I remember when I was 8 or something, I got a pet fish, and a black fish had awesome fins that flowed behind it like a cape.
I named my pet fish batman. My FISH was named BAT MAN.
Go ahead guys, let's see how embarrassing we can get here.
Oh yeah, I remember talking to a girl named Talia with the intent of asking her out simply because I'd be a dork and have her call me Bruce and avoid her at all costs and stab her dad and crap.
She wasn't a very nice person though. Fits for Talia, but not for me.
You see, I think I've set the floor here. Join me or crucify me, your choice guys hahaahhaha
I'm never embarrassed by comic related thing I even named my daughter a feminine form of Lex after Lex Luthor. Her name is Lexi and she already has a favorite comic character (One that actually seems a bit scary but cool for her age)
Hmm...once when I was but a wee lad I made my own Godzilla comic. I made him say "What the hell?" because I thought that what made a good comic was cursing.
I remember me and a body would spar in random Locations and pretend we were Wolverine and Spider-man. The latin and place versions. lol
I don't think this would count as embarrasing but this past May when I went to Free Comic Book Day it was my first time ever in a comic book store. I saw a Flash comic book and having read some Flash comic books from my library I knew that Barry Allen and Wally West were both the Flash. Barry being my favoirte Flash. I didn't know if the Flash on the comic book was Barry or Wally and because of the tv show Big Bang Theory I thought that you were looked down upon if you weren't a comic book expert. I didn't want to look stupid so I didn't ask if it was Barry or Wally. I ended up not buying the Flash comic book. Later I learned it was Barry and Wally doesn't exist anymore. (I didn't know that then). I went back and bought the Flash comic book and have been buying them ever since.
I dressed like Starfire once in a Starbucks.
Well...I say dressed.
I meant I stripped until I looked like her.
I admitted to a group that i paid $400 for a comic book. I wasn't embarrassed by that, but they were! When I told them i got it by paying $40 a month for 10 months...that didn't seem to help.
Bump.
me and my best friend covered a hamster ball in lighter fluid, lit it on fire and threw it at each other while yelling "KAMEHAMEHA!!!!!!!" and "FINAL FLASH!!!!!"
@Crom-Cruach: that's not even the high mark of the stupid things me and him used to do that should have put us in the hospital
I passed all my English classes in college by relating whatever story we were reading to a comic. I compared an issue of X-Men to both Dante's Inferno, and the Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. I compared Batman and Iron Man to The Great Gatsby. I also did a paper about who the best comic villain was, as well as several other papers. Each of my papers received an B+ or better. Only one of my 5 English classes actually dealt with comics, and in that class none of my papers dealt with comics, and I still passed that class with an A! I should also state that I actually wasn't embarrassed by doing that. I've never been embarrassed about my love for comics, and the other students in my classes actually enjoyed reading my papers. They said it gave them insights to the world of comics, and I got several of those students to start reading comics!
I say "By Neptune's beard alot". I also once wrote an English paper centered around the X-Men. Then one time a friend told me they were reading about Excalibur and my first reaction was to ask which issue when they were talking about the actual sword. I'm not really embarrassed by any of this though; it is simply who I am.
I creeped up on my neighbors through the bushes and trees wearing a ski mask pretending I was Spider-Man. Think I was like 9 or 10
