Jeff, the cute God of Biscuits has a fear of Roman numerals on clocks and fresh and minty Doug was sleeping on the edge of his bed 'n fell on the corner of the board game of Chutes 'n Ladders, cutting deeply into the flesh of his left bottom cheek.
Or so I've learned by their meme lists of 8 things nobody knows about them. Even Derrick doesn't know these things about me, I think.
1) My sister Bonnie and I regularly attempted to kill each other as children. She pushed me out of a diesel truck. I partially knocked out her eye with a broom. She'd convince me to jump off the roof after convincing me I had super powers. We really hated each other until we came to an understanding in high school. Love her to death now. Love, not death.
2) I unknowingly cut in a line at Disneyworld for sodas, and was screamed at by a mother. I've always double-checked where the end of the line was ever since.
3) In my dreams, I'm often rebuilding VW air cooled engines. In one recurring dream, I'm underneath my old 66 Beetle, and I'm reliving the time I forgot to torque down the throwout bearing in my transmission. It later came loose and polished the bell housing to a mirrored sheen. Most of the other dreams just have me marveling over the simple beauty of the flat 4, which is still my favorite engine design. Then I have dreams about sex. Or flying. Or flying sex.
4) When I was a kid, I watched some TV show that had a Bigfoot that crashed through a glass window while a woman was watching TV. Ever since, I can't watch TV at night with a glass window behind me, unless the outside is brightly lit. It doesn't help that my dad used to drop out of trees onto me in the dark, or grab my leg as I was running up the basement stairs. No, dad, you didn't make me gay; just paranoid.
5) I was the DAMNED CUTEST baby.
Right up until my sister pushed me out of the diesel truck, then I looked like a toothless vampire for some time.
6) If I had to be a dinosaur, I would totally be an ankylosaurus. They were like tanks! I wouldn't be just a herbivore, though. That would just be silly, what with me eating all the other dinosaurs.
7) When I was a senior in high school, I won the Rotary Scholarship, and was supposed to spend a year in Japan as an exchange student. I chickened out. I should write more about that.
8) I can't blow bubbles with bubble gum, or with any other product, for that matter.
I'm supposed to tag some people. Hmmm.
I'm going to add those tomorrow. I'm sleepy.
*Update* I'm awake! Tag! If you don't, I'll summon the floating head of death and kill your puppies.

Oh god! The nightmare sibling. My older brother and I regularly attempted fratricide. We didn't start getting along until we became adults. I can forgive him just about anything now because his oldest daughter is my favorite niece. Plus I get to tell her about all the shit her dad got up to when he was young!

My mother refused to let me go to Brazil after I was chosen for the Rotarian scholarship.

Great boots. Someone sure made you gay. :-)
Oh, and thanks for the tag. I'll get right on that, Mr. Alicious.

My responses will be up tomorrow...
You should have gone to Japan! (But you know that.) It changed my life.

Number 3 is a copout most of us know about your fetish with VW Bugs.

What year would you have gone to Japan? (Sorry, I normally just lurk here but the Rotary exchange thing was too much.)
