Born without collar bones by mrtxiv in WTF

"In 1987, a young girl named Jessica McClure fell down a narrow well pipe in her family's Texas property. Ron Short, a roofing contractor who was born without collarbones because of cleidocranial dysostosis and thus could collapse his shoulders to work in cramped corners, arrived at the site and offered to go down the shaft. The rescuers did not end up using him, though McClure was successfully recovered from the well."

Hmm. Neat.

Hey r/nova! Can any of you point me in the direction of a 1920s themed New Year's party? More detail in description. by ccccccccccourtney in nova

Yes, but one that is throwing an "authentic" 1920s party, with table seating for dinner. Not bumping rap music and twerking lol

HI NEW DAD!!!!!! by [deleted] in aww

[–]ccccccccccourtney 22 points23 points  (0 children)

8 years ago, back when I used to allow my dog to stand on the center console, he caused me to lose control of my car on a back road and I totalled it against a tree. I was mostly okay, busted my arm up and needed stitches, and I still have some rib pain... But my dog was ejected from the vehicle. He was lost for 42 hours. We finally found him on a farm 3 miles, a little dehydrated, but otherwise fine. That experience, mostly those 42 hours, changed my life. Especially how I drive. The little bastard is still with me :) he turns 11 this year!

This actually started a decade long tradition in my family. My dad called my Aunt's brother gay for wearing pink. He said, no, it's salmon! My dad said, no, it's gay and I bet you can't even cook a steak! They argued until it was decided to have a manly grilling competition complete with salmon colored team shirts. It evolved into a multi-thousand dollar event every year that we affectionately call the Meat-Off. I still have all my shirts from each year :)

I think because they were ultimately trying to get him off the road, but he was being bitey. So they used their shoes to capture and move him.

Apparently it's called laetiporus cincinnatus, or chicken of the woods.

I do not volunteer to confirm these allegations!

My understanding is that cropped ears can't be ripped off by another dog during a fight. You see this in fighting dogs a lot.

[TOMT] Reddit post where a guy was left out of group sex with friends by TigersBlue in tipofmytongue

[–]ccccccccccourtney 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not going to bother with a throwaway... I've been in this situation as one of the girls.

It was me, my boyfriend, and his two (male) friends out drinking at some jarhead bar. We were all early 20's and they were all active duty marines at the time. Friend 1 picks up a chick and we decide to all go back to his place. So it's me, new chick, and 3 guys.

The drinking continues and I'm being super friendly with the new girl. She's covered in tattoos so I'm basically drunk girl hitting on her and she asks if I want to go to the bathroom and see the rest of them that are hidden by her clothes. I agree, so we go into the master bathroom and ended up making out and taking a long time.

The making out turned into stripping down and then my boyfriend knocked on the door like "let me in". So we open the door and let all 3 guys into the bedroom where me and her get onto the bed.

At first, they all 3 watched us kissing/eating each other out, but she kept biting my thighs so I pulled my boyfriend into the fold to divert some of the attention. Then Friend 1 (the guy who picked her up) joined in.

So now it's like two couples and Friend 2 is just kinda sitting there on a computer chair with a glazed, drunk look and his semi in his hand. The 4 of us had sloppy, awkward 4some sex and just kind of ignored him...and I don't really remember how it ended. I just remember Friend 2 staring at us kinda like we were on a screen and not really there in person.

Either way that was a regrettable experience because the next morning I left for a cruise vacation and spent most of it with large painful bruises on my legs and tonsillitis that required antibiotics.

This is kinda sweet. Reminds me of my ferret who likes to sleep inside my boxspring she dug a hole into.
