Although I graduated salutatorian of my class in law school, I graduated last in my class in high school and almost flunked out. 2. Once in college I won almost $50,000 at blackjack during a weekend in Vegas. 3.

I’ve never been to Vegas and never gambled more than the slots, and didn’t have the sense to quit when I was ahead on those. > [@](#): > > \*\*3. I am covered with large, hideous tattoos, including a sleeve of a tornado demolishing a trailer park running from my left shoulder to my elbow. \*\* True, although “hideous” is, of course, a bit over the top. My best friend and the guitar player of my band in college was an art major in college, and I got a number of large tattoos from him. This made me quite the eccentric in law school. > [@](#): > > \*\*4. Like approximately 1 out of every 100 Americans, including actor Donnie Wahlberg, I have a third nipple. \*\* False. Just the two.

The word I missed was “forficiform”, an adjective meaning scissor-shaped. \*\* False. Although “forcicform” is an adjective meaning scissor shaped (and is on the Scripps-Howard spelling bee list), I never missed it in the Scripps-Howard or any other spelling bee. > [@](#): > > \*\*6. I have both danced the role of the Nutcracker Prince and been the lead singer of a hardcore band. \*\* True. I once did both at the same time. Okay, not really. ---

Oops, I thought this thread wasn’t coming back… Well, **Pravnik** and **Ellen Cherry** both got (the same) two right, not bad 🙂 1. Despite having stage fright, I once auditioned for an improv comedy group. **True**. I didn’t get in, nor did I expect to, but it provided a nice distraction in an otherwise angst-filled college day. But you don’t want to hear about that… 2. One of my aspirations is to tend bar in a place like Coyote Ugly **False**. I don’t usually drink, and couldn’t make someone else a drink to save my life. 3. My mother has yet to memorize my birthdate. **True**. Her excuse is that because my birthday is the day after my dad’s she can’t keep them straight, but my baby brother figured it out by the time he was nine or ten, so it still makes me sad. Dad is older, and his birthday is first, how hard is that to remember? 4. Some of my dreams have been described in a book about dreams. **True**. The book is called " The 12" Baby That Fried an Omlet and other crazy dreams" by Richard Cadway. 5. I play guitar in a band called Beer is Not a Sex Crime. **False**. Unfortunately I have no musical talent. Therefore, Beer is Not a Sex Crime remains only a band that some of my story characters play in. The name comes from something said in a SD thread, btw. 6. My family cooks moose on special occasions, like memorial day. **False**. None of the 10,000+ moose in this state is likely to find its way into our kitchen. Game is one of the meat groups I don’t eat from. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-well-do-you-know-me-the-doper-fun-facts-game/156767.md?page=4)
