Orlando, Lisa.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Uh, he's deaf, and he turns his hearing aid off while he works sometimes.
It's like having built-in noise canceling headphones.

Boss revealed he used to be into Megadeth, and I revealed I used to teach martial arts. I can't believe they were more agape at me! Martial arts are totally normal. And someone has to teach them. Even me someone.
Yeah,but being into Megadeath is not an accomplishment. It may be a plus or minus depending upon how you feel about Megadeth,but either way - no skill involved. To teach martial arts, you have to be good at them. So much more awe inspiring. And martial arts are totally cool. So you are super-competent at something cool. That totally is going to inspire more attention than being into anything. If your boss had been a member of Megadeth, that might have competed.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
One of my mother's friends had a really annoying husband. She started losing her hearing in her 60s. She said having a hearing aid was the best thing ever because "I can just turn Prentiss off."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, right--that wasn't awe. It was surprise. And Megadeth (along with implied hairstyle) for a Delhi native is rarer than a martial arts instruction. The context makes the difference, I think, and I didn't give it.

msbelle, that link was a trip and a half. I think I guffawed several times. A couple of times, I kind of thought it was sad (see: person eating cheese. I can't say shit about that), so I wish they hadn't been included in the list.
my favorites:
#9 (and I spent more time than I'd like to admit envisioning how that came to pass)
#10 - she needs a Black person lecture. For real.
#16 - WTF
#22 - Wow.
#24 - I have sandal tan too!
#27 - I have witnessed this!
#28 - NIGHTMARE
#30 - Rock the fuck on! Bless.
#35 - FAIL
#39 - This happens way more than we would like to admit.

Great Barrier Reef. Snorkeled for about 4 hours.Awesome! Inadequate words.
Opted against diving because it was so much fuss and I was having depth issues( they went away but I would've seen less reef.)
I am burnt, (despite a wetsuit) fried and a happy camper. I shudder to think of the shots of me in the wetsuit... Well actually, I don't care.
One more day. May just go do morning laps in the lagoon.
FRUITBAT!!!

Also, my youngest nephew has no future in the navy; he was horribly seasick( seas were rough.) He rallied a bit, but it was kinda no fun for the poor kiddo.
