just wondering.... 
what would you turn into if you were splashed with cold water?

Well, let's find out...

<BLOOOSH!!>

Hmmm... I'm still the same as I ever was!

Strange story about my descent into Otaku-hood.

It was July of '96, and Dexcon was just wraping up.  If any of you have ever
been to game conventions, you'll know how I was feeling at noon of the
fourth day.  (At game cons, your day starts at around 6a, and lasts until
about 5a, and your diet consists of pixie stix, marshmallows, and Coke.)
This was the first time I had ever seen Ranma, and I had just sat through
the first season, Big Trouble, Akane and her Sisters, Like Water for Ranma,
and finally Sillicone Valley (You know, Nihao My Concubine.)  Needless to
say, I was crazy.  I started up a conversation with a fairly attractive
elven vampire I met by the pool, and we got to talking about Ranma.  She
asked if I changed into anything with cold water, and I said I didn't know.
So I jumped into the pool.  In my jeans, my Death t-shirt, my steel-toe
combat boots, and my black trenchcoat (I was playing Live Action Vampire.
Sue me!).  After surfacing, I peered down my shirt, and yelled "Sorry.  No
tits!"  Of course, my mother had the good fortune of walking into the pool
area right at that moment.  Now, imagine seeing your son standing fully
clothed in the middle of a pool, and commenting that he doesn't have any
breasts.

(After I was tested for every known narcotic and contraband...)

And when Gary wrote that, all the memories came rushing back.

So, anyone got a real life story about Ranma that can top that for wackiness?

(I did have an ulterior motive, in that said elven vampire was extremely
cute, and she said that we could have a little...............if I did have a
Jusenkyo curse.  Turns out I didn't have a Jusenkyo curse.  Turns out it
didn't matter anyway.  I still look back fondly at that weekend, and I still
see her.  Now if I could convince her to marry me...)
