The BEST Thing You've Ever Done official thread

[i_like_cheese_2001]

Let's see who earns some karma points back...

Okay, so tonight I was riding my bike through a park by my house that has a river running through it, in a pretty heavy rainstorm (red on the radar screen). I hear someone yelling from the river, and I ride down there expecting a few kids playing a game or something. Instead I find a man standing in rushing water up to his chest, with a child under each arm (one's about 6, the other one is 12ish), and the kids are screaming bloody murder. I yell to see if there was anything I could do, and he points downriver and yells "Daughter, daughter!"

She's about 4-5, and I see her just as she goes over some rapids in an small inner tube. So I run down as far as I could go and jumped into the water to chase after her. I get to her in about 30 seconds of running through waist deep water, and pull her over to the shoreline. We walked the 100ish feet back to where her father and brothers were (they had since gotten out of the river), they said thanks, I asked if everyone was okay and I was on my way.

I broke my cell phone, mp3 player and bike speedometer because they were all in my pockets at the time... I guess no good deed goes unpunished...

someone donate to this man and get him a new cell phone. the shit is pre-paid, so it isn't that much.

I don't know when I do good things.

And I predict this thread will fail. Positive things are boring :P

[Sokkratez]

I downloaded KATG.

AWWWWWWW.

But no, seriously. I don't do many good things. I'm lucky if I maintain an even keel.

I suspect this will be a much shorter thread.

This thread could succeed if people take the following options:

1) Lame attempt by Cheese and Newsy to get new gear, that is, why would your bike speedometer not be attached to your bike? Why can't el moneygrip fantastico newsy not afford a new tracphone for el butthombre queso? Discuss.

2) She was in an inner tube: let it ride. Explain why Cheese was wrong to end her fantastic journey.

3) How much cooler would this story be if the father says, "daughter, daughter." Cheese looks downstream, looks at dad, says, "sucks to be you." and rides off? Continue the story from there.

It was pouring rain, which doesn't mix well with electronics.

Edit: And my dad's already offered to pay for all the stuff, so donations aren't really necessary... welcomed, but not necessary.

whoa dickfuck, this is not a cheese + newsy attempt. it was purely all my doing. and what's all this moneygrip nonsense? i'm working 3 jobs just to make rent, and i steal things for people, because i can't afford to buy them stuff.

that's my good deed. i stole a camera and gave it to darq.

fucking calling my shit lame. WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!

I fucked a fat chick.
