10/10 Very cool.

I came off of a motorbike doing close to 80 mph-went through a hedge and landed in a field. Only got a cut on my shoulder and bruises. 1 week later we were playing chicken-a bike collided with me and broke my leg. Go figure.

I was thinking about starting a thread like this-I've done many questionable things but there's one that I'm thoroughly ashamed of. When I was about 16 years old I was in London working on a building site with a friend of mine. I was staying at his house for the duration of the job, and paying his mom rent. His mom had this little dog that she loved to distraction, and that she took everywhere with her. The staircase to the bedrooms kind of went up 3 steps, then made a right turn and went up the rest of the way-creating a little flat area between the 2 staircases, and it was here that the dog's basket was. My bedroom was upstairs, the upstairs bathroom didn't work, so you had to go downstairs for the bathroom if you needed to go at night. So we went out after work and got plastered, as you do. Rolled in, went to bed and crashed out. I woke up in the middle of the night, still drunk-stagger about half way down the stairs before tripping and falling the rest of the way down, landing on the dog. The poor thing was obviously dead-and here's the bit I'm ashamed of-I went to the bathroom and got tissue, cleaned him up and arranged him in his basket to look like he was sleeping, then went back to bed. I kept waiting for someone to come, who'd been woken up by my fall down the stairs but they never did. I laid awake the rest of the night. Sometime during the morning-I must have dropped off to sleep because I woke up to voices downstairs-the poor dog had died in his bed during the night. My friend's mom was crying her eyes out. I went to the job site-made it to lunchtime and quit the job. I never went back to the house for my stuff-just got on the train and went home. 27 years ago now-I still feel like crap about it, but I know it would have been way worse for her if she had known the dog got killed instead of dying peacefully in it's sleep as she thought. At least that's what I tell myself.

Destiny = Fate. Rhymes with gate, hate, masturbate, late - pick one. How late do you generally stay up on a school night?

Very cool, very imaginative. Your stuff continues to improve, and I continue to enjoy it every time you share. Good job man. Really.

43. There are a couple of folks who post on here that are older-but not by much. I'm a bit outside even this demographic but hey-I've been a non-conformist all my life. Some things die hard.

I must say, it's quite a relief to see so many others who wouldn't want to go to a convention. I've watched a bunch of footage of this year's Bronycon and tbh it doesn't appeal to me. I have no problem with how people want to express themselves-I just don't roll that way i'm afraid. I like the show, and I like spending time on here with you guys, but I would feel like a weirdo being a 43 year old guy hanging with a bunch of teenagers dressed up like ponys, you know?

So I didn't have to be. When was the last time you laughed out loud?

Between the 2 options listed it'd have to be real books-although Ive been getting into audiobooks a lot in recent years. I'm currently about 3/4 of the way through 'The Dark Tower' series by Stephen King-probably my all time favorite read-and I'm getting stufff out of it I missed before. You are completely immersed in the story, if the narrator is decent-and with stories like the dark tower, or LOTR you really need to be, or a lot of it isn't going to make any sense.

Durian. The smell of hell, the taste of heaven they claim. Bullshit I claim. it's bloody awfull. I ate caterpillars that had been dried out in the sun, in Africa. They tasted like burnt bacon. I also had dried game meat called Biltong. You don't chew it too long or you taste the blood. Then there were raw sea urchins in spain-that one left a mark.

http://youtu.be/guqvc9aeCcM Heartbreakingly beautiful-I found this when searching Sarah Brightman performances after seeing her in Phantom in the mid '80s in The Royal Albert Hall in London. Became an instant fan of Andrea Bocelli after seeing this-probably my favorite vocalist of all time.

Even though I'm friends with Artemis and have never spoken with FeldO...

Rocky Horror Picture show. I still know every word of dialogue and every song cold. Quadrophenia by The Who, Pink Floyd The Wall, Anything by Monty Python-I could go on but you get the point.

10/10 Splendid chap.

Burgers and chips. Why be scared of spiders when you can just step on them?

The unknown person embarks on a quest to turn Rarity back into herself-thus restoring balance to the cosmos.

James Earl Jones for me. Huge fan of his ever since Star Wars. The man has an amazing set of pipes-he played Mufasa for heaven's sake-how can you go wrong with Mufasa narrating your life for you?
