tell us something we don't already know (Page 3)

I was born in Germany (Navy brat)

Happycow and I started dating in High School

The best job I ever had was when I worked in a movie theater. The whole Forensics thing is cool but I loved the movies.

I don't read...anything, ever. In college I only bought the books I HAD to have.

I would like to get to 2400 posts, but I never have anything good to write about

I hear ya. I used to hate kids. I never wanted to be a dad because I thought I'd be terrible and didn't want the guilt of screwing up some innocent kid. Amy had similar feelings (she thought I'd be a terrible dad, too--kidding), and that's why we waited so long (we were married 10 years before Nola).

But it turns out that they're not so bad, and I think I do a pretty good job.

Birkierunner - 2006-11-09 12:50 PM I'm a life-long Boston Red Sox fan and every time I see emac21's avatar with a picture of Bill Buckner I cringe....bad memories from the 1986 World Series

Ya know, I've been wanting to ask what that avatar was meant to be and whether it was photoshopped but I was a little worried that it was atually emac21 and I didn't want to insult him. Ummm I assume emac21 is not Bill Buckner...

Hmmm.  I'm a pretty dull, boring person - trying to think of things that might be interesting.  In the past I've talked about my mechanical heart valve, so that's not news.  Here's a few things:

• I'm left-handed.  In fact, my whole family - mom, dad, & brothers were left-handed.
• I have two fused vertebrae in my neck.
• My mother was friends with James Dean growing up in Fairmount, IN

Mark 

Born , raised and still live in Montreal , Canada and I don't play hockey.  Both of my kids ( Benn and Mandy) and my wife play hockey so I have learned to drink  hot chocolate while I freeze my butt at the arena.

• In college, I once had about 37 jobs at once. I 1) was the news editor for the school paper; 2) I delivered the school paper; 3) I was an RA; 4) I worked at Arby's (and still eat Arby's occasionally, ironically); and 5) Lifeguarded. And went to school full time for Biology. I got bored after I quit swimming, I guess.
• I can chug like nobody's business.
• I like sexy time. High five!
• Jaws if my favorite movie.
• When we were kids, I got my brother to thow his lit sparkler in a dumpster, which caused a giant dumpster fire.

My grandpa struck out Ted Williams.  He was a good sidearm pitcher for his town ball team and Ted came through on some exhibition.  The story is that it was a 13 pitch at bat with Ted fouling off everything that came at him.  Finally, he took a big cut on what he thought was a fastball up the middle and it dove on him at the plate. 

I'm not sure I want kids either... 

I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up.  I've been trying to figure it out for at least 5 years now and I still don't know.  It makes me a little crazy.

I had back surgery when I was 20.  Had some of a herniated disc cut out.  I have scoliosis (they noticed it during checks in gym class but *never told my parents*), degenerative disc disorder, and arthritis.  But I don't care

I g33ked out over meeting Jim Cantore of the Weather Channel back in August while on vacation.  Other than that, I've never met anyone famous.  Well, we passed Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick in the Village one day while they were taking their kid for a walk in a stroller.  All I saw was a bunch of people looking at a kid in a stroller, so I just kept walking.  My friends were all googly and I was still oblivious.  When they told me who it was, I looked back down the block and my first thought was "Wow, they're short."

Add me to the no-kids club.

I had a picture taken with Jacky Chan when I was a teenager.

shadowfax - 2006-11-09 1:36 PM I married a stripper Well, he was one at one time, right after college, one of those All Male Revue's. I joke about it all the time, but he was really serious about it, LOL! Yes, I have had a lap dance from him

Heh...maybe if you post one of his pics, Autumn'll post one of hers.

autumn - 2006-11-09 1:41 PM i think if we ever have an all girl BT get together, it should be at amy's house

Mmmm...all girl-BT get together at my wife's house. Thank you, Santa!

YES!!!!

I married one, they let the issue slide.

My previous avatar was the NY Yankee logo, I'm a fierce fan.  After they choked this year, I got a lot of crap, my way of slinging it back was posting a picture of Bill Buckner.  I'm in search of a new avatar, but am having some trouble.

BYTW Renee - My wife says that I have devilish good looks, got best looking in HS, and @ 32 years old, still can't grow a moustache.

I too am left handed.

I have never had a cavity.

I was once in a bar fight in Guantanamo Bay.

I make a lot of my own furniture (coffee tables, desks, shelves, etc.).

I'm smack dab in the middle of a long-overdue divorce.

BT is the first website I go to when I get on the internet.
