blood flow and started up with a mantra of “I gotta get to the hospital, I gotta get to the hospital.”, and started down the hill back to the cars we had left parked up the road some 500 feet or so back at the landowners’ house. Shavon cranked up her own personal panic level by progressing to an “Oh, my God!”, and that was the last I had seen or heard of her for awhile. Bryan Eismeier, another one of us that had already entered the cave popped out, and caught up with me by the time I had gotten back down to the road. The guy is like 20 or so, and a former Eagle Scout, who started to give me the twenty questions routine, which, having been through a first aid course myself, I had recognized as an attempt to keep me alert. Which for some reason amused the hell out of me at the time. Hey, you gotta get your amusement where you can find it, particularly in a situation such as this. By the time we had gotten back to the cars, Brian Dougherty had caught me up and volunteered to drive me to the hospital. Brian was the squeamish sort, so as he drove, he looked everywhere but at my hand, which I had by now had all wrapped up in a little white towel that I had in my caving pack. Brian tried following the directions the landowner had given us to get back, and somehow steered us in the opposite direction of the nearest hospital in Corydon, down toward the river bottoms. So I left my reveries, got us back on the right track, and took personal charge of navigating our way in to Corydon, thinking that the odds were good if I left him to his own devices, we’d wind up somewhere really bizarre and miles away from the nearest hospital, and with me dead from blood loss. I generally have a pretty good sense of direction, and it was an area I was at least partially familiar with. Where we were headed was an entire area with nothing but westbound dead ends, all terminating at Indian Creek. Nope. That wouldn’t do, not at all. So anyway.
We finally arrived at Corydon, and the Harrison County Hospital. We (Brian and I) checked into Emergency and I got a shot of tetanus, and morphine, which I heartily recommend, by the way, if you ever have the misfortune to have your finger amputated. Really good stuff. And I started expressing a desire to notify the wife, which Brian took charge of.
Brian, in his first call, told the wife that I had a bad cut, and needed stitches. This didn’t alarm her too overmuch. Then, in his second call, he then had told her that I had a Really Bad Cut. This might have been due to the fact that he didn’t want to look at me much while en route, perhaps. God knows. But then finally Shavon and Andrew arrived at the hospital, and one of them had loaned me their cel phone to use so I then called the wife and had told her in exquisitely gory detail, the nature of my injuries. Now, having the right information, she became alarmed and began to rip ass her way across Southern Indiana en route to the hospital I now knew was my ultimate destination, Jewish Hospital, in Louisville. I kinda chilled out there in Corydon awhile, waiting on the ambulance to take me there, which for some reason, took an an hour and a half, then at 1:30, having finally found the right sort of EMT’s to take me there, we left. My first ambulance ride. Wheeee.
At Jewish Hospital, I met a multitude of persons who all asked the same damn questions over and over. How did it happen, what was the nature of the injuries, what kind of drugs did you have in your system, how long since your last meal, blah blah blah, ad nauseum. Mostly I just laid down on the cot and looked up at the ceiling, and my little rectangular view out the door of my little cubicle. Then I had a brief jaunt down to radiology, where they took a couple of pictures of The Hand, which was kinda cool too, because the X-Rays of it showed the little finger with a kind of halo midway up the little finger and with no finger past that point. But being a bit of a smart ass, I had to ask the technician, that if X-Rays were so darn safe, then why did she have to run and hide behind a metal shield every time she took a picture? Which she answered, after laughing, very professionally. Her supervisor would have been proud. I’ll tell you what she said later, if you are really interested, but being an old hand at hospital trips like you are, you probably already know the answer to that one. Well, I had to wait for the surgery until six hours had passed from my last meal, which was at 3:30 thereabouts, so that I couldn’t barf all over the surgeon while working on me, I guess. By this time, my two middle fingers were turning gray and cold and I began to worry more about them than I did about the little half finger. They gave me some Demerol, there in the operating room, and some 30 secs. or so later, I was out. I only know this because the next thing that I remember after I woke up, was them casting my entire left arm. By this time, (6:00 p.m.) the wife had arrived and we all went up to my room, where I spent the next two days, being poked and prodded, and being asked a new battery of stupid questions over and over again and having to pee into a portable plastic urinal endlessly, for the first day. The wife was awfully nice about helping me with this little task, though. God love her. I sill wasn’t allowed any liquids or food the first 24 hours, so the endless urinal breaks were a complete mystery to me, until it was explained that I was getting all the ammunition for the multiple urinal breaks from my IV bags. Personally, I don’t think I needed that much glucose as much, but rather it was their own little way of motivating you to get up and get mobile again so they could get their bed back ASAP.
So, in a nutshell, what my injuries were, in total was (and all to my left hand), and what they did to the aforementioned parts;
1) Forefinger (stitches, 10 or so.)
2) Bird finger and next in line (reconstructive vascular surgery on both), and,
3) Little finger (reattached, with pins in it to hold it together).
I am supposed to go back to Jewish Hospital tomorrow, (Jun. 26th), for my next appointment, my second, this will be four weeks since the accident, and I am hopeful the pins will come out then. At my first appointment, they took the cast off, and I had my first good look at it since they wrapped my hand up in one big gauzy ball at Harrison County Hospital. I took pictures of it for the eldest female offspring with my new digital camera to at least partially to make up for all the cool pictures I would have taken at WIG-Out, had I not been removed from the equation so quickly. That and the eldest female offspring is kind of a ghoul, and actually wanted to see the wounded fingers in all their gory glory. Ewwww.

Do you spend every waking moment of your life in a computer lab playing World of Warcraft getting fat and stupid and alienating all of your family and friends? That's what I'd call pathetic.
Nope. Mine go back to before my computer days. All I did was read. School was nothing because they couldn't teach me what I already knew. At the time, though, I really had no friends and only nominally a family. those aren't the secrets, but that's the setting from which the secrets developed. Now's the part where you lose still more interest and just stop replying to any posts related to my pathetic secrets.

Oh it hurt, alright. It just didn't hurt as much as I had thought it would. It mostly just felt like I had dipped my hand in scalding hot water. It just wasn't the thunderbolt of incapacitating pain you would've thought it was.

P.S. This story is now close to three years old. My formerly severed little finger is just fine, though it was reattached somewhat crookedly. I didn't complain.

speaking of Hawaii.

I know alot of you have heard of the people here believing in ghosts and spirits. well I got a couple of stories that made me a believer.

1) My cousin owned a resturant in one of our smaller shopping centers. Next door, there is a community theater that sits in a cemetary. one year, the theater was undergoing renovations. and during this time, very weird things were happening in his restruant. Customers appearing and dissapearing without a trace (and without ordering so they wern't stealing anything) he's seen people sitting in booths way after closing. and so did several others. the people just smiled and seem to enjoy the quiet resturant. (which would be a change from all the construction noise at the theatre.) the visitations stopped the day construction did.

2) this happened to me. there is a Boy Scout camp up in the mountains. one night several of us (4) were camping there over the weekend, and for shits and giggles, we pulled out a tape recorder, opened a brand new tape (unwrapped it) and popped it in. we just talked about anything and everything. no real conversation.

the next day, we played that tape... and we all sat there listening... and all wondering the same thing. who was the 5th voice on that tape? no matter how many times we replayed that tape, no matter how high we cranked that volume, we could not identify that fifth voice that was chanting in Hawaiian.

we just took the tape out of the recorder... and buried it up in the hills.

Ever played around with a Ouiji board? Those things are creepy. We actually played around with one in my psychology class a couple of years ago.

My friend brought in her ouiji board, which, according to her, was actually mor ethan 100 years old. The whole class (it wasn't a very big class) gathered around the board and two people put their hands on the needle and we started asking it questions. Of course, the needle starts moving. I've played with Ouiji boards before, even by myself. Apparently you need two people with their hands on the needle at the same time for it to move, but I was playing around with it one day, and the needle moved by itself with only my hands on it. I swear I was not pushing it at all. I actually took my hands completely off for a second and it moved by itself.

Anyway, we asked it its age, its name, how it died, etc etc etc. The age made sense, but we couldn't pronounce its name and it never finished spelling out how it died, because the bell rang. The last question we asked it was "Can we leave now", and the needle shot straight to "no". It was moving so fast that it kind of creeped me out. We left anyway, and after leaving that classroom, I remembered that day was a Friday the 13th.

Our grotto’s annual camping and caving weekend, (W.I.G.-Out) was on the weekend of May 31- Jun. 1st. We had planned on holding it this year at Stagestop Campground, in the Wyandotte Woods area of the Harrison-Crawford State Forest. This is near Corydon, IN., about as far south in Indiana as you can go without crossing the Ohio River, and is about 25 miles from Louisville, KY. Notice that I said “had planned”.
Well, something came up. We got there Fri., and set up camp that evening. The next morning, we had finally decided that our first cave we’d do was Devils’ Graveyard Cave, a short, but very pretty cave some 20 miles or so from base camp. We got there around 10 a.m. Sat., talked to the landowner and got the key to the gate, and walked down to the cave. My day was about to end in pretty short order. There were six of us, all told, and we began to get in the cave. The entrance to Devils’ Graveyard Cave is a vertical offset short pit, just a small climb down that leads to a small room under the gated entrance.
What had happened was I was the next to last to enter the cave, and was midway getting in when the gate had then suddenly and unexpectedly come down on my left hand, which was on the frame to the gate. What this did was sever my little finger, and rupture the arteries in the two middle fingers and lacerate the forefinger. It probably would have gotten my head, too, if not for the fact that I had a helmet on, which also minimized to some unknown extent, no doubt, the amount of damage the other three fingers received, not to mention my head. Well, I knew I had hurt my hand, but not how much. I had pushed the gate back up off of my head and started to climb out again, when Shavon Peacock (the only other one of us still out) started in with an “Oh, my goodness!”. Then I looked. What I saw was my little finger, on backwards, against my palm, and hanging on by a shred of skin. I could see the bone, rather neatly, cut in half. Cool. The reason I wasn’t initially alarmed when the gate had come down, was that it didn’t hurt as bad as you would have thought. It was sort of a non-focused sort of burning sensation covering the left side of my left hand. Well, I then immediately clamped my right hand onto my wrist to stanch the blood flow and started up with a mantra of “I gotta get to the hospital, I gotta get to the hospital.”, and started down the hill back to the cars we had left parked up the road some 500 feet or so back at the landowners’ house. Shavon cranked up her own personal panic level by progressing to an “Oh, my God!”, and that was the last I had seen or heard of her for awhile. Bryan Eismeier, another one of us that had already entered the cave popped out, and caught up with me by the time I had gotten back down to the road. The guy is like 20 or so, and a former Eagle Scout, who started to give me the twenty questions routine, which, having been through a first aid course myself, I had recognized as an attempt to keep me alert. Which for some reason amused the hell out of me at the time. Hey, you gotta get your amusement where you can find it, particularly in a situation such as this. By the time we had gotten back to the cars, Brian Dougherty had caught me up and volunteered to drive me to the hospital. Brian was the squeamish sort, so as he drove, he looked everywhere but at my hand, which I had by now had all wrapped up in a little white towel that I had in my caving pack. Brian tried following the directions the landowner had given us to get back, and somehow steered us in the opposite direction of the nearest hospital in Corydon, down toward the river bottoms. So I left my reveries, got us back on the right track, and took personal charge of navigating our way in to Corydon, thinking that the odds were good if I left him to his own devices, we’d wind up somewhere really bizarre and miles away from the nearest hospital, and with me dead from blood loss. I generally have a pretty good sense of direction, and it was an area I was at least partially familiar with. Where we were headed was an entire area with nothing but westbound dead ends, all terminating at Indian Creek. Nope. That wouldn’t do, not at all. So anyway.
We finally arrived at Corydon, and the Harrison County Hospital. We (Brian and I) checked into Emergency and I got a shot of tetanus, and morphine, which I heartily recommend, by the way, if you ever have the misfortune to have your finger amputated. Really good stuff. And I started expressing a desire to notify the wife, which Brian took charge of.
Brian, in his first call, told the wife that I had a bad cut, and needed stitches. This didn’t alarm her too overmuch. Then, in his second call, he then had told her that I had a Really Bad Cut. This might have been due to the fact that he didn’t want to look at me much while en route, perhaps. God knows. But then finally Shavon and Andrew arrived at the hospital, and one of them had loaned me their cel phone to use so I then called the wife and had told her in exquisitely gory detail, the nature of my injuries. Now, having the right information, she became alarmed and began to rip ass her way across Southern Indiana en route to the hospital I now knew was my ultimate destination, Jewish Hospital, in Louisville. I kinda chilled out there in Corydon awhile, waiting on the ambulance to take me there, which for some reason, took an an hour and a half, then at 1:30, having finally found the right sort of EMT’s to take me there, we left. My first ambulance ride. Wheeee.
At Jewish Hospital, I met a multitude of persons who all asked the same damn questions over and over. How did it happen, what was the nature of the injuries, what kind of drugs did you have in your system, how long since your last meal, blah blah blah, ad nauseum. Mostly I just laid down on the cot and looked up at the ceiling, and my little rectangular view out the door of my little cubicle. Then I had a brief jaunt down to radiology, where they took a couple of pictures of The Hand, which was kinda cool too, because the X-Rays of it showed the little finger with a kind of halo midway up the little finger and with no finger past that point. But being a bit of a smart ass, I had to ask the technician, that if X-Rays were so darn safe, then why did she have to run and hide behind a metal shield every time she took a picture? Which she answered, after laughing, very professionally. Her supervisor would have been proud. I’ll tell you what she said later, if you are really interested, but being an old hand at hospital trips like you are, you probably already know the answer to that one. Well, I had to wait for the surgery until six hours had passed from my last meal, which was at 3:30 thereabouts, so that I couldn’t barf all over the surgeon while working on me, I guess. By this time, my two middle fingers were turning gray and cold and I began to worry more about them than I did about the little half finger. They gave me some Demerol, there in the operating room, and some 30 secs. or so later, I was out. I only know this because the next thing that I remember after I woke up, was them casting my entire left arm. By this time, (6:00 p.m.) the wife had arrived and we all went up to my room, where I spent the next two days, being poked and prodded, and being asked a new battery of stupid questions over and over again and having to pee into a portable plastic urinal endlessly, for the first day. The wife was awfully nice about helping me with this little task, though. God love her. I still wasn’t allowed any liquids or food the first 24 hours, so the endless urinal breaks were a complete mystery to me, until it was explained that I was getting all the ammunition for the multiple urinal breaks from my IV bags. Personally, I don’t think I needed that much glucose as much, but rather it was their own little way of motivating you to get up and get mobile again so they could get their bed back ASAP.
So, in a nutshell, what my injuries were, in total was (and all to my left hand), and what they did to the aforementioned parts;
1) Forefinger (stitches, 10 or so.)
2) Bird finger and next in line (reconstructive vascular surgery on both), and,
3) Little finger (reattached, with pins in it to hold it together).
I am supposed to go back to Jewish Hospital tomorrow, (Jun. 26th), for my next appointment, my second, this will be four weeks since the accident, and I am hopeful the pins will come out then. At my first appointment, they took the cast off, and I had my first good look at it since they wrapped my hand up in one big gauzy ball at Harrison County Hospital. I took pictures of it for the eldest female offspring with my new digital camera to at least partially to make up for all the cool pictures I would have taken at WIG-Out, had I not been removed from the equation so quickly. That and the eldest female offspring is kind of a ghoul, and actually wanted to see the wounded fingers in all their gory glory. Ewwww.Hey Myo! I was wondering when you were gonna show up! :)

speaking of Hawaii.

I know alot of you have heard of the people here believing in ghosts and spirits. well I got a couple of stories that made me a believer.

1) My cousin owned a resturant in one of our smaller shopping centers. Next door, there is a community theater that sits in a cemetary. one year, the theater was undergoing renovations. and during this time, very weird things were happening in his restruant. Customers appearing and dissapearing without a trace (and without ordering so they wern't stealing anything) he's seen people sitting in booths way after closing. and so did several others. the people just smiled and seem to enjoy the quiet resturant. (which would be a change from all the construction noise at the theatre.) the visitations stopped the day construction did.

2) this happened to me. there is a Boy Scout camp up in the mountains. one night several of us (4) were camping there over the weekend, and for shits and giggles, we pulled out a tape recorder, opened a brand new tape (unwrapped it) and popped it in. we just talked about anything and everything. no real conversation.

the next day, we played that tape... and we all sat there listening... and all wondering the same thing. who was the 5th voice on that tape? no matter how many times we replayed that tape, no matter how high we cranked that volume, we could not identify that fifth voice that was chanting in Hawaiian.

we just took the tape out of the recorder... and buried it up in the hills.I have a few phantom-based anecdotes. Quite a few.
*nods solemnly*

BTW, i was talking w/Sarkhaan about this particular topic at one point ...

Ever played around with a Ouiji board? Those things are creepy. We actually played around with one in my psychology class a couple of years ago.

My friend brought in her ouiji board, which, according to her, was actually mor ethan 100 years old. The whole class (it wasn't a very big class) gathered around the board and two people put their hands on the needle and we started asking it questions. Of course, the needle starts moving. I've played with Ouiji boards before, even by myself. Apparently you need two people with their hands on the needle at the same time for it to move, but I was playing around with it one day, and the needle moved by itself with only my hands on it. I swear I was not pushing it at all. I actually took my hands completely off for a second and it moved by itself.

Anyway, we asked it its age, its name, how it died, etc etc etc. The age made sense, but we couldn't pronounce its name and it never finished spelling out how it died, because the bell rang. The last question we asked it was "Can we leave now", and the needle shot straight to "no". It was moving so fast that it kind of creeped me out. We left anyway, and after leaving that classroom, I remembered that day was a Friday the 13th.
One time, and not much happened to ME, but to the person i was doing it with. Another phantom story - although, that situation was pretty low-cal compared to many others i've had.

speaking of wading... i had to fix a computer during someones operation.

imagine listening to the murmuring of the Doctors and nurses, then hearing large amounts of liquid splashing on the ground... then a wet plop or two.

all this time, no outburst, nothing to indicate that anything was out of the ordinary... Not like the time the patient woke up in the middle of his procedure...

after that I swore never to work on a pc during a procedure.
Now I'm cringing. "Wet plop" is highly, highly connotative.
Which procedure would that have been, per your last line? Is this another cringer?

i have the STRONG suspicion that this thread'll be a statistic in that fashion.
*nods emphatically*

I was figuring that we would get a decent run of medical anecdotes, which we have a few pretty good ones, but the word-association aspect of it never kicked in, really. It would appear, though, that an anecdote per topic is more than enough to fill in the blanks.
I could indulge about my ulcer anecdote, but it's not really as amusing as most of my other ones, just about as painful, however.
It's alright - this thread is already likely to have a couple of sequels. Sarkhaan and i are going to confer on it.

just a quirk. :D

my first nation was called Ichi Ni (1 and 2 in japanese)
when that nation went bust, I combined the numbers and became Jyuni (12 in japanese.) and because I like weird and unusual spellings. JuNii
Ahahahahahahaha! Twelve really is always the answer. A couple years ago, some of my friends were in an academic competition and were asked a question to which they had no answer, so one simply guessed the number 12 and got it right. LOL Good times.

speaking of Hawaii.

I know alot of you have heard of the people here believing in ghosts and spirits. well I got a couple of stories that made me a believer.

1) My cousin owned a resturant in one of our smaller shopping centers. Next door, there is a community theater that sits in a cemetary. one year, the theater was undergoing renovations. and during this time, very weird things were happening in his restruant. Customers appearing and dissapearing without a trace (and without ordering so they wern't stealing anything) he's seen people sitting in booths way after closing. and so did several others. the people just smiled and seem to enjoy the quiet resturant. (which would be a change from all the construction noise at the theatre.) the visitations stopped the day construction did.

2) this happened to me. there is a Boy Scout camp up in the mountains. one night several of us (4) were camping there over the weekend, and for shits and giggles, we pulled out a tape recorder, opened a brand new tape (unwrapped it) and popped it in. we just talked about anything and everything. no real conversation.

the next day, we played that tape... and we all sat there listening... and all wondering the same thing. who was the 5th voice on that tape? no matter how many times we replayed that tape, no matter how high we cranked that volume, we could not identify that fifth voice that was chanting in Hawaiian.

we just took the tape out of the recorder... and buried it up in the hills.
Good stuff. Kinda. "No time to say 'hello,' good-bye. I'm late, I'm late, I'm late."

Ever played around with a Ouiji board? Those things are creepy. We actually played around with one in my psychology class a couple of years ago.

My friend brought in her ouiji board, which, according to her, was actually mor ethan 100 years old. The whole class (it wasn't a very big class) gathered around the board and two people put their hands on the needle and we started asking it questions. Of course, the needle starts moving. I've played with Ouiji boards before, even by myself. Apparently you need two people with their hands on the needle at the same time for it to move, but I was playing around with it one day, and the needle moved by itself with only my hands on it. I swear I was not pushing it at all. I actually took my hands completely off for a second and it moved by itself.

Anyway, we asked it its age, its name, how it died, etc etc etc. The age made sense, but we couldn't pronounce its name and it never finished spelling out how it died, because the bell rang. The last question we asked it was "Can we leave now", and the needle shot straight to "no". It was moving so fast that it kind of creeped me out. We left anyway, and after leaving that classroom, I remembered that day was a Friday the 13th.
Those don't come around often enough. Especially in January. I've heard stories(prolly just one) from my mom about Ouiji boards, but I can't remember them. Sounds fun to play around with, but I think that's another thing you should bury in the hills under the right circumstances.:p After you're done with it, of course.

I was serious; you're being facetious. Yes, I call them "sympathy fluffles" because that's what they are: fluffles for sympathy. I could change it to empathy fluffles if you like. I'd never be a pet and refuse to believe anyone could turn me into one. But it is good to see you're back to teasing.;) :fluffle:
