Post Something Interesting about Yourself

For me- I once ate 20 Jack in the Box tacos in one sitting a few years back. There were 4 other people so we needed a lot of tacos, the best part was when I walked up to the counter and said "100 tacos please". They had to give them to us in batches of 20, the bags kept coming untill we realized they had given us 120, and even brought another bag after that, though we let them know. A bright bunch they were...lol Needless to say I felt horrible afterwards.

I collect Santa Claus's. Then big 13" ones with the really nice fabric and detail work. I'm 6'2" 300lb and have lifted weights all my life. People usually don't put the two together. They think the Claus's are my fiance's.

I ate two dozen plums for breakfast during A-School.

Spent the entire day writhing in pain in the head.

I like plums.

I posted some really stupid thread tonight and then it got closed. But no one cares.

I am a Lighthouse enthusiast. Really. I once drove up the coast of Maine visiting different ones.

I play nearly all low brass instruments with varying skill levels.
I have one working eye.
three things, oh well

Chicks dig me because I rarely wear underwear, and when I do, it's usually something in a mesh.

- Ummmm, I'm very accident prone (refer to first to part of sig.

)
- I once drank an entire case of Mountain Dew in one night while studying for an exam in my first year of college.
- A lot of people expected me to do architectural in college because I am artistic (I guess), however I went in a complete opposite way and now I am in Petroleum.

I am not serious about the internet, too. But I know of people who are.

Cool, so do I. Tuba and Euphonium for classical and trombone for jazz (bass bone mostly).

I once walked in to the McDonalds at Picadilly Circus and ordered the following: 70 Big Macs, 64 Quarter Pounders, 64 Quarter Pounders with Cheese, 30 Hamburgers, 32 Cheese Burgers, 6 Dozen regular orders of fries, 32 Apple pies and a small coke.

The back story. I was stationed at RAF Wethersfield (Essex) and was getting married. She was a small lady and I couldn't get a ring "off the shelf" that they could cut down for her without weakening the setting for the diamond. So, I found a jewler to custom make the ring in London. It was a Thursday when I was going down to pick it up. Word got around bass and my phone started ringing in the office with everybody asking if I could bring back a McDonalds order. It was a small bass and there were no Mickey D's out where we were. I ended up with three medium sized suit cases and a number of take out bags from the store. The girl at the counter actually asked me, "To Go, or will you eat that here?" All the yanks at the base (bass?) were stuffing their freezers with Mickey D's to nuke later.

When my fiance found out that I had picked up the ring, AND a rather large order from McDonalds and han't brought back any burgers for us, she was pissed at me!!! 2000 quid for a ring, and she gets pissed over a Quarter Pounder. Go figure....

Never did Euphonium. Should've, I haven't played any wind instruments at all lately, should practice some.

I do different things with different hands. I write left handed and throw left handed. But I play bass right handed and use my right hand for most everything else. Get this. I swing a bat right handed, but golf clubs left handed (although I don't really get into golf). When I played tennis in school, I could forehand with both. The strangest thing about all this is my dad is the exact same way...only with opoosite hands. (writes right handed, throws left, swings a bat left and golf clubs right, etc.) I play a little bit of drums and NOBODY can sit behind my kit. Everything is in the strangest place because I'm so messed up with which hands I use for which drums and cymbals. I have a remote high hat stand so I can use the pedal with my right foot but lead with my left hand.

it really was. I didn't call ahead or anything, which was probably a dumb thing to do. Picadilly Mickey D's was always crowded, but I did hit them in the mid-late afternoon. They were very good about it too. The kids at the counter started to panic when they realized they weren't going to be able to server other customers for awhile. The manager stepped in, asked if I'd mind if they squeezed in other orders while mine was being done. No, I didn't mind. I mean I was carrying it all away in suit cases and then getting on a train back to Braintree, then on to the base. Obviously, I didn't care if it was all still hot. I still have the piece of paper where I wrote down everybodys order. Has to be some sort of record.

You are ambidextrous....I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.....

You should have kept the receipt too.
As for me, I once rode a moose drunk.
