    Add my happy @$$ to this, please.

    THE most embarassing thing? Sheesh, there's so many.

    I don't know that it is the most embarassing thing, but it was pretty humiliating. When I was looking at colleges, one of the schools that I considered was the University of Denver. The family decided that it would be smart to check out the school and to do a trip to Colorado (we lived in Florida) while we were at it, so the whole family came out.

    We wound up going to Manitou Springs and doing the Cave of the Winds tour (by the way, it is one of the better cave tours if you're interested in this sort of stuff -- I am). So, we're going on the tour, and when you get to the furthest point in the cave, the tour guide always shuts down the lights to demonstrate to everyone what total darkness looks like.

    My mom keeps commenting that she has to fart, but the tour has like 30 people in it and she's too embarassed to do anything, and she's holding it it. My mother, unfortunately, doesn't ever have a keen sense of what people can or can't hear and tends to whisper rather loudly.

    Anyway, we get to the portion of the tour where the tour guide turns off the lights, and all the sudden THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! my mother just lets one rip.

    The lights go back on, and I've just got this mortified look on my face. So does my dad and sister.

    Needless to say, the other tourists weren't smiling.

    Hey cubs, you no most of uz donts reads all that well heres.[:D]

    Please add me to your give-a-way, I'd be tickled with either. Thanks![8D]

    *EDIT* Didn't READ[:D] (told ya) the part about the most embarrasing thing.

    Don't know if it was the most embarrasing thing or not, but it was at the time.

    Sophmore in high school, just go my first vehicle, a pick-up truck. School let out and it was raining. Was at a 4-way stop and a school bus full of students was across from me. Figured I'd show off and burn some rubber (being wet was the only way for this old truck to do it!)[:D]. Turned on the street and lit them up! Was doing real good till the back end fish-tailed, I lost control, went off the road, through a ditch, through a cyclone fence in somebodys back yard and ended up underneith their swingset, stuck in the mud.[:0][B)]. As horrible as that was, I did it in front of ALL those kids on the bus. And if that wasn't bad enough, the school bus driver stops the bus right in front of me, opens the door to check and see if I was alright. I had pretty much buried my head in the seat, so as no one could see me, but she wouldn't leave until I popped my head up and said I was OK......to the laughter of ALL the kids I was trying to impress. It was embarrasing at the time. I'm sure there have been MANY more moments of embarrasment but I can't recall them right now.

    Great giveaway count me in for either one. As far as a story well spaniels story reminded.
    I was in 7th grade and in science class I had had a bad cold and was sneezing a bunch well I had to sneeze and when I did I let out a huge fart the guy next to me blurted out JESUS CHRIST the teacher started laughing then the whole class did too. To say the least I was red as a beet. Thanks spaniel now I got to relive it all over again.

    Please add me to the list.

    About 30 years ago I was invited to go to squirrel hunting with my brother's in laws at their camp on the Little Missouri River for a week. I was so excited that I forgot and left my shotgun at home. Had to borrow one from my sister in laws uncle. Really embarrassed me, but had a great hunt and a good time anyway.

    In 5th grade I was in a singing group (thats embarrassing to admit right there) , I had my own solo telling people who I was. Yeah, I forgot what to say. DOH.



    Another thing, never make to big of a sign for GAMEDAY when its windy. It just doesn't work like its supposed to. Plus, people keep looking at the sign with a WTH expression on their face.

    So enter my name in.

    You really messed up when you floated the idea of giving away a date with your wife.
    Now anything you decide to give away will pale in comparison.
    Not that I think people are unappreciative of whatever you giveaway, you just set their mhopes so high they can't get over it[:o)]

    Atleast there is one member of the forums who is a winner with the beautiful girl date. That would be you.[:)]

    OK Put my name in the hat.....THANKS...!

    Many years ago...I was experimenting with a pair of home made vibratory brass cleaners. I made them out of 2.5 and 5 gallon buckets. One morning I turned them on before leaving for work. A few hours into my shift I remembered I had left them on! I called the communications center by radio (monitored by several agencies) and asked them to call my wife and have her to turn off the "small" vibrator..

    Throw my name for the 3 in 1 please.
    One night after a party when I was in HS, my GF and I stayed at the end of the lane down the road from my house. It was in the spring and I woke up that morning to the sound of a vehichle. It was my dad on his way to go mushroom hunting. He got close enough to the car to see the blonde hair of my GF and just turned around and left. The hard part was going home after I dropped her off to listen to the red azzing he gave me.

    How to make a long url short:

    1. Go to http://www.tinyurl.com

    or

    2. Enter it like this:
    {url="big long url goes here in quotes"}Text you want to appear goes here{/url}

    use [ and ] rather than { and }
