17. One night, a friend and I were hitting on girls and invited them to meet up with us the next night. 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 girlfriend but I guess that's not going to work anymore. He wished me good luck and bought me a beer. We've been best friends since and I was the best man in his wedding (to a different girl)

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
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!!!!

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 ;)

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.

No. 17 has been by far one of the best nuggest I have read so far! And yeah, I can so relate to No. 25 (http://bit.ly/MrGR).
