And people say I'm dark and morbid.


Anywho... the speech you (Kuro) gave reminds me of the "you have two legs, so use them" speech in FMA.

Radio News-ish Reporter:

We've taken calls from 3 witnesses to this incredible story.  A guy came out of nowhere, leaped over the baby carriage, flipping the baby out of it, landed and immediately jumped with one hand on the Mom, pushing her out of the way of the incoming Meteor!  He caught the baby one handed, and kicked the carriage all in one move.  The meteor was redirected by the carriage into a building used as a local Gang hideout, killing 5 mid level couriers and lighting a Box Truck of marijuana on fire.  Then he hopped on a city bus to go to school.  The mom was too panicked to give a report, and the police thought every possible witness was stoned because of the fire.  But folks, we believe this is a true story, and could prove it if we knew his name ... this just in, local shopping centers are sold out of the brand of baby carriage.

Well, that went completely over my head, as you can tell.

But... yeah. I'd rather not comment. I appreciate the occasional dark humor, so I can't exactly judge.

Something minor today, compared to, y'know, palm striking cars.

So I'm walking up to work, and we have this little space between the building and the fence proper that's kinda like a mini-garden with wooden logs people can sit down on. Lots of employees come there to relax in between shifts, and they usually gather there and talk at length during lunch break. I'm approaching a group of coworkers to greet them, and one of them, a smoker, is telling a story in a very enthusiastic fashion with lit cigarette in hand. As I approach, she suddenly approaches what appears to be the climax in the story, when her cigarette slips out between her fingers and flies in my direction.

Towards my right eye.

Good old reflexes catch up. I weave my head to the side while my hand catches the flying butt right in the palm, and puts it out. Between the adrenaline rush and the suddenness of my own reaction, there is no pain.

I'd gotten a cigarette burn before. Once, I had a very heated discussion with a smoker, took the lit cigarette and put it out in my upper palm so the attention would be on my words instead of a cancerstick. It hurt, it burned for days, and my skin eventually healed.

When I open up my hand, I see the butt is well and truly squashed. I brush the ash aside to inspect what I figure is a burn wound right in the middle of my palm, which I don't feel yet but probably will in a few.

Nothing. Not even a black spot. Hell, not even a BROWN spot.

My coworkers rush to see if I'm okay, and to dismiss their concerns, I tell them the cinder must have caught in an empty space when I clenched my hand. My colleague profusely apologizes, but I tell her not to worry about it.


Ok, this I got! Its a really sweet magicians trick. Not sure how he does it exactly, but he would put out a lit cig in a T shirt without putting so much as a mark on it. I think it has something to do with generating a vacuum to put out the fire?

i got it the first time, and didn't like it the first time.

perhaps his initial grab was soft-fist style, and when he tensed up at the last instant, the egress of air out of his palm extinguished it and blew away the ash?

Nothing fancy today. I was coming back from a run, and when I took off my sneakers I noticed a smell like something burnt.

Upon inspecting my socks, I discovered I somehow created enough friction to burn a small hole through one of them.

...created enough attrition to burn....

after all, friction is just an attrition of molecules lost due to heat exchange between two formerly stable structures. ^^

Can you believe they still haven't fixed the hole on the ground from my run-in with the minibus?

You're assuming I fell.

I didn't.

That was pretty defensive there.

I guess this thread wasn't as advertised.

Well, I thought of answering with "Ooo, burn! Did you stay up all night thinking that one up?" or making a "Yo mama's so fat" joke, but you know...

*puts fedora on*

...I got too much class for that.

Leave it to a man with half-boiled insults to get his geography wrong.

To be honest, SorO, I don't care what you think.

And frankly, I wouldn't care if no one else believed me, either.

I know my truth, and that's good enough for me.
