Board Thread:Off Topic/@comment-24486291-20140430033028

I suppose it's time to take advantage of the Off topic board by creating something off topic. What a surprise. Basically, I'm just going to talk about a few things that have happened. Yup.

The only reason I'm making this as a thread is because I want you guys to throw out a few small stories like this of your own. It's like the "What are you listening to?" thread, but with stories.

I'm also going to save the best (in my opinion) for last.

I found my own pasta when using the Random Pasta button. Out of 12,000 pastas, my one pasta popped up. It's a pretty special feeling.

When my brother was in middle school, two kids took all the salt packets from the cafeteria and attempted to smoke them in the bathroom. That's not a typo. They attempted to smoke table salt. It set off the fire alarm, the kids were kicked out of school, and possibly worst of all, salt was not allowed anymore. That's stupid. People are stupid.

Dad's potbelly hugs were pretty great. When I was growing up, his oversized tummy provided a lot of warmth and comfort. However, they also came along with Dad Smell. Dad Smell is what I thought of as dad's general musk whenever I was around him. I couldn't really describe it before. It was just kind of... dad. It was always mixed in with the haze of cigarette smoke around him and the bitter aroma of coffee. It doesn't sound great, but he was my dad, so in a way, it was special. It was like his trademark.

When my first day of high school came around, I was nervous (understatement of the year). It was the first time I had really been sweating profusely from something that made me stressed. With puberty rolling around, it made the stench of it just that much worse. I took one whiff, and...

It smelled just like dad.

My God.

Dad Smell was just body odor.

My childhood is ruined (and gross).
