[MallyMal]

Post random facts about yourself.

I haven't taken any form of medication, including aspirin, in over 16 years.

I haven't watched TV (on a TV) in over 8 years.

I have never been drunk.

[ghporter]

Pulling 9 g sucks, but I didn't throw up.

I have attended 5 different community colleges and 5 different universities. I hold 5 different degrees; two from a single community college, two from a single university, and one from a different university.

[cjrivera]

I still have one baby (primary) tooth. That might explain why I act so immature sometimes.

[Doofy]

For the last two or three days, I have literally had no idea what day it is.

I haven't eaten any form of meat or fish in over 18 years.

What if it tastes like fish? Does that count?

Ok, that was pretty good.

I can always tell the time within 10 minutes even if I haven't looked at a clock in days.

Not if you wash it first.

[ShortcutToMoncton]

Is THAT LIKE SOME KIND OF TOFU OR SOMETHING

[SSharon]

I have never owned a machine with Windows on it.

It works best for Eastern Standard Time.

Seriously, I scare myself sometimes with how close to the minute I am when someone asks what time it is.

[Andrew Stephens]

I am what I am

I say tomato you say tomAto

I do

I'm spartacus

I see dead people

[abbaZaba]

I was on Reading Rainbow when I was 5 or 6

[shifuimam]

I have six toes on my left foot.

I was blind when I was born.

I'm really a dude.

[turtle777]

I never posted at 'NN.

I've made a total of 18 oaths, in 5 different occult organizations, to protect information* that you can easily find in books sold at every major bookseller.


(*Well, 99% of the information. Some things aren't available in print, but you can find almost all the rest with Google.)

Why? Is it unhealthy to take stuff like aspirin even occasionally?

[shifuimam]

Screw aspirin - I take three pills a day, have a plastic stick in my arm for the next three years, and pop Advil like it's going out of style.

Thank God for modern medicine.

Perhaps you swallowed a watch as a child?

[andreas_g4]

Deep in my heart, I am a very lazy son-of-a-bitch.

I just like the idea of not developing any kind of dependence on any medicine, even the non-addictive types.

Me? I take Excedrin, Zyrtec, Aleve Sinus & Cold, Benedryl, Nyquil, and a few others from time to time.

Oh...I and my random facts for me:

1. I've had my tonsils, appendix, and a benign tumor on my spine removed surgically.
2. Both my grandpas were preachers as are/were my father, four of my uncles, four of my cousins, and my brother-in-law (whose grandparents/parents were also sons/daughters of preachers). Then I married a woman who is also a third-generation preacher's kid.
3. My second toes are a full centimeter longer than my big toes.
4. My rampant ADD results in many bizarre impulse behaviors (visit the game systems thread), often at a detriment to some of my personal relationships.

That's hilarious

[lexapro]

I have 9 surgical scars on my torso.

[kylef]

I too have never been drunk.

I have Pectus excavatum.

My orthodontist said my teeth were in their "best condition yet" after my brothers and I had consumed 40 bottles of 1.25L coke we got for my brother's birthday (bought on Jan 12, orthodontist some time just before April). They were pretty clean beforehand, and cleaner afterwards.

I have a shy bladder at urinals, but not at cubicles with the door open (obviously I'm doing a #1)

[Ghoser777]

I have a Z looking scar on my chest from baseball in high school. During a practice, I went back to catch a fly ball and when I jumped to make the catch, I "landed" on a rusty fence. No, I didn't make the catch. No, I've never met Zorro... I think.

[Eriamjh]

I still have my tonsils when all my siblings had them removed.

I had only two wisdom teeth (uppers, removed painlessly).

I dated my wife's sister (before we we married).

I can repair any 60s Lincoln convertible.

[abbaZaba]

oh, all my wisdom teeth came in perfectly. the dentist said that they do not see that happen very often.

[TheoCryst]

I've been playing the trumpet for over twelve years now. I prefer to play jazz, but I'll indulge and play classical pieces now and then.

I've never been a patient at a hospital: no broken bones, no gaping wounds, no surgeries.

I'm at work, waiting for my code to compile. Not surprisingly, compiling [*REDACTED*] takes for-frigging-ever.

I love my job.

[smacintush]

Let's see…

I went to 12 different schools between 2nd and 11th grade…and it wasn't military or job related.

I don't celebrate holidays.

Because of years of taking grape-flavored Dimetapp elixir, I now cannot stand the taste of anything grape flavored.

I can suck my own ****.

Likewise, about 20 years for me.

I'm a 12 year old trapped in a 27 year old's body (Like Tom Hanks in 'BIG')

Neither have I.

I have never drank a cup of coffee.

I have 21 year old BMX freestyle bike sitting in my office.

[phantomdragonz]

I have never been drunk nor have I ever tasted an alcoholic drink (by choice not religion)

I have never had any sort of surgery, nor broken a bone.

I have sailed across the atlantic ocean

There are a completely shocking number of prohibitionists in this thread..... I'm getting uncomfortable at the lame-ness of it all actually.

[Rumor]

I am immune to chicken pox, poison oak, and poison ivy. Not sure if I have ever come into contact with poison sumac.

I think it's more that many are following a pattern than they're really "prohibitionists..."

I'll make things a little livelier.

For his 75th birthday, we took my dad to Jamaica. The highlight of the trip was a zipline tour of the jungle canopy at the top of the island. Dad had a blast. So did the rest of us-me, my wife, and our son.

I once lived on the Pacific coast and watched the sun rise over that coast. I was not in Asia or Oceania.

I met Buzz Aldrin at a book signing (his book). My wife, son and I were the ONLY people there who knew who he was, and made any fuss about him or his book.

Were you in the first Superman movie?

5 guys total, me, my grandpa, and 3 others including the owner.

I pulled my fair share of sailing duties. We had shifts, 4 hours on 6 hours off, two on deck at all times and only 2 hours with the same guy per shift.

it was a piece of cake till the auto pilot failed and we got in a bit of weather. Overall the trip could not have been easier... we got to Horta (Açores) JUST in time for a 4 day stretch of really bad weather. otherwise it was a perfect trip, besides the auto pilot failing.

here is my favorite pic from the trip

it was THE MOST amazing experience of my lifetime so far...
