Who is the smartest person on TIF? Its time to find out! The rules are simple. Answer whatever question you want, and after all 20 questions have been answered (do not answer a question someone else has already answered) each person with points will be able to risk as many points as they wish, and answer the question. If they answer wrong, they lose those points, if they win they add the specified amount of points, just like jeopardy.

I had to go to church with my great grandma, and it was soooooo boring...I did not believe in Jesus or anything like that, and tried to get through it without falling asleep. They always had good lunches after church, but I was surrounded by old ladies who wanted to know if I liked to play with dolls.

His mom packed him egg salad for lunch...

Good for you! :D

I did not know you could even post this kinda stuff until I saw that thread...this is something that happened a while back that I thought was funny...

I ordered "50 martial arts movie collection" and sent it back because I was missing two of the twelve DVD's

You mean bandwidth, don't you. I cry that you use such a big word!

My friend was at school with me last year, and we were heading to math class when he said "I am gonna go to the bathroom." He goes to the bathroom, and I head to math class. After class, he is still in the bathroom. I run to the bathroom and ask him if he is in there. He says he is. I tell him he missed class and he tells me he knows. Next thing I know, I smell a pungent odor. Crap. I ask him if he has diarrhea. He tells me he must of crapped out at least two times as much weight as he is. He even told me he had to flush three times in fear that the toilet might overflow. Next thing I know, the janitor runs in with a roll of toilet paper. He throws it into the stall my friend is in. The Janitor than questions me. "Did you do this?" "How would I give him mudbutt this bad?" The janitor suddenly walks away and says if in the next hour my friend does not come out, he needs to call his mom. Suddenly, I hear such screams of agony, it sounds like he is dying. Suddenly, I hear a large plop. I scream out loud and yell "Dude, holy crap." My friend then yell "Touchdown!" Some kids outside of the bathroom started wretching. I decided to sit in the bathroom to comfort my friend. He said that he was sometimes having a hard time getting the package out to the box, and sometimes it slid out of the window like a piece of soap. He said some of them were as smooth as butter, and some of them were like rubbing sandpaper against his arse. I told him not to die by diarrhea and he said he might. An hour later, the janitor shows up and tells me that he has to call his mom. I tell the janitor he cannot, since he has such bad diarrhea. The janitor says that he has to. My friend then says he can, and suddenly screams. No plop. He then screams "ITS DANGLING!" The janitor starts to laugh. Suddenly, my friend yells "I am gonna have to shake it off!" After a minute of shaking, it plops...on the floor. My friend than yells "I've gotta wipe!" Needless to say, soon enough, he runs out without flushing, his tan pants now stained with a bit of brown. So my friend calls his mom, and then he sits on a chair. SQUISH!!! And for a grand finale, my friend farts, and the fart, going through his crap, smells the whole office up. So after this ordeal, I heard that the janitor flushed the toilet my friend was on, and that it overflowed, the turds floating on a stream of water leading into the hallway. The fifth grader lockers were across from the bathroom, and apparently, the turds smashed against some of their lockers. In conclusion, this is the oddest story ever....

Holy [cabbage] that made me laugh so hard...OMG...I fell from my chair! Thanks for finding that!

congrats! 1400 posts ^^^

Ohs Noes! Who is the mysterious person in this picture??? Heres me a more than a year ago in front of Castillo de San Marco in the now flooded St. Augustine Florida...its at night cuz, we were at a ghost tour... Heres me a month ago, when I had my purple hair...Now I still have purple hair, but you can only see it in the sun, and its only my bangs that have the purple...In this pic, I was getting a sandwich at eleven at night, and was suddenly made to take a picture, so I looked bored because I was supposed to show how excited I was that I was in St. Augustine.

Ya..... stick with Rurouni Kenshin mate. I tried to read the manga, but I did not like the style at all. I'd rather watch Samurai Champloo over anything for Japan stuff...

It was not at all what I was hoping it would be...

Does that explain enough about this not being WWIII?
