I used to be a Sunday school teacher (way back in 1986) and I was popular with the children - I wonder why? :wink:
From 80 to 85, I drove a cab in Columbus. A Checker! I loved that car. Some of the passengers, on the other hand...did I ever mention the guy who had me watch his gun for him when he went in to buy wine?
I've been a butcher,a baker....but not a candlestick maker. :wink:
I was the unofficial Twin Galaxies world champion on Dragon's Lair back in 1985, with an unofficially recognized score of 421,828 that was attained at the now defunct Supercade arcade in Flemington, New Jersey. At the time I submitted the score, Twin Galaxies was out of money and out of business due to financial issues and my score was returned to me with a letter from Walter Day explaining the situation. I never tried again after that.
I spent the summer of 1981 blowing insulation out the back of a truck in 105 degree heat.
WORST . . . JOB . . . EVER!!!
I haven't had a driver's licence since 1985. I could get one-I just...don't.
I suppose the roads are safer!
As I said when someone posted this topic on Facebook - there is a reason you don't know the things you don't know about me.
Hell, if you don't know something about me, I probably don't remember it.
About eleven years ago my friend got pregnant and had to take time off her job as a Jazzercise instructor and asked if I'd take over a few classes until a replacement came in. I figured how complicated could running a couple Jazzercise classes be, right? Oh, man, the paperwork, the conflicting egos, the dueling cliques among those predatory soccer moms.... As my favorite Texan said, "El, I think you were the least popular Jazzercise instructor ever."
An understatement.

I feel like there should be a slasher film based on this post
*pauses, takes a deep breath* I like to wear angora sweaters.
ER and I have been friends for 14 years. :cheers:

So did Ed Wood, and he's an icon, so...yeah, I'm good with it.
1) Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry. (no not really)
2) I'm a licensed, non-practicing patent agent,
3) I actually can spell, I just can't type.

I am an ordained minister. Shocking, I know.
I came in fifth in the Northern New Jersey semi-final for the 1984 National Spelling Bee. I still have the plaque, and to this day, my mother thinks I should be listing that on my resume. (I'm like "Mom, I was fourteen years old. No one cares." :teddyr: )
I have been present as a background/extra during the filming of two movies: "Class of Nuke'Em High" and "Ghostbusters II," but to the best of my knowledge I don't actually appear onscreen in either one.
18 years ago I made counterfeit money using a color scanner and a color printer. A buddy of mine took some and tried to use it and got caught. I ended up having a conversation with the treasury department.
I didnt have sex (with another person) untill I was 23. I had plenty of sex-with Hustler magazines. But I would cheat-with cheap whores like CHIC and some old 60's underground s**t my dad hid in the basement.
I'm not circumcised. I still wear a hoodie. I hope some racist dumb ass don't shoot me when I'm drunk and p**sing on a light post.
Im often most comfortable at a yard sale or thrift store. I resell a lot of stuff I buy there.
I hate pantyhose, luckily I dont wear them. I seriously have issues even touching them.
I collect gothic romance novels from the 60s and 70s.
I do it for a couple of reasons. First, they remind me of my mom, because she used to read those things by the boxload. Second, I have always thought the covers were both cool and stupid at the same time. As a kid, I always thought they were horror novels because of the covers. Now, I just think it is funny how almost every gothic romance cover had the same elements: a woman running towards the reader, and a house/mansion/castle/lighthouse in the background with only one light on.
I worked as a car salesman for about 2 months back in the 1980s. For this, I apologize to the world.
I'm afraid of giant great white sharks! --- I mean the REALLY big ones...

Yeah, kind of like those old covers for the Eerie Publications pulp rage like
Weird,
Tales From The Tomb and
Classic Horror Tales. Only in those cases, the women usually had reason to run
towards the castle or mansion and not towards the reader, because they were being chased by some monster, lol

I would probably collect those except those things are expensive. Hell, most people want to get rid of the gothic romance novels. And, I almost hate to admit it, the damn things are actually fun to read. As stupid as a bag of hammers, but fun.
Occasionally I give in to my feminine side and dress up like this:

Trev, if you looked like that when you dressed up,
I wouldn't mind seeing you. :buggedout: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:
I did telemarketing for a couple of months, though I only called up businesses. "Hi, can I speak to the person in your purchasing department who's in charge of outside contracting?"
I was absolutely terrible at it.

Oh YUCK! I hate pantyhose too. I don't know how women can wear them!

I haven't bought garments that were actually new (aside from underwear & socks) in 2 years.
I'm a kleptomaniac.

I'd pay green cash money for those soiled undies . . .
I'm claustrophobic. I also have a certain uneasiness when looking at things such as sharks or whales. Something about large sea animals bothers me. Hard to explain why just scale and the fact we don't live there. Makes me feel uneasy.

I stayed
virgo intacta until I was 36. TMI I know, but true.*
* And yes, I enjoyed the experience. :thumbup:
