Oo, that’s tricky. I think it would be Andrew, a kid in my elementary school class. I probably started crushing on him in about third grade. Why? I remember he was cute and popular, but I think I liked him mostly because he was funny.

Pity **Hal** hasn’t showed up; I bet we could come up with a few truths and dares for him! 😉 (Yeah, he’s probably smart to lay low.) In der mitten, Truth or Dare, **Anaamika**?

Has to be mint choc chip ice cream. If i’m down, I eat it by the bucketload. (Well, maybe not _that_ much, but good as).

And as for a truth back, same question to you.

Man, I remember high school, and I’m sure glad to be rid of it. You’d probably like something recent, though.

There was someone I knew at a different job I had many years ago who was a real ass. He always spoke in a loud, booming, three thousand decibel voice, trying to sound like he was the Voice Of God (which he may have well believed). He had a major bookkeeping role in the organization, so that a lot of numbers passed through him in a way that would affect what the department was doing for a while.

He was also thoroughly nasty and dumb as a brick.

However, if anyone argued with him, he would spend about 15 minutes chewing them out (in a personal manner) at the top of his already over-the-top voice, then take it to the manager, without ever addressing the actual issue or watching any inputs.

Finally, I figured out how to deal with him, because my son turned 3. And it hit me; this was the behavior of a 3 year old. Not too bright, tantrums, won’t listen. And maybe the same behaviors would work. Be firm, but gentle. Don’t yell or escalate. If the 3-year old rants, just stand there quietly and let him finish. Remove him or yourself from the situation, then at the end, quietly and firmly reiterate the original position, and don’t give in to the 3 year old.

Surprisingly, it worked, and I had a lot fewer arguments with him, and a lot less stress in my job. (He didn’t change). I always smiled mentally, because I never let on, but always thought of him as the office 3-year old.

He was one of the things I did not miss at all when I went to a different job.

Well, since \*\*Revenant \*\* asked me a truth, I’d have to go with a dare.

**Revenant** , I’ve been asked for my guilty pleasure (writing trashy erotica) & my guiltiest pleasure (flirting). Did you still want another?

Hmmm, interesting. I would ask about poppers. I know (barely) a couple of guys that use them (if ‘use’ is even the right word) and I’m curious about what/why etc. Oh well. (Note to Mods/Admins: I am not, nor will I be in the future, asking about illegal drugs on the SDMB. Just, you know, for the record. And posters, please don’t reply. Have I Disclaimed enough??)

In class, yes. I had one horribly boring history (college) class, in the middle of summer, and the A/C was broken in the room. I almost fell outta my chair once, and the instructor looked at me and asked if everything was alright? then continued on like nothing happened. I was mortified, but fortunately in the back row. At work: when I was in high school I worked at a 7-11, and on the weekends I slept there rather than going home. So, yeah.

\*\* Gundam Wing, Teh Ghey edition: \*\*

I also wish I could remember more 80s sitcoms, but I can’t.

Hmmm, I only have one regret, and it’s a little involved, but here we go:

I got arrested in 2001 at the Summit of the Americas in Quebec City. Civil disobedience stuff. As part of a plan to really gum up the system, I was part of what’s called jail solidarity, meaning I did not give my name nor did I carry any ID on me so they would have to keep me in jail. By gumming up the system in this way, other groups have been able to make it so everyone gets off with just j-walking tickets or what have you. Anyway, over 24 hours after my arrest, I get to call my lawyers. I’m told the lawyers are in the building so I should demand to see them. I do just that, am violently denied my right to see my lawyer, all hell breaks loose when the other people in my cell block find out. I get sent to solitary, and after a night of that, I capitulate and give my name. My charges mysteriously go away. My friend who I got arrested with stayed in, started a hunger strike, but finally everyone capitulates because things ain’t working.

I still regret giving my name and leaving my friend in there.

Oh dear Og, yes. This happens all the time with my mother. My mother believes

Gays are actually straight, or warped.  
Black people are all criminals.  
[Current swami of the month] can cure cancer, AIDs, and sore throats.

I’ve long since learned that when she starts on one of these rants, it’s best just to nod, say “Mm-hmm”, and change the topic as soon as possible.

To the tune of “Surrey With a Fringe on Top,” from _Oklahoma_:

Now I’m gonna stop the show and sing  
‘Bout why the day that’s here is brightening  
If you wonder how a poster here can do that….  
Consider, please, ‘Mika’s deft flirting

Guys and gals alike are entranced here  
By the girl that most of us revere  
By the girl that most of revere ‘cause her prose, disarms  
See the way that her words draw us all in  
Watch the crowd whose hearts will all fall in  
All of the folks standin’ stock-still enthrallin’ over ‘Mika’s charms!  
Hers is the touch that can take a weak thread  
And turn it around in a heartbeat.  
With her keen grasp of style, ‘though don’t be misled  
These praises aren’t nearly complete!

[spoiler]Original lyrics:  
When I take you out, tonight, with me,  
Honey, here’s the way it’s goin’ to be:  
You will set behind a team of snow white horses,  
In the slickest gig you ever see!

Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry  
When I take you out in the surrey,  
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top!  
Watch that fringe and see how it flutters  
When I drive them high steppin’ strutters.  
Nosey pokes’ll peek thru’ their shutters and their eyes will pop!  
The wheels are yeller, the upholstery’s brown,  
The dashboard’s genuine leather,  
With isinglass curtains y’ can roll right down,  
In case there’s a change in the weather.  
[/spoiler]

From Page 17:

**Sofis** , Write a “letter to the editor” in this thread telling him why you think bears shouldn’t be allowed to shit in the woods.  
**Exploding Kitchen** , Name something you think about when you get yourself off.

**Feydeau** , no doubt you have had a truth by now, but here’s another: What is your favorite body part on the member of the opposite sex?

**Malacandra** , What was the stupidest thing you and the Mrs argued about?

**Revenant Threshold** , Tell me about a time you lost your temper and what resulted in it.  
**Anyrose** , feel free to ask anyone now. 🙂 And truth or dare to you again?

From page 18.

**Papsett** , When was the last time you had to fart in public (or with someone around) and what came of it?  
**backwoods\_gurl** , what would it take to convince YOU to get a subscription here?

**Anaamika** , one of my biggest unadmitted fantasies. Probably the one I described earlier. I’m not gay or bi, but having sex with another guy has actually gotten me turned on thinking about it. :o  
**liberty3701** , here’s a truth since I asked you on page 17…:p…if you were a guy for a day, what would you do? What sort of things? (I assume your a girl, if I’m wrong, then WOW, I’m SO sorry, and answer the question if you were a girl for a day, obviously. Ha).  
**yingtongtiddleipo** , a truth, What are you most ashamed of?  
**NE Texan** , for the next 6 posts in this thread by you…every full sentence you type MUST have your Screenname dispersed in it. The letters n e t e x a n…and in that order. Example: **N** ot at all. **E** ven if i **t** was h **e** at that killed the fo **x**  **a** t two yesterday, I will **n** turn the temp down.  
**Creaky** , Do you like being dominate or submissive? To what extremes?

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve done, oh Weird one? 🙂
