While I was in Singapore, I met a girl in the hotel I was staying at. We had a good time just hanging out with each other for the few days I was there. Finally, I was scheduled to fly out to Kuala Lumpur, so we exchanged numbers and that was pretty much it.
She had mentioned her occupation, but I didn't think much about it until 2 years later, when I saw her on the poster of a famous asian tv show. She's now a big tv star.

Sounds like you may have dodged a bullet there. Seems sketchy.

It's not, our Lonely Planet even made reference to this being a common occurrence when in Mumbai. They even give you a few bucks and some free food while you are there apparently.
Of all the things we dealt with backpacking India for 26 days, this was by far the least sketchy thing we came across!

Close - 403-273-7373 not the "587" most of you were most likely thinking.

Is there such a thing as an extra in a snuff film?

We unfortunately then proceeded to ruin that party with drunken antics.

Did you go to the full moon party?

Another random thing in my life:
Back in 2005 a girl I was dating ran into Dan Akroyd as she left Mynt (remember that place?). He invited her out to dinner the following night. She went to dinner with him and he put the moves on her, but she brushed him off and left for work (she worked night shift at a hotel in the core at the time).
I happened to be out with my buddies at Mynt that night, and somehow we ended up in the little VIP section. Well who should show up but Akroyd. So I go over and talk to him:
"Hi Dan, how was dinner with Derpette (name changed)?"
"Oh you must be Bigtime, I gave her something to give to you." (no it was not herpes)
We chatted for a few more minutes and then we said our goodbyes. Upon seeing my girlfriend the next day she gave me his gift, a nice bottle of Patron Tequila signed by him for me.
I dumped her about a month later, pretty cool though. Still have that bottle.

A) She should have slept with him because Dan Aykroyd is the man and she could say that she got tapped by Elwood Blues.
B) I also have a Dan Aykroyd signed bottle of Patron Tequila. He also signed my Ghostbusters T-Shirt.

Then when I tapped her it would be like I slept with Dr. Raymond Stantz.

I believe in the Pony Power
|
A few years back I was awoken in the middle of the night at home by my phone ringing. When I picked up the lady at the other end said "Good morning Mr. Farhall this is your wakeup call".
I said "what?"
She replied "You ordered a wake-up call and this is it".
Me: "You're calling me at home"
Her: "That's right sir".
Me: "Thank you I guess"
Now logically it was probably a prank by someone - but I have no idea who and no one ever owned up to it.

Goes into the same category as sending a stripper to your recently married buddies house on his birthday.

You give infractions, I get back by placing fake wake up calls. Tit for tat.

I suppose Dan has an understanding with his wife Donna Dixon?
