Title: Things I DO Know s**t About
Post by: ER on August 06, 2018, 09:13:44 AM
Yiddish swear words. No other language raises cussing to such high art, and I learned a few by listening to various old shmegegge shvantzes making schumps and shtik dreks at one another in the momloshen at the big downtown library when I was a kid. One ancient old Jewish man liked to call me a sheyne meydel and I assumed for years it was a dreadful insult instead of a kind compliment and that's how Yiddish tends to be, it oozes raw roughness.

Next time someone cuts you off in traffic just tell them to kacken ze auf de levanah!!, and you'll feel better inside.

Physics. That's why sometimes i look at a "new invention" and think "That can't possibly work."

Economics. That's why I don't buy "trickle down economics".

The back of my hand. I have it memorised in case anyone ever replies "Oh yeah, describe it then!" when I say "I know it like the back of my hand."

History - I read constantly and retain a fair amount of what I read.
Indian Artifacts - I can identify almost any type of point found in Texas and tell you how old it is, what flint it is made of, and if it's worth any money.
The Bible - I have studied it my entire life.

I'm good with history on WII, I will be so bold to say. And I'm real good with the Civil War too.
American-Indian Wars- I know about that the most.
 I'm learning alot about Vietnam since I was talking to my neighbor Todd, who was there. Todd's gone. He drank himself into a Hospice. He cried about Vietnam every day. I been studying it.

Rubber monsters: can't say I know them all, but since I've been continually trying to gather knowledge for at least a decade, I can definitely say I know quite a few though.

I also know quite a few things about insects/arachnids, mainly local ones, as well as marine life.

I know everything about comic books from he 1930's to the 1960s. Ask me a question.
I know that's real geeky- but it's true. I studied old comic books. That's how I learned how to draw.
 I'm an artist. I wanted to be a comic book artist all my life. I never did it, but I think I did better. Every issue of the paper I did for 10 years with Moron Komix is in the Lawton Museum.

I believe I have an adequate knowledge to be a board operator of a low power and/or independent radio station...

I can make old tube radios work if I have the parts. I'm pretty good at fixing old radios. Old TV's too. Of course-there ain't no market for that no more. My Uncle Doug and Dad worked at a radio and tv repair shop for years. It was called Green Radio. It was called Green Radio because it was owned by Walt Green. It was where the police station is now.

Just remember RC, if the nukes ever go up valve technology will still work so old radios will be like gold dust my friend and being able to repair them will be a much sought after skill.

The Persona series. I can talk about Persona for hours.
Unless it's related to Personas 1 or 2. I barely played those and didn't like them much.
