The other day I was walking down the street in Hogsmeade wearing my invisibility cloak. I was planning on going to the Three Broomsticks for some butterbeer, but all of a sudden I heard some people talking about the half blood prince! If it wasn't for my quick use of "muffliato" on myself, I would have had to do the "avada kedavra" on myself! :eek:

:D ;)

Haha, that's pretty good. I wonder if it's just I, but everytime I read "avada kedavra" I think "abra cadabra.":eek:
 
HEre's my latest adventure on the news...

Me: So... Public... You wanna know what happens at the end of the new Harry Potter book?

PB: No.

Me: Well, THEY ALL DIE!

PB: *EVERYONE KILLS THEMSELVES."

Me: Ah. I'm just kidding. So, who wants to go get some coffee?

I wouldn't be surprised if people would kill themselves over this stupid crap.

I don't think this would've qualified for a Darwin award. He didn't do anything stupid while thinking he'd be safe (i.e. russian roulette with a non-barrel gun).

Anyway, pretty sad... even for a bad joke. :rolleyes:

Did someone say "onion"?
---

SHREK: For your information, there's a lot more to ogres than people think.

DONKEY: Example?

SHREK: Example? Okay, um, ogres are like onions.

DONKEY: [Sniffs] They stink?

SHREK: Yes. No!

DONKEY: They make you cry?

SHREK: No!

DONKEY: You leave them out in the sun, they get all brown, start sprouting' little white hairs.

SHREK: No! Layers! Onions have layers! Ogres have layers! Onions have layers.
You get it? We both have layers. [Sighs]

DONKEY: Oh, you both have layers. Oh. [Sniffs] You know, not everybody likes onions. Cake! Everybody loves cakes! Cakes have layers.

SHREK: I don't care... what everyone likes. Ogres are not like cakes.

DONKEY: You know what else everybody likes? Parfaits. Have you ever met a person, you say, "Let's get some parfait," they say, "Hell no, I don't like no parfait"? Parfaits are delicious.

SHREK: No! You dense, irritating, miniature beast of burden! Ogres are like onions! End of story. Bye-bye. See ya later.

Well, some people do dress up with star wars costumes, so naturally I assumed that story could've been true.

Funny, at the Camp Apple workshop, there were quite a few kids and their accompanying mothers (dunno why there were no fathers). I also saw quite a few HP books-- all being read by the parents who were doggedly ignoring the sleeve-pulling and whining of their kids. :D

LOL, even with the current topic, I actually read that as "Hewlett-Packard books". :D

Eewwwwwwww. Nerds.:D

A bit OT, but as for those Darwin Awards, I dunno pretty hard to beat the guy who strapped missile rockets to his car and slammed into a cliff side. He thought he was safe because he was in the desert. :rolleyes:

Thank you.

As soon as I saw the guy's photo on the link, I knew the thing was a joke. Not only does he write a regular humor column for Newsweek, but he also appears regularly on "90-Second Pop" for CNN.
 
Well maybe if the article were a little funnier we wouldn't have had this confusion. It was clearly a joke, but reading it down didn't exactly have me laughing out loud.

Besides, I think there were several of us considering suicide when were first heard the Tiger "spoilers," you know dashboard, spotlight..... ;)

Lol... I love threads like these.

Remember those 'tests' they gave in school where they warn you to read the instructions very carefully? ;)

Yea i do remember them I always did horrible cause I never read the directions, just assumed I knew what was asked, and always biffed the simpliest questions.
 
Humorous, but definitely not funny. Sadly there are people out there who are that extreme, but really, I had to wonder about the fact that he killed himself over the spoiler he heard, but why hadn't he bought the book at the midnight released and have read it in the first few hours?

Oh, and about the Star Wars people: I don't think that fans dress up as Obi Wan and go into grocery stores with light sabers while waving the automatic door open like they have the force. :rolleyes:

Be careful - we are talking about Star Wars fans here! They never cease to amaze me - I once ran across one who wore a Jedi hair braid thingy at work all the time and thought nothing of it. Another one had memorized the films in so much detail that he could recite Greedo's lines, both translated and native. :eek:

And this is but one example of many.... :cool:

And of course not all Star Wars fans are like this - heck, I'd consider myself a Star Wars fan, but the extreme ones, in my opinion, can get very extreme. ;)
