I was thinking I might have escaped the whole "5 most embarrasing moments" thing. But as I was reading Island Gurl's blog (I've been out of town, of course) I saw that she'd tagged me.
So here goes.
1. The one and only time I went commando at school I was like in eighth grade. (For those of you unfamiliar with the term, it's going without any undies. For everyone who is, this is your formal "Mr. Obvious" apology.) I'd gone to the bathroom, and I came out and I'd FORGOTTEN TO ZIP MY FLY. And my pubes were hanging out. Thankfully, I got caught by a good friend who let me in on this serious oversight. Ugh.
2. Once my band was opening up for a really popular local band, Uncalled 4. (This was back in High School, when I was in a band named Cold Turkey. Man, those were the days.) We were so damn pumped, this was going to be our big break. And we get up and play the first two songs just fine. Then I get to our "number one smash hit" - the song we thought was the best one - and, of course, I totally blank on the lyrics. Couldn't remember the second verse worth dogcrap. But I backed up from the mike, hoping no-one would notice, and then the next song started and I forgot ALL THE CHORDS and the whole rest of our gig went up the crapper.
Thankfully, the guys in Uncalled 4 were really cool and let us play again after I'd had a few months to learn my own damned lyrics better.
3. One time I was at this party, and I was talking to this girl that I really liked, and she was sick. She puked on me and I smelled like vomit for the rest of the night. Ugh.
4. I had this little rip in the crotch of my pants when I was a sophmore in high school, but they were my most comfortable pants, so I continued to wear them anyway. One day I was running down the hall, and they ripped about eight or nine inches. So there I was, in the middle of a school day with my butt hanging out of my pants. I had to go to my English teacher and ask him to borrow his stapler, and filled my pants with staples until I could get home and throw them away.
5. My first try at a kiss with my now-girlfriend Lisa. That was a bad one.
Anyway, I don't know who hasn't been tagged and who has, so I'm going to randomly tag . . . BlueDev! (You don't have to, bro.) And Amanda! (Neither do you, hon.) and Angela! (You're exempt if you want, as well.)
So there you go!

Being a former member and co-creator of Cold Turkey, I can assure you, that particular event was rather entertaining. I'd totally forgotten about it, thanks for bringing it back to mind.
