oops :unamused:

Excellent thread, B.

I agree, “oops” is an interesting social phenomena and should make for a great discussion piece.

Thank you D, for being there for me. I was visualizing whirled peas and they got stuck in my throat. The denial is mind boggling, you know.

So, detrop, now that I have your attention, what was your favorite childhood memory? Mine was sailing on the Chesapeake Bay. Don’t leave me here hanging or I will feel so, you know,

hung.

Oops,
those are truly famous last words.

I am actually thinking of putting oops on my
gravestone.

Well, I’d like to share a couple if you don’t mind.

Living in West Germany before the Wall came down, when I was six, for four months. I visted many historic places throughout Europe in general while there, and several memories are still very vivid.

And probably the greatest fun I ever had was when I was seventeen, if I remember the age correctly. Mid-teens, anyway. I skipped work to go out on the lake in my friend’s dad’s ski-boat. The three of us, Kelly, Zonk, and I, tripped acid and were planning on skiing. Eventually we didn’t even use the skis and ended up taking turns being pulled behind the boat at speeds around fifteen miles and hour, while sort of ‘porpoising’ up and down in the water.

I remember laughing so wonderfully that I thought I was going to drown. We had the best fun that afternoon.

But check this out. Kelly ended up leaving the gear shift in ‘drive’ while turning the engine off at one point to chill and smoke a jay. After we were done and ready to split, he tried to turn on the engine to no avail.

Shit, we had that boat stripped down to the fucking wires trying to figure out what was wrong and why it didn’t start.

Turns out the thing wouldn’t start unless it was in neutral. But neither did Zonk or myself known it was in drive, so its Kelly’s fault entirely.

But that day…I could live that day over and over again for eternity.

Nice. See, both of our best memories were on a boat. :smiley: There is just something about the water…

Peter,

I would do the gravestone “oops” too, but I am too claustrophobic for the casket thing. I may be doing the “oops” in the crematorium only.

And my other childhood memory has to be with forts. I was heavily into forts and treehouses. And… my friend’s dad let us shoot his gun in his basement at a beercan on a string. I was good at it. Honestly, I should be dead by now. But that was so much fun. I didn’t think of the ricochet-injury aspect until years later. Ah, the immortal deeds of a child. :unamused:

Detrop,

Please expound on my denial. I want to know your thoughts, really. Denial over my issues? Hardly.

You didn’t get it? It was a joke.

You started a thread with ‘nahh.’ You were denying something, you were refusing to say something. You stopped and/or denied what you were going to do.

Get it?

Oh nevermind.

Ooh-look - an improv thread. When do the mime-artistes turn up…?

No, I didn’t get the joke, detrop, and (because of my weakened emotional state) I assumed you would be analyzing me. I was looking forward to it. Actually, I had written a lengthy dissertation over my momentary mental state and decided that no one here needed to read it so I deleted it and put down the dots instead. I do have lapses of clarity. I shall entitle this thread, “Let’s Talk About What We Shoudn’t” or “A Day in the Life of Detrop.”

Your turn.
