Years ago when I was dumber and reckless, a few friends of mine and I decided it was a great idea to smoke ourselves into a stupor. This was weekly "tradition" with the group but this one instance happened to be special. I found some sort of alcoholic unnamed liquid in the freezer a while back and thought it would make a great bong water replacement. Fast forward an hour later, we are all stoned out of our minds stupid. A dare was issued for the guy sitting next to me to drink the alcoholic bong liquid. After some heckling he does and promptly spits it out all over himself while tipping the bong liquid all over himself. We're all laughing hysterically and I start to ponder if it would catch on fire. Between fits of laughter I reach over and flick my lighter on his pants. YES it DOES catch on fire! We are all dying of laughter as he tries to slap his cratch to snuff the fire. He runs outside and takes his pants off and lets them burn.

The next day I decided to stop smoking weed for fear of burning my friends.

Ahh the good ol days!

I ran out of gas yesterday during rush hour traffic. In anticipation of an oil change this weekend, I had been running a bottle of Techron, so I wanted to get the tank as low as possible. I noticed when the low fuel light flickered on, calculated the number of miles I had left in the tank, tried shortshifting my way through city traffic, etc.

I was an intersection away from the gas station, when (stupid red lights--I hit them all on the way there) the motor died. Coasted to a stop at the side of the road. I waited a few minutes, and tried restarting the car when the traffic light was green. Thank God for fuel accumulators. The motor roared to life, and I zipped across the intersection and into the gas station.

Noah, you are a lucky soul.

Today I had some plain yogurt that I added fresh blueberries and a crumbled granola bar to. I thought it was a bit tart so I sprinkled a little sugar on it (just a pinch) and it woke it right up.

A few hours later I am getting ready for my dinner and the yogurt is to be used for a Lebanese cucumber yogurt to go on a kibee burger. The yogurt went out of date a month ago.

I'm being serious when I ask how and why this thread was revived to tell us about food?

I'm a little worried

Isn't yogurt already "bad"? Isn't that the point of yogurt?

Wouldn't this be a five year old thread, it being July of 2012 and all?

Wow. So in 5 years only two people on PPOT have done anything stupid?

OK, so I'll add: Some time in the last few years I was working on the fuse panel in the front trunk of the 911. I put the hood down but hadn't latched it all the way down (though forgot about that) when I decided to take the car around the block for a test drive. As I turned onto the main road and puttered up to about 10 mph, air caught under the hood and lifted it right up. Suddenly I was driving looking through the crack between the cowl and bottom edge of the hood.

I'm glad this thread got resurrected! I never knew where the term "cratch slappin' "started, now I know!

Thanks, peppy!

I confess, in the past couple of years I was putting down a sub-floor with deck screws.
Up against the wall, it was a bit awkward and I was in a hurry, so when the screw deflected out of my grip, the Robertson tip went into my finger at the first joint.

Lots of blood and cursing.

When it healed, there was a new chunk of gristle inside the joint.

Darn!
