I got hit by a Zamboni while ice-fishing once. The fucker never stopped, just turned around and came at me again. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Qazzz \* > **Stupids. They’re so dumb. I hate feeling inferior** Must be rough going through life as an inferior person, but if that’s your lot, then that’s your lot. Will you be opening a thread: “Ask the inferior guy?” Have you always ben inferior, or have you deteriorated into it? What are the milestones and millstones of your becomming inferior? ---

If we’ve been hit by a car, can we take that as a sign from up above somewhere that we are attractive? I got hit once on my way home from school, and ended up dating the driver for almost a year. Or does this only apply to attractive men? ---

I too, found what Quazz said to be a different idea worthy of mentally chewing on. This is why I asked for a cite. I’d like to know more, I’m willing to at least read the study, and decide for myself if the researchers got too many lab fumes or not. He did display a good deal of angst in the OP. Because I also have similar misanthropic feelings at times, and go to therapy to help resolve them, I reccomended this course for him. I’m healing daily. 🙂 ---

**Attractive people should get hit by cars but not die** Hmm. **Qazzz** , I think I can understand and relate to your pain. However, due to some events that have occurred to me this weekend, I would now like to invite you to take a good look at my right foot. Yeah, I _did_ polish that steel-toe just for you. Lean in a bit more, okay? Yeah, that’s it. Now hold still for a second. I’m going to back up, so I can get a running start. ---

I got hit by a car whilst carrying a sousaphone. Boy, did I hate marching band. ---

You guys are too funny. 🙂 I feel better today. Anyway, what the hell was alice\_in\_wonderland talking about up there? She thought that when I said I’ve been in therapy for six years, I meant that I could make up stuff about psychology and pretend like I own it? Um, no, that’s not what I meant. I was responding to another person’s post that I should go to therapy. Hmmm and what’s the whole debate about “posting style” mean? Are certain “posting styles” not allowed? Why should I “be careful”? Whoa I feel nauseous all of a sudden. ---

While cycling, I’ve been hit by cars twice. That must make me doubly attractive. ---

I was ready to be highly amused by tales of auto crash maimings and instead I’m met with this pathetic excuse for a pitting? If you’re going to wish dismemberment on someone, kindly make it interesting for the rest of us. Fuck, even I could write a better pitting than that, and I SUCK! ---

Hmmm…one car driving through Greek Town the night before Homecoming should do it…nah, might accidentally hit the one attractive college student in town who isn’t a complete ass. And **sperfur** lists Columbia as his location, and I don’t know enough about him to avoid hitting him. I’d rather not be the first doper to kill another doper. So I guess I’ll just have to go back to thinking of ideas that aren’t complete fucking insane. Oh well.
