I'm so tired of reading about democrats, terrorists, and mexicans. Tell me something interesting...anything at all.

I'll start. When I was 2 I choked on a peice of candy and almost died...I didn't breathe for a few minutes. The candy was a "life saver". :$

Re: Tell me something interesting...

When I was 11, I fell through the ice while on a Boy Scout outing.
Was "saved" by a kid that grabbed the hood of my jacket and pulled me out.
Never thought about it much until he blew his head off with a shotgun about 12 years later.
I don't know if I ever thanked him for what might have happened to me that day.

Re: Tell me something interesting...

We used to find dead cats under homes in dry, hot climates.

It was a toss up, take it home as a quiet, low maintenance, don't eat much pet? Or have it for lunch as jerky.

I'm thinking this isn't really what you are looking for? 8)

I like listening to the police scanner and target practice with prairie dogs.
I watch way to much TV, smoke to much and like my beer. Life is to short no to enjoy the things that you like.
Had my first fist fight in Jr. high and "had" my first girlfriend as well.

[colour=blue]3 years ago we hosted a japanese exchange student. As good hosts, we said "come back anytime, you're always welcome". We found out last week that she is coming back to attend university in our fair city.

I'm currently converting our 4 bedroom house into a five bedroom..................................

left him stranded in 5/6 foot chop seas. 3 1/2 hours of tow time. It was windy, cold, dark, and rough. They are glad to be back on stable ground, finally.

When my grandpa died a few years ago we found a mumified cat in his barn. Kitty disappeared about 10 years earlier...

I mean, they get a bit pissy when I say "there is more than one way to skin a cat"... what's their problem?

That was good of you. I've been out in bad seas. You deserve some more praise. You must be a true friend.

Re: Tell me something interesting...

True story: When i was about 8years old, i took apart an old watch. In what must have been a fit of boredom, I stuck a small gear up my nose, AND IT NEVER CAME OUT!!



I don't know where it went, but to this day, I have an uncanny ability to know the correct time.

When I was about 4 my male cousins (who were about 7-8) hung me in a tree to se how long it would take before I died. I stayed there for several minutes before the adults found me.

Thats right, blame the Democrats. Now you turned this thread into a political thread.
