Is there any talent, or anything weird or quirky about you? Or something you've done, haven't done that's interesting? I'll start! I like peanut butter and brown sugar sandwiches, can't whistle :-[, have never been on an airplane, and I was a band geek!!! :-X And yes, there really was band camp!! ::) Oh yea, and have been married to my highschool sweetheart for 24 years, thats a talent right there ;)

I am double jointed, so I can bend my fingers backwards to where they touch the tops of my hands.

I used to write stories and I even won some awards for three of them.

I won the spelling bee in fifth grade.

1.  My age.  People usually think I am about 12-15 years younger than I really am.  :)

I won the spelling bee in fifth grade.

Really! When I was in elementary school, I won four spelling bees! :) I've always been good with spelling, ever since I was a little boy.

Well done for a great topic, gemini. I was umming and aahing about starting off a topic on quirks but since the last time I put a thread on was based on personalities, people might think I'm a psychologist doing market research over the net.  ;D

Quirks. God! I've got a few . . .

- I am prone to spontaneous dancing when happy or excited (in the style of Dick Van Dyke dancing on a roof-top doing his 'Me 'Ol Bamboo' routine).

- I have a severe lack of social awareness. E.g. I am prone to making impressions of famous people while queuing in clothes shops for example. This either fascinates or irritates people -  :-[

- I am quite egotistical. I sang the theme tune to 'The Fall Guy' over the answering machine to find out how my singing voice sounded.

Oh clever. I can't write Dyke.  ;D

I was in alot of spelling bees too!! Then when my daughter was in school, she was in them too!

Same here. People think my 22 yr. old daughter and I are sisters whenever we go out! ;D

I can crack every bone in my body

I can do imitations to a T


I am an overall wacky crazy guy! :D ;D


Howard

hmmm

some of you know this stuff already

Im a writer/artist and one of the business managers for Nonsense Humor Magazine (out of Hofstra University)

Ive been on TV twice (both for game shows)

I have performed standup comedy

I write album reviews for my college newspaper

I draw the political cartoons for my college's political newsletter

I am the treasurer of the Hofstra College Republicans

I have met: Steve Buschemi, THe Ultimate Warrior (twice), Sabastian Bach, Wayne Chrebet's wife lol, Scotty Pippin (well, technicly....I just didnt know it was him lol), Art Linkletter, Scott Feldman, and numorous political figures (of both parties)

hmmm...what else.......

I am currently trying to write my 4th movie script........


thats it for now

1.  My age.  People usually think I am about 12-15 years younger than I really am.  :)
;DSame here.People think I'm in my 20s.Cheers!

Let's see....I was a frequent spelling bee winner in school as well, and I am also mistaken for being in my mid to late 20's, although I just turned 41 (good thing too, I am way too immature to be 41!)  and people who really know me can't believe others think I'm a quiet, mild mannered person.

Nothing.  :P

I love Velveeta Shells & Cheese with Pace Thick & Chunky (Hot) Picante Sauce....I'm probably on deaths door ::)

Most people who know me think I'm extremely shy but I'm quite the contrary.  Most don't know I have this kinda crazy insane sense of humor.  I always like to make people laugh by quoting/imitating celebrities and/or people I know at convenient times.

Most people are also surprised by the fact that I'm an excellent singer...an excellent singer...an ex...well anyway...Again it's because I'm mostly shy.  I may talk in this shy little voice but then I get up there and sing Mozart or some kinda sh*t and they're all "WOW! Ruth can sing!"

I have yet to try that. I doubt I ever will.... :P

My age.  People usually think I am about 12-15 years younger than I really am.  :)

The past few years, people have underestimated my age too. I don't really like that. :-[

1.  I play piano.
2.  I strongly dislike all of you.

2.  I strongly dislike all of you.



1. I just developed a marked affection for Kenny that was never there before!  ;D

I can't remember anything: particuarly those things which I unequivocally HAVE TO remember.

I don't really enjoy cooking meals and stuff but I do like baking. 
I cook good Welsh Cakes.  My mother-in-law, who has won prizes for hers, says they are v good.

I'm mostly happy when I'm out and about and always laughing.  When I'm suffering from depression I stay at home, sometimes don't bother getting out of bed or answering the phone and cry for hours on end.  When I tell people I suffer from depression that look at me in disbelief - I'm sure they think I make it up.  :( 

The other thing that shocks people is how much alcohol I can consume and still talk sense!

In my spare time I like cooking, I make great chutney which is always a hit at our school fete.  I also make dolls clothes (my girls are too old now to dress their dollies) but I still make them for friends' little girls and for our parish craft stall.

I forgot about that one.  In college, I had a drinking contest with the captain of the rugby team.  Imagine his embarrassment when he got his behind kicked in a drinking contest with a 110# girl ;D


;D ;D ;D

I am also double jointed, which is creepy. I can kneel forward (my legs face forward when I kneel). I can also turn my head nearly right the way round........ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! (I think my double-jointed-ness is creeeepy) Also, I can imitate anyone with perfect voice and perfect timing of words. All words correct, too. Creepy..

hmmm

You go to Hofstra? Oh man! I wanted to go to school there! I was accepted there but I moved out here to NV cuz my family wanted me to be with them, for reasons that sounded good at the time...


I dunno what whould surprise people about me, except maybe when they see my tattoos, "You don't look like the kind of girl who would get tattoos like that!"

There are a couple of other things, but it only surprises guys.... ;)
Older guys come up to me and are surprised when I tell them my age. I have noticed that I am a magnet for older, unavailable men...

And the other thing I really can't say here. ;)

Rio

I have yet to try that. I doubt I ever will.... :P
Don't...you'll live longer!

I've lived in 5 different countries and done lots of travelling in my years.  :)

I love--absolutely LOVE--wearing neckties.

*gasp* Me too! People don't believe it... but I just find it so comfortable. I always wear a tie along with my concert going shirt, and people think I'm a little bit weird.. or something..

I love--absolutely LOVE--wearing neckties.

1.  I play piano.
2.  I strongly dislike all of you.


I play piano too!  So you shouldn't hate me...unless of course somewhere we had to compete...not so sure what I would think of you then...  :D  haha j/k

I am a Nostalgia Fan.I collect anything that's old it doesn't matter what it is. ;D


Howard

I love--absolutely LOVE--wearing neckties.



Me Too.But only on occasions. ;D


Howard

I love Velveeta Shells & Cheese with Pace Thick & Chunky (Hot) Picante Sauce....I'm probably on deaths door ::)


Thats not too weird.

Where I come from, Mac 'n' Cheese with ketchup on top is considered a delicacy.

The tick is to make sure the Mac 'n' Cheese gets a nice crust on it before you slather on the Heinz... 

:P :P :P :P :P

I can grill a mean bratwurst.

Me Too.But only on occasions. ;D


Howard

See, I'm not like that though--sometimes I'll dress up at school, for the fun of it.  I struggle to find occasions to wear a tie.  ;D

I play piano too!

I also play the piano. I had private lessons from 1991-93, and then had a piano class in my freshman year of high school (Fall 1994-95 semester), and six years after that, I had a piano class in college. I play periodically, although it would probably be good for me to practice a little more.

Ohh, where do I start with weird stuff about me...

1. I play piano too (you should hear me play "We Didn't Start the Fire" while screaming it... I totally slaughter it.)
2. I collect spoons. I only have about eight, but I hope to get some more next birthday :)
3. I used to collect stamps.
4. I speak a little Klingon (only the VERY basics though, like "Hello", "Shut up" and "Where is the lavatory?")
5. My hair never stops looking completely stupid. First I had the worst fringe known to man...
Then when I was growing it out I had two chin-length bits dangling from each side of my face- I thought that they looked cool...
Then I had a rat-tail over my right ear- I'd put it in after watching the Star Wars prequels and thought that that looked cool. I kept the same one in for about a month before I got sick of it. It was hilariously curly when I undid it, since it had been plaited for so long.
6. I get up at 6 every morning to watch "The Hoobs".
7. I have an "All Your Base Are Belong to Us" T-shirt.
8. I talk to my computer.
9. I used to play the recorder with my nose.
10. I like writing pointless lists of stuff about myself.

I love--absolutely LOVE--wearing neckties.


Yeah? I'm not really much of a fan. It feels like someone's strangling me all the time.

You must be the smartest bloke around (as well as Bobo who must be the smartest concert-goer in town).  :)

The other thing that shocks people is how much alcohol I can consume and still talk sense!


hahahaha me too !  Whether or not I remember it the next day is a whole nother story.

I dont really know what would surprise people about me - I tend to reveal basically everything about myself.

Lemme think of something.

I come across as generally a nice person who gets along with 90% of people who I meet.  But when I dont like someone - I can be a total cow.  I have given a guy in my team the silent treatment for 14 months so far.

I dont know how surprising this is - but I made a decision at age 12 to never have children and at 35 I am still very firm on that decision.

That I can have a very explosive temper, but it takes a lot to get me there.  :o

There are a few triggers that will short cut the process however  ;)

At the age of 14, I travelled 400 miles from Michipicoten Bay (on Lake Superior) to James Bay, Canada (southern tip of Hudson Bay)....  On some days covering 50 miles over water, other days covering 3 miles on foot where the water was too rough.

By canoe and on foot.  Taking all food and supplies with us.  No cars, bikes, or trains.

:) :D ;D

SWEET!!!  :D

I suffer from Agoraphobia. I used to drive my friends crazy because I was always late. Because it would take me about an hour just to calm down enough to leave the house. A few years ago it was so bad that I couldn't get into my car at all.

I can crack every bone in my body. ;D

That I might actually admit that Bush is not doing great as far as comminicating with this country right now....but at least I have the jewels to admit it...unlike the liberal Hillary/Billary/Kennedy/Kerry lovers

That I'm not afraid to be "labled" a liberal and don't understand why right wingers can't admit to something being wrong with one of their "leaders" without taking a dig at liberals.

I can lip sync with some feeling. :)


Howard

See, I'm not like that though--sometimes I'll dress up at school, for the fun of it.  I struggle to find occasions to wear a tie.  ;D


especially when you have to fix it.That's annoying! >:(


Howard

I like wearing ties, because I have an annoying habit of grabbing my tie whenever I'm nervous, shy, wanting to show my authority (well, my pretend authority) and/or moving into a new area (such as from outdoors to indoors).

Do you ever feel the need to say "I tell ya, I get no respect.......no respect at all!!"? :)

I can dance. I have studied ballet many, many moons ago but was never really good at that but I move and shake it.  ;D  I once won a trophy for dance. I'm not as limber as I used to be. I can't do as high of kicks as I used to but I can still do a pirotte. My husband LOVES my dancing.  ;)

I can appreciate that, dude ;) I just want to add that I really wonder why libs can't admit that clinton screwed up on his last day when he released crimminals..AND how ridiculous it is to say that he was one of our greatest presidents ever??? :o ::)

Particularly his pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich who, despite his pardon for the crimes that he was already convicted of, has WISELY chosen to not return to the United States.

The news agancies did not even scratch the surface to describe the array of questionable dealings he had (including at the time of his pardon), including those with figures reputed to be kingpins in the Russian Mob.  If you did a web search on notorious figures such as Lev Chernoy, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the Reuben Brothers, and other notorious Russian figures, they usually link back to Rich.

It would be REAL interesting to find out exactly what happened behind the scenes to get Clinton to pardon Rich.

I can walk for a couple of miles without getting so tired.

So can I...although I was probably unable to do so about half my life ago...

Anyway, something that would probably surprise people about me...

I can figure out what day of the week a certain date will fall on in a certain year, usually in less than a few seconds.

I fell off a cliff in Aspen, CO and survived.

Howard

I'm really insecure, actually.

I am left-handed
I have naturally curly hair
I want to write a book
I think some girls are cute

I love to act in plays

and I am somewhat obsessive compulsive

Erin :)

I've got a very famous cousin: Jimmy Carter.

I can crack every bone in my body ;D



Howard
are you Evil Kinevil?

I've got a very famous cousin: Jimmy Carter.
and Billy Carter too?  ::)

I can be a bit sarcastic and sometimes I'm a smartasss...I know it's hard to believe but it's true  ;)

Who is Billy Carter?

All I know is, Jimmy Carter is my 4th cousin or something along those lines. His mother is my maternal grandmother's 1st cousin. But they are from Georgia and we don't really know our relatives out east. So needless to say I haven't met him and neither has anyone in my family who lives over here in Texas.

I eat fast food for lunch almost every day, and sometimes for dinner too.
I am 5' 10" tall and my weight ranges from 130-140 no matter what I eat.

I have never had:
The flu
A bloody nose
Strep Throat
Chickenpox
Heartburn
A broken bone
Food poisoning


My favorite way to exercise is by jumping on a pogo stick.

I am very afraid of spiders.

Billy is Jimmy's brother, he had a beer out called Billy Beer in the 70s

I have only 4 toes on my right foot

I can sing VERY well but I have no desire to be a singer or an American idol.
I can however compose music from the notes to the lyrics. I've already written about 20+ instrumentals and approx 9 songs with lyrics, but I'm too shy to show my work outside my circle of friends.

I want to write a book


I would like to write a book too. I've started but never finished.  ::)

One day . . .  :)

I thought it was 4 1/2 ???


More or less... it is just a small bit.. so yes i suppose there is still a bit of toe there..

are you Evil Kinevil?



Well,I can try to contort my body but it's hard to ;D


Howard

I can lip sync



Howard

Were you born with 4 toes or did you lose one to an accident.  I went to school with a girl who had lost a couple of her toes thanks to the mower!

That I'm actually quite a nice guy in real life? :D

Or that I worked for 3 years with a well-known British serial killer, Fred West. :o

I slipped in the bathroom and my foot went through the skirting tiles sliceing it off. The skin around it rotted even after it was treated because some bits of Tile and what not got in there, and about half the skin on my foot had to be cut off to stop the spread. It was Gross!!!

Ouch!  My brother-in-law nearly lost in a toe in exactly the same manner.

mmmhmmmm....that's what everyone says ;)
Dad was in the military 20 years so I didn't grow up in the south

I'm an only child.
I'm the only grandchild on either side of the family.
I have no aunts, only two uncles (both of which have been single all their lives, and a deceased uncle who was also single his whole life).

No.I'm nothing ike Milli Vanilli. ;D

..Wow, rather barren family tree there.

I forgot to mention one other quirky thing about me.

I can't frown.  My forehead muscles just won't wrinkle up like that.

That i'm actually quite a shy person in real life. No-one on the board'll believe that - especially not anyone who's wrote a parody on AmIRight, they all think i'm all-mouth!  ;D

I can fold myself in half, backwards among other things. I'm very flexible.

Most think I can be quite nice, but I do have sarcastic side that I tend to hide, when it does shine it is like a sharp razor, so I use it sparingly.

That I'm a sappy person.

I didn't go into details..now did i?



Erin :)

Oh and BTW, tell Chris I said HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!




i will....but I have a thread started for that in the playful penguin place...so kindly move that comment over there!


Erin :)

My moods can shift rather rapidly, but in a predicatble order, and never a rapid up-shift. It's always a down-shift, in this order:

Happy or Normal
Sad, which channels into Either
Depressed    Lonely    or Angry
Angry can turn violent, lonely can mix with depressed, depressed just stays depressed.

Let's see:

I made it to the finals of the Long Island spelling bee 11 years ago
I have much better hand-eye coordination than most people expect
I might've written more parodies of hit songs from the 2000s than anybody ever
I self-published a book and hopefully i'll write a book that makes money one day
I have a degree (finished classes in december) from a top 50 liberal arts college (US News ranking) but no job


I think that's enough

I think your pregnant, and that just happens to be the oddball "food" that you crave. Weirdo.

People have been known to crave non-foods, such as dirt, when they're pregnant... :P

ME and you both sister. Chalk is not my thing, but I have a habit of eating a lollipop and not stopping at the stick. I used to devour a whole pixie stick, wrapper and everything. In other words, I like the taste of paper. :P

Meh.. it isn't just women. If i have a muffin.. the paper tends to go down as well  ;D

OMG....that is so funny.....



however...I have been guilty of that too...esp the lollipop stick....it just keeps unraveling as you chew it...and what else are you supposed to do with it..besides eat it or throw it away?


LOL

Erin :)

you are strange, paste is a lot better tasting   :D

ya....I remember when I was in elementary school...there were kids that used to eat paste and glue all the time


Erin :)

I used to love glue!! :D

I never really liked the taste of glue...but I always thought it was fun to pour glue on my hands..watch it dry and then peel it off! LOL!


Erin :)

^;D
actually I've never tried that (yet ;))

hehehee..


it's never too late to give it a whirl!! LOL!


Erin :)

Pass me the glue!!
;D

i remember one kid in grade school who would eat an entire piece of paper....while sitting in class....


why were we kids so strange?  well....some of "us"....ahem..."me"...never change! LOL!



Erin :)

Yeah,I'm a weirdo ::)

I wonder why kids like to taste everything they see...probably curiosity ::)

I have no idea....


my little boy (who will be 3 in a few weeks).....attempts to eat everything....he will find all sorts of gross stuff and he knows it gets to me.....he will hold it up and "threaten" to eat it....stuff like crumbs he finds in his car seat...gross stuff like that! LOL!


when he was really little...he ate one of those furry catepillars....we had to take him to the hospital...he had to get operated on because the kind he ate happened to have poisonous prickly things on it....but thank God...he didn't have any in his throat....it was quite a scare....


kids are nutso! LOL!


Erin :)

Actually you can buy insect burgers :P

my sister was the same way when she was little....

she tried to eat a bug...she chewed on a cigarette once.....


when I was about 4 though...I had a very GROSS experience....


my uncles both chewed tabacco....and would spit it in a small paper cup....

well...I was young and thought it was someones PEPSI or something....

that i really went to college and was in the mental health field till i took a break to be a waitress :o lol go figure

that I have an ear for music ;D



Howard

I do too. When I was little I could play by ear (and still can), but I could figure out the melodies to songs and play them on the piano (or electric keyboard). But when I was only a year old, I had this little piano and could play happy birthday without reading any music first. I don't remember that, but my parents certainly do.

Apparently to my friends in RL, I'm not as innocent as I seem http://www.inthe00s.com/smilies/angel3.gif  I just found out that a good friend wanted to invite me to join their "party group", but was worried that I'd get offended because they sometimes get "a little crude".......if they only knew the "real" me (as some of you do) http://www.inthe00s.com/smilies/goodnevil.gif



That's happened to me, too.  ;) ;D





Cat

I can make farting noises by pressing the palm of my hand over my entire eye and pushing in and out.....


I can do that too!!! Seriously! I thought I was the only one!  :o
Wow, funny how people can share strange talents...

I'm actually no where near as talkative/outgoing in real life as I am on here.  8) :D

No one told me I wasn't supposed to!!


what would you find surprising about me?    I can play the flute

I've always wondered why they keep it in most of the time.

How do they keep it in? ;D

I don't know if this would surprise people or not, but I don't socialise and mix with people very well in real life. I have a handful of friends at school, but at home I have only a couple. Everyone round my estate is friendly toward me, there are no people who don't like me (that i'm aware of), but some weeks i'll only go out on a couple of occasions. I've always been the same - I just can't seem to mix very well with large groups of people... never mind, i'm happy as I am so no worries  ;)

Oh, and i'm also a heavy depressent who suffers from paranoia and anxiety who is actually communicating using my brainwaves from my lovely padded cell in a mental institute on a remote island in the middle of nowhere...

they prefer to BURP and taste it instead of FART and waste it   :D

I am the opposite. People are surprised at how much food I can pack away.




Cat

People are often suprised at how sappy i can be. I wouldn't go in the animal shelter the other day (we're looking for another dog) Because it was one of the ones where they sometimes put down healthy dogs because they aren't found homes. We drove all the way to the Humane Society instead.

That's cool. You let your good principles get in the way of getting a dog from there.  :)

After our discussions I am not surprised but I like to call it 'mature' rather than 'sappy'.  ;) :)

That's a very good principal. I respect that.. but I thought the Humane Society did that too.. at least that's what my Grandfather told me years ago.

why did you take your Grandfather to the Humane Society, are Old Folk homes too pricey?  :D

They put sick and injured dogs down if they can't do much about them.. they usually tend to leave them be otherwise. I think if a dog is there for a few years they tend to possibly have them put down unlike many organisations where the turnover is around 3 months.

What would surprise people about me?

I like both 80's and 90's pop cluture.  Some people on these boards insist to attack the 80's or 90's because they prefer one decade over the other.

I like Black women(I am a white guy and I think some of the guys I meet in my life are shocked about that. I even had a black guy at a place I used to work at surprised about that. I still like white and Spanish women though.

I am mysterious i think. A woman at a place I used to work at was like I could picture you partying. For the record I don;t go to party;s. Its not my thing.

I watch the UPN Show "Girlfriends" sometimes.

People are surprised that I am alone when I go out.

I like Pop/R&B music from the 80's and 90's. Most guys my age do not listen to that kind of music.

I like to sing hit songs sometimes from R&B artists.

I feel the same way. I like to talk better one on one with a person than with a large group of people.

I too feel much easier on one to one situations but have got used to large groups in the last three years or so.  8)

People would probably be surprised to know that one of my arms is slightly longer than the other :o

I always assumed the name came from Moonlighting.  Wasn't Cybill Shepherds character called Maddie?

Really?  I would think you would WANT to get one from the animal shelter....one less dog that they can unnecessarily put down :-\\


It's cus i don't like to see them, because you can't take 'em all and you know some of them will be put down.

I make lots of comics... Nobody guesses that I do, so maybe it's a surprise?

Crab Rangoon in sweet and sour sauce.

I also love Hot Braised Chicken, General Tso's Chicken, Orange Chicken, Sweet & Sour Pork (Cantonese Style), Shuan Niu Rou and Yue Shi Kao Ya which is basically Roasted Duck but done in a very special Cantonese style.


OOOHHHHHH!!! I LOVE Chinese food and noone else in my house does :( Can I cum too? PWEEEEEEEZE????


Well, for one thing you made a typo that just begged to be exploited ::) Wait till vegas  ;D
