I know they're very bored and Jonny is trying to be a wag, but this kind of thing seems beyond horrid. I've never had anything like it done to me, so I wouldn't - but, being attacked by your friends, Funny or get the fuck away from me?

I would say being thrown into the swimming pool is classic. After all, it shows people like you if they throw you into the swimming pool. Do really uncool people ever get thrown in? It depends I suppose whether it is a same sex throwing in, or boys throwing in girls. To me it seems that boys throw in girls that they like, whereas boys might throw in a boy they thought was a nerd. But I think even if it was boys throwing in a boy they thought was a nerd, they would still only throw in a nerd they had a kind of friendly liking for. The nerd himself might not see that though. To be completely untouchable and not thrown in oh what a tragedy! Still one could form a 'subcult.'

I feel sad now manny.

― Graham, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I will be in England to throw you into a swimming pool within 24 hours. Start finding out the possible locations asap.

― maryann, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Karl J Kretzschmar, are yo7u the same Karl J Kretzschmar that was at the barmtismavR.

― chasimino, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You could throw me in the sea, maybe?

― Graham, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You can't throw someone into the sea unless you're strong enough to carry them out deep while they struggle. I might have to bring a team of dumb jocks with me.

― maryann, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

if the sea is the kind that has a pier, the dumb jocks are rendered unnecessary.

― rainy, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh yeah, all I have to do is trick Graham into standing near the edge. Since I've given away so much already I think I'll have to somehow erase his memory.

― maryann, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Do crazy bombs make you forget?

― maryann, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I dunno, can I try?

― Graham, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Graham I am grabbing your arms and twisting them behind your back and you are screaming 'no no' and I am pushing you forward and you're screaming but it's too late and you are clicking HERE

― maryann, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't think we could get Graham to eat Crazy Bombs, on account of the parsnip and gelatin and whatnot. I'm amazed I'm even eating them. Actually I'm not amazed that much.

― rainy, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

So are you saying that we will somehow have to erase his memory to get him to eat the crazy bombs that will erase his memory? That plan is doomed to fail.

― maryann, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think it's just doomed enough to work.

But actually, I am blatantly eating Crazy Bombs here in the library and the IT guy is sitting beside me and saying NOTHING. Perhaps Crazy Bombs are erased from memory before they are even committed?

― rainy, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Nope, it was horrible

― Matt, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

By the way I didn't see the girl get thrown on Big Brother. Was it really malicious?

― maryann, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

if the sea is the kind that has a pier

!!!!!!

― Ron, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Rainy makes me giggle.

Maryann made me into a soggy black guy.

Kate screamed like she was falling down the stairs while being molested. It was unsettling.

― Graham, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

A smiling soggy black guy.

― Graham, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What does Chasimino make you do?

― rainy, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No that's supposed to be a guy you see laughing at you as you fall in.

― maryann, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Whichever, I do feel loved now.

― Graham, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

oops sorry ron, I meant to say: 'If the sea is the kind that has a pie'.

― rainy, Thursday, 11 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

1) They are all 12 CD people.

2) "Did you ever go to a love hotel?" strikes me as the most inappropriate question one could ask when sharing a bath (corner bath).

3) Poor Tim, "I'm a nice guy".

4) If I hear PJ say "she's really struggling" one more time, well, I guess I'll go "arrrrghhhhhh".

I'm reposting my comments from the previous BB thread, as no will see my comments there.

― jel, Friday, 12 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh and if someone tried to throw me into a swimming pool, then I would more than likely kick them in the knee caps.

― jel --, Friday, 12 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Blimey, what a load of sensitive little flowers you are. Kate didn't seem to mind, she seemed to think it was funny.

― Emma, Friday, 12 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I kinda depends on whether the throwing is being down in a playful manner or I have had rocks tied to me. It would also annoy me if I was at a party and had no clothes to change into or towels to dry me off and money/damagable equipment in my pocket. On that final score Johnny took her microphone off, she lives there and PJ was ready with the towel. I think it was all in good fun.

Though I'm sure Tim disapproved.

Graham, would being wrapped up in a rug and rolled down a hill strike you as horrid?

― Pete, Friday, 12 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Har har then having beer poured on your head? And Pete is right, it was not like the pool was shark infested or she couldn't swim or they tied rocks to her.

― Emma, Friday, 12 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

This is not a mothafucking Big Brother thread.

― Graham, Friday, 12 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(Sorry, I've been woken early today)

― Graham, Friday, 12 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Rolling down hills is GRATE, I should imagine it would be even better with the cushioning of a RUG, I am up for that!

― Sarah, Friday, 12 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Pete, given your notorious density, wouldn't rocks buoy you up?

― Tim, Friday, 12 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Good point Tim, buut I was talking more in the abstract. No-one could pick me up to throw me in a pool. Though they could wrap me in a rug....

― Pete, Friday, 12 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

But if the pool was sunken you could be pushed? I'm sure my dad used to chuck me & my brother into pools on holiday and we LOVED it. It's fun innit?

― Emma, Friday, 12 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Esp. pools of acid. (Evil genius cackle to follow).

Water fights are brilliant too.

― Pete, Friday, 12 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think it's kind of fun and sexy = classic, as long as no one throws me in the deep end, because I can't swim and might well die. And that = dud, at least from my point of view.

― Martin Skidmore, Friday, 12 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

And and and, why are pillow fites seXXXy?

― DavidM, Friday, 12 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

In University College Dublin they allegedly have a rule whereby if you get thrown into the lake there (which is not a swimming pool, but shares certain characteristics with one), then *you* get fined, not the people who threw you in.

I think this is to discourage people from making themselves so unpopular they get thrown into the swimming pool.

― DV, Monday, 15 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have to say that I love the idea that being thrown into a pool turns you into a buff black man.

― Dan Perry, Monday, 15 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

four months pass...

I have to say that I always seem to get thrown in pools whenever i'm at parties that have them. I must be attracked to water or something. It doesn't seem to matter what i'm wearing. I can be wearing a sport coat or jeans. I must admit though, that swimming with my cloths on seems rather sexy especially if members of the opposite sex are with me. If they are, I make sure that they get thrown in the pool too. It makes for alot more fun.

― Sean Davis, Saturday, 30 November 2002 07:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, cos then it's eXXXtra seXXXy, right?

I got thrown into a swimming pool in winter in a sleeping bag by sadistic christian camp leaders when I was 17 (please don't try to think why the fuck I'd be at a fucking xtian camp at that age - well okay I was heartbroken and fucked-up and my friend, who wasn't even a xtian herself - neither was I but I had been 'til I was 14 - took me there, I was so low I just went along with what she told me to do).

I have a friend who tickles me (I am pretty sure he only tickles his female friends) I hate it, I have nightmares about being tickled.

― spectra, Sunday, 1 December 2002 07:21 (twenty-three years ago)

spectra, I liked your story about the xtian camp because when I was a teenager I always went to things that I knew were crap out of some kind of perversity and they included xtian tramps and a horrid youth group led by a plain mean boy called Brian.

Can someone puch me into one please?

― Graham (graham), Monday, 2 December 2002 16:44 (twenty-three years ago)

three years pass...

Now, really. When's the last time that this has happened to anyone?

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Thursday, 11 May 2006 21:40 (twenty years ago)

A couple of years ago. We were on holiday and they were doing a "play darts and win free booze" thing by the pool. Sounded fair enough, until we signed up and they started making it "wacky" and "fun". Like blindfolding you, or making you throw all three darts at once. And if you missed, big scary Moroccan men (who were actually very nice) picked you up and threw you in the pool. I got thrown in, but they walked up slowly to the pool edge to allow me time to take my watch off and stuff.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 11 May 2006 21:49 (twenty years ago)

When I visited Canada in 9th grade. Some dude suggested we race around the swimming pool and he ended up just pushing me in as soon as I was on the inside. Fucking dick ruined my wallet and tons of shit.

― JW (ex machina), Thursday, 11 May 2006 22:04 (twenty years ago)

Once, at a pool party at my grandparents' house, my uncle was throwing anyone who came near him into the water. He was very drunk. A woman came around the corner, and he grabbed her and threw her in, before clocking that she was wearing pearls and a huge white fur coat.

After she'd been dried off, she spluttered out that they'd got lost in the country on the way to the opera, and she'd come up the hill to ask directions. Bentley-driving husband not best pleased. Me: inappropriately hysterical.

But it's still C, because getting thrown in to that same pool taught me how to swim, and without that all your lives would be different, in subtle ways.

― stet (stet), Thursday, 11 May 2006 22:11 (twenty years ago)

stet, you've totally made that story up. It's like a bad sitcom episode or something.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 11 May 2006 22:14 (twenty years ago)

throwing the dog into the swimming pool: Classic

― kingfish doesn't live here anymore (kingfish 2.0), Thursday, 11 May 2006 22:16 (twenty years ago)

Alisa and JW - not really thrown but pushed.

Stet - very suspicious.

Dogs - never have to be thrown as long as there's a tennis ball around.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Thursday, 11 May 2006 22:19 (twenty years ago)

No, I was definitely thrown. Four blokes, one for each arm, one for each leg. Then swung and launched upwards and poolwards.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 11 May 2006 22:21 (twenty years ago)

Nope, it never happens. Did it ever? I say we link this to that other thread about things that you never see anymore (white dog poo, old people winking, sherbert...) I'll search...

― paulhw (paulhw), Thursday, 11 May 2006 22:22 (twenty years ago)

I had pineapple sherbert last night.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Thursday, 11 May 2006 22:24 (twenty years ago)

Hmm, odd. Very odd. Where you wearing a "hang ten" Tshirt?

― paulhw (paulhw), Thursday, 11 May 2006 22:34 (twenty years ago)

No.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Thursday, 11 May 2006 22:50 (twenty years ago)

swimming pools are like big stinky tanks of love, so CLASSIC

classic graham

― j blount (papa la bas), Friday, 12 May 2006 01:18 (twenty years ago)

It forces you to get over yourself and loosen up a little, so, classic.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Friday, 12 May 2006 02:41 (twenty years ago)

I always think about peoples wallets when that happens.

The truth is, when you are in heaven , you will never feel bad about being pushed into a pool

― Mr Jones (Mr Jones), Friday, 12 May 2006 04:37 (twenty years ago)

not too bothered about wallet, that'll dry out. it's my phone i'd be concerned for.

― not-goodwin (not-goodwin), Friday, 12 May 2006 07:09 (twenty years ago)

I meant I try to take their wallets when they place them by the side of the pool

― Mr Jones (Mr Jones), Friday, 12 May 2006 07:28 (twenty years ago)

I was pushed into a swimming pool once. Apparently the lifeguard had told some kid to push me in, because I'd been so nesh, tentatively tiptoeing around without actually getting in the water. A bit of an unorthodox strategy, but it kind of worked.

― Daniel Giraffe (Daniel Giraffe), Friday, 12 May 2006 10:24 (twenty years ago)

-- Abbadavid Berman (Hurtingchie...), May 11th, 2006.

all these uppity DRY people not intending to get in the pool (or at least not yet--give me a minute) certainly need to get taken down a notch or two. let's dunk them after pushing them in. really get the fear and panic pumping through their tight-ass veins. LOOSEN UP!

― andrew m. (andrewmorgan), Friday, 12 May 2006 13:32 (twenty years ago)

I was thrown in a swimming pool just last year! Though I was wearing a swimsuit at the time.

It must be pretty tiring.

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 12 May 2006 19:39 (twenty years ago)

Most of the fatigue comes from waving at the end of the day.
