Oh, how funny!! I did the same w/ my cousin…I was holding one arm and one leg…spinning and spinning…she was flying up and down…really fast and then,well,she flew right out of my hands…and hit the coffee table…head first!! LOL
She doesn’t seem to hold it against me at this point in our lives…there are lots of people she doesn’t talk to in the family!! LOL
I thought I was the only one that had done something like that!!
I think I’m the only Doper to have met both Stephen King and Allen Ginsberg (sp?)…
I’m sure that I’m the only Doper to have gone canoeing during a harsh thunderstorm in order to rescue three balloons filled with pot seeds!
I know I’m the only Doper to have participated (however briefly) in the making of a Korean monster movie!
I think I’m the only Doper who has stood in N. Korea…
I know I am the Doper who has recovered most smoothly when standing in front of a room full of students and having the fact that my zipper was down pointed out to me… I zipped up, and went on to teach “XYZPDQ” and segued into acronyms… stumped them all when I asked what “laser” and “scuba” meant…
I’m pretty sure I’m the only Doper who has been using beer cans as ashtrays for the past year or so (I dropped and broke my ashtray, and I can’t buy another one because I am supposed to quit smoking sometime, eventually…).
I am probably the only doper who has eaten live waxworms. Several times. And liked it. (They’re also pretty good lightly sauteed, BTW. They taste like slightly nut-flavored shrimp when you cook them.)
I’d make a bet that I’m the only doper who was ever hired to be a phone psychic. (No, I don’t think I’m psychic. I don’t think ESP exists. But I was a sophomore in college at the time, and for the pay they were offering, I was more than happy to be “psychic.” I only lasted 2 days on that job, though. My bosses were phone fascists* [You had to request permission to get up from the phone to use the bathroom. And if they did vouchafe you this opportunity, you were timed. We had a 5-minute limit. No joke.] Not to mention that I felt pretty guilty about working for a psychic phone service; I felt that I was collaborating on a scheme to bilk lots of poor and ignorant people. It was a pretty surreal experience working there, and I learned a lot about the wild ‘n’ crazy world of phone banks and the odd mentalities of people who really do think they have some special extrasensory powers. So I’m not that sorry that I was hired there, but I’m glad I didn’t stay for very long.)
I think I’m the only doper who once lived with 2 people I’ll call “The Urine Twins.” These people refused to use the toilet when they wanted to pee. They said they didn’t want to waste the water consumed by flushing the toilet. Instead, they saved their urine in 50-gallon apple cider jugs kept in their room. What made it worse was that my cieling was their floor, and their floor (my ceiling) was weak. I used to be jolted awake, sweating from fear in the middle of the night, having had the awful nightmare that several 50-gallon glass jugs full of urine had fallen through the cieling and come crashing down my bed.
Like at least couple of others of us, I am a fan of bluegrass music.
I could be the only one going to the Halloween OhDope who doesn’t know what her costume will be yet.
Umm…never mind that last part. I just read the Halloween OhDope thread’s more recent posts. Apparently, several people are trying to figure out what they’re going to dress up as. Nice to know I’m not alone in that.
If he doesn’t know by now that that’s not true…screw it, he’s got to know that’s not true.
Geez, every time you hear that thought in your head, consider yourself reassured, all right already?
Okay, and…uhm…I’m the only Doper who uhmmmm…who is so boring that all three of the “most unique” things she’s posted about herself are incredibly stupid and boring.
Nope: did this at FlintDope this year with…Straingers Guinness can, IIRC (though it may have been Uncle Beers.)
More stuff:[]I’m probably the only Doper to have started a Fraternity. Technically, “re-founded” as the house had closed in 1957, but I was the first new brother.[]I’m probably the only Doper that averages 600 miles/weekend and that the folks at Avis know by name.[]Anyone else have a $50 million liability policy for work?
