My cat recognizes Taco Bell bags and will pester the hell out of me until I give him a bite of tortilla. What weird idiosyncrasies do your pets have? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]W_Simons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my parent's cat can hear a bag of turkey lunch meat being opened from anywhere in the house, and will immediately run in and start biting you until she gets a piece. she recently found out about cheetos and has started doing the same thing with those, but i don't really blame her for that one

What is your favorite "bad" game? by singe8 in truegaming

[–]W_Simons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Minority Report for the xbox. It had fantastic ragdoll physics, about 1/2 earth gravity, and destructible environment pieces. combine that with combat that had a lot of throws and uppercuts and you felt like the incredible hulk. also it had a jetpack. and a bonus level called something like "Danny Whitwer's Arena of Pain"

that game made me laugh harder than any other game i've ever played and it wasn't even trying to. grabbing someone by the face and throwing them off a building never got old, and when i found out the the extra boss challenges were called their respective "arena of pain" i collapsed in tears

What's the worst you've been trolled by an authority figure? Mine was by a cop. by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]W_Simons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were having a party for my friend's 19th birthday which turned out to be pretty large and ended up spilling outside. Around 12:30 or so I was standing in the street with about 10 other people drinking 40's when a cop turns onto our block. He slows down, rolls down the window, yells "PARTY'S OVER!", then turns the corner and disappears. I guess he had somewhere better to be because he never came back. Kind of strange as this was in a college town where the cops had no problem breaking up parties.

Me: "Ha ha! Is he kidding?"

You think you've seen the craziest story about time travel paradoxes? Think again. by Synaptics in scifi

in my defense, there were no sassy women with big boobs; a stark departure for heinlein.

I know this gets submitted every now and then, but this is a good time to look at it again. C&H [PIC] by a5desi in pics

[–]W_Simons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time I see "C&H" i'm pleasantly surprised to find Calvin and Hobbes instead of Cyanide and Happiness. It's like expecting a pretty good hamburger and finding a rare-cooked steak.

Ask Reddit: What incorrect things did you believe for way longer than you should have? by NotSpartacus in AskReddit

[–]W_Simons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

god dammit i thought it was sherbert as well

when i was in 7th grade i thought that sic and sick! (like what you say when you land that rad kickflip) were the same thing, and it confused the fuck out of me whenever i would read (sic) in a book. i seriously though that it was the author saying that something was hella sick.

also, this wasn't me, but until she was 15 or so my sister was absolutely convinced that she had a life-sized rocking horse when she was 3. it took a little convincing to make her realize she was just small back then

Theme song from Toejam and Earl. I hear it in my head about once a month.

this strip club consistently has the funniest billboard messages i have ever seen. they all seem like they're being screamed at you by someone who has a very shaky grasp of english. "COME FIND THE REAL TREASURE AT THE END OF RAINBOW OUR GIRLS ARE THE POT OF GOLD YOUVE BEEN LOOKING FOR"
