I also didn't want to sig it because it is potentially harmful to Jeans.
Guido Sarducci:
Lying on my stomach in a hide in Thailand watching a cobra crawl down the trail between me and my spotter.
Swordfish:
Never play drinking Monopoly with cheap Estonian vodka.
ruyi:
A couple things come to mind.
Facts:
1) The phone number of a family friend I've known since childhood. Of course, it's pretty much useless now since she's at college and has a cell phone.
2) Condoms pre-lubricated with spermicide are bad! They can cause UTIs in ladies, they are not any more effective at preventing pregnancy than regular condoms, and they have a short shelf-life to boot. Apply spermicide separately instead.
3) eight hundred five eight eight, two three hundred, empire! today
4) Dead ants emit oleic acid; this signal is detected by other ants who then carry the dead away. If live ants are coated with oleic acid they will be picked up and carried away by ther ants again and again until they clean the chemical off of them. (And ants clean themselves very often and very meticulously! They are in fact more or less sterile and are only as dirty as whatever they just walked in.)
5) The giraffe has 7 neck vertebrae, like all mammals - they are just longer. Its closest relative is the Okapi.
Events:
1) My first piano recital. It was put on by my piano teacher and her son, who taught violin. I was first asked to go on the stage to play the pitch A so a kid's violin could be tuned. I didn't realize this was what he meant for me to do, so I followed by playing my two pieces. Afterwards I stood up to face the audience and there was zero response. Like, I distinctly remember all the expressionless faces. I was not embarrassed at the time, but it was probably the shame of subsequent recollections that's made it stick in my mind.
2) Running down the sidewalk when I was around 5 or 6 after having ingested a large quantity of grape juice. I could hear the juice glurping from inside me like the sound made by shaking a plastic bottle of liquid and was really startled. I stopped and started several times before realizing what it was.
3) My mom telling me she would leave me and my brother. I was around 3, so my brother was maybe 6. It was prompted by some bickering between us children, I think. I distinctly remember her going to the porch wearing her heavy coat and starting to put on her winter boots. When I asked here where she would go, she said she didn't care, and that she was probably allowed to stay at McDonald's. I promised not to fight with my brother and she ended up staying. It was relatively traumatic at the time but now it's a reminder that my mom is human too and has her moments of weakness. When I look back on it I feel sad for her more than anything.
4) My first interview for a gifted and talented private elementary school. When they asked me what school I went to, my answer was Walt Disney World. (It was actually Walt Disney Magnet School.) I think that's why I didn't get in to that one.
5) My earliest memory would be waking up lying on a bed and watching someone's back. I think it was my dad, wearing a blue and white striped shirt. I think I have quite a few memories from early childhood, actually? I remember the sensation of my mom carrying me in her arms when I was a toddler. It felt really comforting, to feel my whole body's weight supported by her, and to be able to hang my head back to watch the ceiling as she paced around. Another one is falling asleep in my high chair.
