I get the feeling my life story isn’t interesting.
What’s yours? Let’s see who has had the most interesting life.

I’m not sure about that. You really have to wonder what the hell happened in life to to Slug to make him draw that shit.

I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.

Darn you I was about to say that.
And it’s my own thread.

I once went to an exhibition titled “The history of damp proofing in the 1960’s” in a library in Norwich. That was rather interesting.

I sometimes sit around and talk with older people in thier 80’s or even 90’s. Thier lives eem so much more interesting because of the hardships and changes they went through I guess. I am 65 and I doubt one person on the planet would be interested in reading about my life, including me. I have a few good stories but could easily relay all of them over and evening of drinking.

If I may introduce myself, I’m a man of wealth and taste. I’ve been around for a long, long time I have stolen many a man’s soul and faith. I was around when Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain. In fact I made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate.
I was hanging around St. Petersburg and I could see it was a time for a change. So I killed the Czar and his ministers. Anastasia screamed in vain. I rode a tank, I held a general’s rank when the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank.
But other than that just the usual shit.

Just interesting? Hell, a doctor once said that I was fascinating when I told him a little about my life.
I was both happy and a little worried. I guess that being fascinating is good, but that it came from a doctor doing a psychiatric evaluation…maybe not so good.

If my life were less interesting I might have avoided that spinal cord damage.

I’ve had such an interesting life that I no longer remember what my life story is.

There was something about an asteroid, my birthing chamber and a nearby M-class planet, but I forget the details.

The most “interesting” lives I’ve experienced are people who are big risk takers, people who are on the margins of life, and for whatever reason people without money who are physically attractive (especially women) who seem to get themselves into a bunch of weird situations.

I enjoy stories about dedication or even obsession with a passion when the end result is successful.
