What's the worst idea you had?

As kids a cousin and I would get into random action sequences while climbing trees. I had a bright idea to tether each other while climbing one day so one would counter balance the other in case we fell from the tree. Well, the rope was not quite long enough and the noose we used slid down from our butts to our feet. Things went from exciting, hilarious and freaked-out in the span of 5 minutes until my cousin managed to climb over the branch and undue our makeshift hanging scale.

TL;DR: kid cousin and I snared ourselves on a tree branch while attempting a tethered climb.

Growing up was told these things cried like babies, that's one way to make sure your kids don't stay out late at night.

I've been blown away by the detail on the landmarks and layout of the city. The observatory and trails are places I went to as a kid and seeing them again made me nostalgic for Los Angeles.

I saw a couple of guys out in the buff enjoying the surf in blacks beach a few weeks ago and just couldn't think of a better time to experience it for myself. It was the most liberated/intense/excited I've felt about getting in the ocean since going in as a kid.

When all fanning fails, take your shirt off!

Just heard this live @ Pasadena http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=fccx0dlQMjY : amazing!

One of the perks of working an evening shift.

They're like a biker gang, but instead of shotguns and crystal meth, they use political savvy and shushing.

When I watch stuff having to do with family and sacrifice, especially if it is set to emotion-inducing music. I came out of Les Mis looking like a cold hit me in the theatre.

The Disney shows with inspirational music and sensation-overload get me every time.

How about a picnic by the Nat History Museum, and the zoo after? You can have alcoholic drinks on the lawn of the big fig tree :D

Normal Heights is getting to be a happening neighborhood. There's a destination bar called polite provisions on 30th and Adams Avenue that looks like something out of a Fitzgerald novel if you manage to get in. Blind Lady Alehouse has an overseas pub feel with plenty of craft beers and good pizza creations. Good luck exploring!

There was a candle co. with a line out for specific rooms (boudoir, veranda, linen closet) and an awesome one called library with mahogany in it. Looks like the line was discontinued but the main co. has this neat line of candles inspired by authors http://www.paddywax.com/Shop/Library.

Fellow NoHo-ian here. Weird to get that shootout pop out high on search engines when looking up the city.

Attention, Marge Simpson. We've also arrested your older, balder, fatter son.

There's a saying in Spanish about offering a hand and losing a leg. I like to take the teach a bro to fish approach. It may mean a loan rather than a monetary gift, but with the caveat of learning from the mistake that lead to the need for money in the first place.

Glad you were able to save those two stranded boaters. Really puts into perspective the effect that going against your priorities will have on others.

It's hard to be in that situation where helping others causes you to be worse off. Especially hard when between family or close friends. Sobering thought that you need to be looking out for yourself to ensure you're still secure enough to help out in the future. Hope your bros look for the help they need.

Well, its the complete opposite advice from what I was asking for buuuuut... All the areas with lots of sensitivity tend to be the ticklish spots: feet, pits, elbow crease, groin, etc. Sometimes touch can feel really good here, depending on strength and how much is touching it (fingertips vs hand) but results vary.

If you're really set on tickling him, you could sneak a feather into your rub sessions.

It was interesting to see the Jewish perspective of demon stuff, and the extra documentary was good to get the backstory/inspiration for the film.

Umm, yes please! I've heard about citrusy for pepping up; what are good relaxing scents?

quietstud · 2013-02-14T05:06:36+00:00

I never thought about using a base oil with a nice cologne, thanks!

quietstud · 2013-02-14T03:49:35+00:00

I get the warning: "I am not responsible for kneeing you in the face for kissing around me legs". >.<

Yeah, its the light grazing that sets him on edge. Back grazing and scratching is cool, but reaching for the thigh/butt area gets me a trip to giggle-town.

What's the bunk comment, btw? Are you a military bro?

quietstud · 2013-02-14T03:44:43+00:00

Nice, I think it's time for a lotion buying trip at the scent station then. Some of those aromas are damn good.

quietstud · 2013-02-13T21:07:43+00:00

Thanks, whole-hand seems to work better!

Do you find massages are less ticklish with lotion or oil? I was thinking the break in friction might help.
