Yesterday I realized that out of all my posts there’s something you guys have never heard about me, yet most people who knows me IRL would probably know this. That’s what this thread is for, contribute your own.
I am a fanatical domino player. When I say I play everyday, I’m being absolutely litteral. I’m very good and play just about every day, since January I’d say that there may have been only 14 days when I haven’t played. I play both American and European style. There is a group of about 6 friends including my wife with whom I play regularly, and I occasionally wil enter competitions provided I know I’ll be in town to participate.
I have a small hole in my ear, right above your average ear-hole. (Jeez that sounds weird.) It’s been there since I was born, just some kind of freak bodily occurence. Most of the people on my floor are in a funk today, so I stuck the pointy end of a pushpin in the hole and walked out in the lobby. I convinced them that I am working on a new kind of ear-piercing. You should have seen the looks I got. :eek: mostly. They’re convinced I need to walk across the street to the hospital and have my ear checked out. Someone has even remarked that my brain is slowly going to leak out. (Which, in my case, is probably possible.)
New? Okay. It ain’t 'zackly 'bout me, but it is new.
As a resultant implication, initiation of critical subsystem development presents extremely interesting challenges to the total system rationale. With respect to specific goals, the characterization of specific criteria is functionally equivalent and parallel to the philosophy of commonality, as well as, standardization. Conversely, the product configuration baseline recognizes other systems’ importance and the necessity for possible bi-directional logical relationship approaches. In particular, the product assurance architecture maximizes the probability of project success, yet minimizes cost and time required for the subsystem compatibility testing.
Furthermore, from a linguistic, as opposed to, a mere technical, perspective, the above can be restated thusly, though no less succinctly: In the discussion of presumptive pronouns following (81), an important property of these three types of EC is not quite equivalent to the parallel philosophy inherent in the strong generative capacity of the theory; the weak generative capacity of the theory, nonetheless is congruent in all measurable respects. To characterize a linguistic level L, the appearance of parasitic gaps in domains relatively inaccessible to ordinary extraction is unspecified with respect to a corpus of utterance tokens upon which conformity has been defined by the paired utterance test. By combining adjunctions and certain deformations, a subset of English sentences interesting on quite independent grounds is, apparently, determined by the traditional practice of grammarians. I suggested that these results would follow from the assumption that the theory of syntactic features developed earlier may remedy and, at the same time, eliminate the levels of acceptability from fairly high (e.g. (99a)) to virtual gibberish (e.g. (98d)).
Bet y’all didn’t know that I can play the piano (took lessons for 10 years), the trumpet, and I can sing… just not in front of people 'cause I’m too embarassed to.
Hmm… something that you guys don’t know about me… let’s see…
I like the Guinness Book of World Records, and even watched the “Guinness World Records: Primetime” TV show when it was on. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be on anymore.
I have a pretty good collection of Led Zeppelin bootleg records, including two picture discs, and a recording of their last rehearsal right before Bonzo died.
Flamsterette_X I think it’s on on PAX, hosted by Dean Cain. I know I see a commercial for it everyday, and the wife is normally watching PAX about that time.
I haven’t told you anything about myself so far. What makes you think I should start now ? Do you always start with the personal questions so soon after meeting a stranger ?
OK. This is not the Pit so I shouldn’t start ranting (I have learned something).
My name, Canyon Surfer, I know that what you really want to know about me is how come I got such an unusual name.
Tha answer is boring. I just love the Utah, Arizona, 4 corners part of the country.
The show you’re thinking of is practically the same thing, Ripley’s Believe it or Not. All sorts of world records and oddities and stunts and such. I think it’s on TBS- “The Superstation”
But you already knew that.
Something new, something new… Oh yeah, I have a 19 inch monitor that makes me feel dizzy if I take my glasses off and stare at it for a bit.
Uh, I have a lizard eyeing me like I dared to give him some sort of food he doesn’t like, though he loves it.
Let’s see, I also have two Weeping Willows in my front yard, and six Bradford pear trees scattered about.
There are eleven floppies on my computer desk right now: 2 lemony-colored ones; 2 green ones; 2 orange ones; 2 maroonish ones; two purpley-blue ones and a single black one.
