Here's the rules (yeah, this will last about 5 posts).

Start your post with:

and then summarize it in one (humorous) sentence.

Reminds me of a quote I heard on the radio, something to the effect of:

"When people hear about your book* they're either going to stick their fingers in their ears and go 'Lalalalala' or go down into their basement and oil their guns because the apocalypse is upon us."

*As I was leaving work, so I missed the title of the book, it was about the economy though.

Nah. Only the second most painful.

The most was some religious nut who was claiming that he met a dragon in the Iraq desert who was a direct agent of the Christian god who's job was to eat sinners.

Getting off topic a bit, as i feel obligated to do, I once talked to a guy who said he was a christian scientist and that the world used to be completely covered with trees surrounded by an ice shield. (No offense to Christian scientists) It took me an hour to slowly crawl out of that conversation.

That's pretty bad, but I still think mine was worse, but attempting to explain would make me look like a nut job too.

Lets just say that he directly stated that all of the personal beliefs I have were blatantly wrong and that I would be on this Iraq dragon's "most wanted dishes" list because of them.* And the reason I held such beliefs were because I was trying to hide from the dragon.

Also, the guy is (supposedly) writing the dragon's memoir.

Took me a week or more to claw my way out of that flamewar.

Except the dragon doesn't eat you because you have a "Historian" badge on your shoulder.

Instead of, you know, eating sinners, and writing its own memoirs (it is immortal,* so what's it care about how long it takes?)

*Speaking of which, why doesn't it just rampage around the middle east eating everyone left right and center? It is immortal.
