Okay, I have another one: I’m the only Doper who **genuinely doesn’t care** whether or not you like me. ---

At least you’re married or I’d _never_ be able to tell the difference. ---

AFAIK, I’m the only doper who has: [li] worked as a traveling carny.[/li][li] got her car stuck after accidently backing over her ex-boyfriend’s trash can.[/li][li] been bitten by a screech-owl.[/li][li] lost a toenail to an angry swan.[/li] had a vulture throw up in her car. ---

Hmmmm… I think I’m the only Doper with the entire Martin Amis collection, all first editions. I’m the only Doper who had a guitar lesson from Kurt Cobain. The only Doper with a quote from **Crunchy Frog’s** book in her sig, the only one who broke her leg getting thrown off a horse, and who has walked the base paths of Wrigley Field. ---

I am the only Dope who is a Star Trek fan. I am the only Doper who thinks **Jarbay** is a hottie. ---

I’m the only Doper who is, or at least is not ashamed of admitting/proclaiming that he is, a Bolshevik. I’m the only Doper with an EyeMouth. AFAIK, I’m the only Doper who’s ever been to Uzbekistan. I’m definitely not the only Boston Terrier fan on the boards, which is why **Bad News Baboon** is high on my “you rock” list. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by BlueMoonofKentucky \* > I think that I’m the only Bluegrass Music fan here. I like Bluegrass! This despite hours and hours of listening to [Jubilee](http://www.ket.org/cgi/db/dmps/programs?id=JUBI) being edited across the hall. I have shaken Bill Monroe’s hand. I am the only Doper who writes for educational television, perhaps. I can name all of Kentucky’s 120 counties (only two states have more) and provide the name of a town in each (well, most of the time). I am the only Doper with a yearbook at home which contains a photograph of Tom Cruise as a high-school sophomore. (And also of my husband as a junior.) ---

I think I’m the only Doper who lives in Pinellas County, Florida. I’m the only Doper who drives a Sentra SE-R. I haven’t heard anyone else who says they like **bis** , one of my favorite bands. Same goes for **The Supreme Beings of Leisure**. I’m probably the only one who has had gravel thrown at him by an angry squirrel at Lake Seminole Park. I am _not_ the only Doper nursing a little crush on **Esprix**. ---

AFAIK, I’m the only doper who’s a film archivist, who was born in Ecuador, or who graduated from the same alma mater as his father 63 years later. ---

I believe I’m the only Doper who’s ever impaled himself on a bamboo stake. I believe I’m the only Doper who has received an offer from **jarbaby** of being his personal whore. \ I believe I’m the only Doper who’s managed to dislocate his shoulder… playing volleyball, for Chrissake. I believe I’m the only Doper originally from Antioch, Illinois.
