I spent a month as a waiter on night shift at Waffle House. A guy started shaking while signing his name on his receipt, so I asked if he was cold. He stared at me coldly and said, "I have Parkinson's." All I could say was, "Well, shit."

Damn.

Had a guy at an old job of mine have an epileptic fit while working. Thankfully we all knew so we could try to keep him from hurting himself until the ambulance came. A few days later he came back but then said he had to go because something had gotten worse. Shame as he was a nice guy and as far as I know his work was fine. Sucks when the brain is cooped up in a body that doesn't want to cooperate.

Yeah... while in elementary school, I had a volunteer teacher (who was helping me at my desk at the very same time) have a seizure at my desk... scared the hell outta me... Not a fun experience when you're 7.

Seizure stories it is.

My wife and I went on a vacation with two of my college buddies to DC in 2002. At the Lincoln monument a guy riding his bike to the monument just fell over and had an exaggerated seizure.

I'm afraid of three things: My wife dying, Jelly Fish, and Seizures.

I wanted to help, but had no clue what to do. Luckily the monuments have plenty of security, who also didn't know what to do. It was a chaotic twenty or so seconds, and then it was like he snapped out of it. Obviously the things that scare me are things I don't understand.

SMILE: Read a script that includes the line, "Clarissa, could you explain this to me?". Some of you will get it.

FROWN: The garbage men keep putting shit in my trash can. Literally.

When they collect the trash, they pile trash in other cans to save time on pick ups. That leads to cat litter and dirty diapers thrown in my bin since it usually half full (or half empty depending on your view). Yes, garbage stinks, but I would prefer not to have cat shit thrown in my garbage bin.

I guess I can join in on the seizure stories too: I once watched a really good friend of mine have an anxiety attack on my front porch. Seizures, foaming at the mouth, etc, the whole works.

When we called his dad, he insisted he was faking it (wtf?), and after we got him to the hospital, his dad started going on about demonic possession or some nonsense. His dad was a really odd dude. Kinda still is.

Friend turned out fine from that at least. As far as I know he's not had an incident like that since, though he's gotten some nasty injuries by being stupid.

...not sure if want. Geez I can't even remember the show much now that I think about it, it was always "that show with the chick who plays Sabrina" to me.

Since you're smiling, i'm assuming it's at least a good script?

[Flake]

Frown: Lotta drama around here lately, eh?

Smile: Got a review download code for Double Dragon Neon. Woot for free stuff!

Frown: mjmjr closed my at work entertainment thread. That was too good.

No, it's pretty awful: High class beautiful working girl who for some reason can't find a man, meets with rugged handsome man on tough times. It's the classic, "you know how much they'll love each other at the end by how much they hate each other when they first meet". Not to say that formula hasn't worked and will continue to work.

The Clarissa joke made me laugh, but that in mind here is a character with only a few lines introduced for a joke that not everyone will get.

But, the boy and girl turn cute movies aren't going to die anytime soon. Fortunately Hollywood is starting to learn that Andy Samberg isn't good for movies, and that he is certainly not a male lead women want to see.

Nothing against the guy, he just can't act and women don't find him anywhere close to being a heart-throb. And yes, Hollywood thinks Samberg is the new heart-throb. I blame Seth Rogen (but I don't, he's great).
