:wow: and then some!!

:D

[LeftyMom]

17. Yep.

When that car hit my bed, I was a week and a half overdue. I went into *false* labor. I think that upset me more than the hole in the side of my house on a rainy day (which I had to cover in plastic myself, since it was the maintainance guy's day off and he wasn't answering the phone.)

[wain]

89. My mother pushed me out of the car when I was 2 1/2

That's what I tell her now. But, I was the curious one who opened the door at 35mph on a gravel road.

[Nicole]

84. Well lately I just collect it

I haven't done anything with it. :rofl:

Ok, tell me about the locomotive!! Please?! :bounce:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Just for you, my dear bi-baby!

The locomotive story:

When I was about 10 years old, my parents and my brother and I went down to the railroad yard to watch the trains switching.

One train engineer leaned out of his cab and asked my brother if he'd like to move the train. He said yes, and we three piled in. My dad took the car to where the train would end up.

But once inside the cab, my brother decided he didn't want to, after all!

So the engineer asked me!

And......I said yes, and so I drove the train! Not well, mind you.......

And a good thing it was that I didn't have to steer! I had a hard enough time just running the throttle........

I went...chug chug chug chugchugchug!

Like that........

They were all laughing! But I drove the train!



:bounce: :bounce:

[bicentennial_baby]

23. Rock the f on Peggy!!

Go you!!! :bounce:

Awesome story and memory... :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. Thanks, sweetie!

Glad you enjoyed it!

:bounce: :bounce:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

11. I was left-handed until I was about five, but the nuns made me switch.

Now I write with my right-hand and can do most things with both. However, I can NOT brush my teeth with my right hand. It's like I suddenly get cerebral palsy. I have no idea why because I'm normally quite adept with both and one would think writing would be harder than brushing my teeth. My handwriting is pretty neat, too.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. You hear a lot about people being forced to switch....

I'm sorry it happened to you....

My mom swears that she didn't force me!

I am also a little bit ambidextrous.........I am basically right-handed, but I wash my face, and thread a needle left-handed.

Weird, huh?

:hug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

43. Nuns totally freak me out to this day & I only went to Catholic school k-4

I even have a baby tee that says "Catholic School Survivor." Priests don't freak me out though. Most of the priests I know are pretty nice. Hell, it was a Catholic priest that convinced my mom that I wasn't going to hell for being gay. Gotta give him props for that.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

8. Here's mine...

OK, here's 10+ random things about me...after me, YOU!!! Let's hear it!!

1) I can dislocate my left shoulder at will and I use this skill to freak out my younger sister during big family dinners.

2) I've been arrested four times. I've only been cuffed once though and it was over a parking ticket.

3) I do sacreligious things with Jesus.

4) I haven't had a haircut in over six months.

5) I can wear stilletos and walk well, even after a bottle of wine.

6) I've only been jumped in a bar once. It was by my ex-gf's ex-gf.

7) I still have my Wuzzles thermos from kindergarden. It contains dried San Pedro.

9) I inherited (aside from some money I bought a Saab with) a case of LPs, a case of booze, and a billy club, which he had won in a brawl.

10) I can assemble IKEA furniture without the directions

***11*** Bonus: My parents once tried to kill me by purchasing me a Toyota Echo. It would sense a snowflake somewhere in western PA and try to skid off the road.

***12*** When I see a big rock, I have an uncontrollable urge to climb it.

BONUS QUESTION!!! Yes to the Bloody Mary.

[bicentennial_baby]

12. Wow babygirl...you've stunned me, yet again...

Ok, the Bloody Mary is a done deal :D

1) Your hair must grow slowly...I go every month

2) You, in stilettos....jeebus.... *swoon*

3) You are SO here next time I buy Ikea....seriosuly....


Oh yeah, and I adore you... :loveya:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

27. The back was trimmed up in April or so but I don't think it grows slowly.

My hair was pretty much buzzed and it's about 5" where it wasn't trimmed up. I felt like I was getting a mullet, so I freaked and did an impromptu home haircut. I amazingly did an even job.

I'll see if I can find any of my mom's wedding pictures to scan.

Yep, I'm an IKEA wiz. I've only encountered one issue and that was a piece of furniture that had improperly drilled holes. Some cursing, blood, sweat and tears and I pounded that motherfucker together.

[bicentennial_baby]

33. Mrs Sniffa and I spent 5 hours putting our bed together....

Jeebus Christ! It was an Ikea nightmare!!

I wish my hair grew slowly...I drive 100 miles to my stylist once a month, and I haven't been this month...It's scary wrong, yep... x(

[fudge stripe cookays]

95. Sounds like you and I need to have a BUILD-off!

My dad when I was 13. Been putting together furniture that whole time.

I kick ASS! (too bad there is no muscle-flexing smiley....)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

106. Yeah, but I kick ass with furniture building and actual fighting.

:P

[Starbucks Anarchist]

115. I love assembling IKEA furniture!

But I need the directions. :D

[Aristus]

9. Wow, bi-baby. I've never had pasta cooked by a motherfucker before.

What's it taste like? :P

[bicentennial_baby]

13. Damn good, you....

:spank:

:hi: Long time no see!! :pals:

[Aristus]

18. Hey, sweetie.

:hug:

[Evoman]

10. Getting to know Evoman

Getting to know...Evoman

1)I make a Mussel Dish (Mussels in a White Wine Basil Butter sauce) that has to be tasted to be believed. My girlfriend says that she dreams about having it at least once every two or three days.

2)I don't have a car, I walk.

3)I never snore.

4)I shaved myself bald a month ago....and I really like it.

5)After only about 3 or 4 years of cooking (I didn't cook very often until I moved out) I have become the best cook that I know. I've surpassed my mother who has been cooking for about 40 years.

6)I love bugs and I never kill the ones in my house. Always put them outside.

7)I'm an atheist, and anything New Agey (including alt. healing and psyhics) bothers me.

8)I'm tired of school. I like to learn, but my masters in driving me up the wall.

9)I've been in a movie. I played a scientist...which I am.

10)I dislike most policemen.

[bicentennial_baby]

14. what kind of scientist are you?

I've also had a shaved head..rock on!

I've never had a mussel! :o

I love school...working on 2 BAs at once, right now :)

[Evoman]

16. Evolutionary Scientists

Entomology/Evolution/Genetics.

I cross a couple of fields.

On edit: Wait till you have to write a thesis...fun fun fun.

[bicentennial_baby]

20. Sweetness....

I used to be a MicroBio major, before I did a 180 and became a French/Econ major :D

Science is my first love though, and I loooove being a Chem tutor to this day :)

[Evoman]

26. I teach a lot of lab sections

Unlike most grad students, I really like to do it....lol..which is probably why my class reviews are usually really high. I've done a lot of micro...fascinating stuff.

Do you like Econ? I didn't like it at all....I kept wondering why the Economists would never talk about nature/environment, since it has such a large effect on production. Apparently, nature isn't taken into account in most of the charts and forumalae!

[bicentennial_baby]

32. Some of us do....

Nature, Geography, and the Environment play a big part in Econ, especially in developing/emerging nations...But then again, I'm one of those left-wing/commie Econ people :D

2. I cannot say aluminum without becoming tongue-tied.

3. I once wrote a successful $3M+ grant proposal.

4. I impulse shop for things I don't need like red pleather studded belts, expensive ties and hawaiian shirts then wear them together to justify their purchase.

5. I have two geminated teeth. (fused teeth sharing a single root structure)

6. I have an outstanding $50 fine for handing out blueberry muffins to homeless people in Bushnell Park before a mayoral address. Facilitating loitering, my ass. }(

12. I've worn the same glasses since 3rd grade.

[Evoman]

44. Same glasses since 3rd grade?

Lol..how many times have they come in, and back out, of fashion. I love that the glasses I had in grade eight are now "the style". People used to make fun of them back then....garrrrr.

[Chan790]

46. They were never in style

my parents bought the nastiest, ugliest frames you've ever seen because they were cheap and what 9 year old isn't going to destroy glasses. Well, they've never broken in any way that couldn't be repaired and since the script never changed I never was allowed to get new ones. I finally got new glasses when I got my first job post-college but they broke a while ago and since I was broke and uninsured...back to the indestructable 3rd grade frames.

The first thing I'm doing after I start work and get benefits is getting new glasses.

Damn good list, my man.... :thumbsup:

1. My basic physiology is supposed to be tall and skinny, but I screwed that up with lots of comfort eating and no exercise during middle school and most of high school.

4. Chocolate is my favorite food (it is a food, right?).

[ForrestGump]

53. Hmmmm....

It really is kinda difficult to come up with even 'random' facts...even without considering my desire not to too tightly identify myself inadvertently, it kind of becomes a quest for things pushed to the backroads of my memory...

Start with one, I guess, and see how it goes from there. Here goes.

1. The most recent replica Elvis jumpsuit I made required almost 1900 brass studs, each of which had four to six prongs that I had to crimp individually with needlenose pliers.

3. I have turned over a live shark, while diving, to induce 'tonic immobility.'

4. I've lived (at least two years) in three countries, so far, and stayed a month or more in three others. I'm a citizen of two countries and able to live and work in a third with no papers required.

5. I have six civilian and scientific dive certifications and six related medical certifications

6. As a graduate student I held an Adjunct Assistant Professor position at a private northeastern university.

7. I have three graduate degrees, from two universities in two countries, and no undergraduate degree.

8. I stepped on Kenny Rogers' foot.

9. I almost died in a diving accident on the 20th anniversary of Elvis' death (in other words, nine years ago today)

10. One of my underwater photographs was used on a postage stamp

11. I've had my big toe pinched ('pinched' does not adequately describe the agony) by a large rhinoceros beetle and have been bitten by a kangaroo

12. Among my writing output has been 16 articles in 'popular' (i.e., non-specialist or 'consumer') magazines

I did it! Not sure how random they are, though.

[ProfessorGAC]

124. Sent You A PM

It wasn't to hide it. I just figured this thread would already be on Page 5 of the Lounge. It's not like its the secret to cold fusion or anything!

[NewWaveChick1981]

62. Now mine...

1) First car was a 1973 Plymouth Fury III, metallic green with a green hardtop. :P My great aunt decided she could no longer drive at age 92, so she asked my mother if she could give it to me and my sister to use in college. That was my junior year in college, and I was damn glad to get that car. :) It only had 13,000 miles on it in 1984, 11 years after she bought it. :P She was the proverbial little old lady that only drove it to church on Sundays. :rofl: Problem was, though, that when she drove, she drove like a race car driver, and there were things wrong with it that the mechanic said would only have happened by driving it at very high speeds and taking corners too fast. :rofl: That car only got about 8 miles to the gallon. And we coulda driven it to the Love Shack, 'cause it was big as a whale and it's about to set sail.... :rofl:

2) When I was a kid, I stepped on some broken glass, and some of it was never removed because it was too deep. When I was in my late 20s, some of that glass worked its way to the surface, and I had to have it taken out. :yoiks:

3) I sleep in the nude and often let my dogs in or out in the middle of the night with nothing on. I appear at my back door naked very often. There are houses behind us, but the trees obscure any view they might have. :P Oh, and about two months ago, I stepped outside on the deck to round up one of our dogs about 2 AM, and I didn't have anything on. :evilgrin: It was dark, and no one was around....

4) I made a 1280 on the SAT in 1980.

5) I have two bachelor's degrees and one master's degree.

6) I have very fair skin that burns and never tans.

7) I listen to tunes in my car with the sound WAY up. Hey---Blitzkrieg Bop HAS to be loud! :rofl:

8) I've never had braces, and my teeth are almost totally straight. I attribute this to the fact that I used to make my baby teeth loose on purpose when I was a kid so that I'd get money from the tooth fairy. :rofl:

9) I worked as a lifeguard twice in the summers during and after high school. I was a certified Water Safety Instructor and am an excellent swimmer.

10) I have an acute sense of smell and amaze my family by picking up on scents so quickly. The downside of that is that smells like asphalt make me ill. :(

11) I make the baby Jesus cry a lot.

12) I was a Girl Scout from elementary school (actually a Brownie then) all the way through my senior year in high school.

[plcdude]

65. you left some of the

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

71. Yay for making the baby Jesus cry a lot.

3) You know your freeper neighbor was secretly watching, right?

7) Music must be played in the car all the way up. It's a rule. The most ridiculous the better. Personally, I enjoy blasting something like "Ride of the Valkyries" with the windows open in my Jeep while driving through heavily populated suburban main streets. It's even more enjoyable than watching the reactions to this little white girl blasting gangsta rap.

[NewWaveChick1981]

72. He cries so much I need to buy him a handkerchief.

:rofl: You need to confess what you do to Jesus yourself.... :P

3) Mr. FReeper was most likely not up at that hour, but who knows? :P He would have needed night vision goggles, 'cause it was super dark out there. :rofl:

7) :rofl: I can just see that now... :rofl: That's worth the looks on their faces! :hi:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

4) I wanted to kill myself while in my 20's. I almost succeeded when i was 29. I am glad I didn't.

5) I am a published author of fiction, poetry and non-fiction. I once had my own column in a national magazine.

6) I have been clean and sober for over 16 years.

7) I love model railroading. You got an issue with that?

8) I still have black leather pants and look fabulous in them, but I never have an occasion to wear them.

10) I was "recruited" if you will, by a company to be an exotic dancer when I was 23, skinny and muscular, and had really long hair. I declined.

[femmocrat]

79. It's not hard to make.

I make my own "spaetzel", but you can use cooked noodles or pasta.
Just saute the cabbage in butter or margarine slowly until it's soft. You have to watch it so it doesn't brown. I add a little water every now and then. You can also saute some diced onions if you like them. Then toss in the noodles.

Oh gosh.... now I want to make some for dinner!

But didn't.

Redstone

2. I had a great-grandfather who was a Republican mayor of a small Illinois farm town.

3. I cried before I was born, on the way out though, but very rare as I understand it.

4. I won $5 dollars in an AM radio call-in trivia contest in the 1960's as a grade schooler, the correct answer was 'Gil Hodges'.

5. I once went to a grade school Halloween party as Fidel Castro. Nobody could figure that out, but I just wanted to wear a beard.

6. I am extremely allergic to poison ivy. Got any calomine lotion handy?

7. I once had a black cat named Shirley after Shirley Chisholm, the New York Congresswoman who ran for president in 1972.

8. I once owned Ford Pinto station wagon, the air pollution equipment on it sucked but I fixed it all by cutting a belt to one part of it, and putting duct tape over another part of it. Then it ran and sounded fine. A mechanic at the Ford dealer was the one who suggested cutting the damn belt, the duct taped part was my idea.

9. My doctor says I look like Michael Andretti, the former race driver. My wife thinks my doctor looks like Harrison Ford, and I agree that he does.

10. I think 'Shredding the Document' by John Hiatt will always and forever be a relevant song.

[Random_Australian]

120. Random_Australian! No-one will read it this far down but what the hey!

1) Perhaps the most random thing about me is that when barefoot (which I prefer) I walk on my toes, not my feet. (Well, the very front of my feet, not the toes themselves)

2) I listen to two sets of music simultaneously and hear two seperate songs in my head through one set of headphones (except when I am tired)

3) Soon I will prove that both religion and atheism are valid choices. And I mean prove. (I hope)

4) I know 7^11, 8^11 , 9^10 off the top of my head, and also the speed of light. (They are 1977326743 , 8589934592 , 3486784401 , and 2.99792458 * 10 ^ 8 respectively - and only the last one serves any purpose whatsoever)

5) I have exceptional (and I mean exceptional) difficulty with geometry, trigonometry and spatial reasoning (relative to how good I am at similar things)

6) I have never drank alcohol, and I never will. I can't, unfortunately.

7) I rederived my morals from physical principles.

8) When I woke up this morning, I could not move my legs. (Temporarily they are unbelieveably sore from yesterday)

9) I talk to Ava over AOL more than you do!

Just wondering...

127. He was very nice to me

He was impressed by my preternatural ability to retain copious amounts of trivia.
