Spill Your Guts!!!! It's DU Lounge Secret Time..

[Dying Eagle]

Everyone tell one secret about them selfs to the DU public. I could promise you luck or good fortune, but I can't, so I'll just do it for fun. Don't be shy!!

OK I'll Start...

I am a local Pro Wrestler. Yes, even a smart liberal can enjoy something as mindless as beating the hell out of another person for a $20 a night payday.

P.S. Please no rips about it being a "fake" or "stupid" Sport/Activity. I have multiple injuries that say other wise. It is not as easy as it looks.

[Tom Kitten]

1. actually that is quite impressive

are you ever on tv?

[Dying Eagle]

28. no

I am in a small Indy (independent) Fed. We may look to get on TV down the road, but I'm not counting on it. Plus I have no interest in going to the WWE. I do it just for the fun of it, not for a career.

[Tom Kitten]

33. what part of the country

do you find yourself within the squared circle?

[Dying Eagle]

34. NE Wisconsin

Green Bay, Appleton, Oshkosh area.

[Tom Kitten]

36. oh, ok...

I was hoping it was the northwest, there is quite a rich wrestling heritage here...whatever, I wish you success!

[Dying Eagle]

37. thank you

Better wish me "good heath" as well.....my back hurts right now....

[Tom Kitten]

53. Good health!

watch your back also! I wish you the best...there are a lot of broken down ex pro wrestlers around here and they are not the happiest of people...

[demnan]

2. I have a crush on Eugene Levy

Yes I know he's not good looking, but I like quirky Jewish guys, OK?

[Hissyspit]

51. Too cool...

:-)

And what about the genius of Joe Flaherty?

[Bok_Tukalo]

3. OK

It is almost obscene how cool my job is. I mean, I actually feel guilty sometimes.

[imenja]

60. sounds great

care to say more about what it is?

[RagingInMiami]

4. Do you have any photos or a website?

[Redstone]

5. Well, so what's your wrestling persona?

Are you "The Mighty L-Word, who eats freepers for breakfast" or something?

Redstone

PS: Nothing wrong with rasslin for a sport. I played semipro football many years ago, which is just about as bad for your body, and not very rewarding either. Though I did make $40 per game.

[LynzM]

6. I cheated on a french test in high school

I still feel bad about that one, a little :(

[lenidog]

7. Some might consider this a strange celebrity crush but I have one for

Stockard Channing. Especially after seeing an interview with her and finding out how intelligent she is. What can I say I think intelligence is very sexy.

[elshiva]

68. Stockard Channing is the greatest.

She made Grease bearable with he "Look I'm Sandra Dee" bit. Of course amazing on the West Wing...Reminds me of Momma T

[Elidor]

8. Remind me never to mess with you

I'm just a mild-mannered graphic designer. That's right, I'm a typesetting fiend, so stay back! Back I tell you!

I'm also a lousy disc golfer, even though I play almost every day.

[Liberalynn]

9. My name is Liberalynn and I'm a Book-aholic

Changing my answer here. I can't stop buying books. I have books all over the place, some I haven't even read yet, and I can't seem to stop myself from buying more.

I've been really into the romantic-mystery genre lately like Nora Roberts aka J.D. Robb, etc.

[two gun sid]

10. Do you ever use the sleeper hold?

[Dying Eagle]

31. Yes

I have, but not too often. My Submission is a "modified Dragon sleeper". If anyone else knows what that is i wont feel like such a moron.

[two gun sid]

38. Too cool. I know what that is....

my Dad you to take me to the local rollatorium to see wrestling when I was a kid. Just a bunch of local guys not any big name wrestlers. That shit was fun as hell. Midgets, women, chairs thrown into the ring, drunks screamin' their lungs out.


Does that shit still go on?

[Dying Eagle]

41. HAHAHA

Yeah that sounds about right...let me run down the list...

Midgets (Yes, i trained one), women (Yep, as weirdly attractive as ever), chairs thrown into the ring (And on my Head), drunks screamin' their lungs out ( The classics never die!!!)

[Huckebein the Raven]

58. I do

:hi:

[Droopy]

11. I was busted for drugs when I was 20

Cocaine, pot and under age possession of alcohol all in one shot.

[FuzzySlippers]

12. I'm not really

a pair of casual footwear. OK, my filthy secret's out. Hate me if you must.x(

[orleans]

55. WHAT?????/

...i feel so betrayed....

(:hug:)

[ChoralScholar]

13. One of my eighth grade students

has an obsessive crush on me. Leaving me her phone number and stuff. Creeping me out. This is how teachers lose their jobs.

(I went to the school counselor, she's taking care of it for me)

[imenja]

62. oh yeah, that' s rough

Document everything. I as a habit never close my office door with a student inside, even a female student.

[Deja Q]

14. I've never been with a woman! And that includes the attempted assault!

(yes, some women are so bold. Most men, or even middle/high school boys, probably wouldn't mind. I did. Funny, that. :D Not really funny, I'm gay. Always have been. Makes sense I wouldn't be happy over that day. :7 )

[Robeson]

15. I have a crush on Debbie Travis of HGTV...

Sshhh, don't tell anyone!...

[Kevin Spidel]

16. ok.. here it goes...

i am unapial from the planet upgupia in which the ajsdok will arise from gurtyhuti

[4_Legs_Good]

17. I stole some caps from TG&Y when I was like 6...

and when my mom asked me where I got them, I constructed an elaborate lie. She didn't believe me, but I stood by the lie. I felt so guilty that I told myself next time she asked I would tell the truth.

Here I am 28 years later, and she hasn't asked again, and I STILL - SERIOUSLY - carry the guilt. If I think to much about it it somehow taps the inner child or some wacky thing and I STILL want to cry.

Totally weird.

:cry:

david

[Sannum]

18. I have had extensive plastic surgery

Do you think I have gone too far?


:P

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. I care intensely for a man who is not my husband. You might/could call

it love. And it is NOT someone here on DU...Truly...

[all.of.me]

26. oooooohhhhh...... how romantic! why does that touch me so?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

44. Hi genevat,

Well, thank you for your sentiments. However, it is NOT romantic. He does not share my feelings, as far as I know. In fact, I am prohibited from contacting him, per his request. I am trying to forget him, and am not having any luck doing so. DU is helping fill the void his leaving created. But he will always be part of my mind and I will always care about him...

[all.of.me]

46. ouch. bummer.

i'm sorry!

well, it's his loss. why would he not want you in his life? you are charming and sweet. he loses.

it's hard to move on, though. it takes a lot of time. i hate that part.

hang in there!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. Thank you! It is probably the hardest thing I've EVER had to do...

And so far I am unable. I could not for the life of me figure out what was going on with him when he broke off our friendship. He would NOT say. Some days are much easier than others...

Thank you for your support! It means a whole lot...

I'm hanging in there as much as possible...

:cry:

:hug:

[all.of.me]

48. i had a friend last year who ended it

we were buddies! we spent hours a day together, and so did our kids. people thought we were dating, we were together so much.

one day, i said just the wrong thing, and he ended it. in an EMAIL! what a coward.

but no explanation, just 'i'm outta here.' that was in july, and there are still days......

[CaliforniaPeggy]

50. My heart goes out to you, dear genevat...

How awful for you. Of course you still have days...and you will have them for awhile. It's like a death; it takes so much time to get over.

I'm going to PM you; there are some other things I want to say, privately.

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. I was killed by a Limey in a godforsaken trench in 1918

[tammywammy]

21. In the 2nd grade I stole a dollar in quarters from the desk I sat

in during Math class. We had these machines to buy really cool pencils, and my mom would hardly ever give me money to buy one.
Well, after math was over, I was back in my Language Arts class and my math teacher sent a pink pass to come and see her. I was sure the student told her his money was missing. I was so distraught, that as soon as I saw her, I started crying and handed the quarters over. She knew nothing about this, I had left my book in her room.

That's the only time I've ever stolen anything, my conscience won't allow it.

[Longgrain]

22. Alright, since no one seems to be responding to this thread

And since I know she's not around.

I fess up!

I'm madly in love with another DUer.

And in our case, the feelings are mutual. She PMed me a few times when she was drunk...so I know it's true, even tho I'll probably never have a chance to meet her...:-(

[Wapsie B]

25. That is so cool.

When and how did you both know?

[all.of.me]

27. why can't you meet her?

[Bok_Tukalo]

29. Bummer

For me.

[Droopy]

30. Love will find a way

Let me know if you need any assistance in meeting your love. I haven't done anything nice for anybody in a while so I'm due for a good deed.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

49. My dear Longgrain!

I think you are very mistaken! I'm sure you and your ladylove will meet some day. You both want it, and this will help it happen...I'd put good money on it, I would!

The summer approaches, my dear, and it will bring your opportunity...

:pals:

:yourock:

[Huckebein the Raven]

59. That's great Longrain

sucks that you don't have chance to meet her at the moment, but anything can happen in the future.

:pals:

[Bake]

23. I ain't sayin' SHIT!

Not that I don't trust you people or anything ... I just ain't sayin' anything incriminating!

Bake

[hippiepunk]

24. Alright...here goes

I'm secretly totally awesome. Good to get that off my chest.

[orleans]

56. wow....thank you for sharing.....

(it made me smile!!)
:hug:

[AlCzervik]

32. I have a thing for Phillip Seymore Hoffman

just find him oh so sexy.

[Rabrrrrrr]

35. I had sex with Russ Feingold last week!

Well, by 'sex' I mean "slept", and by 'Russ Feingold' I mean "during a video".

[Dying Eagle]

39. LOL

HOME WRECKER!!!

[Rabrrrrrr]

42. I try!

By the way, your gif doesn't work at all. The file doesn't even exist.

[Dying Eagle]

43. thanks

gif. Fixed

[Rabrrrrrr]

45. Much better! Perfect!

[IronLionZion]

40. I'm not really toasted, but I pretended to be in this thread tonight:

and deliberately misspelled as many words as I could

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x3103704

ssssh, don't tell anyone Ok?!

[Corey_Baker08]

52. im drunk

[tavalon]

54. I was once in a quad marriage

Two women, two men, happily ever after, except it didn't quite work out that way. It was really amusing though, that from the outside, it looked so strange but from the inside, well, it just seemed like Ozzie and Harriet and Ozzie and Harriet.

[BikeWriter]

57. I have to confess this. I once followed my cheating wife out of town and

[Wapsie B]

61. And?

[BikeWriter]

78. I thought I'd inject some mystery into the post.

[imenja]

63. is she still alive?

[BikeWriter]

79. She's married to her sixth or seventh husband.

I lose count.

[imenja]

85. wow, people sure do live more eventful lives than mine

One husband and I'm exhausted.

[BikeWriter]

92. LOL! That's the way it was intended, I think.

[WilliamPitt]

64. K

I'm still getting over a relationship that ended two years ago.

I'll be getting over it for the rest of my life.

I am adamantly single. I wouldn't wish me on anyone.

I turned to stone two years ago today. Exactly today. April 23rd, 2003.

The rest is coda.

So that's that.

[BlueIris]

67. Your relationship ended on Shakespeare's birthday?

Ouch.

Take that with the necessary sympathy from someone who has found that her last relationship is probably going to be her last. Not because he was so great, but as I have posted about in the past, because he was horrible. And I was so much less aware then, I had no idea how bad it was or how little he cared for me until it was entirely too late. It's not possible for me to imagine trying to love another human being again because, well, I don't care about any of that anymore. It's not fearing the pain of another potential bad experience as it is not believing romantic love is a valuable, meaningful emotion. And not thinking it can contribute anything to my life. I don't see that mindset changing.

[VelmaD]

75. *hug*

I know how you feel...you're still the only person I've met whose breakup story beats mine. :hug:

The only advice I can give is to do what I try to do...when I get down about it I focus on the things that have made me really happy in the last 3 years, those moments and things and people that have brought me joy. There have been one or two. ;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

87. My heart goes out to you, Will...

You are such a special person, and that is obvious to me, even at this distance. Even though we've never met, or talked. I can only guess at the pain you must feel. I'm so sorry that I can't presume to help. All I can say is that I hope someday some lovely young woman will change your mind...

[sharonking21]

89. You certainly have my empathy

In order to be a "well-balanced" person I kept trying to forget and establish other relationships. Finally figured out it wasn't fair to the "new" ones and was a drag for me too. I now find pleasure in friends, intellectual pursuits etc.

[libnnc]

65. I'm infatuated with an ex-professor

of mine. She's almost thirty years older than I am (but she doesn't look a day over fifty). Is age a big deal between women?

So, I have a thing for older, published PhDs with smoldering dark eyes...

sue me.

[Melynn]

66. I shot a man in Reno....just to watch him die.

Just kidding. :silly:

[Richard Steele]

70. Damn You, Melynn...you beat me to it!! CURSES! (j/k)

[Melynn]

72. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:rofl:

[elshiva]

69. I have a major crush on LittleClarkie.

[Abelman]

71. I have crushes on a few lady DUers

and I will not say who.

[benny05]

73. I like Henry David Thoreau's Works n/t

[Dying Eagle]

74. Mourning KICK

:KICK:

OK, I guess I need to go again. I am a Crush-aholic. I seen to always have a crush on someone and as soon as i find a new crush, the old crush fades away.

I am now on my 3rd Crush in 5 years. I am a Part time bartender on weekends and she is a co-worker. Its all good, I never, EVER pursue them. I am VERY happily married. I guess its just part of my makeup....maybe its the makeup of every guy!!!

[VelmaD]

76. I don't think I've ever...

been in love. I'm 34 years old. I've been involved with several men. But I don't think I've ever been in love and I'm pretty sure none of them have ever been in love with me. I'd like to experience it at least once in my life but things aren't looking good for the hometeam. *sigh*

[freebird1]

77. since you ask

The last man I was in-love with broke up with me by e-mail only 72 hours after spending another wonderful weekend together while we watched the snow pile up outside.

The white-out conditions surrounded us in a beautiful two foot of new snow. Albany was hit with one blizzard after another that winter but didn't mind ~ I was on top of the world as I drove home. Life wasn't perfect but it didn't matter because I had found one of my soul-mates and I was truly in-love deeper than I had ever been in my life.

The next day he sent me two emails. The first one included a driving shortcut from one of the areas where I shopped to his home, I thought he was being so sweet. The second one included an erotic story he had written.

"Waiting" was the title of his incredibly descriptive story. After reading about his fantasies - I told him that no matter how much as I loved him - I couldn't be his "Samantha".

"Time To Let Go" was the heading on the email he sent to me the next day. That was the day *the last love of my life* changed my life forever. I didn't have a clue that he would turn my world upside down on 1/7/03.

The last woman who loved him before I met him committed suicide because she couldn't live without him. May the lovely Leslie's soul be at peace.

Goodbye

[VelmaD]

82. Ok...do you have any idea...

what "being a mole" actually means? Congratulations on managing to make it 3 whole posts without anyone finding out your super-secret mission. :eyes:

Or are you actually just saying you live underground and never see the light of day?

[Midlodemocrat]

83. I'm a mod at DU

and you are toast.

[Midlodemocrat]

84. I have an obsession with candles.

I have them everywhere and light them all the time. There. I said it. The first step in addressing the problem is admitting that there is a problem.

[Pushed To The Left]

86. I am a huge pro wrestling fan!

I am 32 years old, and I've been addicted since I was 10! I was involved in a battle royal when I was 24 and did some ring announcing at some San Bernardino shows. I was actually pretty awful when it came to working a pro wrestling match. I ended up getting into submission grappling(BJJ, shooto, etc) which it turned out I was a lot better at. I haven't grappled in a long time...I need to start again!

[bigwillq]

88. That's cool!

Any pics of you in action? What's your stage name?:hi:

[LibraLiz1973]

90. Alright, I'll throw my hat in

I read romance novels to relax. I'm not talking about historical fare- I mean Silhouette, Harlequin... cheap cheesiness!

lol

Shh~ never tell!

[sharonking21]

91. I used to work with baboons

and part of my job was to do anthropometric measurements on them. It took a team of monkey observers to accomplish this. After the techs had immobilized them in a single capture cage, we would gently lift the baboon out of its container and place it on the floor for measurement. I had to bend over and use the calipers to do the skinfold measurements.

One of my male co-workers, Paul, kept feeling my butt as I bent over and kept giving me small pats. Paul was a little bit younger than me, but I thought he must have some kind of crush on me--and he was normally a very nice, rather shy, young man. So I just shifted around to where he couldn't do it and gave him rather dirty looks. Finally, after several days of this,however, I got fed up with it and in the middle of the group process castigated him publicly in no uncertain terms for his over familiarity.

Whereupon the entire team broke up and started rolling around the floor laughing. To my great embarrassment it had never been Paul doing the patting and feeling. My position bending over looked like a "present" to the other male baboons in cages in close quarters. The proper mannerly thing to do if you are a baboon and someone "presents" to you is to reach out and pat the butt of the person presenting.:blush:
