Fails In Impressing Others

[Mr. DS]

Have you ever tried to impress someone and failed miserably?  I was thinking today of this time (and I’m not making this up for Doggett’s jealousy) I tried to impress a girl with my brother’s autographed picture of Elvira in high school.  Her and her friends kind of said, “who is that” and wrinkled their noses at it.  I walked away dejected and rather embarrassed. 

So…where have you failed in your life in this topic?

If she doesn't know who Elvira is, she's not worth it. 

But for me, I've had so many fails in trying to impress others, it's not even funny.

I never try to impress anyone, ever

If people aren't impressed by me normally then whatever.

If she doesn't know who Elvira is, she's not worth it. 

I've always liked you 

Ah, but what if she suffers from Elvira envy ?
What is she feels threatened by a fictional character !

What if she wants you to remove the standee from your bedroom....

In high school, I was trying to impress some girls with my cricket batting technique and got hit in the balls by a fast ball. I wasn't wearing a cup or box. Needless to say, me walking around bent double in agony and screaming in a voice only dogs could hear, failed to impress anyone.

I once tried to impress some people at my old job by eating the head of a giant raw tuna. (I have a habit of doing retarded or gross things around groups of people) I got it halfway in when one of it's eye popped out in my mouth, and the other end broke off the damn thing. I then proceed to spit out the head, followed by a mass of vomit all over myself.

wasn't really trying to impress anyone when this happen but I did happen to barf on James Doohan (Scotty from Star Trek: The Original Series for those of you who don't know who he is.). He was at a radio station and was signing autographs as a promotion for the station. I showed up drunk and had eaten a really greasy breakfast. Needless to say it did not go well. To make matter worse, my older brother, who was also drunk, had went inside the radio station to find a restroom and peed on a fake ficus tree in their lobby. We had to leave rather fast since they called the police.

My biggest rule: Never wear a "Free Tibet" t-shirt to a party without reading up on the chinese occupation and Dali Lama.   I looked a right idiot.

When I was about 6 years old I was trying to be a "big brother" and impress my younger sister by showing her the proper way to jump out of a tree without getting hurt.  I landed on my wrist, fractured it, and ended up spending the afternoon in the emergency room.
