North of where I'd like to be
Back in the day, I was attending an electronic arts media conference (ISEA). The Web (not the Internet) was a few years old, but the artists and scientists attending the conference knew where this was heading.

I struck up a conversation with two guys about public access to museum and other pictorial collections, and they said that they were starting a company that would be a kind of portal to multimedia. I was impressed, and told that they were really on to something. "But", I added smugly, "you'd have more credibility if you named your company something other than (whited text) 'Yahoo".

Your turn, fess up.
 
i told my girlfriend i was smoking in her room just to piss her off even though i didnt....she dumped me...ud understand if you knew what i was smoking...ermm
 
That would have to be "I'm too busy" (when I was just being lazy) to an acquaintance, who knew I was into film, wanted me to hang out at a West Hollywood cafe with he and his friend (who we'll call "Mr. X") who had just completed his first feature. Needless to say 12 years later, Mr. X has three films in the US Box Office 150 and his first feature is still in the IMDb top 20 voted by users.
 
"Make me..." I did...

"and if I don't..." I didnt and lost job...

"Yes I am sure it is turned off..." as I am poking metal objects into it...was not turned off.

"I bet you I can jump across that..." third broken ankle...
 
1975: "I swear... to obey the President and the officers appointed over me..."

!979: "I swear... to obey the President and the officers appointed over me..."

1981: "I swear... to obey the President and the officers appointed over me..."

1987: "I swear... to obey the President and the officers appointed over me..."

1991: "I swear... to obey the President and the officers appointed over me..."

1995: "I swear... to obey the President and the officers appointed over me..."
 
"I know a shortcut...."

During our hour trek in -20 C weather (-4 F), we had crossed 3 bridges and headed in a SE direction rather than S like I had thought. Then we had to walk another hour west, and then 30 minutes north to go home. If we had taken the normal road, it would have taken 30 minutes total.

We were 14 years old. :p
 
"Don't worry, the chances that your arm will be chopped off are slim to none."

Just kidding.
