WTF? to what GDL saw.

My jaw dropped for 5 seconds. people around, security guards in the lobby... was the impulse that strong?

Once was at a bar and a woman in her 30's walked in. She was missing an arm which was a little odd. The really odd part was she had a fresh bandage on her stub. The bandage also had a little body goo seeping through. She sat down and had a drink with some dude. WTF!!!!

Probs combo of desire, opportunity and adrenaline rush.

Did he also have a mirror taped to the top of his shoe?

back in high school I saw a kid climb the railing of the deck we were on and jumped down to the football field which is about 8 feet down. his foot hit the railing or something when he jumped so he went down head first and I saw the kid lying on the field, his arm's stretched out and on the inside of his left elbow a big part of his bone tore through the skin and is sticking out.

think about 10 years ago, I entered a mall and almost got hit by this kid who was running wildly... after a few minutes I heard a loud crash. the same kid ran through a glass door. I tried to do first-aid, and when I knelt down I saw glass scooped out most of one of the kid's knee and I could see the cartilage and bone and some muscles hanging out.

This reminds me of the time I fractured my right femur and the bone was sticking out through the muscle. It stung like you would not believe.

an experiment:

hmmm, not sure that worked (was supposed to accompany the sundress picture snapping story)
In the last week I have heard of no less than 3 women spotted topless in public (Union Sq area). I suppose it could be the same woman, as the sightings came from 3 different people, but they were on different days, the most recent being this morning.

Old new, probably this woman:

^ What is going on below her navel?

 

[plei89]

Probably from a closed naval piercing. Either that or he's a man with a happy trail, trying to show off his new boob job

I was in a banquet, and in one of those waiter stations tucked in a corner I saw a server grab a pitcher of cold water they serve the guests and drank straight from it.

had a late dinner in chinatown once, and when the server put down the plate of chicken in front of us, I saw what I thought was black specks of dust under the chicken, then they started moving and running away. motherfucker served us chicken with baby cockroaches... to top it off, I complained to the server and he just grabs another plate from the next table, puts the chicken on it and puts it down on our table again.

Where was this?

I had a similar experience at a Thai Restaurant. After finishing our appetizers, my date began to eat her entree and saw a cockroach in her food. We complained to the waiter, and she acted like it's no big deal. Not once did they apologize — they just took back the plate and attempted to remake another one. We said that we didn't want a replacement and told them we will not be eating here. They had the audacity to say "it's okay, no need to pay." I thought "No ****!"

 

[acidboy]

^ in manila. and iirc, they asked us to pay for it.

 

[gomestar]

I didn't witness it, but thankfully somebody else did and wanted to share

Turned on the DVR lasst night to finally get a look at the Spain v. France. Stadium is buzzing, antional anthems, etc. Eruo quarter final, whislte blows, the crowd roars as the game begins. Then the camera focuses in and I see half a dozen 20-something men, probably in the fourth row, all looking @ their f#cking phones!

acids story reminded me of the time when i was about 12, and was playing baseball one summer with a bunch of friends. the ball ended up on the roof of the building we were playing near. so this one kid climbs up to get the ball. no problems.

but on his way down, he caught his foot in a crevice, and he tumbled over head first. the weight of his body falling dislodged his foot and he feel head first on concrete. we thought he was dead. thankfully he was alive. minor concussion i think, but was ok.
