This is not a blatant rip-off of [Jester’s](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=84658) thread - rather it was inspired by my poor eyesight and dirty glasses.  
[sub]Plus I figure it’s a chance to hear some really juicy stories.[/sub]

Sometimes I don’t think a new episode of _The Simpsons_is funny until I’ve seen it a second time.

In elementary school, I ate some soap a friend was carving thinking it was white chocolate. Now I no longer like white chocolate.

I really like the way new shoes make me taller for a few days. Given an unlimited budget, I’d throw shoes out as soon as my shod height slipped back under 6’ 1".

Is there a bulk discount?

I cried at the end of _Pay It Forward_.

I still have a copy of The Color Purple that I accidentally brought to college with me in 1992 instead of returning it to the library.

I think **thinksnow** is absolutely adorable.

Bless me **FairyChatMom** for I am sinning. I am playing on the SDMB when I should be working. I can’t help it, I have voices, and this is more fun than telling suppliers how to run their businesses. OK, that’s kinda fun, too.

Am I going to Hell?

Sometimes I have naughty thoughts about certain Dopers…about three of them actually. I want to see them naked and run my tongue…I’ll stop there.  
What is my penance? How many Hail Mary’s?

I think guys that look like Jesus usually does in artists’ renderings are HOT.

I’m also madly in love with someone who doesn’t look a HECK of a lot like above description.

Me too.

I’ve never seen anything “Monty Python” and I think that the previews for “Flying Circus” (or whatever) look really stupid.

I liked “Grapes of Wrath”. Except that really long chapter devoted entirely to the turtle crossing the road. I thought that was pretty stupid.

This is rather difficult for me to say. You realize I’ve never told anyone these things ever.

I often buy a ton of hair care products for my GF. I’ll get hair straightener, hair dye, conditioner, gel, spray, etc. The truth is, although I tell everyone the stuff is for my GF, it’s really all for me.

Same deal with the Biore strips.

I lied that day in the elevator: I _did_ know what that smell was. I had Taco Bell for lunch. Some nights I wake up and can still hear the screaming.

I used to write papers for people in college and grad school for money.

Hey, I like to write, and the money was pretty good.

I hate Faulkner. The famous author, not anyone else named Faulkner. I hate Faulkner so much I can’t even remember what his first name is.

It’s William, **Ferggie.** And he doesn’t exactly float my boat, either.

But I really, _really_ don’t like Hemingway. I tried, but I just couldn’t do it. Sorry.

Well, since we’re getting things off our chests…

I stole several dollars out of my little sister’s piggybank when I was 12 and she was 6.

I added two points to a student’s final grade to make it a D- instead of an F.

I refused to feed my roommate’s dog when she went off with the flavor-of-the-month boyfriend, and let it go hungry for several days in order to force her to look after it herself.
