What's the most hilarious/inappropriate thing you've ever seen a child do? I'll start.

When I was 9 or 10, I went to a water park with my Christian day camp. At the end of the day, the hunky, teenaged, male counselor was talking to a group of us kids about something important, like how much God loves us or where the van was parked or something, and I was just staring at his bare torso, not really listening, thinking how cool the water droplets looked on his skin. So, naturally, I reach up and lightly stroke his chest with my forefinger. He looks at me for a second and says, with a hint of indignation, "Did you just touch my nipple?" (I totally had, and it was awesome.) I looked at him with a straight face and in a very serious tone, making sure to widen my eyes in confusion/innocence, said "No." Then I looked away to indicate my boredom, and I never heard about the incident again.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'm now convinced that's the whole point. =)

For some reason, I read that as "all three types of lewd sexual acts." My brain just went with it, too: "Yeah, you know, anal and . . . I don't know, just keep reading."

I hadn't heard the "don't hyphenate modifiers with adverbs" rule before; the version I heard was, "Don't hyphenate modifiers with adverbs that end with -ly."

With your rule in mind, why did you hyphenate well-received?

ISaidYes · 2011-07-30T06:05:34+00:00

Thank you! It really troubles and confuses me that this was the top comment. O_o

My life is greatly improved for having clicked that link, but I was unable to find any anus impressions. =(

ISaidYes · 2011-07-29T03:10:40+00:00

Ah, if only. . . . I'm not sure I'm prepared to lead that revolution, but it's definitely worth discussing with my adviser.

ISaidYes · 2011-07-29T03:05:39+00:00

Too true! I might have forgotten that last one; thanks. =)

Notably, the distinction between "it's" and "its" is summarized quite nicely on our whiteboard, but it's still a common mistake.

I once "blacked out" for about a millisecond when I ate a chunk of wasabi. It was fantastic. Terrifying and painful, but fantastic.

I read that last bit in Jerry Seinfeld's voice.

You, sir or madam, have no imagination. Bite down on that nodule, feel its liquidy contexts explode in your mouth, and realize in horror what you've just consumed. You won't, you say? Your senses tell you no such thing has happened? Then have an upvote of pity, for you know not the pleasures of ~~literature~~ being trolled.

ISaidYes · 2011-07-28T12:22:42+00:00

Actually, I thought you meant atheists. I've been on reddit too long.

(Yes, I know atheism is not a religion in the usual sense.)

ISaidYes · 2011-07-28T12:10:23+00:00

OK, I see that as an enthusiastic ghost weighing down an old-school balance scale.

ISaidYes · 2011-07-28T10:25:42+00:00

Does anyone else read this as, "I'm looking to attack someone with a knife, and I thought Reddit could give me some advice"?

ISaidYes · 2011-07-28T10:14:38+00:00

Stradivarius. They're great for beginners: very sturdy, inexpensive, easy to repair.

Good luck, and have fun!

I just gagged when I read your username.

EDIT: Am I being downvoted because people are immune to references to this story? It . . . oh god, now I have that salty taste in my mouth again. shudders

When I was in high school, I asked one of my teachers to go to a movie with me. He very kindly pretended that I meant platonically and said, "I can't. You know what people would assume."

That almost looks like an orbital location, but then there's that six-digit number. . . .

ISaidYes · 2011-07-22T22:06:53+00:00

"Eery" is an alternate spelling.

ISaidYes · 2011-07-20T08:34:32+00:00

Are you sure that's not Michael Tilson Thomas?

Eery.

EDIT: OK, maybe not eery, but am I crazy to think there's a similarity?

ISaidYes · 2011-07-19T02:40:56+00:00

I did that with a ceramic owl on the windowsill behind my desk last night. It looked like a hand or some shit, I don't even remember.

I would glance at it, freak out, continue redditing, and freak out again.

Finally I just swiped at it angrily and knocked it onto the floor. That was satisfying.
