It just occured to me, dear - if you speak about them, they’re no longer unspeakable, are they? ---

I’m fairly sure that I am the only one who currently wishes to exhume James Clerk Maxwell, desecrate his remains, and bury them once again under a pile of Photonics textbooks. Ok, so I don’t _really_ want to do that… but I bet none of _you_ were thinking about it, were you 😃 Le Sang ---

I think I’m the littlest adult doper, standing proud at four feet and ten and a half inches. I’m tall on the inside. ---

What makes me unique? I’m the only one with pictures of Gun and Chikki behind the bowling alley. They’re going up on e-bay in an hour. ---

I might very well be the only female doper who has the term “Man” in her username. ---

Well, it’s not my user name, there are about 10 other ‘Blue’ people… I’m not the most prolific poster. I’m not the funniest. Not the tallest or the smallest…Hmm… I’m pretty sure I blend in with the wallpaper. I guess I am just a face in the crowd. Fine by me. 🙂 Rose ---

I am the only one who is an expert at a game that combines chess and checkers. I am the only one who is 18 years old as I make this post, but will be 19 by the time that most of you read it. I am the only who was hit by a car last week. ---

I also own three different versions of John William’s opening theme from **The Towering Inferno**. I also mention that film way too often in casual conversation. I’m also the only person working on a screenplay for a feature film about Operation: Pedestal. ---

I’d be willing to bet I’m the only Doper with three pairs of skis, two snowboards _and_ three full sets of SCUBA gear (regs, octos & computers, BCDs, wet suits (new) and six tanks.) Anyone else drive an Avenger? I’m probably the only one that’s travelled to Europe six times but only been to Holland. ---

I’m the only doper who lived in Khartoum until I was 10. I’m the only doper on the Eastern Shore of Maryland (at least I think I am… there may be lurkers) I’m the only doper who puts soy sauce and Heinz 57 on the same baked potato. I’m pretty sure I’m the only doper who is a CCIM (don’t ask) and sells commercial/industrial real estate. I’m the only doper who collects watches ---

I think I am the only doper Born in Panama. I know I am the only dope to know the true spelling of Alburgh, Vermont. I am the only doper who was ticketed for underage drinking last week only two months before his 21st birthday (grrr!) I bet I am the only doper who argued with Rep. Bernie Sanders from VT. (Funny story. Back in high school I was the perfect little republican, thanks dad, now I agree with most of what Bernie says.) I am the only doper who missed two dopefests this summer. peace, JB [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-makes-you-unique-here/80107.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-makes-you-unique-here/80107.md?page=3)
