I'll admit, I know of a couple of restraunts that have a "we're going to treat you like poo poo, get over it pussy" type gimmick, but I doubt any of them would actually go this far.

it's probably one of those things where if you dress as whoever you're presenting on you get extra points, which is just as sad, because it means he's doing a presentation on sonic the hedgehog.

They had things like that at the local high school, where the kids were supposed to dress like the thing they wanted to be. My niece went as a scientist. Obviously this guy has a different career goal in mind.

From a Fark thread on a homeowner who discovered that the walls of their house were stuffed with mummified animals in ancient newspaper About a decade ago, some friends of mine bought a Coloniel-era house, in the sleepy little town of Delaware City. One night, after they had been living there for a couple of months, the husband was sitting in the den watching TV when the lamp in the room suddenly switched off with a very solid *THUNK* noise. Upon fetching a flashlight and investigating the sound, he discovered the the electrical socket which the lamp had been plugged into, wall plate and all, had fallen out of the wall. The electrical feed wires that the socket was hooked to were only three inches long, and had come out with it. A shine of his flashlight into the hole revealed a second electrical socket, in a second wall about three inches back from what he had assumed was the actual wall. The surface-mounted (fake) electircal socket that the lamp had been plugged into had it's wall plate screwed to it, was firction-fit into the hole, and the two bare wires had been jammed into the slots in the socket underneath to complete the circuit. Plugging the lamp in had overbalanced it until the socket, wires and all just fell out. So, out come the crowbars, and they start tearing the wall down to see what's back there. He decides, he should really check those ancient wires that the fake plate had been plugged into, so he starts hacking away at the ancient plaster wall underneath, and he eventually hits wood. Fine wood. So they go around to the other side of the wall, which is in the living room, and they start taking the wall down there, too. And underneath, they find that at some point, someone who owned the house had just walled over an entire cabinet and shelves. The whole house was lousy with fake walls nailed up overtop the real walls. They eventually uncovered doorways, and even a fireplace, all of which had been just walled-over and forgotten.

Just crappy '70s style paneling. I would maybe have doubted it but I saw it, and it was hilarious.

I hate the meme format, but...ummm...it's happened to me. And it was very embarrassing for about ten seconds before it became hilarious. I can't prove it, so go ahead and consider this STDH if you like.

From the funny pics thread:beato posted:I have a tale about that. A friend of a friend was gonna get married. One evening the young couple were talking about fetishes and he mentioned scat porn and that it was something he'd never seen in reality but found the idea really kinky. Not sure why, but his wife-to-be actually agreed to squat on a glass coffee table and poo poo while he wanked underneath. Apparently this is how it went down... She got on the table did a fart and a waterfall of green diarrhoea followed it, it seeped over the edges and on to him and the carpet, he was so disgusted he vomited and called the wedding off.

The best part is the implication of the guy being like "I'm into scat, but not the nasty kind, c'mon guys." STDH nonwithstanding. (Again I guess another addition to the pile of "Not-just-STDH-but-why-would-you-even-lie-about-that" category)

Others may also, but Aloha for sure does. Edit: POS = Point of Sale, not "piece of poo poo," although Aloha does suck rear end in a top hat as a system in general.

That'd make for thick loving walls that would make rooms noticeably too small. Many older homes have all kinds of built-ins. Some people just drywall over those. I always rage when the people on the house hunting shows casually suggest ripping those out of otherwise pristine craftsman houses.

But isn't it against the merchant policies or whatever with visa and mastercard to require ID, and it's a thing the card companies actually try to enforce? Like they can ask for it but if they don't have it you can't deny them the sale? I remember this being a big issue at my university with the stores on campus, and the school newspaper ran a big thing on it.

Like they can ask for it but if they don't have it you can't deny them the sale? http://www.in.gov/dfi/id.pdf "When you pay for merchandise with a Visa card, MasterCard, or American Express any store that accepts these cards should accept yours too, no questions asked. It's part of the deal that merchants agree to when they become participating members. They must check your signature and the card - electronically or by telephone - to be sure it's valid. Once the answer comes up yes, they can go ahead and charge. They can't ask you for any further identification - not a license plate number, Social Security number, proof of address, phone number or picture ID. Your personal ID isn't needed because Visa, MasterCard, and American Express all guarantee payment on cards that have been properly checked. If the issuer mistakenly authorizes a sale on a bad card, it should make good. MasterCard says that merchants receive instant settlement. You can be asked for ID only if you proffer a card that isn't signed on the back. Then the merchant can ask for identification and require you to sign the card immediately. A merchant can ask for your address when you order by telephone. There it's used to authorize the card, absent a signature.
