5 Fun Facts About You : )

[ApolloBalboa]

1. I'm incredibly shy in person. Like, really, really shy if you were to meet me. Once I get to know you, I'm plenty engaging, but otherwise being outgoing around strangers is harder for me than having teeth pulled.

2. My family didn't have a CD player or a computer until I was in my early teens. Therefore, I grew up learning how to put the needle on a record in just the right spot, was exposed to everything from big band to 60's and 70's experimental rock, and have a fanatical passion for vinyl. The first computer my family had was an old Apple II; we didn't have internet access until I was 14.

3. I've worn many hats throughout my job history. I've been a line cook, done construction, worked in landscaping, took care of dogs at an animal shelter, was a clerk at a grocery store, interned at an insurance company, worked at a library, done personal training, and now starting to work in physical therapy. I'm a jack of all trades, master of none.

4. (Probably relating in some way to #2) I'm a fairly big Luddite. I think the idea that everybody needs to get the newest smartphone, the newest tablet, or the latest gadget or gizmo when there are perfectly fine older alternatives is ridiculous. I have no intention of getting a smartphone, a tablet, or anything of the sort in the future.

5. I'm fairly fluent in Spanish, having taken 3 years of it in high school and then having the opportunity to practice it when I worked in landscaping and construction (not trying to be stereotypical, but there were a lot of El Salvadorians). I can understand just about everything somebody might say to me, but I'm not fantastic at replying. It's something I'm still working on.

Yeah I took french in high school which serves absolutely no purpose living on the west coast of the U.S., though I could always join the foreign legion.

Shoulda took spanish

The school I originally went to only offered Spanish. I changed high schools in my senior year and they offered more languages. Given that I was tired of Spanish and I'd just seen The Godfather for the millionth time, I elected to go with Italian. Aside from a few words here and there, I barely remember anything.

1 - very , and what model year?

3 - was this related to number 1?

Wait, what? You're gonna have to elaborate.

1 - very , and what model year?

Yeah, that. For starters.

 

[xfire]

1. Beyond age requirements and hygiene, I have absolutely no standards when it comes to women I am willing to fuck.

2. I'm not a fan of sweets, I would rather skip dessert and have two entries.

3. I don't listen to music much anymore, certainly not anything that comes over the airwaves when I'm in my vehicle. I wouldn't mind changing this, but have zero motivation to do so.

4. I've studied martial arts since I was fifteen, I'm currently forty.

5. I've got a wall full of educational and professional credentials ranging from ordination as a minister, black belt and instructor certifications in several martial art disciplines, an electronics engineering diploma, and three academic degrees in sociology, psychology, and philosophy.

For my more meaningful contribution to this thread:

1 - I still have a VCR for playing all the things I recorded years ago.

2 - I still build things with Legos, my best constructions being vehicles, of which I currently have 4 cars, 2 excavators, 2 pickup trucks, 3 trains, a front-end loader, a 10-wheel box truck, a fighter jet, and a helicopter built.

3 - I don't like all the new technology put in vehicles nowadays, as all I want is electric locks and windows, an over-the-air radio, cup holders, an A/C with the nobs that I can use by feel instead of buttons that I have to look at to use, and actual keyed locks for both of the front doors. Don't need or want DVD payers, sat nav, satellite radio, reversing sensors or cameras, remote start, keyless entry, voice controls, any of that.

4 - I can't operate a manual transmission vehicle because my left leg is shorter than my right, and to fully depress the clutch pedal puts me too close to the gas pedal to be comfortable during the majority of the driving time.

5 - I was in the local Christmas parade when I was like 14 or 15 as a last-minute substitution.

Dirty bastard.

Dirty bastard.

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

1) In college I threw up on a dude after he tackled me during our homecoming game.
2) I once got fired from a Buffalo Wild Wings in Omaha for telling a patron to "Suck an apology out of my dick."
3) I hate anything that has bleu cheese in it, on it, or near it.
4) I have the uncanny ability to irritate anyone I meet.
5) My first and middle names together are a British euphemism for pennis (Mom and Dad weren't really aware of Monty Python).

 

[eponymous]

1. I followed the Dead for several summers while I was in college. (that only surprises people who actually know me, but you should see the looks on their faces when I tell them)
2. I'm terrible at anything Math-related, yet I spend hours torturing myself trying to figure out problems when they present themselves in the course of normal life.
3. I have a BA and MA in Philosophy and another MA in Humanities, yet I work in Construction. (that doesn't surprise anyone)
4. I can legitimately say that refusing to use a Microwave ever again is one of the best decisions I ever made. I hate those damn things more than "Reality" TV and Rap/HipHop combined, and they take up so much space!
5. I have three first names. My first, middle and last name are all traditionally first names. Even people who have known me for a while sometimes slip and call me by my last name. You can't blame them for being confused, though, because I have always gone by my middle name. The last name I inherited, of course, but my Mother chose my first and middle names by naming me after her best friends at the time I was born. They were a gay couple. She gave me their first names as my first and middle names. It's all rather odd, I admit it.

 

[feller469]

1. I am alive (found out I had bladder cancer in March, had surgery in July).
2. Was born in England and have lived in US, Panama, Italy and Germany (US military brat).
3. Was a DJ on a rock station in the late 90s then hosted a spots talk show for 5 years.
4. Happily divorced with two great kids.
5. Love reading the words of Orwell and listening to Bill Hicks. Prophets whose messages should be taught in schools. Don't have to agree, just have to be aware of the perspectives.

 

[ThatRedWing]

1: I cannot eat popcorn. (long story, night at the bar 25 years ago)
2: I once signed an autograph as Steve Austin because a kid refused to believe that I wasn't. ( I hope his dad told him later on)
3: I survived a party with Ric Flair and I can remember it.
4: I had a full beard at 13.
5: I had a collection of over a thousand cassette tapes when I was younger, and if I walked in the room and one was out of place I could tell.

 

[BlkHawk]

I was a sickly child, born premature at 3 lbs, mumps before I was old enough to be vaccinated, spinal meningitis almost killed me. pneumonia twice, hospitalized each time, and three surgeries all before 13.

Was home schooled I kept missing so much public school I couldn't keep up.

I am nearly seven feet tall, and scared of heights.

I get lost all the time in urban environments, yet in rural areas I always know North and have never once been lost.

I have inserted a vibrating butt plug in a bull to get semen for fertility testing, twice.

 

[Deepcover]

1. As of 2013 I've never been in a serious relationship with a woman
2. I've only had sex with female strippers, nude parlor attendee's and service providers
3. First time I ever owned a smartphone was at the age of 31
4. To my knowledge the ones who I've come in contact with or hung out the most is men. Very rarely you wouldn't find me socializing, hanging out with women and if so, just briefly
5. Suffer from social anxiety and my memory and listening skills can be really bad...You could tell me to do something for you and seconds later I totally totally forgot to do the task which can be very annoying to the person who asked me to do them the simple favor...

And thus began the best thread ever.

 

[BlkHawk]

And thus this became the best thread ever.

It gets better, the butt plug worked for the first bull but not the second one. The vet had to manually massage the second ones gland to get him off. I damn near died laughing, I stopped laughing when the tests came back sterile. They were pure breds and would have been worth thousands each.
