gogo wrote: » What’s your red chair story, that one horrendous, incredulous story you can tell about yourself: Mine, is when I was about 15 and travelled to another school to see some Shakespeare play on a school trip, the play was on late and was a special ‘school’ showing. I went to a convent and I was 100% attending for the boys and not the Shakespeare. We got chatting to some lads before the play started and they were going outside for a smoke, me and the girls of course tagged along.. we snuck outside a side door in the hall and the lad in front of me stumbled, it was dark out, I just heard him say ‘oh Jesus’ when I stepped out ..... It was then I proceeded to fall down an open man hole. All the way down an open man hole, I don’t know how many feet but I was in well over my head. I dislocated my two ankles on the way down as there spindly selves tried to stop my fall by shoving off the wall. Both ankles dislocated and then broke when they tried to stand me up on them when they pulled me out. To make matters worse, when they they brought me back into the hall, screaming with two dangling feet, they sat me in front of the audience and took off my shoes for the world to see my big toe sticking out a hole in my sock, I don’t know which was worse to this day, two broken ankles, or roaring crying in front of a couple of hundred people and my big toe on show to the world and thinking how my mother would have been so disappointed knowing I had a hole in my sock and all those people knowing it. I also had to explain to her the fact that I didn’t smoke .. but followed a group of lads outside like the 15 year old tramp that I was.. What’s yours?

Gregor Samsa wrote: » I was scuba diving with my wife in a bay in Co. Clare. Just a shore dive. She’s a very experienced instructor, and I was a nervous novice. There’s a local dolphin, Dusty, that often follows divers or boats. We were down at 15 metres, and Dusty came along. I’d swam with her before, but dolphins are bloody big, very agile yokes, and it spooked me a bit, down at that depth in the murky water. She suddenly disappeared from view. I turned sharply to see if she was behind me, and as I did my first struck her right in the eye. It was quite a thump. I literally put up my hands and said “I’m sooooo sorry!” with my regulator in my mouth. Last year I was kayaking in the very same bay. She came along side me, and followed me all the way over to some sea caves I wanted to explore. She spent about an hour with me, just swimming around my kayak, over to, in, and back from the caves. So I assume all is forgiven.

As they approached me for directions and leaflets their faces took on a look of horror. As it was the late 80's my shiny shorts were very shiny and short and the inner lining of them wasn't great. Yep, my cock and balls were completely hanging out as I was shouting directions at them and waving my arms about. As if the poor fookers hadn't been through enough in life,

I lost my friend and was then mugged by the guys that sold us the drugs.They took my wallet but never hurt me.I was too high to look for the police. After a few hours of walking around this Strange town tripping looking for my friend I saw the guys that mugged me coming the other way and as I passed them I said hello and they smiled back.:)....they knew I had no money and knew I was tripping.

Sardonicat wrote: » I have some questions. Why did you buy the acid if you thought it was fake? Did the guys throw it in as a freebie in the hope they could mug you later? And if you thought it was fake what did you hope to gain from taking it? Did you find your friend? Had he been mugged too? Lastly, are you always this laid back in the face of adversity?

Now Gunners isn't a very big place but it was jammed packed with all sorts of people.And I remember there was this Aussie with a huge knife charging the cops and he didn't last long. How myself and a few friends made it out is beyond me,but I think 11 people died during that and scores were injured inside and out of Gunner's.That also was the last time I attended Sturgis. Apologies if that was too dark for the red chair,but there ya go.
