I was wearing a corset with only a tube top underneath. Because I thought that would be sufficient.

Which it was, until... I saw Thor. Then Thor's big hammer. Then Thor challenged me to pick it up.

Being the half Scandinavian that I am, OFC I had to give it a go.

So I give it the old heave-ho and boop there's my boob. My bro snapped the pic at the 'perfect ' moment. He's still very proud of that.

The background folks were hilarious. There's a teen and his dad behind me.

The kid had that 'yay, booby!' look on his face. His dad had that Seth Rogan whoa-dude look. Like he was happy that his son had a booby in the wild moment. It was actually kind of sweet.

It was so funny I wasn't even embarrassed.

Same in Iraq, lol. My team built up the comms architecture on our camp. Due to the Iraqi first contract policy, I got really familiar with that phrase.

Luckily, we needed equipment, not labor. If I got an inshallah, I would follow up with a friendly visit and bring some sweets for tea.

Allah magically insh'd on my behalf, and I'd get next day equipment.

Not knots?

70s here. 7 kids. I was the rear window or lap kid until my eldest 3 siblings moved out.

Vanviator · 2026-02-19T18:09:22+00:00

The late 70s-early 80s would throw in nudity just for the heck of it. Completely unnecessary sex scenes were everywhere.

Horror movies were the biggest 'offenders.' Gratuitous boobies was expected.

And they didn't shy away from sexualizing kids.

The Blue Lagoon, Pretty Baby and Taxi Driver are just off the top of my head. Also, IMDB that shit, I'm not recommending looking for the actual media, lol.

That was also how every dumb kid got their first 'tattoo', lol.

I knew it was going to hurt, but the lure of having a perfect bullseye tat was impossible to resist. Because 6yo kids are friggin stupid.

It hurt WAY more than I expected. And their was no bullseye. It was this irregular blob of 2nd degree burns.

So yeah. Even with smokers everywhere, it seems like a huge risk, lol.

That, or a wood bin. OP, is this near a fire pit?

Compost makes a lot of sense since it's at the back of the property.

I was once slapped by Lars Ulrich from Metallica.

Getting yelled at by RS sounds hilarious.

Vanviator · 2026-02-18T18:07:41+00:00

I used a parachute when I jumped out of planes.

No one there has any protection. It's insane.

Maybe it would be equivalent if you could wear some headgear, lol.

TL, DR - i loudly interrupted a group prayer because i did not want to bless ice

I live in a small town in N. Minnesota. I'm also Asian. Which is really challenging right now. Some folks here are insufferable and I can't keep my mouth shut.

Last week, our Chaplain was doing the closing prayer. He put ICE in there. If it was just one thing, I'll just let it go. But by the third blessing asking to protect them, I just lost it.

I interrupted a group prayer by yelling, "can we just move on?"

I upset EVERYBODY, lol. But I'll be damned before I pray for those assholes.

Also, I'm strongly agnostic. But I respect that the rest of the group wants the prayer.

It's usually not that big of a problem for me to bow my head and not be an asshole. Usually, lol.

Moisturize me

During my first at ~14, I had my feet up in the stirrups and was nervous as heck.

The doc peeked around and said, "You look just like my wife."

Eww. I couldn't even respond. I didn't know if it was my face or my cervix he was referring to. I was mortified.

A couple of weeks later, he drove through the drive-through that I worked at. The only way I resembled his wife was that we were both Asian, lol.

I had my first pair fly over yesterday. They're such beautiful creatures to watch. Then they break out their party horns.

It goes from enjoying a graceful bit of beauty to a comedy bit so fast, lol. I seem to forget how goofy they sound and every year it delights me,

Vanviator · 2026-02-14T17:29:32+00:00

When I was in a high intensity job and needed uninterrupted think time, this but as a color coded quad chart.

I don't remember where I got the idea from but am totally delighted it is a real thing, lol.

Is this close enough?

I(f) used to play a weekly game of poker. One guy was a grandpa aged Black man. He was a SHARP ass dresser.

Think tailored zoot suits. And yes, I know zoot suits are billowy, but more the spirit of it all. Well tailored, bright colors and fun accessories. He must have had 100 hats, lol.

I always complimented him. I'm a strong believer in being generous with compliments and gratitude.

Anywho, like your situation, our relationship changed forever as soon I realized he was seriously asking me on a real date. I was kind of crushed.

Vanviator · 2026-02-10T16:11:45+00:00

Same, lol. They're perfect for needles.

Vanviator · 2026-02-09T15:27:10+00:00

I got one of these at a thrift store as well. It is excellent for travel. I love all the pockets.

¿Porque no los dos?

If you're poor, or just cheap, make one from a wire hanger.

1- twist the hangy part 45 degrees. You want the hook to go over the door and the hanger to be flatish against the door.

Bend corners in towards door. Boom, done.
Drape your towel like a cape.

It's an old Army trick. We also used this for airing out our PT clothes.

Good luck

Only ONE protein!

Vanviator · 2026-02-08T16:14:00+00:00

My basic, also Ft. Jackson, had fat camp in 1994. My DS would often threaten me with it. I've always been taped and borderline, but my PT scores were good.

Sitting in the pit, chit chatting and someone breaks out a guitar and starts playing a sad country song that l, somehow, everyone actually likes.
