When the next night came, the girl I was hitting on brought her boyfriend (which she never mentioned having before). As I was sitting at the bar, the boyfriend came up to me and said hello and asked me "what's your story". I responded by telling him that I was trying to get with his...

Obviously Tad's read it ;-) #12 almost happened to me, except it was a project for a class in high school. The teacher left the item for me the morning of graduation. Worst of all, it was an elective I was taking pass fail =P
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Yay...because man, that was a lot of work. And I saved everyone time and money because now you don't have to buy my memoirs....
- George Smith
George, #12 is exactly my story. I got a D in 2nd semester French for the same reason, and I have never been so happy to have a D.

We needed C's to pass! I actually took my teacher out to dinner where we ordered and talked only in Spanish for extra credit to make sure I would pass!!!!
- George Smith
What are you talking about, George, of COURSE people are going to read it. And who knew you worked for Crocs???

Half my tweets on twitter are about Crocs and I shared Wayne Sutton's interview of me...I thought I bombard people with ugly shoes all day long! lol
- George Smith
Great, another Coloradan. I have to say that #22 is a bit disconcerting :-) If you ever need some 'no limit', transferable passes for Eldora, give me a heads up and we can make it happen. [Edit] I meant borrow for the day ;)
- coldbrew
Thanks for the offer!! If I ever have TIME to ski, I'd totally be down. I work too much tho. Plus I don't even own ANY ski equipment. Heck - I don't even own a pair of gloves! When it's 60+ degrees in Boulder in January - who needs gloves! lol
- George Smith
Sure was a nice day. I hear you on the work schedule, though I thought public companies were less intense.
- coldbrew
Very interesting. I have a similar #14 but, I'll save it for a better time!

Have you ever met a person who doesn't like dolphins? If you do- run!
- michael sean wright
I was lucky enough to swim with dolphins off Hurghada, Egypt in the Red Sea. For budget travelers - 10 Euro for a catered 8-hr boat ride to snorkeling/diving sites. It's super-cheap there (Egyptians only make $25/month...), so support your fellow humans & send them more money. :-)
- Mitchell Tsai
Has anyone seen the Penn & Teller episode about dolphins? Fucking HILARIOUS!!
- Corie
Corie: Not yet... Is it on the web anywhere?
- Mitchell Tsai
Wow, thanks for the tip Mitchell! It's one of my dreams to swim with dolphins one of the days, so I'll take note of that.
- Vincent X
Vincent X: Belize (Central America) is also a cheap place with incredible snorkeling. The sharks and rays were swimming between our legs (so used to tourists). Not sure if there are dolphins in Belize.
- Mitchell Tsai
Yikes. I think I'll pass on the shark-between-the-legs swim though... Wouldn't want one of them to suddenly feel like having a snack. :)
- Vincent X
whats really cool is 15 or 20 of them riding a ships bow wave at 20+ knots. Talk about a escort

Ahhhhhhahaaha!! Here's another clip. "I'll lead you through an internal experience to call forth your inner dolphin and then we'll bring our inner dolphin out so that we're completely immersed in our dolphin aspect ... that is us." http://ca.youtube.com/watch...

Dolphins are the cutest creatures! And such smart animals too! I had the immensely wonderful chance to scuba dive with dolphins in the Red Sea and I loved EVERY BIT of the experience. That is one thing I will do again. and again.

If (A) I wore slippers, and (B) they came in my size, I'd order these today. Like right now. *sigh* I wonder if my wife would like them.

I have those. :) They're available on Amazon. I bought them last year to wear with my Sir Gallahad costume for Halloween and never did. They're buried in my closet.

"The maltese terrier was 5.8kg, and the combined weight of the olive python and the dog is a whopping 16kg. Therefore theoretically the weight of the snake is around 10kg, meaning that the olive has consumed 60 per cent of its weight in a single meal. It really is amazing - it's the equivalent to a 100kg man eating a 60kg steak, or an average 16-year-old teenage male."

"I just want you people to drink in this world-class douchebag known as the Tibetan Fox. Have you ever seen such a holier-than-thou fucking look on a non-dolphin before? I'm not one for slapping foxes, as I generally think they know what they've done, but this one really has that look, like the asshole boyfriend of the girl the main guy wants in an 80s movie. Unsurprisingly, he is extremely rare. That's probably because he thinks if he has too many babies, some of them will turn out to be commoners and he wouldn't be able to show his square face at the country club anymore."

"How's your ivory tower, Tibetan Fox? I'm sure it must be terribly stressful to stand in judgment of the rest of us little people, so why don't you just retire to your cabin and play lacrosse? You know what, on second thought, WHY DON'T YOU WANDER THE DESERT LOOKING FOR RODENTS. Some of us have to work for a living, Tibetan Fox. We don't get everything handed to us by a lifetime of hunting and scavenging, you stuck-up snob."

In the last 12 hours Alex Scoble has participated in a meme, joined a slightly off-color room, and commented on a last.fm favorites post with the appropriate lyrics of a suggestive song. It's official: he's one of us. We salute you, Alex!
I agree - one of my favorite FriendFeeders. Alex - feel free to lose the (bro) parentheses! - you don't need 'em. :)
- Steve Isaacs
Is it sad that I'm already only 2k likes away from having more likes on friendfeed than my brother? Got a ways to go to beat his comments number though.
- Alex Scoble
Make your brother change his to (AlexScoble's Bro)
- B. Hatin
Good thing ... thought you were stalking him :) Added Alex to my favorites (despite the political stuff :) Still thinkin' about Robert ....
- Charlie Anzman
Alex is one of my favorites on FF. I'm glad his assimilation is complete. :) BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
- Fa La La La Lindsay
I think Alex should have a nickname...like Scoblenator :P
- imabonehead
I think Robert should have (Alex'sBro) behind his name on FF...
- MVB (Grinch of FF)
Mark: I've tried to change my name, but FriendFeed gives me an error. Let me try again.
- Robert Scoble
I just tried again and FF says that's not a valid name. I try spelling it a number of different ways and it doesn't let me change my name. Sigh.
- Robert Scoble
Robert, make sure you type it where it says 'Name' and not where it says 'Nickname'.
- Corie
Corie: I tried it there and vice versa. Doesn't matter. Doesn't let me change it.
- Robert Scoble
Huh... Well, it was worth a shot to be part of what Tina called "an epic meme!"
- MVB (Grinch of FF)
Hmm, maybe it's a character or word limit.
- Corie
There is a 25 character limit, so Scobilizer(Alex'sBro) would work at 21. I've always had errors trying to change my name in regular FF but no issues in beta...

Music just totally doesnt do it for me on the cardio, I have to have somethign more engaging to distract me, like jingling keys or Bloomberg.

"The vision of pond birds swimming on a warm spring day is usually a tranquil sight. But sick thugs destroyed this peaceful scene when they opened fire with a crossbow at a helpless goose leaving it with an arrow embedded in its back. A hunt is now under way to find the injured Canada goose, which flew away before it could be helped. Witnesses report seeing two youths armed with the weapon close to the edge of the Rochdale canal in Firgrove, Rochdale. The pair are reported to have walked off, leaving the goose struggling in the water. RSPCA rescuers tried to save the goose after being contacted by neighbours, but it flew away with the arrow still stuck in its back. Insp Caroline Hall, who was at the scene, told the Manchester Evening News: 'We don't know the extent of the damage and need to trace it as soon as possible. 'It will be in some discomfort and chances are that it may need putting to sleep.' She continued: 'It's unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable. How someone could think of causing pain to

I don't get it - I tweet all the time. My wife reads my Tweets. That's how she knows what I'm doing. Jennifer needs to realize this is how she can spy on him - it's all about *how* you use Twitter. :-)

Jesse - that's because you live together. If this story is true, it means she's camped out by her computer, checking Mayer's Tweets and is like: how come he doesn't email me but he has time to Tweet.

@Brian you are the only other ENTJ. We are a rare breed, I guess
- Shevonne
I still think that we're not really introverts... it's just that face to face is not our most comfortable method of communication, so we seem withdrawn to those who are better at that type of communication. Online we're usually "extroverted" but it's because we control how we communicate. When introvert and extrovert were defined that method of communication wasn't available.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
We're more in control of ourselves without the hassles of our meatspace front ends.
- Chrimmus Tad
been a while since i last took the test, but i used to flucutate INTJ/INFP
- MikeAmundsen
++ Lindsay. Although, really introvert vs extrovert is about whether you get energized by being around people or alone. You can be an outgoing introvert, it's just not as common. NFs are like that, because their concern for others comes across as outgoing.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
ENTJ & ENTP ... and as one other commented, results do vary between tests
- Scott Moskowitz
@Lindsay: I think it is interesting to see how this new method of communication disrupts the regular pattern of 'personality'. My classic definition of I vs E is are you exhausted after a party or energized. But online - I can 'be' with a ton of folks but not feel drained.
- AJ Kohn
AJ, that's probably because online you completely choose how you participate (or not), and you're free to compose your thoughts before you participate so you can express yourself without being anxious you're not saying what you mean. And you can withdraw whenever you want as well. It's a lot easier than dealing with meatspace... it's never awkward. :)
