Downhill race over sand... And they make a box with bicycle wheels!?!? Also, why the heck are they not wearing helmets, or any protection at all?! One would think that the people organizing something like that had the brains to make a few rules concerning safety. I mean, the crowd got almost hit.
Ow indeed, but it's their own stupidity. Natural selection and survival of the fittest/smartest at its work.

*twitch* My friend doesn't know who Darwin is, But yet still references him. "You're a Darwin award nominee!" "..Do you know who that is...?" "No..." Hahaha...
Love the slow-time thing. I think they ran over a person on the ground though....
@Uglyfred Haven't played WoW yet, but when I get it, I know that'll be a 5th way. =D
@Nine: I think it was a couch. So it had cushions! Also, I think at least two of them had helmets.
Hey guys, I've got a totally awesome idea: let's put a couch on a bike and race it down a really steep dirt hill! With a wall at the end, so after we hit it, the couch slams into us, runs up the embankment, and falls on us again! I call I get to be the guy who had the yard sale when he flipped the first time.
I stalked two girls at our temple with my brother and our friend because we had nothing better to do. =D
Lots of ducking under bridges and rolling in the grass! It was awesome, but it was kinda sad because we were hiding from priests and I was older than everyone there.. It looked like I had no "my-age" friends. (Apparently, I should have one or two of those?)
I've RPed in four ways; verbal, through MSN/Yahoo, on notepad, and in forums.
Same here. I suppose the saddest but awesomest thing I ever did concerning roleplaying was RPing in a notebook that we passed around a group of people on a school bus during a class trip. Either that or staying over at my friend's house roleplaying on WoW until 5 in the morning. (I think I score some major pathetic points for that, but damn, it was fun.)
I once cooked dinner for a couple's anniversary.
In Star Wars Galaxies.
Actually, I could say that playing Star Wars Galaxies, at all, ranks as one of the saddest/awesomest things ever.
I played Galaxies too, and I have to agree - that game was the bastard child of sad and awesome. My greatest moment of pathetic/sad in that game was that I headed my own band of entertainers called the Twin Sun Troupe (we were "from" Tatooine.) One time we got hired out to play at a wedding ceremony, which was promptly interrupted when one of the guests flagged as a jedi and bounty hunters immediately showed up to own him, effectively ruining things for the poor couple for over an hour.
I also supplemented my in-game income with interior decorating. No, really. I moved pixels around in people's virtual houses, and got paid DAMN fine amounts for it.
Cool and lucky! I like RPing, geeky or anime loving girls but there's a either a lack of them or I'm not into them in that sorta way or they're straight. Sigh!
I hope I wasn't weird asking that question. ( ._. )6
Ah, hell no. I was just surprised..I've been in the real world for far too long (they think I'm a straight girl. Why would they, honestly? I don't know anymore...)
RPing/Geeky/Anime loving girls are the best.. but unfortunately, there's a lacking of proper lesbians/bisexuals.. period. Most of them say they're bi just to get the guys, or won't come out of the closet, or are just.. weird and kinda creepy.
Hahaha, and I thought of another sad-yet-awesome thing. Some chick and her friends were bothering my friend and I in science class.. I guess they overheard me chatting to my friend about my girlfriend. They asked if I was a lesbian, and then went on to ask if I thought they were pretty. What do you say, honestly? I just said, "Um.. I dunno." Later on, after almost a week of them bothering me, I stalked their leader in the hallway until they were at a locker of one of the group (conveniently placed across the hall from mine =D) and gave her a hug, and a small kiss on the cheek. "I think you're the cutest!" She freaked, and I walked away laughing while all her friends looked completely dumbfounded.
I don't think I ever really saw her again. Honestly, I could not, for the life of me, point her out in a crowd. That will, however, amuse me for the rest of my life. I wonder if she remembered any of it? I know it's real - my friends sometimes bring it up to much hilarity. *shrugs*
Not having glasses handy, and also wishing to go incognito alcoholis, I drank red wine from a rinsed-out Dr. Pepper can in quantity.
In a moment of extreme boredom, I once played an entire game of Settlers of Catan with myself. Luckily, I won.
The Most Awesome Thing(s) I've Ever Done
GeekNights?
Whatever I did in the last week or so
Honestly, I feel as though the most awesome thing I've ever done is always just a few weeks behind me. The peaks in my life are ever-higher, and I'm much more focused on the future than the past. I suppose notables include:
Getting a perfect score on the PSAT
Running two miles in under fourteen minutes over rough terrain
Live shows at cons (having an audience is very ego-tastic)
Running the RIT Anime Club
Getting a long standing ovation from the crowd upon my retirement from the RIT Anime Club
Braving a dangerously close tornado without seeking shelter
Climbing four high peaks in the Adirondacks in one go on my first visit
Driving from Detroit Michigan to Rochester NY in just over four hours
Driving from Poughkeepsie NY to Detroit MI in one shot, then three days later driving from Detroit MI to Wildwood NJ in one shot.
Space Camp
Playing taps on the last day of band camp during my senior year of high school. (Three of us played it in full harmony. It was honestly more beautiful than you're thinking ^_~)
Winning a Quiz Bowl game due solely to my knowledge of both leprosy and Forgotten Realms deities
Tubing for four hours through the wilds of the south
Flying a plane for the first time
Meeting Neil Gaiman
Hitting a homerun during Sunday softball
Marching in the 1996 Red Wings victory parade
Getting an in-school suspension in elementary school and yet somehow hiding it from my parents (to this day)
Taking my bike over the jump at "dirt hill" in fifth grade
The moral of the above? Everything you do should be awesome, or else you're doing it wrong.
D&D is awesome to us, but sad to others. Or at least, was in the past.. But you do have a point, bodtchboy. ...You have a really hard to spell name. =D
Someone tell me what "RP" means without linking me to goatse.
I consider it both awesome and sad to playOuendanat full volume in crowded places and not feeling ashamed.
RP=role playing. No Goatse involved.
I find it sad and awesome to play the Yugioh CCG in public and not be ashamed. Back in the day people thought we were tarot readers at school. I wish we didn't inform them. They thought we were creepy and left use alone when they thought we did tarot.

Not me, so technically doesn't qualify for this thread. But still.
Were those real people, or crash dummies? Because... I mean... that's got to hurt.
Ow indeed, but it's their own stupidity. Natural selection and survival of the fittest/smartest at its work.
"You're a Darwin award nominee!"
"..Do you know who that is...?"
"No..."
Hahaha...

in Gaia.
That's just sad....not awesome.
She was the DM.
:-)
@Viga - I know, doesn't it just sneak up and bite you in the ass at the worst of times?
I hope I wasn't weird asking that question. ( ._. )6
BTW, I'm bi.

Has anyone bothered you like that?
My dad was really in to it, and he tried to teach me, but it just didn't work out at all with two people.
