Icognito

Incognito – I like to use that word when I have done something, that maybe I’m not proud of or when I do something that typically is “out of character” for me. This is one small example – please, people feel free to use this as an “outlet” for those times.

Typically, I drive with the sunroof open – it’s one of those things, I like. So, as it happens on this one particular day, that the sunroof was open, I also had left a tube of “Burts Bees” Chap Stick sitting in the cup holder. As my car sits in the hot sun during work, I leave the windows open. Where I work, no one is going to steal my car – I see it outside of my window. Anyway, I go out to the car to get something for lunch. As I’m pulling out of the parking lot – I decide that I need to put on Chap Stick. So, being incognito, I pull the lid off – and “SPLAT” there goes the “stuff” all over the freakin car. Now, how this is possible, but the crap dries almost instantly. I dare not describe exactly what it looks like now that it’s all over everything. And it smears like crazy trying to wipe it up. I should have known what was going to happen and would have avoided this however….
Yes, I know this is not a huge “incognito” thing, but right now it’s the only thing I’m willing to admit to.

how were you being incognito exactly? were you like sitting real low in your car with shades on looking around like you were about to take a line or something?

i did something "stupid", not thinking, no offense to anyone here, but it could have been a "blonde" moment - even though i'm not blond. so rather than saying i was just plain stupid, i prefer to say that i was "icognito" not my normal self.

When I'm doing something out of character, I like to say I am being ievitable.

Is this a reference to Eva Peron?

What is "IEvitable" ...? The chances that Internet Explorer will crash right when you find the hottest pr0n site ever?

You reminded me of the time my friend grabbed her lipstick off the dash and went to quickly put some on before going in to wherever we were, not realizing it was melted to the consistency of pudding. The whole tube (of a dark red color) mushed all over her lips and teeth. Hysterical.

Bruce, you are such a sweetheart. I'm not being sarcastic, although it occurs to me it might appear that way.

I think it is similar to the title of the thread: icognito.
