Classic moments

[gimli-son-of-gloin13]

have you ever had a classic moment where you laugh at it whenever you can?

[Duddun]

Yes, I have had quite a few!:D But um...well...errr...they are rather embarrasing, and make me feel stupid!:( I will tell one though.

The Time I Broke My Arm!
By Duddun!
I was two years old, I had seen older kids run down slides and I thought it was really cool. So me and my friend, crawled up the stairs to the slide(we did not know how to walk yet(Slow learners))We got to the top and I went first, because he always got to go first so I went this time. He always got to go first because he told me how dangerous it might be, so he had to try it first! Then I ran about two steps down, fell off the side and landed arm first on the monkey bar supports on the ground(which were metal) and that is the story of how I broke my arm. I had a dinosaur cast too!!!!:D

[Khamûl]

I also have a bunch. There was the time that Wes stopped up the toilet, the time Steven tossed his cookies over the balcony, the time that we mopped the floor up with some of our other friends in laser tag... There are so many.:D

[Duddun]

Oooh!Ooooh! I just thought of one, that i remembered because you said Wes stopped up the toilet. It's another pre-school one.(Oh-no not another!:rolleyes: )Ok so here it is, im not gonna do all fancy this time.
So Max, Carsten and I, were all best friends. And to leave the room we had to go in pairs, but that always left one out so we always went in Thrairs.(As we called it)So one time Carsten had to go to the bathroom, so we all went. Then we were waiting and then we heard this big boom.(it gets nasty from here, if you haven't eaten and are about to don't read this.:D ) So then he came out running and yelling "run, theres a flood!"And then we saw water on the floor. So we all started running. Then when we were back in the room, he said: I thought I had to go poop really bad, but instead I just had a really really big fart! And he always says he broke the toilet we don't agree.
This was me telling it to my best memory so it may not be very true to the fact exactly. I believe we have edited it to be more funny a few times not knowing it.:rolleyes: We got in trouble afterwards because we looked really suspicious and they heard us screaming. Later they found the flood in the bathroom, and knew we did it. So we had to mop it up.:( The good old pre-school days.Ahh...I love remembering them...:) *thinks of all the stories of pre-school. Like the time I was scared to go down the fire pole!*Ahh the good old days!Only 8 years really!:D

[Blackboar]

Lol!
I can't really say anything here. I have so many embarrasing incidents its not true!!!
I'm ALWAYS walking into lampposts or doing something embarrasing!

[gimli-son-of-gloin13]

Well one time i was in the store with my friend, we were trying to find some chips to buy. She was saying, "*says really fun and gets toung tied*We can get millions and millions of them, yes millions and millions * stops in the middle of what she was saying and...* mmm, ben&jerry's icecream!" we still laugh about it today!

[Elf.Freak]

I went to Switzerland with my family and it was our second-last day. while we were waiting for a train to come, my sister took my hairband out of my hair and said "do you want your hairband to go feed the goats?" We both burst out laughing, then she gave me my hairband back. We sat down, taking deep breaths, when I decided to try and freak my sis out (get my own back on her, heh heh:p). I poked her on the sholder, and when she turned to face me, i did that thing Frodo does in the FOTR when he opens his eyes really wide (like the bit where he first sees Arwen, remember?) and my sister said (instead of freaking out) "I can see your eyeball!" Again, we burst out laughing.

Yes...very random...(my sister, not the story above;))

[Blackboar]

LOL!

How old is your sister?

[ArwenEvenstar]

onoe of my most embaressing moments this is kinda sad but for me it's embarressing. I burst out crying at this dance and then for the last like 15 minutes I was lauhing hystericly(sp???) my friends thought I was doped up;)

[frodosgirlfriend]

Once my frind and my friends dad and i where all walking to my house across my friends yard. i forget what we where talking about, but i put my hands on my hips and said "cause i'm a princess" all snobby like. then, less then 2 seconds after i said that i fell into the mud and got abunch of grass in my mouth.

a few weeks later i was talking to my friend and said "but i'm perfec-- ouch!" i fell into the refigerator. :D

[gimli-son-of-gloin13]

that's pretty funny!:D I bet you felt really stupid! how long ago was that?

[Nibs]

At an "end of school" party, there was a massive group of people in a single massive backyard, and I was doing backflips on the trampoline. I had done about six in a row (that's without a jump in-between) when I found myself drifting backwards too far so I tried to compensate by jumping more forward on the next flip.

Too far. I landed on my chest on the metal bar at the edge of the trampoline, held on to the bar, and proceeded to flip over off the trampoline (still holding to the bar) with one foot landing on solid dirt and the other in a bush. I stood up and declared "that smarts!" and it did.

Soon thereafter, I was caressing my pained pecs and I heard a *pop* come from one of my ribs where it connects to the sternum.

But that hasn't kept me from backflipping since.

[Wayfarer]

I once had a roof fall on me...

But i'm sure nobody wants to hear about that... ]: )

[Wayfarer]

Well, if you really want to know... ;)

Last summer a good friend of mine was adding onto his house, so I went over to help him out a bit. We put up framework, and so forth. Then we started putting up rafters.

Now, before I go any further, I have to fill you in on a few things. First of all, we were building this addition between the house and the garage. They weren't paralell. Secondly, the guy who measured for us when we laid out the walls didn't exactly do a perfect job. So none of the corners were square and the walls were differrent lengths. Yeah.

Anyway, this was the state of things whe we started putting up the rafters. It wasn't pretty, but we got them into place-for the most part. After a few days of work we had half of them set in place and the rest up there strapped together at one side. We'd developed a system-unstrap the rafters, haul the one on the end away, and strap them back together really quickly. Being the amazingly nimble fellow that I am, I was delegated to climb around on the rafters and take care of that stuff. That was all well and good, until nails started coming apart.

At the absolute worst time-as we had all the unsecured rafters held in place by hand, the the rafters that we had secured started coming loose. And me standing between them.

After a rather hectic two and a half seconds, I found myself pinned securely by me left thigh and wrist, hanging eight feet above the plywood floor from a pile of wood which wasn't engineered to take stress from this direction. Not an experience I'd recommend to anyone here, I assure you. ;)

Once they'd dragged a half dozen thirty foot rafters off of me, I managed to walk inside and sit down on the couch. By this time I was going into shock, and my wrist was swelling horribly. I got it wrapped up in an ace bandage and sat around for the rest of the day while everyone else cleaned up the mess. Then I went home and fell asleep.

When I was awakened by various aching pains the next morning, I was (understandably) overjoyed to discover that my makeshift splint had come undone and my left hand was now twice the size it should have been. I went to the doctor immediately.

As it turned out, I had been sleeping on a simple fracture. The doctors were very understanding as they explained this to me, and wapped my wrist as tightly as possible before putting a cast on it. unfortunately, since it was twice it's normal size at the time, that wasn't nearly tight enough when the swelling went down. I could slip my cast of with ease by the beginning of the week. The doctors, as I have said, being so gracious, took this news rather well. I am almost positive that the near-hysterical conversation which took place outside my examination room was about something else entirely. They even let me keep it, provided that I promised no to take it off anymore. Well... not much.

As it so happens, I still have the cast, and it still fits my arm rather well, although it's a bit more snug than it was.

[gimli-son-of-gloin13]

well that was interesting. ive never done somthing that embaressing.

[Wayfarer]

That's actually not bad, compared to some other things I've done.
Let me tell you about water intoxication. ]: )

[Coney]

Wayfarer, Nibs........have you two ever thought of wearing body-armour?......or better yet, hiring stunt doubles?;)

I've had my share of classic moments I suppose:( ......... most of them while intoxicated and 90% of them deffinitely not PG - 13:o

[Renille]

So, SO many of these...like the smoking chocolate incident!

I was sitting in study hall last year eating Twix bars with my friends and being crazily bored. One of my friends pretended her Twix was a cigar...we laughed...and started talking about smoking, chocolate, and how Twixes resemble cigars. THEN another friend asked, "Seriously, though. Has anyone ever tried it?" (Meaning smoking, of course.)Everyone eagerly awaited each others' answers...until I had the stupidity to ask, "Tried...chocolate?" We all started laughing...it was so stupid.

These same friends have also been trying to train me out of apologizing ever since I bumped into an book case and told it I was sorry. :p It's crazy.

[BeardofPants]

Since I'm a walking disaster, my stories are far too numerous. The most recent one involved running into a wall. :rolleyes:

[Coney]

Heh. Renille has reminded me of one my PG-13 attempts to enter the Darwin Awards (http://www.darwinawards.com/) Hall of fame.

One night at a club while a little tipsy (nished as a pewt actually) I walked into a stone pillar and apologised to it:o . Unfortunately a bouncer saw me, decided I'd had far too much to drink so he escorted me to the door.......all well and good, bouncer was only doing his job.

At the door the bouncer decided to eject me from the building with a little force than necessary, resulting in me cartwheeling accross the street. I got back to my feet, a little perturbed you might say, and under the influence decided to have a go at the bouncer........didn't work:( ..........my mates found me outside the club, the bejesus kicked out of me......I had to spend 2 nights in hospital after that one:( ...........I still can't even remember the first punch/kick landing.

The moral of the story...........drink makes you brave:D ........drink gives you all the fighting ability of a jellyfish straded on the beach:( ...........luckily drink also erases the memory;)

[gimli-son-of-gloin13]

gees bad night huh?

[Millane]

ohhh drinking stories eh??? well my friend zoidburg (his name when he gets drunk it is off futurama and he starts going wopwopwopwop) he takes a bottle of scotch and starts re enacting scenes from conan and starts patting the wall because it helps him stay on his feet, he has also broken his arm while Zoidburg was in control...
me embarrass myself, hahahaha i dont embarrass myself but i hurt myself doing stupid stuff that others wwould call embarrassment

[gimli-son-of-gloin13]

For example.....

[frodosgirlfriend]

once i got stuck in my best friends bed room. she had a pad lock thingy out side her door and when i ran in her room slaming the door behind me somehow somthing go stuck in the wood of the door. her dad had to get the screw driver to get me out. the entire time i was in there my feet where agianst the door and my hands where on the nob, ofcorse i had to body slam it a few times only making it more jamed. when i got out her dad didn't look to pleased :o .

[katya]

I went up to thsi city where I shop one day with a bunch of friends, and we stopped at a family video. I really was curious about the animated lord of the rings so I rented that. I kind of figured my friends were right behind me but they werent. So i had left the store, but couldnt get their attention through the windows. i was getting really bored (and cold) waiting for them so I went back in the store (that was my first mistake). i found them, but felt uncomfortable carrying the movie around. So I was going to go put it in the car. Well, so i went out the out door, not realizing there was a security alarm!! yeah! and not only did i walk through it, but I ran through it! it was soooo embarrasing. my friends still tease me about it.

[gimli-son-of-gloin13]

well one time my stupid friend got STUCK BETWEEN THE BED AND DRESSER! i was about to fall asleep and then i heard a *in really whiny annoying voice* Sierra!! and i said what did you do no and then i saw this stupid tard (as we call ourselves) lying there stuck.

14 (sometimes she acts 5 though...;))

[wahine]

I, too, have had numerous occasions where I have embarrassed myself, and now think it funny.

For instance, I had faucet nose and I was talkin' to this friend of mine I really liked. (Faucet nose is called FAUCET nose for a reason, it's where after a thrashing skim session water is in your sinuses, it DOES have to come out) Anyway, so I was flirting he was flirting, he leans in, I lean in, he doesn't get a kiss because my nose fauceted. (is that a word?). I was 17 and horrified...J.f.y.i. we stayed friends.

[Iron McFist]

Not really embarrasing, but at the hotel me and my friends stay over at for birthdays, we've messed up the couch-bed thing at least three times.

[gimli-son-of-gloin13]

doing what..... or shouldn't I ask

[Adrian Baggins]

You want to talk embarising. Okay. here is one of the most embarising moments I have had so far, exception softball and my injury of my ancle in a warm up for a sb scrimage.
3rd grade:

I was scared of the monkey bars for some strange reason and I still am sortof. Well I got to the third bar and chickened out. I looked behind me and no one was there. When I turned around there was this boy from my class named Trey Trentam on which I had a crush on at that time. Well he tickles me under my arm to try to get me to move and I lose my grip. I am looking away with my eyes closed trying to grb the ladder rung support(otherwise known as one of the two verticle bars that hold the rungs up) so I could let go with my other hand and swing down. I missed and grabed the side of Trey's pants. The bad thing was that he was wearing elastic topped wind pants. The side I had ahold of came down far enough that you could see the top of his boxers. We both told our sides of the story and they matched up so we had to stay off the monkeybars for like 3 months, write appology notes and miss 1 recess.

[gimli-son-of-gloin13]

I WOULD HAVE DIED!

[wahine]

That's not terrible.

You ever here of Tandem Surfing? Where people ride 2 or sometimes 3 to a board? :D....;).....I'll let you think about all the ways THAT could go wrong for 15 year old teenagers mmkay?

[Andúril]

A Classic Moment
By Anduril.

At the end of the eighth grade, a friend of mine was showing me the contents of his locker - well, mainly the lunch that he had thrown in there about three months earlier and forgotten about.

I retrieved the sandwiches, got grossed out, and threw them over my shoulder.

As luck would have it one of my other friends was walking over to partake in the fun, and the moldy bread went straight into his mouth.

Fortunately for him, the bathroom was less than five meters away.

The End.

Hey now. That was the tame stuff. Okay, not.

[Legolas_is_fit]

I think this is a classic moment. I went camping with some of my mates and the both had a drink and suddenly my mate burps really really loud and we start laughing and shes gone bright red saying it was Her friend that she brought along burped as well.
Well we belived her but thats like impossible isnt to burp at the same time.
But I most admit I dont belive her.;)

[Lief Erikson]

For those of you that don't know, fencing is a form of swordfighting. This premise is a necessary peice of knowledge for the rest of what I am about to relate.

I am a level 3 fencer. There are 7 levels of fencing- level 7 is Olympic level. I am one of the best (If not the best- forgive the excessive arrogance) level 3 fencers in our class. This secondary premise is also helpful to what I am about to relate.

The level 3 and level 2 fencers were all lined up in the gymnasium where we were warming up for our lesson. We had gone through the lunge walks, the cross overs, most of the normal warm up drills. Then came the drill where we do A advances and B advances all the way over to the opposite end of the room. On the way back, we do A retreats and B retreats. B advances and retreats are simply a swifter form of A advances and A retreats. It's a cross over of the legs, describing it would have little point, as the move has little relevance to my narrative :D.

I was moving swiftly along, doing my A advances and B advances faster than anyone else- or so it seemed. We were assigned to do 3 laps. Either I went much slower than usual, or everyone else skipped the third lap. One of those two things must have happened- there's no other explanation. Somehow, I ended up being the only person doing his B retreats on the way back to our side of the room. Everyone else was done.

I am a more advanced fencer, so I chose to take a small liberty for myself this once. I started running backwards to my position, so that I would get there more quickly and not be out there alone.

I succeeded in getting there very fast indeed- and ended up tripping over my own feet. I fell flat on my back :D.

[BeardofPants]

Hahahaha. :D Even I never managed anything as graceless as that when I did fencing. (small wonder.)

[sexy hobbit chick]

well one time i tripped over a phone book in front of a bunch of people i didnt know (and the scary thing is is that we live in a small town where the phone book isnt even an inch thick)

[frodosgirlfriend]

I have awful social skills, I never know what people want to hear and i don't really get the whole "use full sentences, cuz ppl can't read minds" thing either. Once my mom was asking my friend something, and i decided i'd answer for my friend. with out thinking i said "sierra doesn't know anything" i had a very straight face and was serious. my friend looked at me and instantly we started laughing. a day or two later my mom was asking Sierra about school and stuff, and she asked "who are your friends at school" I, again, decided I’d answer for Sierra, and I said (again without thinking) "what friends, sierra doesn't have any friends" again I had a completely straight face. then sierra and I started laughing. Then a few days later sierra and i where writing songs and stuff and sierra says "i hate my voice" I reply in a caring manner "me too." i blushed and say quickly "no no no! i meant i hate my voice too!!!" and i did, i just forgot to say that the first time. Then a few days later, my mom and i where walking at night and it was snowing and it was very very very cold. so mom wraps her scarf around her face. Again i say with a straight face "you look like a Nuzgul" "o thanks" mom said sarcastically. then we started talking about how i've said things like "o no, i meant you look ugly in a good way!!!" and there’s of course the imaginary boyfriend my friend and i joke about, but you’d have to know me to under stand that ;)

[gimli-son-of-gloin13]

The great great memories of u fgf:rolleyes:

[Evenstar1400]

one of my classic moments:
i of course was young and naive, and really stupid. so my friend and i decided to jump off the swings on her rickity swingset with our eyes closed. i misjudged timing, and jumped backwards, and instead of landing of fresh green summer grass i landed on a cold hard stone wall. not much later i was in the hospital having my arm twisted around in XRAY screaming my head off and not much later than that getting stiches right below my eyebrow. yes i had fractured my arm and got 13 stiches. one of the finer moments in my life, laying in bed with an ice pack on my arm and a really big bandage with a black eye, not able to lift the remote control to the tv. yep i could definitely be considered graceful.

[Baby-K]

Heh. Renille has reminded me of one my PG-13 attempts to enter the Darwin Awards Hall of fame.

Hey! My fave Darwin is the 1 about the parachute instructor who forgot his chute............. think it was from about 2 yrs ago, not sure - haven't checked the latest :rolleyes:

I suppose one of my most embarrasing moments was when I told a guy my name is "sandwich"...........pretty daft, but it was due to a mix up in semantics.

Can't share too many stories thoug 'cos it will prolly get me banned :D

[Legolas_Frodo_Aragorn]

i have a couple..
like ZOLTAN in science class...ya know wut im talknig about carrie and caroline!

[Evenstar1400]

ZOLTAN!!!!
hey im reading the darwin awards right now!!!! my fav. so far is the one with the janitors who tried to kill a gopher using a cleaning solvent.... but when one of the guys lit his cigarette the room exploded from the fumes and the gopher escaped. there was also one about a guy who cut off his head with a chainsaw to impress his online girlfriend

alot of them are really funny.... read it sometime

[Legolas_Frodo_Aragorn]

im gonna have to borrow that from u caroline...

but another classic moment is seeing caroline so frusterated when she was trying to learn tig...

[gimli-son-of-gloin13]

one time i was at my friends house and we were in the office and i was really tired, she was doing something away from the desk where i was sitting and i was resting my head on my hand and fell asleep and the next thing i know, i fall on my head!!! my head must have slipped of my hand and hit the desk....... the rest of the night my friend called me "lord thonkinwitch":rolleyes:
and of course she had to tell every one she came in contact with:o :rolleyes:

[Hanza]

Well here are two

1. Me and my 2 friends were walking home and one of them suddenly walked into a lampost. Me and my other friend checked if she was alrite. While i was looking at her though i walked into the next lampost. It was hilarious but extremely embarassing.

2. I useed to do climbing festivals. There were 2 days. The first was workshops and the 2nd a competition. Before the competition there is a warm-up. Me and my mate gemma hated the warm-up. So once we locked oursevles in a toilet. But when the warm-up was over we went to open the cubicle door and it wouldnt open. It was stuck. So we had to crawl under the side intothe next cubicle and get out like that. It got even worse when we got out as several women gave us very funny looks as we walked out.

There has been many others but theyd take ages. mite tell them later.

[gimli-son-of-gloin13]

Well, ya know how on TV people can crush cans on their heads? Well it doesn't work very well in real life:rolleyes:

[durin's bane]

One time my friend and I were trying to make this hill of snow at school rugged by kicking it, and I was kicking snow in my friend's face without even realizing it! And she's like, "Not that way!" My other friend says that sight was priceless.

[gimli7410]

one time i walked into a side view mirror. not recomended

[gimli-son-of-gloin13]

Another time I walked into a tree. I still have a scar on my forehead:D :rolleyes:

[durin's bane]

Gasp! It's Harry Potter! ;)

Today, when I was skating, my skates were too big, but then I was on kind of a roll, going really fast, and I'm like, "Hey! I think I can handle these skates now!" Well...*slip! fall!*

[Gwaimir Windgem]

I remember one time Elladan...um, wait, maybe I shouldn't be telling embarassing stories about him. ;) :p

[frodosgirlfriend]

word of the wise, when there is a table infront of you, don't walk into it... it hurts.... :rolleyes:

[gimli-son-of-gloin13]

dont get so hooked in your own little world while your in miller singers ( a singing thing, we get t-shirts:D )that u end up tipping over because you were looking at your untied shoes waiting for them to tie themselves:rolleyes: ......... not like that has ever happened to me before:D

[frodosgirlfriend]

My friend answered the phone without turning on the light when i spent the weekend at her house and we had just had cucumbers dipped in ranch and there was a bowl of ranch dressing right next to the phone. Sierra was tying to hang up the phone and after about 10 minets of the "clunk clunk" of her trying to get the phone in the cradle, she finally realized she was hanging the phone up in ranch dressing. there was another ten minuets of clunking of her tiring to get the phone in the cradle and she probably called somebody with all the random buttons she was pushing trying to get the phone in. it was really funny and even funnier when another person called and when she picked up the phone she got lots of ranch dressing in her hair. :rolleyes:

[gimli-son-of-gloin13]

it wasnt that much ranch...and it wasnt ten minutes....therre is still ranch dressing on the phone and for a while my hair smelled like ranck dressing.....:rolleyes:

[frodosgirlfriend]

There was this one time Sierra was spending the night and I fell asleep she got the brilliant idea to wake me up at about two in the morning. I wasn't awake though, I was sleep talking. She made this thing "The sleeping habbits of Liz." And wrote everything I did. I wish I could find it. It's hiliarous!

[IronParrot]

Once I was late for school when a very slippery eel jumped out of my aquarium, and I had a lot of trouble trying to get a hold of it and putting it back in. It hopped around and left a trail of slime all over the place. The house smelled like fish for the rest of the day.
