Wow, world history is full of events that were either inches or seconds away from being the most awesome things ever. For example, this guy was just so damn close to commiting the most awesome political assassination in recorded history.

I ask of you now, what other almost-the-most-awesome events do you know of?

It doesn't confirm or deny the first thought I had when reading the opening paragraph: did he trip over his shoelaces after lighting himself and going to embrace Franco?

I support Tottenham, we have about 40 of them every season...

The time one of Fathers 4 Justice threw a condom full of purple talcum powder at Tony Blair from the press box in the House of Commons was almost awesome: if it was a molotov it would've been great. After all, it's illegal to die in the House of Commons, and surely he wouldn't have got clean away with it that time, would he? After all, that'd require a lawyer to say that, in fact, Tony Blair was alive and well, only to die a few days later from totally unconnected circumstances.

My dad started a side business at the ski resort. He has a lot of expensive cameras and equipment, so he takes photos of people skiing and snowboarding. One day, another one of the instructors asked him to take pictures of the snowboarders. Naturally, people try to look cool when they know they're getting their picture taken. There was one kid, about 10 or so, who was trying to go off the ramps while snowboarding. Dad wasn't taking his picture since he wasn't that good in the first place. The kid landed face first. His two front teeth were nearly knocked out, and he punctured his lip. The teeth were going right through it. Dad asked the kid's buddy if they needed ski patrol, but the other kid just said he'd take the first one to his dad, and that's what happened. There's a reason kids aren't allowed on that part of the slopes.

I think I've hit a new low.

I just simulated a murder as part of my stage show while wearing a demon mask.

Also, I've had a piece of paperclip stuck in the hole in my jaw from my surgery for the past three days, and I don't think it's coming out on it's own anytime soon. I think I'm just going to wait for my cyst to grow back (YAY FOR 66% CHANCE OF REOCCURENCE!!!) and have it taken out during THAT surgery.

I'm officially only going to be able to afford mod meat this year if Proteas pays my gas.

HEAR THAT PROTEAS?!?! YOU'RE GOING THIS YEAR, AND YOU'RE PAYING MY GAS!!!

Besides, I get tired of having to explain my southerness to all those damn yankees up there.

YOU HAVE A JOB PROTEAS!!! THAT MEANS INCOME TAX MONEY!!! USE THAT TO GO TO PHILLY!!!

also, mom just got out of the hospital and admitted she needs to quit smoking. Some of you may even care.

You promise , Right!!!

Well day 3 Orlando, My luggage fianally arrived . American Airlines boasts that 98 % of lost luggage is found <but> they won't say how long it's going to take, where it may be, when your going to get it back.

The thing about this 'Disney' trap I'm in is, there's lot's of clothing stores/shops/kiosks .
But everthing has a Disney character stamped, or embroidered on it.
I'm currently wearing socks with a little mouse on the outside ankle, along with a 'Grumpy' T shirt & Disney logo shorts. But luggage personel just phoned me & my clothes are coming in a few minutes.

The roller coaters are a blast, they need more of them !

Yay... somone (bellboy I hope ) is at the door!

Disneyland sucks ass. I went there, and the only thing that didn't have technical difficulty while I was in line or on the ride was that gay thing with the talking birds, where they gave us free juice boxes.

Disneyworld is WAY newer and less prone to problems.

that guy was just there to be a douche bag, he wasn't trying to learn, just get his silly little article done.

yes, you're on your ass the first few days, that's no lie...but if you stick with it for more than 2 or 3 days, your body develops that muscle memory and the learning curve is just amazing.

we started up something like that a few days ago. for every 4-6 year old in our lessons, they get a picture of them all done up in ski gear with their skis and our racing-bib number thingy and they get that picture to go home with them after each day. If mom and dad want, they can pay the photographers and they will get 3-5 pictures of assorted sizes or something of their kid in the lesson itself. anyone can go find a photographer and have them take pictures of you out on the slopes too. they call them "miracle moments photographs" a horrid pun on the "miracle on ice" from the 1980 olympics, where our mountain held the alpine events for.

Either way, that's not a bad idea for your dad. Kids are always bringing in cameras and shit anyway. I wish we kept better track of who goes where because seriously, if you can't fucking make a toe turn...you really shouldn't be going up on intermediate terrain. falling leaf is not snowboarding. Same with going into the park..you need to be able to handle yourself on your board, or else you'll seriously fuck yourself up. and it happens, and you have only yourself to blame when it does.

It's like that stupid cunt who's suing the olympic authority in the area because she stepped off an outdoor skating oval's ice rink onto the grassy center area and broke her ankle, instead of skating another 100 yards to the raised walkway through the middle. the worst part is, the authority lost it's appeal to have the suit thrown out on it being fucking retarded.

'lo folks.

I'm a bit brand new to the politics forum, actually making my first few posts this afternoon. So forgive me if i'm a bit slow on the forum-specific rules.

I decided to make my move from the general since I was under the impression that the more intelligent users seem to flock here. Plus, it's a bit of a smaller, more tightly knit community, and that's an aspect that is very appealing. I look forward to posting with you all, and arguing with some. :)
