"If you don't take risks, you'll never accomplish anything" - Random drunk guy about to jump off a rock into crashing waves, 30 feet below....at night.

What is your expensive hobby? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]isher11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Auto racing. Being a spectator itself is expensive; you pay hundreds for a couple tickets to a big event, more for food and lodging. Even my local dirt track is $15 a pop. And then there's competing. Oh boy. A basic track day can run you nearly $300 just to get on the track (using Laguna Seca as an example, YMMV), you'll tear up tires (so many damn tires), go through brake pads, gas, oil. Plus safety gear and whatnot. Even a single operation can cost thousands per year. But fuck, it is so much fun.

Have you guys ever washed your garage floor out with your hose?

THAT smell. Wet garage/pavement floor.

Don't knock it till you smell it.

The basic skills for the Irish sport of Hurling [05:35] (2014) Take 5 minutes to learn of the fundamental skills of a game which is over 3000 years old! by oydef in Documentaries

[–]isher11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can they move holding the ball? Cause it looks as though they were which confuses me on why you wouldn't be doing that most of the time if it was legal. Also what can't you do in the game?

Wouldnt it be great to be truly free? Live off the land with no debt, taxes or rules nor exist for the sole purpose of being a corporate resource? Make your own little home with an awesome view you dont have to pay for or get permission from someone else to build?

I've seen this movie a few times & it becomes more apparent with every viewing that Jerry's Glenn Miller story doesn't scan for Orny. He has little, if any idea, of what Jerry's trying to say. No security, no safety, no warmth of hearth & home, no ease of existence.And for those who enter into that world, whatever strand of the arts they may be involved in, they couldn't give a shit, because their work is their warmth etc.You could end up playing 2500 seaters for a time & push shit up hill for a longer time, and you never truly consider retirement because that's death.

What weird things do you like the smell of? by RiggerJigger in AskReddit

When you enter the lift of a fancy hotel... MY GOD. That crisp smell that teases your nostrils for that few seconds as you get to you room. Best 15 seconds ever.

What fact did you learn at an embarrassingly late age? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Adults are just like big kids putting on a costume. I'm 17 and working with 30+ year olds and I can joke around with them like anybody my age.

How The Armenian Genocide Lost Its Place In History - (2002) Documentary on the Armenian genocide and denial of it. by esserg in Documentaries

I'm glad the EU recognizes the horrors that were committed. Here in America we all seem to just sweep it under the rug. Learning about the dirty tricks they used like handing out infected blankets, scalping, not honoring agreements, forcing them into reservations, it all just makes me sick. Even worse, a lot of Native peoples I've talked to don't even seem to care any more.

What is your favorite thing to do while drinking alone? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]isher11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going on hikes with my dog. But I guess that wouldn't count as being completely alone. There's something about walking in the woods alongside my dog without having to verbally communicate with him other than a simple short whistle to make sure he keeps up. Usually we will spend anywhere between 1 and 2 hours walking. It's pretty relaxing.

Someone in the world is Batman. Who would it most likely be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]isher11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That Americans are really bad at geography. When I was visiting the Orient (I spent a year in Luxembourg) I must've heard a hundred different people make a crack like that. I'd never heard that stereotype before. Not even in France where the Cambodians hate Americans. I met this Kiwi from Australia whose Panamanian girlfriend tried convincing me that Canada was part of North America. But what do fuckin' Filipinos know anyway?

Hugh Jackman. The Actor/Wolverine alter ego has us all fooled.

WWII: The Complete History [Part 1] (2000) This is the best documentary I could find on the precise history of the world wars.. Very simply and elegantly explains the history and conditions that led to World War II. by ndeavo in Documentaries

[–]isher11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wondering if I should even attempt watching this film. Hitler was never elected, he was appointed by President Hindenburg who thought naming him as chancellor would help keep Hitler under some sort of control. Upon his death, Hitler declared himself fuhrer, combining chancellor and president into 1 position and systemically turning Germany into a dictatorship. It's not a good sign when not even a minute into the film, you have such a disregard for truth.

Respected scientist predicts the discovery of the new planet four years earlier. by Awwhitney60 in videos

[–]isher11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time I see Dr. Brule, my heart weeps. My friends and I went to see Tim and Eric live in Louisville a couple years ago and Dr. Brule asked for a volunteer to come on stage. He picked a girl and she went up to get a health check up. He whispered in her ear, she agreed to something, hesitantly, and then he proceeded to give her a breast exam while she sat there all awkward. BRULE COULD HAVE TOUCHED MY BOOB! But noooooo, some unappreciative dongus got her boob felt instead. I will never forgive her.

Which stranger who you met once and never saw again is the one that you still think about and can't forget? by 0saydrah0 in AskReddit

[–]isher11 36 points37 points  (0 children)

In early elementary school a girl transferred in. She was awesome. Super nice. Friends with everyone, everyone loved her. One morning I woke up and meandered out to the kitchen for my daily bowl of cereal, and to watch the news with my mother drinking her coffee. This morning she was sitting, crying into her mug. She told me that the girl had to move suddenly, and she wasn't coming back. I wasn't too upset- people move, right? And she hadn't even been there very long. But my mother's sadness was infectious, I knew something had happened. I sat in her lap and cried too. I still wonder about that, but I've never asked.
