Things about yourself that will shock fellow posters here...

[mikeMc6]

Well, not that shocking because nobody knows me!

But here's some weird stuff. Sorry, I always get wordy.

• I spent all of grade school living in the Cascade Mountains (visited alot before that). My dad was the Principal and ONLY teacher of the small church school which had at the MAX 15 students (usually about 12) for the whole school, which ran from first grade to high school. Being as I also looked alot and acted alot like Laura Ingalls, it was literally like Little House on the Prarie in the mountains. It was a blast.
  I always really hoped to see Bigfoot, but all the settlements were too close to a noisy freeway. I didn't even get to see any cougars or bobcats (plenty of bear and skunk though).

• I rode my little red bike through the woods to my Grandmas house. If I wore my parka, I had a hood too.

• I met Marty of Sid & Marty Krofft once. He looked at me like he thought I was strange.

• I had a stalker once.

• I worked graveyard at a small hotel which had crappiest dregs of worst criminal activity. I'd get soooo annoyed with cars full of hoodlums driving down to the back to sneak in, so I'd lock up and march down there, hide out, and pouce out on the stairwell (4 floors) to chase them out with my huge maglight. I was the ONLY employee on the whole premises with NO way to call for backup (phone didn't reach) and no cameras. Lucikly, they were always like three stooges criminals, and were quite bemusedly affable, often staring at my bewbies and hitting on me as I chased them out. Once we had a ganster problem though (they were always carrying guns), and I harrased a group of like 5 of them at 3am. Luckily they were respectful or I wouldn't be typing this now. 0-0 I also marched into a room in the night full of a scuzzy partying motorcycle gang. They told me they'd keep it down and I had female balls (it was actually stupidity).

• I have 17 pairs of retro resin grapes, and some pieces in storage for projects. It seems like too much and not enough at the same time.

• I HATE to date. I'd rather meet a grizzly in the woods (to copy another poster). I've always been like "AGAIN?! But we just saw each other LAST night! *SIGH*. "

• I do not find Seth Rogen funny. AT ALL.

• I like to sing loudly whilst showering. Once I was wailing to 80s music (Journey, I think), and heard this horrible caterwauling coming from the open window. I peeped out, and there was a cat sitting below literally caterwauling along with me.

• I've been unemployed for quite some time. That's why I don't post more in the toys section. I can't afford to buy them right now.

I broke my collarbone when I was six months old.

I broke my leg when I was three and had to wear a body cast from the waist down with a metal bar between my legs.

When I was a baby my 5 year old aunt brought me to her kindergarten class for show and tell.

My cousins uncle on his dad's side is in Night Ranger.

When I was 13 my mom won an all-expenses paid trip to the '84 Olympics in L.A.

When I was a senior in high school a buddy and I were extras in "The Chocolate War" starring Ilan Mitchell-Smith. I'm in two scenes and he has a close up. It was filmed in Everett, WA north of Seattle.

I also auditioned for the lead kid in "The Stone Boy" starring Robert Duvall. It was being filmed in Great Falls, MT where we were living at the time.

My aunt and uncle went to high school with Mike Starr from Alice in Chains.

Shocking? That would imply I am interesting ... however ...

- I was born in the 60's and no, my sister and I are not twins despite any photographic evidence.

- At the tender age of 6 I taught my best friend how to pee standing up. Her mother did not appreciate the effort.

- I was very unpopular in Grade 8.

- I hold a Queen's Commission as an Officer in the Canadian Armed Forces.

- I was a Range Safety Officer and certified marksman in six different rifles and hand guns and yet I don't own a single gun.

- I went to college for 8 years on and off and my current career has nothing to do with any of that education. Think of all the toys I could have bought with that money!

- After watching an episode of Monster Garage I became a Reverend of the Universal Life Church online and I get at least one request a month from strangers to marry them ... which I cannot do legally where I live (but we are good to go in Nevada).

- After the successful completion of my first marriage I figured Ralph Kramden, Fred Flintstone and Doug Heffernan had the right idea and found this fat man a beautiful second wife.

- I am a Baron of Sealand thanks to Capital One. What's in your wallet?

- I speak five languages non-fluently including English.

In the spirit of the season...
I have never seen a Halloween movie.
I have never seen a Friday the 13th movie.
I have never seen a Nightmare on Elm Street movie.

[Gorn Captain]

I hate The Sound of Music.
Whenever I see Julie Andrews coming up that hill, I imagine having a bazooka. Kabang!

I'm not Earth2Chris but want to be.

I tell you what, on some days, I'd gladly let you fill in.

WOO HOO!!

......
I like watching shows about Don Rickles.

Me too! I've actually taped a bunch of his late night TV appearances (scattered everywhere though). They're just as good as a stand up set! For some reason, I love his interactions with Craig Ferguson the most.

When I was little my Aunt gave my sister a bunch of her old albums. My sister took an unfortunate liking to Simon and Garfunkel. Which she would play incessantly. All day long. Every day. Day after day. It was hellish. To this day the Sounds of Silence fills me with rage.

[Nostalgiabuff]

I love Simon and Garfunkel

I feel the same way but would like to include Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins

I got to see Animal House at the theater in 1978 (I was 8) because my dad didn't realize just how raunchy it was!

He was taking his girlfriend (now wife) out that night and let me tag along. He told me later he was mortified at the jokes and the fact that I was the only person in the theater under the age of 25.

Ok, Ok, I'll post something. My wife is the only other person who knows this about me. I am a closet Andy Gibb and Bee Gees fan. There, I said it.
