1. I am NO WHERE near as brash, rude, opinionated, or insensitive as "Dubs" can be on this site.

1. I'm 5'2". My parents are 5'1" & 5'2". My fiancee is 5'2". When I have children, if they eat their vegetables and take their vitamins they might also grow to be 5'2".
2. I don't eat vegetables.
3. In a somewhat related note to #1, in my last year of little league I played every inning of every game at 2B for my team. I failed to reach base only once all year, and was 3 for 4 in official at-bats. The rest of my plate appearances were walks or HBPs. I hit one ball out of the infield all year.
4. I had my own small flock of sheep as a child despite not living on a farm. I kept the best as my own 4-H & FFA projects and sold the others to other kids for their projects. I did the same with rabbits.
5. Aside from my stature and my last name, the other thing I got from my father is being a fan of the Cleveland Browns. I have not spoke with him in over 15 years.
6. I have never been to Cleveland.
7. Like BuckeyeMike80, I get violently ill from motion sickness. I'm fine when I drive, but all other times it's pretty bad. Planes, cars, cruise ships - doesn't matter.
8. In college, I was fired from my job for performance (supposedly). I was Employee of the Month at the time.
9. I am right-handed for everything except eating, shooting pool and throwing a frisbee.
10. I have cooked Thanksgiving dinner for my family every year since I was twelve years old.

1. I'm petrified of snakes. When I was 7, I was walking through the woods with some friends and a snake jumped at me and bit the bottom part of my jacket zipper off. I've since fainted 3 times after seeing them in person.
2. I have 3 tattoos. I don't remember getting any of them. I've never even seen a tattoo parlor here.
3. I finished 8th grade with F's in math, science, English, and French. I missed a total of 7 questions on the final exams for those classes and passed the grade anyway.
4. I've been kicked off of 4 sports teams and fired from 3 jobs for drug or alcohol related incidents. None of which were violent, unless you count dropkicking a cardboard cut-out of Miley Cyrus.
5. Two summers ago I shaved everything below my neck for $28 and a box of cookie dough bites. In case you were wondering, 3-day crotch stubble + mid-July Alabama heat = epic fail.
6. I've never seen a blonde in person that I was attracted to. I will, however, obsessively hit on any average(at least)-looking brunette in the room.
7. I was kicked out of the DARE program on the 2nd day after asking our officer where his swastika tattoo was. I was 10, and spent the rest of the time in the library reading Judy Blume books.

If you wake up with a fourth tattoo of a jumping snake, I had nothing to do with it.

 

[OCBuckWife]

Maybe you, or someone else, can explain this one to me. Once when I quit a job, I went out drinking with the ex-colleagues. One of the hotter chicks in the office decided to grab my crotch, whisper suggestive things to me at the bar, and stick her tongue deep into my ear.

I was told the next day she was a lesbian. I've never been able to figure that one out. :atom:

If you were told she was a lesbian, that person was either wrong, or perhaps has been rebuffed by that same hot chick one time and was jealous. Could be she was an bi-curious lesbian too. Too many ways to explain it without knowing the person. But my best guess would be you were leaving, she had a thing for you and was taking one last chance, and the other person was wrong.
