Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Comment preview: College was nothing but sitcom moments. For real. The very beginning of my senior year of college, my housemates and I were hosting an enormous party. Huge. Naturally, we had a bar in the basement. Naturally, we were selling to under-aged folk. Well, someo ....
Comment preview: Not exactly when I was a teen, but I was about 20. I still had the mind of an irresponsible teenager though. I was on welfare for a year because I didn't want to work some dumb job for a living. I dropped out of school a year earlier because I was depr ....
Comment preview: My late grandpa was shellshocked from Vietnam, and usually spent his 4th of July hiding in the basement wishing he wasn't a recovering alcoholic so he could properly drink himself to sleep. He was a grumpy old man, and never begrudged anyone their 4th of J ....
Comment preview: My atheist friends, allies, *brethren*. Tonight, we go into battle, but not with a sword, nor a gun. Tonight we battle for human dignity, for self respect, for the skin on our body and our brothers. For the skin on our penis. I hold in my hand the foreski ....
Comment preview: >The point about radiation is that, unless you got severe radiation poisoning, it doesn't kill you right away. However, this makes it very hard to quantify the damage. And there aren't a million different chemicals that are undetectable to humans that h ....
Comment preview: The problem with horror games is that the players know that there's going to be something horrific. Then there's no shock, and their ability to prepare themselves means there's little sense of dread that could replace it. This is especially true in CoC, wh ....
Comment preview: When I was in third grade, I was walking home to my grandparents farm. As I passed the last street of houses before the farmland began, an old woman leaned out of her house and shouted something like "run home, boy! The blues clues!" I thought she was cra ....
Comment preview: I grew up in an Asian family as well, and for me personally I don't think I could ever leave my mom or dad like that, especially if they were to ask. A single mom raising you for years, sacrificing everything she has to raise you properly, and then having ....
Comment preview: Satellites. If you live anywhere where they might already have satellites on you, then it's a no go from the start. Better ditch the cell phone. Quick way to see where you were going (or where you are). You have to get supplies, have enough food/water fo ....
Comment preview: I'm not sure about it being realistic or following logic: ** spoilers below, obviously ** * The mother has the chance to grab her daughter and force her into the safest room in the house (the one with all the guns) where her son already is, but instead jus ....
Comment preview: This particular breed of flag (Fuckus Yess-Murica, or FYM) is actually a very fragile little guy, and the speed of growth depends on a few factors. **1. Beer supply:** All major flag species (Germany, Australia, UK) require a steady diet of beer. While ....
Comment preview: I wish mental illness, emotional disturbances and the like functioned like they did in the movie in actual reality. Stand up to them, shout a bit, and then they go hide in the basement and you feed them worms every now and then to keep them satisfied. Then ....
Comment preview: Back in 2007 i happened to be in Pakistan visiting some family. I had been there for two weeks and every thing seemed fine. One night there is *a lot* of noise coming from outside, i was confused, no idea what is was but my cousin told me it was an interna ....

Comment preview: My ex was pretty violent. I lived with him for two years and it was pretty scary. He would punch walls and the like. Then one day, he was pissed off and getting in that mood, so I decided to go hide in the basement. His tenant told him where I was because ....

Comment preview: Crap, do I have to be a teacher to participate? Screw it, you get to hear about my classmates: * when I was in 10th grade, there was a student in my class who was just...off. Everyone knew it. He had the crazy eyes. You looked at him and it felt like you w ....
Comment preview: A few weeks after I turned 21 I was at a friends house party. Something like 50 people there, beer pong, other drinking games, typical party. The night progresses, everyone's getting drunker, and of course, louder. Obviously the cops were called. Now this ....
Comment preview: It's going to take him at least months to come to terms with what he did, and he definitely won't come to terms with it if everything stays as normal. We don't actually know that alcohol caused the situation, it may have just simply allowed it to happen. U ....
Comment preview: > I am looking for evidence, undeniable proof that it is worth bombing this hospital. What are you expecting? The only thing that will satiate you here is if Hamas themselves said "hey looook, too right we've set up HQ here and yes, there's a pretty for ....
Comment preview: I've posted this elsewhere but I'll share it again. You get a warning on the radio that a tornado might touch down. You don't really react. You may not have heard the warning that day. Or if you have, you hear loads of them every year. It never hits you, s ....
Comment preview: I'm from Croatia. I was about 5 when the war broke out and 6 when the Serbian army came to the village me and my family lived in. I remember my dad told us all to hide in the basement until he told us otherwise. I can clearly remember the sound of the tank ....
Comment preview: You know what else we should id is license pedestrians as well! Someone has to pay for all the sidewalk maintenance. People cross the against lights, cross where there are no lights and sometimes stand around on the public walkways clogging them up. Lice ....
Comment preview: My parents grew up in Germany during WWII. When I was little my Mom used to freak out during thunderstorms and run down to the basement. She would look scared and cry sometimes and put her hands over her ears and close her eyes. I would tell her "It's ok M ....
Comment preview: I have 497 seconds. My previous checkpoint was more than a week ago. Would have been more than enough time to stop this. But I just *had* to set a new one to give myself a shot with that girl. Always knew women would be the death of me one of these days. C ....
