I have an excellent sense of taste, yet no sense of smell. AFAIK, I’m the only one with a scrotum piercing. I’m the only one with the world’s worst pic of thinksnow that is considering blackmail 🙂 I’m the only one who has ever made fun of TM when she’s having her “off” week of the month and survived the beating to tell about it. I am an incredible cook, yet totally incapable of making Kraft mac & cheese. I used to race snomobiles in snow-cross and cross-country events. ---

I’m the only doper here with a set of 1200’s and a Vestax Pro Scratch Mixer, who can loop a sublime beat manually while at the same time dropping samples and scratches into the mix, and do it behind my back. Wanna battle? You must be crazy! DaLovin’Dj ---

Although I haven’t this year, I make dills and bread n’ butter pickles, as well as pickled carrots and beets. \*\* Shame you didn’t this year. We could trade jars. OK how about this, I am the only Doper who has eaten chentimboca, which is essentially deep fried minnows. And if I am not, I want to hear how you happened to discover this strange delicacy. In my case it was a cousin from Croatia for whom this was a family favorite. ---

> [@](#): > > Am I the only Straight Dope Frank Zappa fan? Nope AFAIK I’m the only doper to thru-hike the appalachian trail I’m the only doper (or person for that matter) with the tattoo I have on my right arm. I’m the only doper who has sent the entire contents of his apartment to his parents by UPS I’m the only doper to be named after a character in winnie the pooh (Christopher Robin) I’m the only doper to have worked in the eating disorder section of a rehab and if that doesn’t work, I’m the only doper listening to nickel creek while composing a post to this thread. ---

Well it appears that everything “unique” about me is shared with at least one other doper. Does that mean that what makes me a unique doper is that I am so clearly not unique? ---

I’m the only one here who pays any attention to my posts. I’m definitely the only one here who ever almost knocked himself out with a bag of TaterTots. I’m almost certainly the only one here to have a bear fall out of a plum tree in front of him. I’m probably the only one here who ever blew up an anthill with an M-250 (quarter-stick of dynamite). I may be the only one here who ever used his cigarette to shoot down a “Great American Smokeout” balloon in front of the college health class that had just released it.
