Who watches Southpark? I can usually stand 10 or 15 minutes of it before I have to walk away. The recent 'Walmart' episode was an exception and was hysterical.
Jim, I don't actually watch it. Some episodes are funny. My two kids, who are otherwise intelligent and caring individuals, love it and watch it occasionally. I've watched it with my son and we end up laughing hysterically and repeating selected lines for a few days. Don't know what that means. May be bad. :D-->
10. I was once on a local kid's TV show in San Francisco when I was 10 (for those who were in the SF bay area in 1966, it was the Mayor Art show on KRON-TV, Ch. 4.)
9. I once met Bing Crosby when he pulled into the Shell station I was working at. He was apparently on his way to Napa, I think for the Silverado Open Golf tournament there.
Mr Peeper's could only open his locker by measuring up from the bottom with a meter stick...and then kicking in the precise spot...the door would then spring open.
10. When I was a child...on Friday nights my Father would leave a quarter on the coffee table. When my brother and I woke up on Sat Morning, we would take the quarter down to the corner store and buy a large bottle of rootbeer.
Then we'd put the TV on (that my dad built...but that's another story) and watch Westerns and drink "shots" of "whiskey"...we even used shot glasses. The coffee table was our bar.
To totally sidetrack for a minute I've chosen a portion of an interview that may define to those who care why we might be cleverly entertained or a tad touched one.
quote:Beavis and Butt-Head on What's Cool and What Sucks
[by Charles M. Young, Rolling Stone, August 19, 1993]
(snip)
Charles Young: You seem to watch a lot of TV. Do you think television depicts an accurate view of the world?
ButtHead: Uh...like, are you really with the Rolling Stones?
Charles Young: I'm with "Rolling Stone," the magazine.
ButtHead: So, uh, do you get lots of chicks?
Beavis : Hey, Butt-Head, when chicks find out we know someone with the Stones, we'll get some helmet. Huh-huh, huh-huh.
Charles Young: I'm with the magazine "Rolling Stone." I'm a writer, not a musician.
Beavis : Wuss.
ButtHead: So you don't get any chicks?
Charles Young: Not like Mick Jagger.
Beavis : Mick Jagger's not a chick.
ButtHead: He didn't say he was a chick, Beavis. He said he doesn't *get* chicks.
Beavis : He said he doesn't get chicks like Mick Jagger.
ButtHead: That's right. Not like Mick Jagger.
Beavis : But Mick Jagger's not a chick.
ButtHead: Don't make me kick your foot again, Beavis.

Okay back to topic:
I don't like to shop, and when I do I like to do it alone.
#5 I once met Tom Waits at a Flea Market in Sebastopol, CA. He was with a boy, his son I think, looking at some cheap watches on a table. I said "Tom?" and he said "Yeah" in a voice 2 octaves below deep that I felt more than I heard. He mumbled something and I acted like I understood him. We looked at cheap gadgets and stuff and finally he looked at me and nodded and walked off.
I go barefoot in my cowboy boots even in the winter!
I love smoked oysters!
When I was growing up I used to hate chocolate ice cream and the color purple, I was a fan of Donny Osmond and I found out those were his two favourites so I forced myself to like them because he did.
I rode across the United States on a motorcycle.
I'm a leftie !
Before I ran, I used to be a gymnast
I rarely brush my hair, I like the messy (wild) look, (thank god, Goey does too!)
My dream job would either be a wall muralist (kids murals) or a photographer!
9. I have a very vivid imagination, so much so that in kindergarten I was afraid of the tall pine trees and would hide in a corner during recess
8. When I was a kid I wanted to be a dancer or a gymnist
7. One of my favorite movies is "The Sound of Music"
6. I love the theater
5. For years I thought I was too stupid to make it through college, only to finally discover I am not stupid at all.
4. I have a neighbor who really ....es me off and I really really really want to egg his house. Actually, I don't like any of my neighbors and want to pick up my house and move it to my old neighborhood.
3. In high school I saw the Rocky Horror Picture show hundreds of times and I still love dancing to the Time Warp.
2. I am going to be 38 years old in a couple of months and it is really bugging me. I cannot believe I am this old, I still feel like a teenager.
Shell, this is a great thread. Thanks for starting it. What fun to read of each other's quirks and unique experiences!
Here are a few more:
Abi reminded me of this one, with her fear of tall pine trees. When I was in first grade, I was so terrified by kids in skeleton costumes at our Halloween party that I crawled under the teacher's desk and wouldn't come out until my mom came and got me.
I peed my pants in about 5th grade while on a tour of a WW II submarine (it's still permanently "docked" in Cleveland) with my summer day camp. I was too embarrassed to ask a sailor (they were all men in those days) where the bathroom was. Thank God I was wearing a dress, cuz no one noticed except me and whichever lucky sailor got to mop up my puddle. :o-->
I was once engaged to a guy whose last name was Baggs.

Well then, I have to ask the question...
Who watches Southpark? I can usually stand 10 or 15 minutes of it before I have to walk away. The recent 'Walmart' episode was an exception and was hysterical.

Well, lemme think:
10. I was once on a local kid's TV show in San Francisco when I was 10 (for those who were in the SF bay area in 1966, it was the Mayor Art show on KRON-TV, Ch. 4.)
9. I once met Bing Crosby when he pulled into the Shell station I was working at. He was apparently on his way to Napa, I think for the Silverado Open Golf tournament there.

Socks, you met Tom Waits?!
Wow! It doesn't get any better than that.
"And the bouncer is a Sumo wrestler,
With the I.Q. of a fencepost.
And you cannot find the waitress
with a Gieger counter
And the carpet needs a haircut
And the piano has been drinking,
Not me."
One of our unsung (or only partially sung) heros, fer sure...
I used to live next door to Linda Ronstadt.
Oh, yeah, I once made the climb from the "Phantom Ranch" to the rim of the Grand Canyon in 4 hours.
I'm still out of breath...

"I rode across the United States on a motorcycle."
Cool, so have I.
What route did you use?
I have used I-40, I-80 and Highway #2 [The Queen's Highway] of Canada; to bike from coast to coast.

6. I drink the juice at the bottom of the pickle jar after all the pickles are gone.
5. I envy black widow spiders because they get to eat their mate and don't have live with them throughout their pregnancies.
4. Not only do I not fold underwear, I don't sort socks or make my bed (unless my mother is coming over).
