Thing #69: Make a scene in a public place

Second 'accident' in a few days, another thing completed. I was in a meeting when we had a break. I walked to the podium and started playing the wireless microphone. I switched it on to see if it works and said "It's great when things just work". Well it did work indeed. In fact it worked so well they listened to my short speech in the room next door. I just had not realised that the two rooms were really one big room split in two and that the microphone was actually for use when the two half rooms were joined! Well.. how would I know? No.. seriously!

Thing #10: Have an embarassing moment

Based on true events: A friend of mine (we will call her M. K. to maintain her anonymity) managed to complete three Things in one go, when it was revealed that she was to be blamed for the funny smells in the classroom and not the poor student sharing the desk with her. In doing so, she had an embarrassing moment, she completed the fart and burp Thing and also blamed someone else for it. A truly remarkable achievement!

If you have any great stories to share, then please do drop me a line or leave a comment!

Thing #15: Fart and Burp

PS: and in case you are wondering no it wasn't me who posted this. Still as completing this Thing by finding something so relevant is far more difficult than actually farting and burping, I think I deserve to claim this Thing!

Thing #42: April Fool Someone

Happy... April Fool's Day! (You know who you are!)

Thing #42 completed - no no for real!

Thing #96: Glue coins to the floor

I went to a house the other day and outside, on the steps, there were two coins. I could not be bothered to pick them up. So, said to a friend who was near by: "It's your lucky day, 15p!" She tried to pick them up, only to find out they were glued! Now for this thing I was supposed to glue the coins myself, but still by indirectly tricking someone, I accidentaly managed to complete this Thing!

Thing #88: I did not do it

From Quality Assurance Department:

Dear Reader,

We would like to bring to your attention that on Thursday, 10 May 2007 a video clip was posted from YouTube. That very same video clip had been posted before on Saturday, 6 January 2007. We strive to provide quality posts and you, the reader, should demand better service. Posting the same clip twice and receiving no complains can be interpreted as:

1. you don't pay any attention to what is posted
2. you don't actually visit the site, hence no way to pay attention
3. you have the memory of a goldfish

Of course, one could argue that this was my fault as I forgot that I had posted the clip and then went on and posted it again. In such case, I have to assume responsibility for the deterioration of the posting quality. Of course, this is not an option and I will blame it on you who did not notice it and claim that Thing #88 is now completed.

Thing #27: Done!

I may have been very unlucky with the server crashing and losing all my XP but... I have been very lucky with this one. A friend of mine stayed over at my place yesterday and before going to sleep we agree to get up around 8. In the morning, we were about to leave the house when he said: do you know that the clock in the room is one hour slow?!? I woke up at 7 thinking it was actually 8! That made my day as it meant thing #27: turn back time was now officially completed!

Thing #2: Done!

I was about to exit the local mall this afternoon when I passed by an escalator! A couple was just about to complete their journey of about 30 steps and no one else was in sight, hence no one else would interfere with my attempt (not to mention that I would not be humiliated if I was to fail). This was my moment of glory!

Full of confidence (this happens when you don't really think what you are about to do) I run down the escalator. It was rather confusing when I took the first two-three steps, but once I got the coordination right it was a piece of cake. It was actually much easier than walking down an escalator that was out of order a couple of weeks ago, which made me filly dizzy. You know.. it feels as if the stairs are moving, but they are not!

Now, for those who will say that running down the escalator is easy I have only this to reply: it took me 45 minutes to get my PC's Bluetooth to work so that I could transfer the photograph I took as evidence! And when I managed that, it failed to transfer it after all, so I had to use the memory card itself. So I don't want to hear or see escalators for some time OK?
