Go on, then. I'd love to hear a few.

Prepared to be sickened and offended.

The Man Who Didn

I attended a call once at a private stables in Essex. One of their mares had been unusually restless lately; clopping, barbiting etc etc. The farmer was at the end of his tether and so hired myself and my partner as consultants. Now, initially we were stumped; there were no outside stimuli that could be causing this unusual behaviour, neither was the horse sick or discomforted in any way. Nothing in it's history struck us as meaningful, so we decided to set up a camera to get a 24 hour view on the mare's life, just in case.
We left the camera there for two days, recording 24 hours; when we brought it home and watched the videos... well. By now I reckon you can guess what happened. It turns out the farmer's son was a bit of a beastophile with a special liking for this particular horse. We had video evidence of him performing multiple sexual acts upon the mare and using the mare. Sufficed to say, it wasn't easy watching that video. We had to watch the whole damn act and get a written transcript for court...
In the end we got paid twice our rate, so it was worth watching a man fuck a horse.

The Squaddie Who Ran

Where I live there are a lot of Army barracks and farms within a few miles of one another. This particular story comes from when I was just starting out with my business, a couple of years back. I was hired by the RSM of the Royal Engineers barrack to liaise with the local farmers and educate them in how to keep their bulls off MOD property. Now, most of these farmers had been around longer than anyone, so they didn't take this lightly. Nevertheless most of them went along with it and I worked to improve their handling techniques and enclosures so that escapes were almost eliminated. But there was one stubborn old barstard that refused to play nice and one day, his prize European champion bull got loose in the middle of morning PT... I was called in about half hour after the panic started, but we spent the day like matadors trying to herd the fucker back toward his pen, using jeeps to block his paths off. In the end one squaddie got pissed off and without warning anyone, did something really, really stupid. He stuck on a hi-vis jacket (which is just as infuriating as bright red paint to a bull) and threw an empty glass bottle at the animal.
Fortunately for him, he was a fast runner. Unfortunately for him, the bull was faster.
He got off lightly with only a horn through the buttock, but Christ did he scream. We eventually tranqed the bull and airlifted him back. The farmer quickly gave up his attitude.

Well, they're the two best stories that come to mind. There are others, mainly involving the strange, strange ways that people use animals to pleasure themselves, but they're less funny and more skin-crawlingly creepy.

You don

One woman used a tarantula.

And Timashe; that's almost exactly the expression I had in mind XD

/edit Adding -nii to the end if a name implies that the person is an older brother; I thought Shiori was older O_o

Dear gods, why is pain-girl doing run of obvious clumsy and likely pain-accident-inducing?
Also...sorry if this is rather critical, but was she bullied for having been pain sensative? I mean, if she started crying/yelling/screaming everytime someone hurt her, most people would freak out by her 'exaggeration' and leave her alone...heck, the more logical form of bullyig for her would be exclusion, since nobody would want to hang out with the girl who could potentially get you into trouble if you pinched her too hard...

Actually there is a difference between localized pain that one would get from pinching, punching and the like. and what just happened to her which is full body wide spread pain.

If it makes you feel any better, I laughed at both of these.

Just to clarify, Kaori bumped into Mariko's chair.

If it's just -nii, it means younger brother. If it's -onii, though, it's older brother. Yuusuke calls Shiori onee-chan because that means older sister. Likewise, nee-chan means younger sister.

[Lennon79]

Sorry mate, I don't mean to be argumentative but that simply isn't the case. Nii-chan and Nee-chan are simplifications of Onii-chan/Onee-chan, both referring to an elder brother and sister respectively. There is no suffix for a younger sibling in Japanese; the nearest would be the words otouto and imouto, i.e. little brother and little sister, however neither of these are used in the same way as Onii/Onee-chan. An older sibling would simply use their little sister/brother's name, perhaps with -chan or -kun as a suffix.

Niichan (兄ちゃん) or Niisan (兄さん): when a young sibling addresses his or her own "big brother".
Nēchan (姉ちゃん) or Nēsan (姉さん): when a young sibling addresses his or her own "big sister".

[Jivusa]

I feel silly.
I've been reading that damn page wrong this entire time.
I apologize, Lennon. You were correct, and I was incorrect. I shall edit my post and correct my mistakes.

[Lennon79]

Don't worry about it ¦3
For ages I thought Onii-chan was a name >>;

[Jivusa]

There we go, I think that's fixed.

It's a title. Tomato, tomahto. I believe that the o- is added if you're not saying the name. Though, I don't trust my eyes anymore. May be wrong again.

[Lennon79]

I think that's generally the case. You find examples of characters using -onii-chan/-onee-chan as a suffix without removing the o in anime, but I think that's mainly to enhance the moe aspect.

I'm highly tempted to create a cute Ogre-spirit character called Oni-chan.

And her faithful steed, Oneigh-chan.

Is that an irish horse?

Used to be an adventurer like me, but then took an arrow to the nii.

[TimasheTiger]

Geez you guys do a lot of posting in a very short amount of time.
Also goddammit empire, that pun.
So unfortunately I'm stuck at work for at least another 6 hours, hopefully that will turn to 5 if we get the store rearrangement done. Then I'm off for two days which will give me plenty of time to manage this.

EDIT: @Jivusa, ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Go get 'em, Tiger.
Okay, I admit that one was awful. Just...awful.

Is Mariko trying to shake hands?
