...in at least 10 MP please, I like to examine my future victi- errr... friends... for any flaw in their perfect skin. MOTHER WOULD NOT WANT HER BABY BOY WEARING A FLESH-SUIT that is LESS than perfect!

Oh, I just went to a dark place there didn't I? Damn you Silence of The Lambs!

...but yeah, I've seen Evo's pic here on PF and um... can I have copies Ivan? I promise, no pit-dungeons or night-vision hunts.

I had a police officer point a loaded gun at my head while I was in the shower in my bathroom.

It's criminal not to provide details. In fact, if you don't explain how this happened, I'm going to report you to the local police. I assure you, they will come around the next time you're washing up.

EDIT: Incidentally, that would create a really interesting meta-event.

...But yeah, it'll be funny when my cellmate is taking me for my nightly "ride", to reflect on THAT particular 'poor choice'.

Edit: just got your edit reference. No longer hungry... :cry:
