1. I am dyslexic.
2. I have very hairy legs.
3. I have never been stung by a bee or a wasp. This is especially odd since I frequently stick my face close to the nests of these insects just to get a close look.
4. I laugh whenever I see dogs. Or squirrels.
5. I have a mild fear of flying but I don't let that get in the way of my love of traveling.
6. I hate speaking on the phone.
7. I love spicy food and will happily eat entire chillies just for fun.
8. I'm nearly 23 and I'm still a virgin.
9. My real name is Nick.
9. I am allergic to amoxycillin.
10. I'm not very good at counting.

2. I know you can't prove it isn't true.

3. I know that because am omniscient.

4. I know you don't believe that, either. (See?)

7. I know you don't believe me. (I am omniscient, after all.)

8. I also know you have no way of proving me wrong.

9. I know the meaning of life.

That's not really fair come on please tell us the meaning of life. Please.

(Linda): Who were you accused of murdering?
(Fr Andrew): My mother. I composed a tribute to her some years back and post it on various boards on Mother's Day. It's mostly a tribute, but also an attempt to provoke discussion on euthanasia.
Once, a few years ago, some awful enemy called a hotline and my wife and I were interviewed by the State police, who still hold the folder open on us, I'm sure.
I'll post my piece here and see what happens.

(Fenton Mulley): Who are the "Slag sisters" and why is that name filling my head with some very disturbing images?
(Fr Andrew): Ahhh...the "Famous Slag Sisters from Pulaski,VA 24301". I was guitar player in a street band/lounge act back in the early 80's. Three hot-unrelated-babes (The Slag Sisters [Slag=Gals spelled backwards]) fronting the band (The Nice Brothers--guitar, drums and bass).
The girls dressed in 40's fashions--feather boas and what-not--and the band wore velour smoking jackets. We did standards (Satin Doll, Sentimental Gentleman from Georgia, How Ya' Gonna Keep 'em Down on the Farm, etc) and jug-band favorites (Somebody Stole my Gal, Shiek of Araby, Crazy Words-Crazy Tune) and developed quite a local following.
There were a total of seven Slag Sisters over the years (never more than three at a time) and I had sex with them all.

Here's the David Bowie smooching story, for those who care:

I went to see him in The Elephant Man because I had a big old crush on him, and then I decided to wait outside the stage door to get his autograph on my playbill. There were maybe a dozen people out there at most, so he signed autographs, and then some chick asked him for a kiss. He kissed her, then, without prompting, turned around and kissed me. Then, another girl asked for a kiss, so he kissed her, too, then he turned back around to me, said, "Hey," and kissed me again.

My theory about this is that, I was very shy and very awkward, and--I realize this only in retrospect--cute. I was probably standing there with my head down, fidgeting and blushing, and he probably felt a little sorry for me.

I also have a question for you country music haters, but lest I hijack the thread, I'll just post it separately.

I feel strangely compelled to add my ten points to the general pot...

1]I'm contradictory...a hardened cynic, yet hopelessy romantic and idealistic.

2]I'm a nightowl

3]I'm subject to procrastination and waste far too much time thinking about doing things, but not actually not doing them.

4]I once spent a weekend with Mick Jagger on his private Island

5]I seek passion...in its various forms

6]I'm a mental thrill seeker...and a syberite

7]I've been told I can be arrogant and opinionated...but I just don't believe it!

8]I'm secretly shy

9]I've sadly begun to realise that I may ~never drive through Paris in a sportscar with the warm wind in my hair~.

10]I lied about No. 4

Aimee,

Quote:

Odd...I was just talking to a friend of mine about an experience I had years ago where I got so sick from eating too many Fritos combined with lots of wine and JackDaniels.

Apparently, the combination of wine, JackDaniels, and Fritos is God's way of curing a person of the "party lifestyle". Quick, let's spread the word.

Quote:

The fact that you would share such an obscure fact is a shining example of the deep emotional attachment that you and I share Douglas.

Actually, I called MrDarwin's pyschic hotline, and asked him for an obscure fact about you. Sneaky, eh? Unfortunately, he will not divulge the meaning of life.

In Christ,

Douglas

Between the nonexistence of hell and my current level of self esteem, I'd say you may very well be right.

1. I live in a farm house over 100 years old. Surrounded by cotton fields.
2. I have a little green parrot named, Poco Verde. He's a lap bird.
3. I'm an alcoholic magnet, but I'm better now.
4. I'm 48. Some days I feel older, some days I forget I'm not a kid anymore.
5. I have one daughter and one grandaughter. There will be no more of either.
6. I like most music except opera and country. Blues is my fave.
7. I love working with my hands, and love when I get into the 'zone'. Good thing, as my old house needs lots of tender loving care.
8. I hate cold weather.
9. I wouldn't trade my darling old husband for anything.
10. I love saltwater, inline skating, reading, gardening and laughing.

I too have the toe thing. I was always told it meant you would be the head of your household. Trouble is, husband has it too! Took us awhile to balance that out.
