As 2nd baseman in high school, I was drafted by the Kansas City Royals but never signed a professional contract.
I served 4 years active duty in the Air Force and am still a reservist now holding the rank of Captain.
In the military, I qualified as a marksman with the M-16, hitting 36 out of 40 on the firing range.
I broke my tooth working in a haunted forest one Halloween when I jumped from a tree with a chainsaw.
In my lifetime, I have met Ozzie Smith, Mohammad Ali, Brain Setzer, Willie McGee, Lou Ferigno, and Stephen King.
I have a collection of 34 autographed baseballs which includes Hall of Famers Nolan Ryan, Joe DiMaggio, Stan Musial, Mickey Mantle, and Johnny Bench just to name a few.
I’m no good at figuring out others but let’s see how well y’all do with me.[list=#][]I was once stationed at the Naval Air Station in Millington, TN.[]I visited both the 1982 and 1984 World’s Fairs[]I’ve ridden on St. Charles Avenue streetcars in New Orleans.[]I had to take a short IQ test in high school and it turned that the testers’ chart didn’t go high enough for me.[]I once took the entrance exam for the DC Metropolitan Police.[]I’ve been an employee of the US Federal Government since 1989.[/list]
Don’t have a driving license and have never driven a car in my life. I am, however, shit-hot behind the wheel of a golf cart (I define shit-hot as meaning ‘going as fast as I can and if you get in my way then I’ll run you over because braking is for wimps’).
Don’t eat sea bugs (aka prawns and shrimp) and shellfish are jumped-up snails with good PR. Fish are just nasty critters and when I rule the world my first task will be to fill the oceans with concrete.
Used to work at fairgrounds (carnivals in the US), but never at the circus.
Was a bouncer at a West Indian nightclub in Nottingham.
Spent many years as a jobbing digger and have an HND in Practical Archaeology, but don’t have a degree. Sneeky question, huh? Neener, neener.
I would rather eat puke.
Tripler, Crunchy Frog and jjimm only got one right.

Me now. [ol][]Was involved in 3 shootouts before the age of 20.[]Grew up in a household where the religion practiced is a form of Voodoo.[]Can benchpress 300 lbs.[]Once got into a fistfight with Easy-E.[]Had a dog that chewed his way into a neighbor’s apartment, crapped on his carpet and wouldn’t let him in for 3 hours.[]Makes the best homemade pizza ever.[/ol]
By involved I mean involved in running, hiding and answering police questions.
2)It’s called Santeria. If you ask the practitioners, they’ll all tell you that they are Catholic. Yea, if Catholism involves animal sacrifice, worshipping craven images and magic.
I am a liscenced plumber in the state of NJ and have my own side business doing interior plumbing.*
False. I know how to to some general emergency plubming (a line in your house springs a leak), but I am not liscensed do to any work.
2. I have a side construction buisness with only one employee: myself.
True. It’s nothing big, but I build bars, do minor framing, decking, etc.
3. I have been to only two DopeFests: NYC '00 and PorkDope '02.
True. Due to either work, or the fact that I am banished to a cold, frozen wasteland, I don’t get out too much.
4. When I sing karaoke, people tell me I sound like Frank Sinatra.
False. While I try to do Ol’ Blue Eyes, I don’t always sound like him. My friend’s father says I do a good Bobby Darrin, though. . .
5. I was once sent to see a mental health professional because I tend to exhibit ‘self-destructive/dangerous hobbies and recreational activities’.
False. I have never seen a mental health professional, but I have broken a few bones and teeth.
6. I’m currently planning on getting a nice job with the Troop Insurance Agency in New Jersey.
False. I’m getting transferred to Montana, to another Engineer Squadron this July.
Crunchy Frog, you got them half right. Thanks for playing! But we do have a wonderful parting gift for you: The Tripler Game: Home Version from TripCo Inc.
Well, only two people guessed mine, but it’s waaaay up there in the thread, so:

[li]True Was once the best Janet for one of the worst Rocky Horror casts in Texas. You know how Rocky Horror casts are generally gossippy, dramatic, politicy organizations? Well other casts used to gossip about how gossipy, dramatic, and politicy we were. Plus we had a cast director who thought that screen accurate costumes were MUCH more important than interesting performances. :rolleyes: [/li][li]True Was still a virgin when her oldest (step) child was born.* I was only 16 when Anna was born, and still a virgin. [/li][li]True Walked down the aisle with the train of her wedding dress pinned up because she couldn’t get it undone in time. * It wouldn’t come undone![/li][li]False Once ate 10 pounds of crawfish by herself during a pregnancy craving. * I love crawfish, but I’ve never craved it while pregnant. I prefer hotwings and sour candy! * :D[/li][li]False Has never been on an airplane. Actually, I have. I flew to Colorado when I was 6, and France when I was 17. I’m never getting on an airplane again, though. The idea of possibly being searched creeps me out way too much.[/li][li]False Had no idea she was sitting next to a famous soccer player while riding the train from Toulouse to St. Lary while vacationing in France. * I was only sitting next to my best friend, and she don’t play sports.*[/li][/ol]
