But I’m likely the only Doper that has made other peoples pickles (I worked in a pickle and olive factory.) I think I’m not the only former dairy farmer, but has anyone else been a kosher food supervisor? Or worked in a meat processing factory? Or sold vegetarian hot dogs at street fairs? ---

…the only Doper to perform on the stage of the Royal Albert Hall to sell-out crowds on multiple occasions. …the only Doper to appear on prime-time television in over a dozen countries. …the only Doper to be an announcer/DJ for Nebraska Public Radio. …the only Doper to have a private conversation with Kurt Vonnegut Jr. …the only Doper to own a [Gideon Freudmann](http://www.cellobop.com/index.html) CD.

Damn, I didn’t realize that Nymysys and I were…well, basically twins. But she gets to work at a restaurant…which I miss very much. I think I’m the only confirmed Germaniac (since I’m the one who does the confirming of that fact) on the boards. And if I’m not the only one, I’m the most outspoken. And unfortunately, I think I’m the only rabid Rammstein fan And I think I’m the only doper who made goulash for Fugazi ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by jarbabyj \* > **And unfortunately, I think I’m the only rabid Rammstein fan.** \ I’m listening to Mutter right now. 🙂 ((Okay, so maybe I’m not a **rabid** fan.)) At 6’5-1/2", I might possibly be the tallest doper, but I doubt it. I’m the only doper who knows where _ **all** _ of **Serendipity** ’s beauty marks are. 😃 [sub]At least, I better be.

I’m the only doper, AFAIK, that was born in backwoods Appalachia, and has lived in two of the larger metro areas in the US (New Orleans and ATL), who then chose to move away from Atlanta to live in eastern Tennessee. I think that I’m the only Bluegrass Music fan here. I’m Prob’ly the only person here that was born with a serious Cleft palate-Cleft lip. ergo-I’m Probably the only one to have a major knee reconstruction AND major facial reconstruction I’m likely to be the only Doper with a chihuahua whose name was inspired by Carl Sagan. ---

I thought my username was unique and that I was the only one, it seems that there are two more of me out there. I collect pens, specifically fountain pens. I drive a red Thunderbird Turbo Coupe with 152,000 km, who else can say that? I really like Lyle Lovett’s music. I own the Robert Johnson boxed set. There must be more but despite how unique I am most of it would be pretty boring to the rest of you. I have a twelve inch Johnson. Actually I don’t but hearing that makes Lola smile. I am the only Doper who gets to snuggle with Lola every night, yes… you can all be jealous. ---

I think I’m the only amatuer belly dancer here. I’m almost positive that I’m the only belly dancer who’s performed at a dope fest! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Bumbazine \* > \*\*AFAIK, I’m the only Doper to have circumnavigated the globe. \*\* Was it going east or west? Sorry to pop your bubble, but I circumnavigated the globe, going west. It took me two years (1994-1996). Approximately the same length of time it took Magellan’s crew. ---

I’m probably the only Doper who’s thrown a telephone at the head of an attorney from the largest law firm in Philadelphia. I seem to be the only Doper who owns a Cadillac that’s older than he is. I’m definitely the only Doper who has ridden a folded cafeteria table down two flights of high school stairs (long story). I know for sure that I’m the only Doper who’s dangled from scaffolding on just below the roof of the Pennsylvania Senate chamber. Regards, Zappo ---

I’m the only Doper whose first post on his 30th birthday was his 1000th post. Also, I’m the only _male_ Doper who has belly danced at a Dopefest, AFAIK.
