So you've got that going for you, which is nice.

So far this is the most shocking revelation in this thread.

there is an entire world? seriously?


at work, I frequently don't know what's going on.

[HotDogWater]

I once advertised on Craigslist for a manscape. Never got it.

[purplehorseshoe]

I can no longer speak my own first language, and only remember a few words of it.

[Chefguy]

I shook hands with then-President Clinton and his wife.

[EmilyG]

I was on TV with Joni Mitchell.

[Filbert]

I once sang 'I'm a little teapot' in a sweat lodge, along with 6 half-naked Maori guys.

[chela]

ummmm I am a bit obsessed with rocks at the moment.

I don't like most people.

Makes your first post a little misleading.

LOL. Yeah, I can see how that reads. Perhaps I should have said "I have a big heart for those I care about."

[Saint Cad]

As the OP, I guess I can say that everyone gets a second one considering you were all good and kept it to one per post.

Second thing about me:
On two completely separate occassions with two different women, I've been engaged to them before going on a date with them. No mail-order brides or arranged marriages involved.

Could you explain?

[Lukeinva]

On February 24, 2008 I had a hole in one. Heritage Hunt #11.

[moejoe]

Um, I fell asleep during sex once.

[j666]

I may have saved people lives two or three times, but don't have interesting stories about it.

I once lived in a hotel for 3 months.

In college our chorus performed Dave Brubeck's The Light in the Wilderness, with Dave Brubeck.

OK, that makes sense. I can blow a conch shell.

Now that the OP has said that we can tell another thing, not only can I blow a conch shell, I've had sex on a running Harley. Don't do this at home, kids. Its painful falling off and having guy and bike land on you. Go to a park and try it on grass.

[Koxinga]

I gotta poop.

Back in 10 minutes.

[AaronX]

Sometimes, my ears will unconsciously move in response to sudden sounds.

[Gagundathar]

I sang solo on stage for the President of Brazil and 3500 other people.

[DrumBum]

Minha segunda coisa:

I play drums in a band here in Luanda. We have played on an offshore platform and at several embassy parties, including a 4th of July bash at the US embassy.

[Colophon]

I have never carved a Halloween pumpkin lantern, but intend to change that this year. (Was that two things?)

[elbows]

I have had an Aye Aye walk up my arm, and sit on my shoulder.

This . . . everything except that our 25th anniversary will be next month.

[Elendil's Heir]

I attended both the 1977 and 1985 National Boy Scout Jamborees.

I taught myself (with instruction books) to play cello.

To a Royal Conservatory of Canada Grade 6 level.

But were you only eight years old?

[Sicks Ate]

A month ago, the Federal building in downtown Kansas Ciity was shut down due to a terrorist/bomb scare. It was a misunderstanding.

Part of my job this week is to work on looking in to the events that led up to this.

[Czarcasm]

I've read every book written by Asimov, Heinlein and Ellison(so far).

I started re-reading Heinlein - really enjoying them - fun to read.

[Scribble]

I'm not very interesting.

[Nerdessence]

In my thirty-three years of life, I have never consumed even one alcoholic beverage.

(My list of "never haves" is a mile long, but I'm only allowed to share one. )

You two should really hook up.

[Spiderman]

I made a snow angel...in my bathing suit (on the beach on New Year's Day).

I played bass and was the principal lyricist in a high school garage band in the early 70s. We called ourselves The Baja Brigade.

[panache45]

I've mentioned this in the past, but I think it's worth mentioning again.

I walked in on Alan Greenspan, who was sitting on the toilet in Ayn Rand's bathroom.

[GuanoLad]

The first time I ever appeared on national television, you couldn't see me at all. I was a puppeteer.

[notquitekarpov]

I sat next to Nile Rodgers on my last transatlantic flight, founder of Chic and producer for Diana Ross, David Bowie and Madonna.

Cool dreads, man, but also terminal cancer. The things people share just for being sat next to each other....

Oh, here is where he was heading for...

Men hit on me in planes.

My name is in space.

In the 1990's, NASA invited people to submit their names to be engraved on several microchips that were then attached to the Stardust spacecraft, which was to sample dust from the tail of a comet and then send those samples back to earth. I and 1.3 million of my close friends submitted our names, which were then launched in 1999. One set of chips returned to earth in 2004 with those samples, but the other set will remain out there forever. It's not as cool as being one of the engineers who designed the Voyager spacecraft, but it's still pretty cool knowing that I have personally affected something millions of miles away.

[tdn]

I recently became good friends with a homeless person. I hate that she's homeless. So does she. We're going on a picnic tomorrow.

I should probably help her find a job.

I am a Mayflower descendant on my mother's side, but neither she nor my grandmother knew this.

Hey, me too, but on one of the Mars rovers, through a Planetary Society offer.
