Post a Random Fact about Yourself

[Jag Wife]

I love peanut butter fudge.

[Trevelyan]

My blood type is A+.

[PatrioticAmerican]

I think I'm B+.

Guess it's not as high a grade as yours, Trev.

**doing a double take** Five nipples!?

[Melz]

My blood is AB- (part of the 1% of the world with this blood type)

I want to see a picture of this nipple action. Or do I?

[Teenager]

I have no idea what my blood type is. I think it's American.

[Wolfcounsel]

"i have 4 nipples... well 5 kind of.... :)" --Conserv_Atticus


I think every human, male and female, has a nipple line on each side of the torso. For some reason, only two develop to a noticeable size.

[Peachdiane]

I'm B+ (10% range) and have donated marrow. :)

[Black Phoenix]

I like knives, I like reading, I like rediculous and dark humor, I'm a member of Conservative underground, I think its really funny what happens when you throw a sea gull an asprin as its flying over head (BOOM!), I like debate, I've never tried rat poisen, I think pomagranetes taste terrible if you don't eat them right, I have ADD, I really like what happens if you feed pigeons rice (they blow up) I like seeing things blow up, I have no sense of direction, I have no idea where I'm going with this...

If ya want random facts about me, ya got um!

[Lazarus]

I'm B+ (10% range) and have donated marrow. :)Me too sweety!!! So is my dad and my Wifey... Strange to have so many B+'s in one cluster, huh?

I got a 50 out of 50 for this critical article review paper I had to write for my American Painting in the 19th Century class. This is despite this little excerpt from the directions to the assignment.

"<!--StartFragment -->You are encouraged to meet with the professor early and often about your article selection, and to submit a draft of your work in advance. This assignment demands significant attention, and can not be written the night before it is due. Trust me."

I, of course, did indeed write the paper the night before. :grin:

Trev, is that an Art Appreciation class of some kind? If you don't mind me asking, what sort of class is it, I mean what sort of assignments?

[Aric2000]

My blood is AB- (part of the 1% of the world with this blood type)

I want to see a picture of this nipple action. Or do I?

I am AB+, not sure how rare it is, but my wife is O-, and 2 of my kids are A- and 1 is B-, really weird how that works...

And the nipple thing.... I have no desire at all....

[Thunderclasp]

I'm half German, half French. :crazy:

[Trevelyan]

Trev, is that an Art Appreciation class of some kind? If you don't mind me asking, what sort of class is it, I mean what sort of assignments?

It is an art history class. It differs form class to class, because the professor also teaches other art history classes dealing with other aspects of art, but in this one we have three exams, this critical article review, and a museum paper and presentation. We had to go to this one art museum and choose a painting there, then we have to write a paper on it and give a five minute presentation to the class. Half the grade on the presentation comes form the professor, and the other half comes from the averaged scores of the other students.

These were the directions for that critical article review since you were curious as to what the assignments were like. We had to choose one article out of five to write on.
<!--StartFragment -->

"Guidelines for Critical Article Review Paper:

The goal of this project is to assess your ability to comprehend and critically evaluate scholarly material in an articulate manner. It will not only challenge your writing abilities, but also your capability to research and form opinions from material you read.<O:p</O:p

There are two aspects of this assignment: technical requirements that must be followed, and the paper’s content as a clear presentation of ideas.<O:p></O:p>


Technical Requirements for Critical Article Review:<O:p</O:p

2-3 typewritten pages, double-spaced, 10-12 size font <O:p</O:p
Cover page (not included in page count) which includes the following: complete bibliographical information regarding the article you are reviewing; followed by your name; course title; professor's name; semester. <O:p</O:p
Proper notation of sources within the paper and with bibliography/works cited page at end (must use MLA style format…not APA style, which is junk) <O:p</O:p
Free of spelling and grammatical errors (easily achieved by using spelling and grammar tool)
Note: if your paper does not meet the technical requirements in any way, it will not be graded, thus earning 0 points.<O:p</O:p

Content and Presentation of Ideas:<O:p</O:p

Your grade will be based on the following elements: thorough summary of article; originality of presentation; posing questions or arguments regarding the author’s critique; and clarity of prose. Obviously, a good deal of this grade is subjective, based on my perception of your understanding of the material. In order to do well, you must:<O:p</O:p

1. Read the article<O:p</O:p

2. Establish the author's key arguments (their thesis).<O:p</O:p

3. Summarize these points in a clear, concise manner.<O:p</O:p

4. Properly note direct quotes from the article (try and keep these to a minimum).<O:p</O:p

5. Raise your own questions regarding the reviewer’s motives and point of view, and speculate as to the possible validity of their criticisms, based on what you have read and learned in class.<O:p</O:p

You are encouraged to meet with the professor early and often about your article selection, and to submit a draft of your work in advance. This assignment demands significant attention, and can not be written the night before it is due. Trust me."

Thanks Trev, sounds VERY interesting. Art's my thang, so I was just curious ... do appreciate the effort (re: the class assignment). I won't hijack the thread further.

After 27 years I have STILL retained the knowledge and know how to drive a stick shift LMAO!!!!

My brother taught me how to drive his 77 Chevy Vega hatchback when I was 15, and I still remember his teachings and the know-how to drive a stick.

So I'm perfectly O.K. for my classes this comin week when it comes to driving Semis and stick shifting.

He he he

Its amazing what kids will pick up and Retain, never underestimate the absorption power of children around you.

I remember when my old man took me on trips in the woods in his Union oil distributor truck to fuel the loggers up in the woods, I remember how he drove his truck, where he kept his 'important papers' (since he hauled fuel oil he had to have a hazmat licence and their requirement was to keep your important papers in an accessible spot like in a pouch on the door or next to you on your seat.) I remember why he couldnt fill up his fuel truck tanks to the top completely for. Its just weird all the things my dad did I remember easily and going thru these truck driving classes, it all just comes flooding back to me.

Its funny the things you can remember from such a long time back...

How did you break your nose?

When I was a two year old I was playing on my dad's big chair. I climbed on top of the back of the chair. The chair tippled over and I landed face down with my nose on the iron rail of the slide bar bracket. Ouch!!!
The upside of things like this happening when you're a two year old is that you don't remember a thing about it later.

Something I find somewhat annoying is how when I click on a thread, it automatically goes to the very bottom of the page, and then I have to scroll back up to where I wanted to read. Is there some type of option that can be tweaked in the settings somewhere, or is this just how this forum operates?

You are most likely a) clicking on the little arrow of the last post or b) possibly the link in "New Posts", in which case they will both take you to the last post (being the newest). If you click the link for the topic instead (NOT in "New Posts" but on the main page), it should take you to the first post in the thread.

Strange. It always leads me to the top of the first page!

See above, which is why you're probably being directed to the first (page/post). If you want to go to the last, click the arrow after a poster's name or the link in New Posts.

I BELIEVE I have given you the correct information. If I have not, I apologize, this is what I have found to be true for me when posting. If you require further information, I'm sure Suzie or Doc can help you.

I was recently called a racist for getting mad enough to call a black man a democrat.

Calling a black man a democrat nets the 'racist' term???

I thought calling a Black man a 'conservative' and/or Republican would have netted you the 'racist' term.

Since blacks continue to hassle their own when they are with the Republican party or are Conservative.

[Trevelyan]

So, I was in my Lab Techniques in Immunology class today, and my professor also teaches the Microbiology Lab, so she was talking about how she did a test with some chicken from Wal-Mart. Well, she said she was genuinely disturbed by the amount of bacterial growth that occurred, and she said there were at least seven different types of bacteria she observed growing. The worst part, however, was the fact that one of the bacteria was a spore producer, so even if you cook the chicken thoroughly, you are not going to kill the spores. The only way to kill spores is to autoclave them.

So yeah, that was kind of disturbing.

[Wyatt_Junker]

Yes, but did she eat it?

[Melz]

Not that I have anything against Walmart, I do shop there when needed. But I will never purchase my food in the same place I can get an oil change and a haircut. I refuse to do this, no matter how much convenience I am giving up. I do trust grocery store chicken though, I hope it would have better results than Walmart. Yuck!

NT, if any of the pictures on your avatar (that I have seen, over time) have been actually you, then you DO look like Cheney! If they have all been of Cheney, then I have no idea, but I take your word for it :)

[Longhorn_Platinum]

:unsmile: I've been told that I look like Jeffrey Dahmer.

[Naturalized-Texan]

The most comical instance of someone telling me that I looked like Dick Cheney was on a National Review cruise out of San Diego in November 2002:

About half way through the cruise my wife and I were sitting on opposite sides of a table at lunch in the buffet. I noticed that a man sitting at the table behind her kept staring at me. When I got up to get some ice cream at the ice cream bar, the man came up to me and asked me if I was Dick Cheney. I told him, "No." He asked, "Are you sure that you're not Dick Cheney?" I said, "I'm sure that I'm not Dick Cheney." He went away, but I'm not sure that I convinced him.

There were several well-known dignitaries on that cruise - Ken Starr, William F. Buckley, Jr., Milton and Rose Friedman, Cal Thomas, Ward Connerly, Arthur Laffer, and several from the magazine - so I guess that he had seen some of those dignitaries and concluded that I must have been Dick Cheney.

That night Rich Lowry and Jay Nordlinger, from National Review, ate dinner at our table. I told them about that man claiming that I was Dick Cheney. They both agreed that I did look like Cheney. They joked that the man must have thought that that cruise ship was the "undisclosed location" where Cheney was located following the 9/11 attacks. For the rest of the cruise, every time that I met Rich or Jay they would greet me with "Good evening, Mr. Vice President" or "Good night, Mr. Vice President" and we would all have a good laugh.

Oh I love it. You can have an entire CD collection stored on what is a small portable unit.

Everything can be organized by artist, album, and so on, so finding what you want is extremely easy, even if you have thousands of songs on it.

It beats having to lug around a CD player and books of CD's.

It comes with software, and the program on it is used to transfer songs you rip off of CD's, or buy from the iTunes store, onto the iPod. You connect the iPod to your computer with USB connection.

Thanks for the link, not truly interested in an iPod with a fancy color screen, am more interested in one that juist plays the music.

This stuff is all new to me, all these fancy funky techno-toys I'm slow to catch up with.

I'ma bit old fashioned and sometimes i think modernity continues to drag me kicking and screaming into the modern age LOL!

Saw a LOT of people with iPods and other techie toys when I went to Daytona and on the airplanes goin to and back from there.

...am more interested in one that juist plays the music.

Well Rink, depending on how much music you want, I would recomend the Sony Psyc. I bought one last year, it has been working great for me, and it holds about 300 songs. (although I think a bigger version is out now). I bought it from Wal-mart for $99. Personally, it has started getting a little buggy, but it has endured an extremely rough life with me. As far as just a little MP3 player for good songs and small size, I think the Psyc is a great choice. http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:z_7deO22CBn0KM:www.circuitcity.com/IMAGE/product/detail/son/EC.SON.NWE105PSBLU.JPG

Every time I post on this thread, it seems like it's actually not something about me, but someone I know. Ah well, our relationships help define us too. :smirky:

So here's my thing..

I have a friend and co-worker named Boone who is taking the day off today to drive to Madison. He's going to become a U.S. Citizen! I am so very proud of him, and it's wonderful to know that even in light of all the recent clamor over illegal immigration, some of the system still works.

Boone is from Laos and he was one of the so called 'boat people' that fled that country's brutal Communist dictatorship after Vietnam. He's worked very very hard since he came to America and fulfilled all of the requirements, which for those of us who were born here may not realize, are Anything but a walk in the park.. But all that's all done now and he will be taking his oath of citizenship today ~ a very similar oath to the one I have posted in my sig ~ and afterwards he'll become our newest fellow American! :grin:

I don't know if he'll ever read this post, but I just wanted to congratulate him and every other American who has had to Earn their Citizenship. Welcome to America!

:patriot:

My brother-in-law's wife is from Laos. Her family was also some of the "boat people". Her dad was a high ranking officer over there so you can imagine the risk he took with his family. Toon (my s-i-l) got her American Citizenship a few years ago. We were very proud of her.

My son will graduate (early) from his program in December!

[Gonzo67]

Random facts...?

I almost got married once... fortunately, the bartender yelled "LAST CALL!" and they refused to sell me any more tequila... pulled my ass outta the fire that time!

I hear voices in my head, but I am not in danger of killing anyone, since the voices don't speak English, I have no way of knowing what they are telling me to do.

I've never made love to a "10", but I did bag a "4" and two "3's" one night.

If it's true that the most important thing in life is happiness... I'm gonna run out real quick and pick me up another case of beer!

I think politically incorrect, racial, ethnic stereotype, and chauvinistic jokes are funny.

I think the British have a far superior sense of humor than most Americans. But their humility is incredibly inferior.

I like to go to movies alone, get a coke, walk into the theater, and sit in a seat right next to a total stranger and just stare straight ahead to see how long it takes them to get uncomfortable and get up and move. When they do, I wait 10 minutes, get up, and go sit right next to them again, staring straight ahead for a few minutes, then I offer them a drink of my coke. This seems to mess with their head, but I find it amusing.

I enjoy going to McDonalds with my friends when they take their kids, so I can coerce the kids into having pickle races on the windows. I've been banned from 2 McDonalds for this, and asked to leave a third for playing in the ball pit with my buddies son (my Godson). Apparently, McDonalds doesn't believe anyone over the age of 12 should enjoy the "stupid things" in life.

I don't hang around with "serious" people. If you can't or won't laugh, or worry that someone may think you're an idiotic fool because you did something stupid in public, I don't have the time to waste. I fully believe that EVERY place can be fun, if you're secure enough to get stupid.

When I am bored, I go to toy stores and play with stuff in the isles. Frisbee catch in the isles with kids, putting the star wars storm trooper masks and running up and down the isles with plastic toy guns, etc. Just to see how long it takes for store employees to catch me and ask me to leave.

I love kids. Not in the same way Michael Jackson loves them... I love the energy and the unpredictable way they'll blurt out the most obvious of truths without thought of "decorum".

I'm gonna drink a beer now.

[Charity]

I like root beer.

[Longhorn_Platinum]

:unsmile: I hate root beer. And tea. Drink a 12-oz. glass of tea, then tell yourself, "I've just drunk more tea in a few minutes than Longhorn Platinum has in his entire life."

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

I don't like tea either . . . to me it's just dirty water. I like root beer okay, but coca-cola is my beverage of choice (when I want something to drink). If I'm thirsty, however, nothing less than water will suffice -- NO LEMON!

[Longhorn_Platinum]

Gonzo67:
I've been banned from 2 McDonalds for this, and asked to leave a third for playing in the ball pit with my buddies son (my Godson).

:question: Do they still have those? I thought fast food places all got rid of the ball pits, after that boy in Houston died from having played in one at his own birthday party. (True story.)

[Charity]

I don't like tea either
Hms-YOU from the South and don't like tea?
I love sweet tea. Once when we went to Niagra Falls, N.Y., I was stunned that you can't get a glass of sweet tea anywhere there.

[Trevelyan]

I despise tea, Mountain Dew, pickles, and cake. Yes, I said cake.

[True Grace]

I hate mustard. It is Satan's condiment.

[Trevelyan]

[Charity]

I hate pickle relish. Who in the world ever invented that stuff anyway????

[hdmundt]

My name is not Rene Jackson and I did not say, "I think therefore I am somebody........."

[Longhorn_Platinum]

:unsmile: If there really is a "Devil's condiment", it would be tartar sauce. Not only is it nasty, but I've never understood the tradition of serving it with fish. Why waste a perfectly good fish with that shstuff? And why do so many restaurants serve fish with hush puppies & cole slaw? (Oh, that reminds me, that's disgusting, too.) Why can't they serve fish with broccoli & mashed potatoes?

[ConspiracyBuff]

-I dip my french fries in Barbecue Sauce, I also put it on my mashed potatoes, cheesebugers and just about anything you would normally use ketchup with. I love BBQ sauce. Hate Ketchup.

-I get mad when people take huge portions and don't finish.

- I write rap lyrics and create hip-hop beats on my computer.

- I read the bible but I also look at other prophecy.

- I respect people who are honest with themselves, it is key to being honest with others.

- I read into conspiracy now and then, this is then followed directly by reading headlines from around the world and the various places which conspiracies allude to and I look for accuracies or discrepancies.

- I am a Christian but I do not believe we are alone in the Universe because i think that Alien phenomena is too vast and blatant to ignore.

- I am very good with kids, according to many mothers, family and onlookers.

- If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do just about anything.

-I pray, but I'm also very superstitous about things which are not common superstitions but personal- I watch for signs.

-I prefer to be non-traditional and other than work I don't like a routine so much.

- I believe in sacrifice and hard-work---I hate spoiled,arrogant,ignorant and lazy people, no, despise is a better word.

-I believe in taking a stand and never "letting it go" if you know you are right, at the same time i think it's important to keep your composure at all times and keep a clear head.

[Lubbock]

I didn't know you could make cornbread without putting in a couple of spoons of sugar!

[Gonzo67]

It's probably a southern thing... using sugar in corn bread would be like using instant grits to make breakfast. Unheard of in the south.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

I didn't know you could make cornbread without putting in a couple of spoons of sugar!

Say what???

Guess they do it different in Texas, down here in Flori-duh, we put cracklin' bacon pieces in our cornbread -- NO sugar ('ceptin' what I get from Bubba after I make him his favorite cornbread, :smirky: ).

[Lubbock]

Maybe it's a Texas/Oklahoma thing. I leaarned to make cronbread from my mama. She always put sugar in it.

All the years I lived in Virginia, everyone said I made the best cronbread on the planet, so they must have liked it with sugar. (?)

Now, I just use Jiffy Mix, and it has sugar in it. I can't make cornbread from scratch as good as Jiffy Mix cornbread.

[Antigone]

I put sugar in my cornbread too. I've never done it any other way.

I think he means he quit inhaling smoke.



Another random fact: my family and I found a home to rent and are moving to Mission Viejo which is back in the voting district I was in when I voted in 04. Gonna miss San Clemente/Camp Pendleton though.

And I will be able to make sure my vote counts with keeping John Cambell(R) as congressman even though Jim gilchrist is a better candidate.
