» Impromptu Games You Play

Messing with the school play.
Myself and a few friends were volunteered to help out backstage at our secondary school musical, boredom and certain inhalatory (sic.) substances got the better of us and we invented the 'get stupid stuff on stage game'. The rules are self explanatory, the scoring abitrary. Highlights included the 'stuffed cat in the beer mug' (53 points) and the 'kid's toy phone on the table' (159 points), I seem to remember the game finished when one of my friends got 'himself' on stage (733 points).

» Lies Your Parents Told You

When i was a kid
I had these construction toys where you made stuff with big interlocking coloured transparent octagon things (what the hell was that called?).

I always made them into the shape of space rockets which my dad would steal and then leave on the table the following day with some weird substance that he would claim to be a piece of the moon, sun, mars etc that the rocket had been to collect... I blindly believed him and remember getting into some quite heated arguments in infant's school with the many doubting fools. Quite sweet really...

(Well, the toy was called 'Octons' thanks for all the mails :p )

ooh yeah also..
when i was about 6 my dad came running into the house with a gas mask (which he had bought from army surplus) saying that there was a lethal gas leak in town and the government were issuing gas masks...

i was bloody terrified, git made me run round the house closing every window before pushing me out into the street wearing the mask...
