The silly promises thread (I know you've been waiting for it! )

I am bored of the main topics today. Sure, there has been good threads such as the commercialisation of a device enabling humans to basically breathe underwater (it acts like gills, accumulating oxygen from water itself), but the front page is full of politics, and political threads just bore me. It all basically boils down to this: "This group of people hate this other group of people".

So I have decided that we'd have some fun; and elected to write this thread. Maybe its the kind of threads which sounds good in my mind but sounds rubbish when written down - a bit like this time when a woman held the door open for me using her rear, in which I thanked her by expressing my gratitude for the fact that her rear extended that far... trust me, it really sounded better in my mind. But I don't think this thread is as bad. In fact I think this thread is going to be kinda fun.

So, here it is:

I invite you to share this one thing you are convinced of... and what is the silly thing you promise to do if proven wrong in your conviction.

For instance, please allow me to start:

I am absolutely confident that no evidences of time travel will ever be found (this is because of my paradox wave theory) - and if someone ever succeed (however improbable this is) in proving me wrong, then I promise to (here comes the silly part) permanently wear nothing less than a tail made of brightly coloured, hard-to-hide, long peacock (in honour of my current avatar, of course) tail feathers.

Hehe, your turn! What is it you are convinced of, and what's the silly thing you promise to do if proven wrong?

Let the fun begin!

Hi swanne!

This sounds like fun, so S&F...
I just got here so need to think about my answer.
I'll be back.

I am so confident that those who claim to channel aliens are a hoax, that if proven wrong, I will, for the rest of my life, wear a dress and make up. And a tiara.
Let's hear an answer to a scientific theory that our scientists haven't been able to solve. Let's have cold fusion. How about a visit? How about concrete proof instead of all the 'feel good" CRAP that we always hear.

I'll bite.

I'm fully convinced after two decades of being a Christian and then nearly two decades researching religions and religious history that the concept of "god" was created by man as a means of explaining natural phenomenon when their understanding was lacking, and then later used as a means of controlling large populations under the guise of promised rewards and punishment--neither of which could be proven, of course.

If I'm proven wrong--which like with time travel evidence, it's highly unlikely--I will take a picture of me wearing a cut-off fishnet shirt (with the nipple areas cut out), Tammy Fay Bakker (Messner) wig and make-up, sequined mini-skirt, fishnet stockings (to match the shirt, of course), and patent-leather stiletto heels bedazzled to look like a new-years-eve ball, all while riding a two-hump camel dyed purple as it walks through a 4-year-old's birthday party.

Im so convinced of the same that if i were wrong, i'd actually risk happening a quick glance at you wearing your dress, makeup, and tiara.

a reply to: SlapMonkey

My word, allow me to applaude your imagination - and precision!

a reply to: bigfatfurrytexan

Careful. Veerry careful.

a reply to: swanne

Get me out of the political and posse commitatus and those types of threads, and I can actually enjoy myself.

Go figure...good thread.

Oooooh this is a hard thread to think of a thing that might never happen and what I would do

*Strokes beard on chin*

I will think and be back...

a reply to: swanne

I'm going to raise the stakes.

I'm betting that Light speed travel is impossible for any species. If I am wrong I will create an album so terrible that it will ruin any prospect of me finding a lady friend-and since I am not good with the ladies the stakes are high

Is Anyone in the mood for Peruvian Ghost metal? Hopefully you will never hear it...If my prediction proves correct.

I'm convinced that some ATSers (not pointing any fingers) are just dying for an excuse to dress up.

Prove me wrong and I'll dress up too

How do I erase this mental image?

Okay...if someone can ever prove to me that we have a benevolent creator who loves us all...I will dress up with SlapMonkey and berenike, wax MrsNonSpecific's chin hairs whilst watching Sharknado, eating donuts and taking endless duck-faced selfies...and drunk posting here.

Purchase the coarsest sandpaper and some putty. After many hours of cleansing that rust in your car door will be unnoticeable. Oh and that mental image will be gone as well.

Changing the subject always helps.

Aren't radio waves traveling at the speed of light?

How is that album coming?

Ummm...errr...

a reply to: Lysergic

You don't.

It gets more vivid in your sleep, so sleep tight tonight...

I'm convinced that in a community, in which people are mentally and emotionally healthy and are well educated in all kinds of crafts, sciences and arts, there will be no poverty when it is ensured that nobody from the outside is disturbing that peacefull community. This community could even affort to let a few mentally and emotionally disturbed fellas in to heal them by being a member of a healthy and happy enviroment.

If that is proven to not be the case, I'll shave my head and let someone tatoo a swastika on top of it. And I will always wear white high-heels when it's raining and also when it snows. And maybe I will start biting my nails.
