... not so sure about the Velociraptor.
So Hal- how did you play with the Velociraptor to last for 60 seconds?

You two crack me up. 'Ola, how the HE-DOUBLE HOCKEYSTICKS did you get 47 seconds????? I got 1 min 22, and i've had training! (I, also, opted to punch him in the ***** and beat him with my arm.)I LOVE the rabid wolverine in your underpants thing. I giggle every time i think about it. That, and the "make sure your parents eat the matches" thing.

Maybe I could get 2 minutes if I hide behind X! 
After all it's the manly thing to do - ladies first!

I just found this in my old stash of computer files. Pretty cool still! Fits all the beautiful girls on this thread. 
The Ten Commandments of Being a Lady
1. Don't be a helpless damsel. Take pride in being self-sufficient and competent
2. Respect other people's time and be punctual to appointments
3. Resist the temptation to exploit other people's lives by gossiping
4. Speak up when others make offensive remarks. (In other words, don't let your silence lump you in with the transgressor.)
5. Don't be a slave to fashion. Dress to reflect your own unique personality
6. Never make your friends feel like replacements for when your paramour is unavailable
7. Refrain from raising your voice because "the louder you get, the more wrong you sound."
8. Steer clear of people who are married or in committed relationships when looking for romance
9. Give back-- what you can, when you can, and as often as you can
10. Laugh often... especially at yourself

The Ten Commandments of Being a Lady
1. Don't be a helpless damsel. Take pride in being self-sufficient and competent A Southern Lady is demure, pretends to be helpless in order to assert her power passively... Also, it is perfectly ok to be helpless when chained to a bunk bed with a velociraptor, especially when there is a strapping, capable, virile man with a very big gun!
2. Respect other people's time and be punctual to appointments Although, when going to a fancy party with Beautiful People, it's important to be "fashionably" late in order to make an impressive entrance!
3. Resist the temptation to exploit other people's lives by gossiping Always be a good listener, and the biggest key to that is never repeat what is told you in confidence.
4. Speak up when others make offensive remarks. (In other words, don't let your silence lump you in with the transgressor.) Do the right thing... of course, if those offensive remarks are funny, a Lady will quietly excuse herself to the powder room and then dissolve into fits of laughter (make sure to run the water and flush the toilet to hide your mishap).
5. Don't be a slave to fashion. Dress to reflect your own unique personality Set your own fashion. Also dress for the event, it doesn't make sense to wear an evening gown to muck the stalls.
6. Never make your friends feel like replacements for when your paramour is unavailable It is equally important to spend time with your friends even when your paramour IS available. Keeps paramour on his feet!
7. Refrain from raising your voice because "the louder you get, the more wrong you sound." or the more you sound like a fish wife... ICK!
8. Steer clear of people who are married or in committed relationships when looking for romance If you find yourself in such a relationship, get out ASAP. If he's cheating on his main squeeze, he'll cheat on you.
9. Give back-- what you can, when you can, and as often as you can Sometimes just smiling at people can be the little thing that makes a HUGE difference in someone's life.
10. Laugh often... especially at yourself But don't let the joke be on you!

So... no raising of the voice?
That's means no swearing too? 
I guess I don't belong... 
.
So Hal- I answered honestly too... but what did you "DO" to survive?
At first, before I took the test I was thinking that there would be some kind of animated chase involved and I was "picturing" what I'd do ahead of time. Two things... first I was thinking I would climb up on the back corner of the top bunk so that he would jump up there- then I would jump off the back side and when he jumped off to chase me he would hang himself. (I figured he wouldn't be smart enough to make sure to go backwards off his side of the bed before jumping after me.) Second, I also thought of a way to get him to chase me around toward the end of the bed and then I'd push the beds over on top of him and trap him... but that option wasn't offered.
I thought that if I was in a position where my arm was bitten off... the adrenaline pumping through my veins would be so strong that I would not look at my arm as "my arm" but as a "big stick"... one in which to beat him with. But... better believe there would be some raised voices and some swearing... no batting eyelashes here.

I guess I have a certain set of skills that came in handy. One is in the past I handled dangerous critters (alligators, rattle snakes, drunks). I was also trained in various defensive techniques when I went through the police academy. Maybe that helped my score.
I just wished that there was the option for a weapon. Several rounds of .38 SPL would have been handy.

I have a giant Mag-Lite flashlight (nice option for dealing with any "raptor")... a parasol?

so i went to the grocery store the other day, and same as Cab's story, but with a older gentleman checking out Nugget.
I was walking to my car and noticed him looking at the MINI logo on the bonnet. I walked up to him and he was so interested in the car, we stood and talked about 20 minutes about the MINI - he had never seen on before but love the VW Bug "back in the day".
He was so cute, his birthday was the following week and was turning 89 years young, served in the war, and was just the spunkiest little guy. So i opened my door and let him check out the inside and then the same with the boot...
It made my day!!!
