Before I go all failboat and forget...

Weekly Entertainment!

And I'd like to remind people that they can also use this post if they're, you know, someplace they can't be on AIM but still want to chat. Link it on an OOC for communication or ask for drabbles or just talk.

But the question:

What's the goofiest thing you've done RP or RL because of role playing?

...I admit to having FAR too many green items because of the broomboy. Not to mention the squealing over the new book that's probably going to have the roommate killing me in my sleep this week.

I used to do LARP. World of Darkness stuff (you know, vamps and werewolves) and once played a were-shark.

My costume? A dive skin.

What?

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

...were you a were-landshark?

[crazypilotman.livejournal.com]

Nope! Were-sharks can go human just like their wolf counterparts can. They just prefer not to because human skin is so fragile and don't get the need for clothes really.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

....that's kinda cool.

[thebuganddoggy.livejournal.com]

Oh I totally didn't play WOD Werewolves. As myself. On a Christian school campus. Nope.


And omg WERESHARK. This makes me think of how hilarious a were dolphin would be. For whatever reason...

[crazypilotman.livejournal.com]

Heee! We did a bit of LARP on a Christian college once. People protested and that was the end of that location.

prudes.

For my ... 17th birthday party, I made it a murder mystery party. Somehow, this involved me slipping down the stairs in my big, poofy skirt (it was 50s themed), falling out the kitchen window into some shrubberies, and getting locked in the basement. Thankfully, I was the one who had the camera, so there are no photos of this.

For my 18th? I blatantly stole from FH and as a result? Voldemort punched Death in the nose while Hermione Granger yelled for her death to be avenged. I was Death. That year? Peter Petigrew went flying down the stairs. I was not Peter.

ETA: Oh, and of course there's the infamous story of coconut girl shouting to a bus full of scholars who included my crush "Well, of course Thom and Roger were an item. Everyone knows sex magic is the best way to bring back the dead."

...the story behind why she is coconut girl is also tied to FH. She threw a coconut at my head, forcing me to type "brb flying coconuts" into the chat room I was in at the time. Some people still have that as their away message.

[montecito-east.livejournal.com]

You know, I've seen the "brb flying coconuts" line and wondered what the heck it came from. Thanks for enlightening me!

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"...You threw a coconut at my head..." "They were on sale at Superior." "You. Threw. A. Coconut. At. My. Head." "They were on sale!"

Ah the joys of freshmen dorms.

(Dare I ask where that line is still cropping up two years later?)

[montecito-east.livejournal.com]

Bridgey's away message is "Brb, I got hit by a fucking coconut."

And actually, during my sophomore year of college, I had this roommate who thought she could cook. She couldn't. One night, I was on IRC giving a play-by-play as she tried to defrost a whole frozen chicken by boiling it.

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Ah yes. That's what I was thinking of :)

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

...you know, all I can do is giggle and imagine this thing (http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/nbc_the_more_you_know.jpg).

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

...that's kind of beautiful. The coconut girl definitely wins something.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

Moved in with fellow FHers.

Goofiest thing EVER.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Lived on a Millimod's couch for a year.

*raises hand*

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

HEY!

You love us :D

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

Maaaaaybe.

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

Clearly you need more buttery nipples.

*fingerwiggles*

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

No. No I do not.

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

The majority of my wardrobe has ended up pink & green since I started playing Veronica three years ago...

[weetuskenraider]

I flew across the country to be drunk in a room with four other FHers this weekend.

This is far from the first time I've done this.

'nuff said, I think.

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

AND YOU SHARED NIPPLES WITH US!

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

And I drove for three hours each way just to join you guys for dinner.

It was fun.

[atreideslioness]

I convinced my boss to pay for me to fly out and attend a con out-of-state, because I have no willpower and FHers told me to do it.

This becomes more impressive when you realize I have not been to any con in over ten years, because I was sick of fandoms as a whole before I fell into this game.

[needsaparrot]

I... oh man, where do I start?

Once More With Feeling singalong at BuffyCon with everyone in wes_visions_rpg singing the part of their RP character(s).

I once played an RPS parody version of Willow-mun.

*eyes weetiny Lego Bridgey and Xander, and action figure Bridgey and Xander, and My Little Bridgey and Xander and the rest of SPD and Alanna and Katchoo ponies*

*eyes FH scarf courtesy the aforementioned Willow-mun*

*eyes stuffed froggie and giraffe on pillow*

*eyes various cafepress shops of a highly dubious nature (the last of which isn't mine)*

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

...Alanna!pony just fell off of her spot on my shelf. *blinks a lot* *backs away from you*

[thankgoditsme.livejournal.com]

Flew to the other side of the planet to hang out with FHers for a couple of months.

[raspberryturk]

Some of them weren't even axe murderers!

[thankgoditsme.livejournal.com]

Some were, but they were terribly polite axe murderers.

[raspberryturk]

Some were just ninjas. I hear there are plenty of ninjas in Canada. Who knew?

[thankgoditsme.livejournal.com]

Not many people know, because they wear white in Canada instead of black to blend in with all that snow. Plus, y'know, stealthy ninjas.

[raspberryturk]

Stealthy, stealthy ninjas. *solemn nod*

[thankgoditsme.livejournal.com]

I don't think I know of an unstealthy ninja though.

[raspberryturk]

I imagine they would have to be so very unstealthy, that they would cross over the threshold back into stealthy territory all over again, and the world would be none the wiser about the unstealthy ninja's downfall from stealth. Perhaps they were so unstealthy that nobody suspected they were ninja in the first place, thus allowing them to blend seamlessly into society, the perfect guise for their sneaky ninja ways.

[thankgoditsme.livejournal.com]

This sounds like an excellent plan for a story about a ninja's rise and fall.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

*raises hand*

ANOTHER one who flew half way across the world to hang out with FH-ers.

... And I'm sure I've done other goofy things, but hell if I can remember what they are right now.

[thankgoditsme.livejournal.com]

Cool as it was, I think it'll be a while before I deal with a 19 hour flight again! *commiserates about international travel with you*

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Wow, though my little 8 hour flight now seems reaaaally wee in comparison. Ew, 19 hours! :s

[thankgoditsme.livejournal.com]

I went via Taiwan and had a 6 hour layover on top of the 19 because it was $500 cheaper. Sometimes being on an island in the South Pacific sucks, man!

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Teleportation. Where is our teleportation, damn it!

[thankgoditsme.livejournal.com]

Seriously! How hard is it to figure out how to move something from one spot to another in the blink of an eye? Geez.

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Oh, right, I also might've done some bright bright hair colourings a'la Mac in my time.

The purple looked awesome. Seriously.
