Posted by CaramelizedCoffeeSeriously intense, and also an awesome share.
It was in the 80s and all i remember is fire...fire overtaking a village...the night black as sin. My mother leads us through a desert. We're so young, my brother and I. Here we are in the desert on a camel, my mother guiding the camel. Something scary comes out of the bushes, I scream and fall off the Camel. Am I dead. I am hurt, I cry. Guerrilla fighters surround us. My mother is scared witless, will we be shot, to die, our bodies lost in the desert forever. Will they rape her. What will do they to her kids, she wonders, frightened. A sigh, relief, they are the good guys, or atleast they were okay. They let us pass through...but the memory lingers like a nightmare ...

Posted by xXxQueenliciaXxXI have a similar story...but with a peacock...I can't stand peacocks now...
I once got chased down the street by a giant raccoon.


Posted by xXxQueenliciaXxXMy school was a sanctuary for a few different wild animals, but mainly peacocks. As I was leaving class and walking outside I opened the door and failed to see a male peacock in the midst of his mating display (feathers spread and all) on the other side. I literally walked between him and the peahen he was trying to attract. So he got PISSED and proceeded to chase me practically across campus.Posted by ChuckcemPosted by xXxQueenliciaXxXI have a similar story...but with a peacock...I can't stand peacocks now...

Posted by xXxQueenliciaXxXNaw that bird was out for blood because I ruined his game. That bird wanted my throat.Posted by ChuckcemPosted by xXxQueenliciaXxXMy school was a sanctuary for a few different wild animals, but mainly peacocks.

Aside from that they are loud obnoxious birds who get stuck on rooftops a lot.
LOL he just wanted to talk I'm sure.click to expand



Posted by rockyroadicecreamI wasn't a big Matt Smith fan either.
I had a lady and her daughter visiting the states from England. I forgot how it came up (I think she had a hoodie on), but she was a hardcore Dr. Who fan. I liked the show when David Tennant was on and hadn't found the motivation to get into the new season with Matt Smith yet because not David Tennant.
She insisted that I get around to watching the rest because it was still really good and even though she saw David as "her doctor" she liked the new season a lot and thought Matt Smith was doing really well.
I drop the check and when I come back around, she hands me $ 40 and says to use that to go out and buy the new season to watch, then hands me the check and says keep the change, which was also a very generous tip.
Serious "aw" moment for sure.


Posted by ChuckcemI finally did get into the new series, but I think I made it through like 5-6 episodes and never got back around to it. I don't think he did a bad job, just... wasn't the same, you know?Posted by rockyroadicecreamI wasn't a big Matt Smith fan either.

Posted by rockyroadicecreamI actually suggest skipping ahead and watching the eps with the next guy (totally forgot his name). He was less hipster and more grump old man. Actually enjoyable to watch. Series felt like it took a darker tone that Eccleston had in his short stint.Posted by ChuckcemI finally did get into the new series, but I think I made it through like 5-6 episodes and never got back around to it.

Posted by rockyroadicecreamOh yeah I think the new guy has already started. I'm not caught up either, but I did catch a few with the last guy before they made the switch.Posted by ChuckcemYeah, I heard that this guy is done and a new Doc has been cast.

Posted by DreamyboyIntense.
I was 17 years old in highschool. The gym teacher had our class, weight training, move these giant bleachers used for students to sit and watch football games. Each section was at least 900 lbs and we hauled it and carried it to place it on a trailer. We were dumb so we sat at the end of the trailer, getting yelled at to get off. After a few trips, coach forgot we were sitting on it and he clipped a corner, hitting a fence post. The crash sent this 1000 lb metal box flying towards us. We all jumped off but one kid fell on the ground and it was coming down straight towards him. Me and a classmate immediately turned around and put our hands up to stop it for a brief second. It was so heavy for two of us,but it bought that valuable second that kid needed to not get crushed and possibly severed in half. It came down, missing his feet by inches. We were so pumped up and one of my classmates freaked out and said "what the fuck happened to your hand!??!" I looked at it and my right index was almost completely severed off, just hanging by skin from the impact of a metal support beam. That day was so stupid, alot of us could've gotten severely injured or died.
