Embarassing Animorphs Encounters

[Dameg]

I just read a file with some stupid things the students wrote during exams. One of them wrote: "Because of their eyes, the eagle can read a newspaper from a distance of 1500." The corrector wrote that the eagles were very clever, and that he'll take care now. But I thought: "Woh! An Anifan!" lol only just after thinking "He's right, where is the mistake?" lol

not embarrassing, but amusing:

i'm visiting my sister, and she's telling me how to find her place. she adds in one of her emails:

"p.s. dont go through the construction area on _____..."

i bet you know what the first thing to run through my head was.

[estrid]

haha thats awesome! i may actually had been tempted to go and look 4 the blue box, just in case

[Shenmue654]

Ehehehehe. Yeah, I've been tempted to rummage through random construction sites before. There's this one that used to be up where I met my psychiatrist, and nobody built on it for like two years. Some of the buildings were rusted. I was never completely convinced that if I somehow managed to get there at 10:00 at night, an alien spaceship wouldn't show up.

hahaha-

unfortunately, this construction zone is quite active. if it had been abandoned, i would definitely have gone exploring. as it is, she warned me that i might be arrested if i trespassed, which was enough to deter me. STILL.... with the promise of a blue box discovery or similar...

oh, man. i'm no roswell fanatic, but i'd spend one night of my life waiting for the alien spaceship of Destiny. ^^ i'm totally with you.

The other day my friend and i were in the mall and out of no where he bowed to me and was like yes prince jake. I was mind baffled

[estrid]

haha ur friend is awesomely hilarious

Not so much embaressing, but my friend is the real ladies man (an aussie tour guide, complete with backpackers) whereas that lifestyle didn't appeal to me as much and I was smart enough to recognise my future wife when I saw her

ANYWAY:
I'm usually wingman for his escapades, where he likes to show ladies that, while he's a tanned, breakdancing tour guide, he's still a nice enough guy that his oldest mate is a multi-pierced bookworm/nerd.

His pick-up conversations usually include;

Him: "Hey, D-Man! What were those books you always read? With that dude with with the "Asilliosrror-whatever" name?"

Me: "Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill"

Him: "AHAHAHAHA!!! I love that! You've got a freaky memory, man! But yeah, he's my oldest mate, he's awesome, I always used to try to set him up, etc, etc."


What's worse is that it works better for him more than it ever did for me

Although I DID meet my wife through Pokemon and Gears of War 2... So I win

[estrid]

haha thats hilarious. ur friend is awesome

I've never said it out loud but I keep expecting Marco and Ax to show up at my school.  My school is the only university in the country that has a gorilla as a mascot.  His name is Gus the Gorilla.  We play GunsNRoses' "Welcome to the Jungle" at all the games.

The library is called the Axe Library.  Also, there are squirrels everywhere and I keep thinking one of them might be Cassie.

[estrid]

DUDE u go to an awesome school. maybe its proof marco and ax really do exist?

[Nero's Fury]

Last night i was at the library and this uh slow child walked up while i was lookin at the Animorphs books.

She took one look started wavin her hands abover her head as she screamed ITS A YEERK! and ran out.

So i ended up makin up an excuse on why i had to leave to my friend

[estrid]

wierd. an old host perhaps?

[aareavis]

I think I had a yeerk pool in my basement.  It was always flooded and there were slugs EVERYWHERE.  Big slugs too.  Fat, six inch long slugs.  My cats used to eat them.  It was disgusting because they would come in with this slime all over their faces that wouldn't wipe off.  I just had to let it dry up...

[VisserZer0]

Umm, OK. 6 inch long slugs everywhere... I would have been in heaven there as a little kid.

I remember when I first picked up The Invasion, I could not determine Jake's gender. This was before I read the back, obviously. It was so weird.
