Tell us 3 things DU doesn't want to know about you.

[Zomby Woof]

1. I can recite all 50 states and their capitals, each state alphabetically.

2. I always wake up exactly at 5AM to pee. Exactly.

3. I prefer Tabasco over ketchup anyday on eggs.

[Ladyhawk]

1. Zomby, what if you got one wrong?

Suppose I really did want to know that you get up a 5 a.m. to pee? I could find out the time differences and give you a ring or something?

[Zomby Woof]

2. LOL

I will say that weekends off like the one I have now COULD throw my internal clock off. Hmmmmm..... :D

[Ladyhawk]

11. By the way, is that the award that O'Lielly got in lieu of the Peabody? nt

[nini]

3. It's none of their business :-)

besides you already know :evilgrin:


:loveya:

[Zomby Woof]

4. Woohoo!

Dare me NOT to post them! :evilgrin:

:loveya:

[nini]

5. oh.. you just want a spankin..

doncha??? :spank:


how's your finger? :-( still hurt? Poor baby.

:loveya:

[Zomby Woof]

6. Yes!

I do!

The finger is okay... I took the bandages off this morning, and it's quite a double-gash! One much deeper than the other. It started bleeding again (not heavily) when I applied pressure, so I washed it again and put a single fresh bandage. So far, no sign of infection, but if it goes awry, I at least have good coverage. :-)

[nini]

9. which hand?

:evilgrin: LOLOLOLOL


hmmmm - it's started bleeding again a bit? do you think you may have needed a stitch or two? Sounds bad. There isnt' any glass stuck in it is there? Owie... BE CAREFUL so nini doesn't worry :-)

[Zomby Woof]

12. I hope there's no glass

The bleeding seems due to the depth of the cut, and I would think it would be far worse with glass, and be infected. No redness anymore, and the pain is mostly gone.

Right hand. You don't realize how dependent you are on this finger when it goes bad!

[Red State Rebel]

7. You asked for it!

At age 47, I can still do the splits - just born flexible.

My body regenerated an ovary that was surgically removed - just like a lizard I tell ya.

I have PCOS - Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome - the symptoms include: ovaries forming cysts instead of eggs (causing infertility and sometimes needing surgical removal), hair loss where you don't want it (I usually wear a wig), and excess hair growth where you don't (I haven't had problems with that luckily!)

Aren't you glad you asked???

[HereSince1628]

8. I pick my nostrils with

the little finger from the opposite side of the body...

2) I ALWAYS wipe toilet paper toward the REAR

3) I can't begin the day without scouring my auditory meatus with q-tips

No offense, but I'd rather know how you plan to make the world better.

[meganmonkey]

10. Okay -

1 - I have my period right now

2- It's the heaviest period I have had in years, I am filling up 'super' size tampons in less than 2 hours, redefining the phrase 'bloody mess'

3 - I'll spare you the third

:P Hey, you asked!

[iconoclastic cat]

15. At least you're not at work. That would suck.

[meganmonkey]

16. As a matter of fact, I am at work

Only for another half-hour, but then I am having dinner with my s/o's family tonight.
I'll survive!

edited to add: Not that 'being at work' means I'm 'working' a whole lot. In fact, most of the work I've done this afternoon has consisted of posting on DU :)

[iconoclastic cat]

17. Yikes! That does suck.

Well, at least you're not a teacher. You'd be screwed then, or have TSS or something...

[norml]

13. I've broken, and dislocated both of my ankles, and they still hurt.

The shocks are broken, the brakes need work, and one headlight is out on my car which I use to deliver pizzas. I've listed myself on several dating sites, but since I'm too cheap so far to pay the fee, I can't read or respond to anyone. There, that's three things no one wants to know about anybody, that they have medical things to complain about, that they're short on cash, and drive a piece of junk car, and that they are alone, lonely, and don't even have the time, energy, or money to go out. Merry Christmas!

[salvorhardin]

14. Well for starters, I can count on my fingers...

in binary. Faster than in decimal. I do binary math this way too.

I've lost most of the feeling in the right hand side of the tip of my third finger on my left hand due to nerve damage suffered during the Tragic Bagel Incident of 1989.

I frequently have wonderful, bizarre cinematic dreams with fully fleshed out plots, characters and scenes that are about 10 times better than anything Hollywood churns out. I promptly forget them walking from my bed to the bathroom upon waking in the morning. I've come to call it SalvorVision.

[iconoclastic cat]

18. Me too! (Dreams, I mean)

Isn't that cool? I love those. I have two or three each night. Too bad we can't record them!

[salvorhardin]

38. Oh good!

I was afraid you were going to mention that you were involved in the Tragic Bagel Incident of 1989 too. Although that would explain a lot of unanswered questions I have about that night. :-)

The dreams are great! I've tried writing them down right after I wake up but the plots fall apart as soon as I try to remember them and all I'm left with are a few scenes and some truly memorable characters.

[motely36]

49. I would love to be able to count in binary on my fingers!

That might actually come in handy. I just can't get the hang of it.

[Maddy McCall]

19. 1. I dip my french fries in mayo

2. I have an antique fox head mandala from the Great Lakes region hanging in my den.

3. I am a klutz. I broke my leg a couple of years ago when I ran a go cart off a bridge. I can trip over a leaf. My middle name is NOT Grace. :-)

[Zomby Woof]

Your middle name is Rumplestiltskin!

Everyone knows that. ;-)

The french fries=mayo thing is actually very popular in parts of the midwest, I think. Somewhere, anyway!

The fox head mandala sounds cool, I know how respectful you are of Native cultures. Have you seen the new postage stamps of Native American Art? I bought a couple of sheets the other day.

[Maddy McCall]

28. No--I didn't know that USPS is making stamps like that!

Thanks for the tip...I might just buy the stamps and the collector's book.

Hope you have some fun stuff planned for tomorrow. Why do I know that you are going to cook something truly awesome?

:hug:

[Zomby Woof]

31. Let me find a link

I am sorry to say it will be an ordinary meal, but it IS HAM! LOL!!! May ham live forever! ;-)

We always had ham for xmas growing up, and I intend to keep that going.

[Maddy McCall]

32. I hate turkey...

We always do ham for T'giving and for Christmas. And cornbread dressing, too. God, I can't wait until lunch tomorrow. :-)

[Zomby Woof]

34. here's the image

The sheet gives historical info for each item on the back... there's a Mississippian effigy there, a Navajo rug, and Acoma pottery... all kinds of great art.

I forgot you were a turkey blasphemer. ;-) I can definitely get with the cornbread dressing, which I am making to go with the ham, yams, and green beans. :D

[Maddy McCall]

39. Ooooo...gotta get that. Would look great framed.

I have a plate of the "Five Civilized Tribes" stamps from the 1950s. I'm going to frame it too. And, the image in my sig--I have the signed and numbered print...gotta get that framed too.

I love American Indian stuff. Thanks for pointing out the stamps.

:-)

[Zomby Woof]

40. here's the hot sauce link

I have been ordering sauces from this company since it was mail-order only in the pre-web era!

http://www.mohotta.com

[Mr. McD]

20. Sorry: but

I don't think the statute of limitations is up yet. :shrug:

[DS1]

21. One my cat's many nicknames is

Fuckface 'O Clockwork (for getting me up at 5:28 AM every day)
I never give SUVs an inch
Tabasco sauce is for amateurs

[Maddy McCall]

22. Hahahaha! My cat's nickname is...

Piss and Vinegar. That's what she's full of. :-)

[Zomby Woof]

23. I don't use Tabasco for heat

It just meshes well - it just says EGGS.

I use Hellfire & Damnation Habanero sauce for regular hot sauce use... or Dave's Insanity for an additive to salsa or soups.

[Maddy McCall]

33. Where can you get hellfire and damnation--I mean, besides at the local...

Southern Baptist Church? I need some of dat!

[DS1]

37. Agreed, it does go very well with eggs

But I'm partial to the Tabasco Habanero sauce for pizza *TAAAASTY* and and mix of Cholulu and Frank's Extra Hot for other stuff, and a few good squirts of Sriracha Garlic Chili Sauce makes Szechuan or Kung Po Chicken taste like how I think it was always intended to :7

mmm, good thing I'm having Chili tonight :9

[Zomby Woof]

41. Tabasco Habanero is a staple

I put that on hash browns usually... it's easy to find in restaurants now.

Must try the Sriracha.

[DS1]

42. That's one thing that sucks about living up here in MASS

It's a bitch finding hot sauces besides that Emeril shite they push on the store shelves, you have to find specialty stores to get anything decent.

I take that back, it's the ONLY bad thing about living in MA :hi:

[Zomby Woof]

44. You forgot...

Matcom's farts. x(

But 2 ain't bad!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

29. I never let SUV's go either

:evilgrin:

They can barely fit down most streets, and I can't tell you how many times they've hemmed me in parking spaces.

[DS1]

43. Exactly

If someone wants to make a left turn into my road, and I want to turn left onto there's I'll always pull far forward and block them in and immediately turn into a complete puss and wait for the longest gap possible before moving.

It's my little FUCK YOU to the Family Assault Vehicles and the self-important yuppies within

[aQuArius]

24. I have broken all 10 of my toes....

and they've never healed just right.

2. I can still do the splits, flexibility in the genes.

3. I get goosebumps (everyewhere) very easily.

[Zomby Woof]

26. Hmmmm!

#2 is another incentive, lol...

OH, and if you want goosebumps, think pie, Beatles music, and hiding under a comforter. ;-)

[Lydia Leftcoast]

25. Okay, here are my shameful secrets

1. I am incapable of wrapping packages (the invention of gift bags was a blessing for me), doing origami (I caused great hilarity in a crowd of Japanese peace protestors when I couldn't fold a paper crane), remembering the rules of card games from one session to the next, or keeping a room or apartment really neat and tidy.

2. I have had bad knees since the age of 28.

3. I am careful never to to get drunk, because I get massive, axe-in-the-skull, continual-dry-heaves hangovers that last the whole next day. At least I did the last time I got drunk, some 28 years ago.

Is that the kind of thing you had in mind? :-)

[Zomby Woof]

27. yep!

I posted lame and ordinary things as a LURE to get some seemier stuff, and it worked! :D

[madison2000]

30. I voted for Ford in 1976

but I was young and stupid.

I can recite the entire alphabet, in order.

I don't like ketchup on ANYTHING.

[ZombieNixon]

35. 1. At the age of three...

I misread the word "funk" in a music store and asked my mom what "fuck music" was.

2. I'm the second-in-command of the local "Barbarian Horde."

3. One of my lifelong ambitions is to learn to play the bagpipes.

[RetroLounge]

36. Hmm, Only three? Okay.

1) I set my alarm clock for 5:43am for no particular reason other than the fact that I always have.

2) My favorite sandwich is PB&J on wonder bread with Buddig's processed chicken and american cheese.

3) ketchup anyday on eggs

RL

[SOteric]

45. Only 3??!!!

• I can recite Browning, Shakespeare, Dickinson, Yeats, Byron, Shelley, Wordsworth, Longfellow, Keats, Kipling, Coleridge, Snyder, Rilke, and even some Faulkner.
  
  
• I am a practicing Roman Catholic, with all the baggage that implies.
  
  
• I receive all of my early education at the hands of the Jesuits, pretty much all of whom were and are Creationists. Despite popular belief, my education has failed as yet to turn me into a slobber, screed-spewing cretin. There's always the possibility of early dementia I suppose, so hope springs eternal.

And a bonus:

• I suck at bowling.
  
  
• I swigged down a pint of Clorox as a toddler.
  
  
• At the age of 3 my mother told me that if I continued to bite my nails and swallow them they'd turn into a big ball in my tummy. When next we were at the grocery, I spotted a pregnant woman, made the connection, pointed a finger and shouted "I know what you've been doing!!!" Mum's humiliation was complete.

[Zomby Woof]

46. LOL LMAO ROFLPIMP

*gasping for air*

Priceless. MY OH MY!!! *Niehaus style*

I know what you've been doing! LOLOLOL!!!! :D :D :D

[SarahB]

47. Just 3?

1. I'm lactose intolerant (but wasn't my first 29 years).
2. I have a weird habit of biting any split ends I see in my hair.
3. I have chronically cold feet.

[Zomby Woof]

48. Be glad it was only 3!

I am just in a generous holiday mood. ;-)

I can try helping with #3. :evilgrin: Massage, maybe?

[SarahB]

50. Sure.

No one gives me massages these days. Actually, I think I could count on one hand the numbers of times I've gotten any sort of massage. Pathetic, ain't it?

[the Princess]

51. Remember you asked...........

1 - I can have an orgasm in my sleep - really.

2 - I have hemmorrhoids - they're a pain in the ass.

3 - I too have PCOS which results in EXTREMELY heavy periods every couple of months where I bleed through everything.

Now - glad I shared?? LOL

[Zomby Woof]

52. I know someone who also shares #1!

And it was my doing. :evilgrin:

Hey, I wanted some lurid stuff! I made my TAME on purpose! You all aren't getting my dirt! :D

[MercutioATC]

53. I can do that reciting the states thing.

We learned the song in grade school and it stuck with me.

Completely useless except for Trivial Pursuit questions where they ask stuff like "How many states begin with the letter "M"?".

[CO Liberal]

54. OK.....

1 - I'm a "real" redhead. That means that with the exception of the random ones that have started to turn grey, every hair on my body from head to toe is red.

2 - I had seven teeth surgically removed when i was in my 30s, including three of my wisdom teeth.

3 - I broke my toe once walking through my kitchen. We had just moved back into our mobile home after it had been moved, and I stubbed my right baby tow on a box filled with dishes. The next morning, it had swollen so much that none of my shoes fit - we had to go to PayLess and buy bigger ones.

BONUS "Thing":

I have a part of my body that gave a special name. If you can guess the part AND the name, you win a special prize.

:-)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

55. Well...

1 - I can't sleep in a bed with a stitch of clothes on. I have no idea what that's about. I can sleep on a sofa, in a car or on the floor clothed, however.

2 - I get PMS from hell about twice a year. Even I don't want to be around me then!

3 - I am a fidgeter who can't be sit still for more then a few seconds.

I'm keeping my more sordid secrets to myself. :D

[GOPisEvil]

56. Sure...ok...

1. I have an extremely short attention span and it's hard for me to sit still.

2. At age 2, I was running on a waxed floor in my socks. I slipped and slid into a wall radiator. I still have the scar on my forehead.

3. Tabasco is good on eggs, but I prefer Sriracha! :nuke:

[Zomby Woof]

57. you're the second Sriracha on this thread

I will try it. I emphasize again that Tabasco is for flavor, not heat. I like heat on lots of things, but unless it's omelettes or another multi-ingredient egg dish, I like 'em unadorned and egg-heavy in flavor. Tabasco enhances the egginess. The hotter stuff is good on omelettes, especially if meat is involved.

[GOPisEvil]

58. Gotcha.

Tabasco does go well with eggs.

I started eating Sriracha after using at a Vietnamese noodle place. It's available in the Asian section of the mega mart.
