Hey, you started it. [/B]
It is, isn't it? I remember when I was typing that I paused after the word "subjunctive" and somehow came up with case.

1: I am new to the forum.

2: I love music.

3: I have had my face 3 inches from the snout of a shark while diving.

4: I love reading ancient literature.

5: I enjoy comedies.

6: I pick up my new timbales next week !

7: I have broken over 30 bones. All my own I'm afraid.

8: I consider the final day of the Roman empire to be 29/5/1453.

9: My feet are big.

10: I like the following jokes.
A drummer is upset because all his band mates tease him "You can't play a real instrument. You can only bang things"
This upsets him so much that one day he decides to buy and learn some other instruments. Off he goes to the music shop.
Approaching the counter he says to the sales man " Hello, I will take that red saxophone on that wall, and the white accordion on this wall."
The sales man looks at him and says.."You're a drummer aren't you sir ?"
"Yes, how did you know ?"
" A good guess. I can sell you the fire extinguisher, but I'm afraid the airconditioner is not for sale !"

The same thing happened to another drummer. He got even more fed up and went to a music store.
Approaching the counter he said.... "I would like a Fender statothruster and fluid royce tremulo bar !"
"You're a drummer aren't you sir ?"
"Yes, how did you know ?"
"This is a travel agency !"

Who is blonde, has big breasts and lives in Brazil ?

Salman Rushdie.

1. height: 5 feet 5.5 inches
2. shoe size: 8.5, I have big feet
3. have chronically low self esteem and a very fragile ego (no not really, quite the opposite)
4. was bored and disinterested in high and junior high school so did not learn many important things, like how to spell English words. Side note: what the hell does "ergo" mean, I swear, before I found this site I had never heard that word... okay looked it up, why don't you just say "therefore" if that's what you mean *sigh*
5. Am a virgin
5a. uh, was not serious about 5. I was a virgin once, tho.
6. Am not serious very often (serious now, tho)
7. I think Dr. Rick is hot, have you other women seen his photo?
8. horseback ride, run, surf, read, spend a lot of time baking in the sun, ergo will probably die of malignant melanoma
9. think life is for living, not for being all cautious and anal or, *gack*, spending finite time in church studying that grim, fairytale, religion stuff.
9a. On occasion of being forced into said grim, fairytale studying situations (ie church) with relatives, I make the habit of exclaiming "jezusFREAKINGchrist!" at least once...
10. have a dog, named soup, who sleeps in my bed at night and lays on my feet by day...
10a. am of the belief that dogs are a far superior variant of animal than humans

Tara, you could type 'ergo' 2.25 times with the keystrokes required for 'therefore'. Same for 'thus'. 'Hence' is slightly less efficient, but still much more efficient than 'therefore'.

I hope this answers your question.

Actually, all but three of the 10 I posted are from "Unusual Facts About the Human Body"

The part about the "born without kneecaps" is true of all infants. I forget the specifics but I think they form within the first 6 months.

My fractured bone is the 5th metacarpal of my right hand. I had a small hairline fracture. I damaged it by closing my fist and striking a cinder block wall covered with ceramic tile. I shattered the tile but I find it interesting how strong the bones are though.

P.S. 3, 6, and 8 are specific to me. Only 15% of the pop. can curl their tongue into a tube.

Okeleedokelee, here goes...
1. I'm a HUGE Rush fan. (meaning I like them a lot; physically I'm actually quite short.) Seen them 10 times, plan to see them more.

2. I think the episodes of "South Park" that address religion are the smartest things I've ever seen on tv.

3. I love Braves baseball but am married to a Dodgers fan, who was clearly dropped on his head repeatedly as a child.

4. I have an immature tendency to rebel just to piss people off, when they try to suppress or discourage my inalienable right to express myself and my beliefs (or lack thereof).

5. I wrote my master's thesis in cultural anthropology on fantasy league baseball.

6. I spend several hours a week in juvenile court (job related, I swear).

7. Despite the aforementioned Dodger issue, I am married to the love of my life.

8. I have 9 tattoos.

9. I think Kurt Vonnegut is an uber-genius.

10. I feel surrounded by the enemy in my particular region of the country, but I'm hangin' in there!

Peace Y'all

8. I married my highschool girlfriend... 9 years ago this month. We get on wonderfully, especially when doing projects around the house.
1. Liver makes me gag violently. I can't even eat giblet gravy that has been strained of all the chunky stuff.
5. My loose underwear phase lasted 13 years. Now I prefer the non-wadding tight boxer briefs.
7. I hate tip jars at the register. Otherwise, I'm a big tipper.
6. My favorite dish is pho.
3. I prefer hoppy lagers.
10. I just discovered karaoke.
4. I just discovered that I cannot sing.
2. I have an inferiority complex for which I compensate by copping a condescending attitude with everyone I meet.
9. Sad movies make me cry.

Talking

1) I saw prollyrong's name on the screen and it made me giggle.

2) I'm still chuckling over prollyrong's name.

3) I don't like wax as much as I thought I would.

4) Although I like a little hot wax at playtime.

5) I can't think of anything else right now.

6) Did I mention that I liked the name "prollyrong"?
