The best thing you’ve seen today.

[TheThan]

This thread is dedicated to all the cool, funny and otherwise awesome things that go on around you in your daily life. Weather its something you heard, tasted, saw or otherwise experienced, the people at the playground want to know! So what is the best thing you’ve seen today?

[Setra]

I'll start it off mediocre so people will feel better about their posts.

My floor just got finished with remodeling, it looks much better now, that is all.

Yes my life is boring >.>

[Alteran]

I finally had my order from Amazon delivered two days ago. It contained my Serenity RPG book. :smallcool:

I really like what I'm seeing so far, I just hope I get a chance to actually play some day.

[Moofin Bard]

My kitty fell asleep on me today. And he just looked so cute with all of his fat fluffiness. And I just wanted to squish him to death.

[Coidzor]

a pile of four fluffy kittens falling asleep on our cable box.

The best thing I saw today was my son acting like a goof with a balloon.

[THAC0]

My cat got frightened by the telephone and tried to climb up my head. With his claws.

...I haven't had a very good day!

[Assassin89]

I saw my dog chase a black and white cat that was wandering near my home. Not sure if it was someone's pet.

[Rutskarn]

I endorse this thread.

Anyway: probably the new Freeman's Mind.

[Jalor]

A friend and I made several excellent jokes, bouncing off each other the entire time. Unfortunately I can't detail the jokes on GiantITP due to their political nature, but it was still awesome.

[Crispy Dave]

Today I drank half the green tea I usually do. It was only 100 ounces. this may be because I don't want to run out and only have three bottles left for tomorrow.

[Recaiden]

The desk underneath the paperwork, meaning I had finished it.

[TheThan]

I played in a Babylon 5 call to arms doubles tournament, we each had 5 skirmish use for ships, so I brought ISA (Inter Stellar Alliance), two white stars, and the Liandria. My partner brought the Dilgar. While we didn’t do so great, we talked a lot of smack and had a lot of fun. My brother won the tournament with a cheeseball Drakk force. Its everyone’s fault, they said they were bringing energy mines to negate the stealth his Mimbari (his usual faction) ships have, so he brought a different force and pummeled. To date my bro hasn’t lost a Bab 5 tournament.

[Ravens_cry]

A rousing game of Zombie Flux while geeking out at a local den of nerdery.

[Faceist]

This pinstriped hat I bought. It's so jaunty.

[Yarram]

I endorse this thread.

Anyway: probably the new Freeman's Mind.

Heheheh I saw that too.

[soozenw]

:smallbiggrin: A boy is never too young to grab a vaguely phallic object and pretend it's a sword. :smallcool:

hahaha! It's actually a cheapy Harry Potter wand. He's too young for a sword, as yet. Unless I can find him an awesome foam one at GenCon. :smallbiggrin:

[Cyrion]

G.I. Joe. Well put together and a lot of fun.

[Jack Squat]

Not GenCon, but NERF makes foam swords (http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/geekdad/images/2009/03/18/nerf_nforce_blue.jpg) now. Haven't bought them (yet...), but after a small sword fight in the isles of Wal-Mart, I must say that they're pretty good quality.

[Player_Zero]

Seen today? Hmm... Well, as I woke up a couple of hours ago it's probably just going to be my cat.

[Moonshadow]

My girlfriend, after days of being unable to speak with her.

[Phaedra]

Well, I've not strayed out of my flat today, so my sights have been fairly limited. Best thing I've seen is probably my now complete(ish) first draft of a thesis chapter due in tomorrow.

Best thing I saw yesterday, however, was the group of goths in full length black corseted dresses in the city centre attempting to look cool but mostly just looking uncomfortably warm, lace-edged parasols notwithstanding. Made me giggle to myself, thus making me look crazy to everyone nearby.

We actually just bought one of the generic ones today! The NERF ones are really hard, and we pictured lots of bonks to our heads from them. So the cheaper one won out! He's loving it!

[Mauve Shirt]

Some of the texts I've received, and some exceptionally good hands in a card game I played this morning.

[Trog]

It was in the wee hours this morning but I'd have to say it was my best friends dancing in unison and then stopping and shouting "Mambo!" whilst we were in the midst of playing DnD. Definitely the awesome of the day. :smallbiggrin: I forget what event triggered it.

[Hell Puppi]

My ex popping up on the 'Suggestions' portions of Facebook, even though no one is friended with him....

EDit: Srsly, its freaking me out. His face just pops up in the corner every so often.
WTF Facebook?!

[eidreff]

Myself and a friend have been building a set of bunks, from scratch, to our own design for his two youngest children. We dry fitted the thing today having built 90% of the parts. Seeing the fruit of our labour actually look like an alegant piece of furniture (not at all like a cage honest) has made the last couple of months splinters, bruised knuckles, aches and sawdust in unexpected places worthwhile.

[Eon]

My guinea pigs have layed in a manner which forms a T which happens to be the first letter of my first name.

[Coidzor]

http://www.hulu.com/watch/1422/saturday-night-live-snl-digital-short-lettuce

This was nice.

[Moofin Bard]

My friend sent me an invitation on Facebook to join the group 'Screw college, I'm joining Team Rocket'. Yeah I've had a boring day.

[orchitect]

My new, blue bedroom that I painted almost by myself!

[Dogmantra]

Seeing my dad's band playing. They're pretty golly goshdarned awesome. Oh, and getting an email back from Ryan North after sending him one.

[thorgrim29]

Hulk vs Wolverine.... I just love Deadpool, 4th wall breaking or not.
-Logan, buddy, I shot you!

[TheThan]

Tim Conway is one of the greatest comedians ever.

[Last_resort_33]

Well it's half seven in the morning here and all I've seen so far is my lovely naked husband. It's the best thing I will see all day.

[chiasaur11]

Limozeen...

BUT THEY'RE IN SPACE!

I discovered that my favorite word-that-should-be-a-word is a word.

Concision: the noun for concise, just like precision is the noun for precise.

[banjo1985]

I saw a beggar in Birmingham playing the kazoo. I haven't seen a kazoo being played for so long it was a nice change!

[Miss Nobody]

The best thing that happened to me today was finding my favorite guitar pick, which I had lost a week ago.

[Ya Ta Hey!]

The original music video for Rainbow in the Dark.

My favorite part is where the poor erotomaniac is working up the nerve to give up his vice and go talk to an actual woman, but then the lead guitar (Vivian Campbell?) jumps out and woos her away with a solo.

You just got rockblocked! :smallamused:

[Quincunx]

While I was sunbathing, milkweed seeds flipped through the air all around me. One of them tucked itself under my chin and skittered down my side before being swept away on another gust of wind. It tickled!

[Totally Guy]

A song about stealing food... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xebSF8vRvZI)

[Dogmantra]

A discussion on random banter about the 11 times table. I love this place :smallwink:

[Fredthefighter]

I saw a man and a woman walking down the road holding hands and smiling.

[Dogmantra]

A song about stealing food... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xebSF8vRvZI)

Now I've actually watched this, I'm a fan. This is the new best thing I've seen today. I'm amazed he's the same guy who made Moon Chavs...

[eidreff]

17:00 hours appearing on the wall clock.

[TheBibliophile]

My dad braking suddenly on his bike and his back wheel coming off the ground. It was hilarious.

[Totally Guy]

I'm amazed he's the same guy who made Moon Chavs...

I'd never heard of this until I started sharing that song, it seems the guy is somewhat famous. Maybe we could rope him in as our next celebrity guest for a future UK meetup.:smallsmile:

A few days ago I saw a breakdown van coming helping a broken down van by the side of the road. The van had a big sign across reading "Marvello's Circus of Freaks" and by the side of the road stood a midget and a man standing on his hands.

That was pretty funky.

Then on the way back I kept my eyes open to see if I could see anything as cool. What I saw was a teenaged girl creating vomitous explosions out of the back window of a fast moving car. It's not pretty and I made sure to not stay behind that vehicle for long.

[GolemsVoice]

I just saw Puplic Enemy, with Johnny Depp and Christian Bale. Good movie, that one!

[Achilles]

I just was flashed some mammary glands by a mostly stranger just for being me. Sometimes, its just fantastic to be awesome.

[Jalor]

A picture on /d/. You do not want details.

[TheThan]

Wow that was pretty awesome.

I helped teach someone warhammer fantasy Sunday, which was pretty cool. But since it’s a really complicated game, we totally got him lost. But its his first time playing, he’ll figure it out.

[EndlessWrath]

I watched a Blastoise be thrown across the room while the name LEROY JENKINS was yelled, and it crashed into the face of someone who just ranted for 10 minutes about how Pokemon are stupid and the old ones sucked.

Other than that... Meteor Shower and "the making of Lord of the rings". both were pretty epic.

[Matticus]

The best thing I saw today was a guy at the next table in Maths trying to take the textbook out of the case we super glued it to last lesson.
:smallbiggrin:

[randman22222]

Sting's voice. :smallredface:

*Goes off to fanboy somewhere else.*

[Eldan]

Mother hedgehog and 2 baby hedgehogs in my garden, very early in the morning.


Cuuuuuuuute. :smallsmile:

[TheThan]

this is the best thing I've seen today. It might possibly be the best thing I've seen in quite some time.

http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/076041c13b/the-ballad-of-g-i-joe

[Jalor]

A picture on /d/. You do not want details.
Once again, this is applicable. Also, a guy in another topic made a hilarious pun involving River Tam. So that was cool too.

[Mauve Shirt]

Lots of sweet text messages. And the new Girl Genius strip. And new sheet music.

[RabbitHoleLost]

My friend sent me an invitation on Facebook to join the group 'Screw college, I'm joining Team Rocket'. Yeah I've had a boring day.

I joined a group on FB a year ago that was "Fsck College, I'm going to Hogwarts"

[Trog]

My sons cooperating to carry a two man inner tube to the top of the Bermuda Triangle ride at Noah's Ark water park. :smallsmile:

Though I also never get tired of my sons coming up to me like Squirt in Finding Nemo going "Dad! Did you see me?! Did you see me?! Did you see what I did?!" :smallbiggrin:

[Jacklu]

My cat (which is insane) got mowed over by my dog because she decided to try and hiss at him and scare him off(not because he was bothering her, he was on the other side of the room at the time), but failed to take into account that once food has been dropped anywhere in the house, his mind becomes focused like a laser and he forgets to be afraid of sharp hissing things. Long story short, she decided to make a stand between him and piece of sausage. 15 pound cat versus 120 pound dog. You do the math.

[Dogmantra]

One Shell, Two Shell, Red Shell, Blue Shell (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SEfmhcD8pE)

I found it after archive binging xkcd2 Rock, Paper, Cynic.

[Delwugor]

The best thing I saw today was Mrs. D naked before her shower. :smallbiggrin:
Then I had to go to work ... :smallfrown:

[Cleverdan22]

Hearing my gal friend hum Penny's part of My Eyes from Dr. Horrible, joining in with Horrible's part, and making an awesome duet. Twas fun.

[TheThan]

Hanging out with my friends at a lan party. yeah!

[llamamushroom]

Crawling around with my friends' not-quite-yet-12-month-old son. He's so adorable!

[_Zoot_]

Well, this thread is full of cheer and that is really nice!

But the best thing that i have seen today was the shiny campus of a Uni that i may be going to...

[EmeraldRose]

The full cup of piping hot tea in front of me....which is now sadly empty...:smallfrown:

[Jalor]

This video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a497Hom8Gg). If I actually had any drumming ability whatsoever, I would buy a MIDI drum kit and map it to my Guitar Hero games.

[Perenelle]

probably the best thing I saw today was my band director throwing drumsticks across the room. :smalltongue: It was pretty funny.

[Jalor]

Hey, my band director threw drumsticks across the room today too. Is there any chance we are in the same band, or do we just both have great band directors?

[Perenelle]

haha that'd be a really funny coincidence. well if your location is right then I doubt we're in the same band, since I'm up here in North Carolina. Unless you're flying to school everyday or something :smalltongue: we must just have great band directors then :smallsmile:

[Jalor]

haha that'd be a really funny coincidence. do you live in North Carolina?

Nope, Florida. It still works out good, because I know for sure that at least two funny band directors exist. What do you play?

[Perenelle]

oops I edited my post too late. I didnt look at your location until after I posted.

I play Flute/piccolo/and Tenor Sax. what do you play?

[Talwar]

The best thing I've seen today is a cluster of apple trees on a vacant lot in the midst of suburbia. Though it was necessary to plow through some shoulder-high scrub to get to them, the reward was a grocery bag filled to capacity with fresh fruit.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

This, just a few seconds ago...

That's like... nonconformist fruit! Awesome! Also, they'll taste better than store-bought apples, which are bred to have thick skins and end up losing flavor as a result.

@Perenelle: Baritone/Euphonium. Miserable to carry around, but the sound is more than worth it.

[Feliks878]

Best thing I've seen today? Dinner. Went through an eight hour class marathon without a break for foods, went home and made some amazing fish on the grill. Best thing I've smelled/tasted as well.

[Galileo]

A douchebag getting kicked out of my Classics class. I don't generally enjoy watching other people being punished, but he always disrupts the class and made one of my friends cry the other day.

[Blaine.Bush]

The clock hitting 3:10. School sucks. :smallannoyed:

[MethosH]

This thread :smallbiggrin:

[Perenelle]

The clock hitting 3:10. School sucks. :smallannoyed:

I'd have to second that.

[THAC0]

I saw a bull moose stalking a cow moose lookin' for some lovin'!

[TheThan]

Hahaha

I watched some hunting show once where they were caribou hunting along some river. They were boating along to their hunting site when suddenly a moose burst out of the forest and stopped at the water’s edge. Apparently the sound of the boat’s motor sounded just like a lady-moose looking for a guy moose. ‘Twas quite entertaining.

Moose are full of awesome. I lurves them so much!

[banjo1985]

The best thing I saw today was my train arriving on time for a change. :smalltongue:

[THAC0]

And today I saw a pod of a critically endangered subset of beluga whales, complete with calves.

[Hell Puppi]

Realizing I'd finally covered the red-and-black bedroom of the new house in enough paint to cover the terrible red-and-blackness.
I mean I know it's a classic color scheme but glossy black does not belong on the ceiling.
