We've discussed stuff that's embarrassing on Head-Fi before. Grammar never came up. If this thread were about grammar, and I had bad grammar in it, I might be embarrassed, but it's not. The following non-grammatical event was pretty embarrassing, though, just to give you an idea of what actually embarrasses me:
I commonly use my ample gut like a TV tray. You see, my belly, when fully extended, has plenty of surface area. It's very convenient for holding stuff. I love to make bead jewelry. I use empty shoe polish tins to hold and sort all my loose beads. Super Bowl night one year, I had approximately 20 or so tins arranged on my belly; I was making a fantastic choker. I'd been beading for hours, and I'd been drinking; I started to nod off. Well, I had one of those hypnic jerks which launched all 20 tins into the air. This was VERY embarrassing as I was hosting a Super Bowl party for Hooter's girls and members of the local stagehand union.
