Years ago there was a work-related dinner at this restaurant on a boat that used to be in Newport Beach (the Princess Louise?). The banquet room was at the bottom of the stairs. The boat shifted a little in the water as I walked down the stairs and I made my grand entrance by falling into the room.

One of my clients has a 6 foot tall painted statue of an Indian Chief in their entryway. EVERY time I open the door, I get a start. I will never get used to him being there.

I jumped thinking there was a bug crawling across my couch. I was sitting legs straight out and laptop on lap. Turns out it wasn't a bug, but my toe wiggling over the top of the screen.

when I lived with The Old People, it was out in the middle of no where. I was watching Arachniphobia...in the dark. It was at the point where the spiders were jumping out of everywhere. Something crawled across the back of my arm. I don't think I have ever screamed that loud while watching a movie.

I got to witness this one Madzer wouldn't walk anywhere close to her after the fall. Nothing more embarassing to a tweener than mom doing prat falls in public.

Of course, none of us warned her that she was about to fall over backwards because we couldn't believe she didn't see the HUGE stone bench that had been right in front of her eyes.

But, that's why we love katiesue. She always makes us look good

Very embarassing.

Once, I went to take a drink of soda and forgot I had a straw in it and stuck it up my nose. At least I was alone.....

I've done the same thing at the window, truth be told.

Why is it called Pepper Ghost?

I love the internet: Pepper's ghost

Okay, so have any of you ever been snorkeling, and tried to pet a fish?
... I still have the scar to prove it.


One time, when I was leaving work (at McCarran Airport in Vegas), I was driving up Tropicana (goes across the end of the runway in a very darkish stretch). Anyway, my a/c didn't work in that car, so I always drove around with the driver (runway) side window open. I hear this sound coming at me, and it sounded for all the world like a Mac truck trying to run me down. I couldn't see a thing in my rear view, but I could hear it coming closer, and at one point it sounded practically on top of me - so much so that I actually swerved!

... And it was about then that the Cessna finally passed over me and into view on the runway.
