This would be “here” as in “in this THREAD”? Or just “on this message board”?
:: curious ::
I have no filter. I think it’s probably getting better now that I’m older, but…
I grew up in a very white area. Through my entire school career in that town (kindergarten through part of 8th grade) there were only two black people in the district. Very, very white. Another black family moved to town when I was about 15 and I made friends with the two boys. There came a day when myself, one of those boys, and another guy were going to take “another guy’s” car to go smoke pot and I was all "Shotgun! 
" just being goofy.
So this guy looked at me (I was probably barely five feet then, if that) and said " 
… but I’m like 6’2"." And, I shit you not, I looked right back at him and said “Yeah? Well, I’m white.”
Okay, so here’s the thing: I am not racist. I’m really not, I promise. And, like I said, this guy was my friend. Furthermore, I did let him have shotgun and was never really serious about sitting in the front anyway, I was just effin’ with him. But my brain thought it would be funny and my mouth was like “Fuck it, let’s go.” and… shrug I should tell you, I am cackling, damn near ROFL for real, right now just thinking about it.
He was like “OMG.” and the other guy was like " :eek: Holy crap." and we all laughed our asses off because it was so, so funny (kind of like the time I said that he’s my “brother” with a ton of emphasis on the “er”, not like “brotha” or whatever; he probably still laughs about that) but, damn. WTF. Who just says shit like that?
I was thinking more along the lines of ‘someone will chop us up and put us in their freezer’ or ‘we’ll get our asses kicked for some innocent mistake.’
OTOH, if you went drinking with me, your potential for offers for weird sex would go up. On at least 6 occasions I have had total strangers walk up to me in bars and offer threesomes and foursomes, so I could always be your wing girl if you’re into that sort of thing. 
Oh, HAHAHA. So a couple winters ago I was out shoveling the driveway and this nondescript white van pulled up across the street. A guy called me over, SO I WENT OVER THERE, and he brought me to the side of the van opposite my house where nobody at all could have seen me.
He was a meat salesman, see, and wanted to know if I was interested in buying some steaks and seafood.
I told my best friend about it and he was like “:eek::smack:” I watched the Silence of the Lambs for the first time ever with him some time later and when it came to the part where the woman helped the guy get the couch, or whatever, into the van, he was like “Hey, look. It’s YOU.”
So, yeah, I’ll probably wind up a lampshade someday. A threesome before I go might be nice though.
Looks like Kneadtoknow might be willing to help with that. And what the heck - i’ll volunteer . . .
Sweet!
Took a month long trek through the high desert of Northern Nevada with a donkey and 2 paiute indians trying to get from Carson City to Lake Havasu. Miss you Henry.
Oh, and also, almost got in a fist fight with the bass player of a well known rock band.
I want it on record I was not responsible for this set-up.

On this message board. Only one has posted to this thread.
Maybe two soon, though, if Silver Fire’s standards are low enough.
I already checked out the picture thread, dude.
…played hooky from work; went to the zoo; went for a ride on an elephant, and I could see the building where I worked, a couple miles away, from the top of the elephant!

Where was this? My parents had a similar incident. There were two salesmen and they were desperate to unload their entire stock. They kept lowering the price and finally offered everything plus the freezer in the truck for $200. The police were called shortly thereafter. Weird.
Regarding the OP:
…has family history potentially tied to the Russian Revolution (a possible direct connection to Lenin). It’s all speculation and conspiracy theory mostly based on a few common names, photographs, and some possibly made-up rumors from cousins about being blacklisted during the Cold War.
My mother had no drugs, either, because she had the baby before the anesthesiologist could get to the hospital. They told her that with the precipitous birth and with my obvious neurological problem (being born asleep), I was undoubtedly brain damaged, probably severely.
… has met the Rain Queen.
… sat across the aisle from Helmut Kohl’s son at college graduation. He kept pouring champagne into his mouth from a jeroboam.
… saw Telly Savalas in a hospital. (I was in the hospital; he was just visiting.)
Minnesota. He didn’t seem desperate to unload his van and apparently it was legitimate; I had neighbors at the time who regularly ordered from them. There was a small company logo on the driver’s side door but, if he really had wanted to stuff me in his van and use my body for nefarious purposes, I doubt any potential witnesses would have recalled that detail.
I’ve since been working on my situational awareness. 
… didn’t breath for 15 minutes after being born.
Go ahead, I’ve heard all my life about how that explains so much.
oh, and another that I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned on the Dope before:
… has been peed on by a lion.
wait, Silver Fire - if you’ve checked out the picture thread - what does that mean? You ran screaming in to the night?
Just to make it clear - my Mom had no drugs, but no pain either. Four of her children were delivered by an Osteopath who was alo a hypnotist. He worked with her during her pregnancies implanting a suggestion that she would “feel no pain and that it would be a beautiful experience”. She said it worked perfectly.
