Abort!!! (3)Who knew my fails would give people such a laugh...
This one needs a scene set... So :
I used to ride a push bike quite a lot and one of the best things about it was zooming down hills... You can see where I am going with the picture now huh?
So one day I am on my mountain bike and I start to coast at a high speed down from the top of this hill. It was always a really cool ride because at the bottom is a dip which slows you down by going up another smaller sharp hill after the dip. Near the top as I start coasting and as I build up speed, but near where the large tree in the photo is, a dog came from the right side (My left going down) and went for my feet/wheel. I swerve to my right to avoid the dog and my attention locks on the that... However. On the other side of the road, going up the hill is a BUS.
EJECT! (This is actually an apt word for what happens next)
I miss the front of the bus by about a couple of feet (avoiding death) but now I have the problem of the curb... My wheel hits the curb and I get thrown forward, seriously it is like a cartoon where suddenly there is no longer a bike under me. I fly a good distance, so fast that when I hit the patch of grass, I slide and end up so far away from the road I was actually behind where the picture was taken from.
Injury count = Zero, well a sore ass from skidding so far, rolled a 20 on my luck and lived through it. My bike was totalled. The front wheel collapsed in on itself and the frame actually bent. I also may have scared the bus driver almost to death as well but he didn't even stop. LOL
It is true that things slow down in that moment, the bus part went past quick but as I flew off the bike, I had time to think, "Wow I'm dead"...
Abort!!! (2)In my teenage years, I spend sometimes acting as babysitter to a little cousin of mine. Not a rougher, gruffer little boy you would ever meet and every game he ever wanted to play was Army or Cops & Robbers, so on. One day we are playing and I am chasing him, he rounds the house and runs down the lane to the back yard. I was giving him a little space to hide so I jog around the house and up the lane... However. Unfortunately my cousin had been watching Hanna-Barbera cartoons and had hatched his own plan for this game. Without me knowing he had gone over to my uncles woodpile and got a nice length of wood. I come jogging up the lane, all ready to go looking for him in the back yard and as I come up to the corner, he nails me in the CHIN!!! with the wooden plank... You know how painful it is to run into someone swinging a plank, with your face??? So as I am laying on the ground I am so glad he ran away and hid, although him laughing as he ran off did nothing for me... It took me a long time to get up. I could have really used and Eject on that day...
Abort!!!So, have you ever had a bright idea which has ended up with a major scramble for the eject lever?
I'll give you one of my many examples.
I decide it would be an excellent idea to take a date to see "I Know What You Did Last Summer" in the cinema. In my mind I had the notion that my date would be scared by the horror movie and would lead to the ole 'Grab my hand' jump moments and nothing like a good scare to progress a date LOL THIS DID NOT WORK At one point she did take my hand and things were good... Until a shock moment a few moments later which sent her trying to grab my hand on my leg and ending up punching me in a rather private area... EJECT... ABORT For the love of god ABORT!!! Over fifteen years on and I still remember the pain... I don't take dates to horror movies anymore...
Pee Song...Am I some mental case or do other people have a Pee Song???
Set the scene... You are really needing to take a pee and you can't. Maybe you are doing something that you need to finish or you are making your way and it is taking a long time... So, do you have a tune or song you have in your head while you hold on???
I noticed that mine is the theme to the cartoon Cities of Gold and I really don't know why... I haven't seen that cartoon since I was a kid but the theme is clear as a bell and I realised that it was my need to "Pee Song".

The FollowingSo I was wondering, did anyone else watch Kevin Bacon in The Following?
I think Joe was a truly scary villain because he was so logical and planned so far ahead through the season. But it made things so much more interesting as he unravelled.
I have to say I really enjoyed it right through to the finale.
I was really shocked when Agent Parker died. I really was expecting more on her cult past to be developed. And Jacobs death had me face palm because I had a gut feeling what Emma would do all along.
It is one show I think all the actors were perfect for their roles in the show. I think some of the stand out performances in the show were from - James Purefoy - Adan Canto and Valorie Curry.
I am really looking forward to a second season. I haven't heard about it being cancelled so with any luck we will see some more.
