Random things about yourself

[Da_O]

- I refuse to use the semi-colon in any context: including on this board.

- I came in 3rd place in the All-Valley Karate Championship back in June of 1984. Unfortunately, everyone only remembers the controversial championship match between Lawrence and that white trash kid from Jersey.

- Sometimes, I sell lucky pennies for a dollar to make money.

- I nailed Tina Yothers, Punky Brewster and Tempsett Bledsoe. I was really drunk when I nailed Tina Yothers.

- My favorite number is 309.

- I once laughed at an antelope.

- I like apple juice. But, I like orange juice more.

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I like beer and whiskey.

 

[mook]

- I wrote a really, really bad novel.

- I just got my dog back from the vet. He had a splenic tumor the size of a volleyball that weighed 10 pounds. Set me back $2,000. The vet said it'd only cost $600, but afterward he told me it was the largest tumor he'd ever seen. I realize it is a stupid amount of money to spend on a dog, but he's the best pet I've ever had, so I suppose I'm glad the vet never asked if I wanted to spend that much money before hand.

- I've never bought a car that was younger than 8 years.

- I've gone back and forth between gear driven and impact sprinkler heads. Gear driven seem to water less evenly. Impact heads get stuck. I'm back in the gear driven camp for now.

- I like banana in my scrambled eggs.

- I think there are four kinds of marriages. Those that barely get by. Those that are friends. Those that are best friends. Those that are crazy in love. Each is more rare than the previous. I'm usually somewhere in the last two, depending on how recent the sex or how good the dinner. Not bad after 9 years.

- I frequently eat all my kids' Lucky Charms when they aren't looking.

 

[ucatchtrout]

I have two parrots. A sun conure and a yellow nape parrot.

 

[crandc]

I have 3 cats, all with literary/artistic names (Orlando from As You Like It, Margot and Rudy after Fonteyn and Nureyev).

I bake.

I have a huge vegetable garden, rose garden, herb garden, fruit trees, and drought-tolerant ornamentals, all organic.

I am a technical writer.

I have San Francisco Ballet season tickets.

I have never developed a taste for coffee and in consequence it's about the only thing in the world I can't cook.

I'm brunette/blue eyes.

I'm a red diaper baby/grandchild and 3rd generation feminist.

I have probably not surprised anyone with this list.

I had to look up "red diaper baby". I'm with you on coffee--I tolerate it, and can drink it to be polite, but it's not really my bag.

Did you develop the garden b/c you are a great cook, or start cooking because you had fantastic ingredients?

Have you ever been to Russia?

The cooking came before the gardening. But they do supplement each other, you know, hmmm, a ton of basil, time to make pesto.

Never been to Russia. But I do like tea.

 

[andalusian]

I just drove home in a 40 years old Italian car that I purchased. 200 miles in a loud Alfa Romeo is an experience that is both magnificent and terrifying...

 

[BTOWN_HUSTLA]

uh, i have nothing random about me.

 

[TradeNurkicNow]

I hate root beer, candy corn, pumpkin pie, beets, mince meat, cranberry sauce, corn on the cob, toffee and caramel.

I drink between 6-8 cups of coffee/tea a day (lol grad school)

I got my first cell phone 2 years ago.

I've never been in a relationship that didn't last at least 2 years.

I know almost nothing about cars, and have no desire to. Every car I've owned has been at least 15 years old, cost me under 3k and was a total ghetto-mobile. I completely ignored each one and drove them like shit until they finally broke down. Thank god for Japanese cars that will drive for a year without changing the damn thing's oil.

Other than that, I'm fat. But normal.

I hear you. I'm always amazed that people spend so much money, time and thought on transportation. It'd be more rational if we were living back in the 1980's when pretty much all cars broke down at 100k miles, but anymore they seem to drive forever. And when they do break down you generally can see it coming, so you don't get stranded.

Anymore I tend to buy $5k to $6k cars because they tend to be more comfortable (AC/radio/power windows still work and the seat isn't shot.) But I could go back to $3k cars without really sweating it much.

Another reason I really, really hate the new Cash for Clunkers program. You get the government buying up all the $3500 cars, and it drives up the price of the cars remaining. Single most indefensible thing the Democrats have done this year, IMO.

I am a computer nerd rapper who wants to be a country singer.
I am a single father of an amazing little boy.
His mother is a dirty whore.
I like turtles.

Did you used to have the moniker "DrexlersDad"?

 

[dpc]

I go to school for Zoology at North Dakota State.

I too also could care less about cars. I know nothing about them and want to know nothign about them

When I was 10 I was hit and ran over by a car. It shattered my right tibia and fibula, at one part where the bones came out of the skin. It raised my eye socket a bit on the right side, and I can't see great out of my right eye. The doctor wanted to cut my leg off right when he saw it, but they managed to put it together using a external fixator. I have scars on my leg that are so damaged underneath I can't even touch them.

I would have no problems calling the authorities on my best friend or parents if I knew they were into animal abuse of any sort.

My family was homeless for nine months in Porltand before we moved to Minneapolis.

I was given the gift of impression, but rarely use it.

 

[superdeluxe]

I won a apple pie eating compeition

 

[BTOWN_HUSTLA]

i won the smile contest at ramblin' rod.

Nope. I have had many past usernames though! All the way back at BBF too. Ed O. knows who I am.

I tend to spend very little money on transportation (my daily driver is a 1991 BMW I bought a long time ago for around $3,500) - but a lot more money on "toy" cars. My "new" Alfa (if you can call a 40 years old car - new) is going to be my track toy. It replaces a Lotus 7 clone (looks like a bathtub on wheels) that I built around 9 years ago.

 

[Colonel Ronan]

- I used to be a big American Football fan but I randomly lost interest.
- I can only drink freezing water. If I drink warm or room temperature water it just doesn't work out. I also can't drink water in the mornings.
- I rarely finish my energy drinks.
- I've never played a sport for my high school but I've been playing football (soccer) competitively for eleven years.
- I moved from west London to Northern Virginia when I was eleven and I consider Virginia to be my true home.
- Some people say that I look like the "young Bob Dylan."
- I love animals. I've always had a household pet living with me.
- My musical taste tend to change every two or three years. At first I loved heavy metal, then classic rock, then indie, reggae, and now I'm stuck in a hip-hop/rap phase (the good kind!)

 

[mobes23]

I have attended an Englebert Humperdink concert. Older women were throwing their panties at him. It was crazy stuff.

I was in bowling leagues throughout my childhood and still have my own ball and bag.

I once accidentally cut into a natural gas line on (of all days) the 4th of July and somehow survived.

I hate bananas. Can't even stand the smell of 'em.

I've been skydiving. Once. And don't need to do it again.

I have never seen a Monty Python movie. It's not that I've avoided it, but it just hasn't happened. Of course, I've also made no strong affirmative effort to see one.

When the Cubs were up three games to one in the 2003 NLCS, I bought nonrefundable tickets to Chicago to see the World Series. I watched the World Series from a bar in Wrigleyville as it was played in Florida.

Damn, that's cool. I always thought I had what it takes, but lived on the other side of the mountains and never got on the Ramblin' Rod show.

I actually won another contest they did that day, just a clean sweep!!!!

I wonder what happened to DD? He was hilarious. You remind me of him. Sorry for the confusion.

Maybe he's just taking a break in the off-season. I've seen him around a bit recently.

 

[ucatchtrout]

I was on the very first Ramblin Rod show.

I hated Ramblin Rod. He replaced a guy named Addy Bobkins, who was very popular and gave away cool toys and stuff on his show. We go thinking we are going to be on his show and there is this other lame dude instead who is quite full of himself, and never pays attention to us kids unless the camera is on. Instead of getting toys or GOOD candy and other stuff we got one crappy piece of hard candy and went home pissed off and feeling ripped off.

 

[Shooter]

- I wrote a really, really bad novel.

I remember several years ago, someone on bbboards.net or one of the earlier incarnations of "us" wrote a novel and published a link to it on his posts. Was that you? As I recall, it was pretty well written.
