One thing that I don't do is drink hard liquor, apart from a beer now and then.

The reason? When I was about seven or eight, my grandfather - who was in his nineties and a Parkinsons sufferer, but otherwise hale and hearty - would have a daily mug full of something and his shakes would subside. This fascinated me and he asked me if I would like to try some.

So, I did, not knowing what I was sucking through the straw. One mouthful later, I swallowed and felt like throwing up. I ran outside and retched. Dad asked me what was wrong and I told him that my grandpa had given me a swallow of what was in his mug. Dad laughed and said "You just drank whiskey: how was it?" My answer was to puke.  :buggedout: Never touched alcohol since.  :teddyr: :drink:

I still have my grandpa's mug though: I use it for my coffee.

Why I don't like coffee - because it tastes bitter and nasty, no matter how much cream, sugar, or chocolate you add to it!

Why I don't have hair.  Because of my damned genetically deficient family!  That's why!  Bastards!  BASTARDS!!!!!

Why I don't have facebook.  Here's the truth: The astronomical amount of friend requests I would get and the flooding of comments about how hot I look in pictures would probably break the servers and go to my head and make me impossible to deal with.

Phew!  Glad I got that out there! :bouncegiggle:

Instead you have a forum full of lonely male B-movie fans telling you that you're the hottest zombie since Linnea Quigley in RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, right?

I don't drink anymore, but when people do, they are, so I don't!

Ich stimme mit Ihnen, mein Freund. (I agree with you, my friend.)

Coffee is nasty! You sir, get a free drink on me for that one   :cheers:

Ha ha! Wish I had that problem, but there's no such thing as a "horror king" these days, and since the old masters (Karloff, Lugosi, Price, and the rest of our old friends)
have taken that title, seems as if I'm fresh out of luck. I am, however, an Ayleid king, and that carries a lot of responsibility in and of itself, so I guess I'm doin' alright!  :bouncegiggle:

Since I was three I haven't reached down and picked up a wasp. Because they have stingers.

Judging by your avatar pic, baldness suits you like Sir Patrick Stewart and Jason Statham.  :teddyr:

I don't do the things I don't because it's my personal choice not to. Simple as that really. I really don't care for the taste of coffee either...
