Most people drink coke at room temperature or colder. If coca~cola is burning your nose, you ain't doing it right ;)

Oh, I thought that if the coke burnt your nose, you were pretty much doing it exactly right....

The carbon going up your nose hurts, man. It's got a similar burn like stomach acid.

Actually, it's carbonic acid. So no wonder. :P

I now wonder, though, what it's like to get pure carbon up your nose. Diamond sneeze FTW?

Friend who's an EMT on Facebook wrote:Ambulance files:
Me: Why did you want an ambulance?
Patient: Because I'm horny?
Why does this not surprise me in the least?

Somehow, I'm not surprised, either. I guess that comes from knowing EMTs.

Did I ever tell you guys about that dude that's running around in my hometown telling people I raped him?

Right.
So back when I was 16 this guy. George, was hitting on me. Pretty obviously (I don't tend to notice when people hit on me, you see), for about a month. He wasn't much but since I had only started getting noticed by guys a few months before I was like "Awesome". One night, we made out, and he never mentioned it or hit on me again. I was like "meh, confusing, but okay=/". Keep in mind that the makeout was pretty light, not even second base.

Then at one point when I was 18 one of my schoolmates ran up to me. "Hey, do you know George?". After a few minutes of describing him I realized which George she was talking about. "Sure, I know him. Used to go to concerts together."
"He's my boyfriend. He says you raped him"
o.O "Wha?"
"Yeah. He said you just pulled him into Underworld's bathroom and raped his brains out"
I started laughing, then I realized she was serious. Explained what actually happened. Got a weird look. My mind was a blank because I thought it was so silly.

After a month or so I ran into him on the streets. Asked him WTF he was thinking, telling people that I raped him. "Well, you know, some people like to remember what they would have liked to happen". WHAT!?!?!?. Kindly asked him not to tell people I raped him anymore. Or to be a creepy fuck.

Fast-forward another year, when another acquaintance of mine comes up to me. "Hey, do you know George?". "...yeah?". "I'm going out with him and he said you raped him". *facepalm* "WHAT?"
"Yeah, he said you just pushed him down on Fabrica's floor at a concert and raped him then and there"

This was getting silly.
Ran into him on the streets again. Confronted him again. Just gave me a silly smirk. Kicked him in the balls.

Needless to say, both girls actually believe I raped the guy. Not sure whether to be insulted by the fact that they think I'm capable of such a thing, amused by the balls people think I have or a bit flattered that they think I have the self-esteem necessary to have sex on the floor in the middle of the moshpit. I wonder how many other girls he's told this story to over the years.
The best part? The second girl is actually telling extravagant stories of her own to people. I've had random strangers walk up to me and ask me if I'm that crazy lesbian who kept inviting her to orgies o.O.

Hmmm.... I share a somewhat similar, and equally silly experience. Not in the way I were accused of having raped anyone, but someone began gossiping that a coworker of mine raped me... Sure, sex was had, but with the delighted consent of both... I could only think: who does such things? Being wrongly accused of rape is not that far down from being raped oneself (in my opinion).

Yup.. weird is everywhere. I hope you have gotten rid of that George character, Fen, if you know what I mean.

Well we were never really close. Aside from randomly meeting at concerts at stuff we never really talked or met or anything. And keep in mind that the last time I heard the rape-story was 4 years after the make-out. And I dread to think of how many other people he's told this silly story to =/.

I think it's because I used to be a bit famous back in the day. Maybe he thinks this will make him famous by association?

Well, in any case, that is an awful bad story to be telling.
