Impossible things you try anyway

[CakeDragon]

So I'm going to make some armour...
I am a LARP-er and, as my character died last event, my new character is going to be a little better protected. As such I have decided to make my own armour (as it's incredibly expensive to buy it from a shop).
I just bought myself 6m of faux ostrich leather off ebay and I plan on making a tabbard-come-jerkin-come-waistcoat type thing which will give me a lovely extra hit of protection on the battlefield.

So here's my question: have you ever attempted something which is destined to fail, but you give it a go anyway.

Turning my original Xbox into a Linux machine.

So idealistic, for a 13 year old.

I'm attempting to make a BSG deck crew suit (<url=http://www.aarondouglasfans.com/PhotoGallery/BattlestarGalactica/BSG_PropworxAuction_180346135156.jpg>the orange ones) because I totally love the design. Sadly I have practically no experience regarding sewing, nor do I have any idea where I will get any of the parts.
Still, it's my project for this summer, although I know I'll probably fuck it up.

I attempted to lick my elbow, im still convinced its possible.

I too have tried that. I have almost succeeded. It hurt a lot.

 

[Marter]

I tired parkour once...

I will never try it again.

I was really tired and thirsty one time, and a bottle of soda was across the room, so I tried to use the force to pull it over, it didn't work.

Better the world by myself. XD

I tried to do that after reading this, I thought being double jointed might help..but it didnt.

Flying.
I have a lot of flying dreams, and lets just say that even though I got out of bed, I may not have full consciousness. It usually takes me a few minutes of being awake for me to remember that I'm not whomever I was in my dream.
Fortunately, when I tried that, I wasn't living in a lofted dorm room.

Ow! I just strained my neck i think
It is possible though.

I tried using magic many many many times once last week when I was 8.

Does that count?

I tried so very, very hard to ninja my Physics teacher.

Drat my classmates for all looking in the same direction with a confused expression.

I think making this thread is gonna fail, I did it anyway though Appreciate the comments, guys!

 

[verindae]

Myself and 1 or 2 friends made a tandem once. A cut and shut job with 2 bikes. Worked for a while then snapped in half, no surprise there heh

I was pretty sure it was doomed to failure and I was quite glad to see I wasn't just a pessimist

For a near future project I plan on making the mineral oil based PC aquarium... all aboard the fail boat perhaps?

 

[The Maddest March Hare]

Making a relationship work... XD

I see what you did there! And..it's totally true for me too. So this.

That, and getting Linux to actually work properly. Sure, it's a good operating system, but it's compatibility with..well..anything is abysmally flawed.

 

[Aur0ra145]

Understanding women.

I'll be here all week

 

[Beartrucci]

I tired parkour once...

I will never try it again.

I've been out once or twice as well with some friends. Considering I had never done it before in my life I was actually alright at it. The only bruises I came out with were the ones that I got from the Behemoth concert I was at the night before.

 

[DSK-]

Doing the splits. I'm sure you know where I'm going with this...
