I don’t want to be a normal Pope. I want there to be a schism in the church, and for the cardinals of the breakaway faction to make me what the mainstream church would consider an anti-Pope.
I suspect that would happen if i were made pope. I mean, I’m a married female Jew. That would make big waves. Probably schizmatic waves.
I wasn’t sure what to do with the ramen poll. Sometimes, i use chopsticks and then slurp the broth. Often, i use chopsticks and a spoon. I’m sure I’d manage with a fork and spoon. I don’t think I’ve ever tried just a fork.
I’m not sure what I’d do as pope, but I’m sure it would probably involve maniacal laughter.
Well, I have never been bitten by a tick, nor have any of my pets, but no one in Socal can go outside (except maybe at the beach) during the seasons without having their legs bitten by “ankle biter” aedes mosquitoes.
And world wide, mosquito borne diseases are extremely deadly.
I read an article that said that altho mosquitoes are critical species, the few ones that bite humans could be eradicated with much harm.
I owed one of those yellow raincoats to walk to school, etc. And when I got older, my dad got me an army field coat for scouting. Those were very nice.
I met the Pope and was blessed by him.
Mind you, he was not the RC pope. Pope Tawadros II when he visited the USA.
I’d like to hear what some of the NOTA moving violations were-I scoured several police web sites and Wikipedia to try to cover all the bases, but some more obscure ones I guess I missed.
My earliest memory seems to be my mom taking my temperature. Not sure why.
I got a ticket for “running” a red light on my bicycle. I sat in the turn lane waiting for the light to change, then finally assessed that there was no traffic and went. A police officer was apparenty given the “aren’t you gonna o something?” glare by a woman nearby and chased me down. Does that count?
I have been stopped for violations multiple times in my life but have almost always either been given a warning or done traffic school (ticket expunged). The one moving violation I had and paid the fine was for speeding (~125 MPH but knocked down to 10 MPH over the limit by the officer). It was the early 70’s and traffic school was not an option.
The BS NOTA for me was being ticketed for wearing headphones while driving. My radio/tape deck (it was the mid 80’s) had gone out and it was being repaired, so I had a Walkman for music.
I would have fought that ticket! Many lights can’t be tripped by a bicycle, and so would literally never change. From your perspective, it’s broken, and in that case it seems like you clearly followed the mandated procedure of coming to a complete stop, ascertaining it was safe to go, and then proceeding.
I think I already said mine – expired inspection sticker. Maybe that’s a state-by-state thing?
I think I may have worn some sort of tie with my Brownie uniform, but if so I don’t remember what it was.
Thats is BS.
Not so much BS, since you cant hear sirens, but IMHO a warning would be better.
Mt BS ticket was running a stop sign on a residential street, very late at nite. I brought in several pictures to show that the sign was obscured by trees, but I didnt have to show them- the judge just accepted my word and dismissed the ticket.
I used to be able to tie a Tie two ways but since we hardly ever wear them, it is down to one.
Earliest memory was age 4. I was in a cemetery in Taipei with my family. I was maybe fifty feet ahead of my parents and they kept telling me to slow down and wait for them, but I was determined to climb up the stairs and maintain as far distance ahead as I could, treating it as a race.
My girl scout (or maybe Brownie) uniform had a tie, and my father taught me how to tie it. I also learned how to tie a bowtie somewhere. I often tie other people’s bowties art weddings.
I remember my family singing to me on my 3rd birthday, the cake with candles. My dad grabbed my sippy cup and wrote “Squeegee 3” on it in marker. That’s probably why I remember, I used that cup forever, it was “my” cup.
My earliest memory is from when I was 3. My family moved to a new house, and I had to ask where the bathroom was several times. I think I was annoyed that I had to keep asking
My first memory is of being at a playground and my brother refusing to go on the seesaw with me. It’s not a totally bad memory, though, because we were at a playground.
The only ticket I’ve ever gotten was for 27 in a construction zone. I’d turned onto the street from a side street, past where the actual work was going on and just beyond the construction speed limit sign. The limit on the street is usually 35, and I was accelerating. After I got the ticket, I realized it was a speed trap, but that’s how it goes. I went to traffic school rather than pay the huge enhanced fine.
I can tie a Pratt, a four-in-hand, and a bow. It usually takes two tries to tie the bow, as my first attempt is nearly always a granny knot.
I’d gotten one of the Samsung flip phones last year. I’d always used the Note phones. Now I have a phone with a large screen that fits in my pocket.
I’ve had a few speeding tickets, but always did the driver safety course to get it quashed so it didn’t affect my insurance. The last time was about fifteen years ago, when I got a ticket for doing 67 in a 55 MPH zone. I somehow never noticed that the speed limit dropped on that section of highway, and I drive it semi-frequently.
When red-light cameras were still legal I got a ticket for making a right without coming to a complete stop. This was a BS ticket, and there had been newspaper stories about that same intersection. Evidently the camera was incorrectly aimed. The stop line was very far back, so after coming to a stop you have to roll forward about 15 feet to see oncoming traffic before completing the turn. I took two newspaper clippings to court with me and the ticket was dismissed. If not for the notoriety of that intersection I would have had to pay the fine or do another safety course.
Are equipment tickets really a moving violation(‘points’ on license or insurance consequences) in some places? In Texas they are not, and you can just take your repair receipt - in my case an Autozone receipt that I bought the apprpriate new bulb - to a JP court and it is dimissed, though I don’t know what happens if you don’t make the repairs.
I am technically eligible to be elected Pope, but I would not want the headaches 
I have worn all of those varieties of necktie, plus an ascot.
My tie-knot capabilities include four-in-hand, half Windsor, and full Windsor. It’s been years since I tied a bow tie and I can’t remember how at the moment.
My cell phone is in my left rear pocket when I wear jeans, and in a front left pocket if I’m wearing shorts with extra pockets(usually cargo shorts). Most of the time I either forget to carry it or consciously leave it in my truck.
As always, if I didn’t bother to put those non-points violations in, someone would be screaming that “Hey, you forgot X!” They’re still ticketable/fineable, so count for the purposes of the poll in question.
Note to self: Wait until you’re actually pope to steeple your fingers and maniacally laugh.
