Not that interesting: I'm a huge math nerd loved numbers from the time I could walk. My mom says I used to ask my dad to write me out math problems before I was in school.

I used to play the game dots like grandmasters play chess, I haven't lost a game in YEARS. Of course I also haven't played one in years but at the time, I was a BEAST!!!

If you like Pittsburgh: I'm related to Kevin Colbert, the Steeler's General Manager (lol "G" "M" gets autocorrected to 'grand mal'), (thru marriage) on my Dad's side of the family. Only see him at funerals and weddings.

Was hit in the face with a baseball when I was 11 years old, broke my nose and cheek bone. My doctor cut a coffee can lid in half and molded the 2 pieces into splints that were inserted up my nostrils to make sure the bones set correctly. Worst summer ever, I wasn't allowed to swim while they were in place.

I don't have a single allergy and before E, I NEVER took medication. Not NyQuil, not Ibuprofen, nothing always rode everything out. I say I got an immune system that would give AIDS a run for its money.

The last time I got into a heated argument with someone fists were about the be thrown... instead of hitting him, I put my hand thru a window damaging some tendons and cartilage in my right pinky. Lesson learned, next time punch them, not a window.

Are these real or are you just in a goofy mood? Your face caught on fire once? The top of hasselhoffs head?!?! Someone hit you because they thought you were someone else?!

It’s all true Q. The Hoff was at the other end of an airport terminal. There were swarms of people around him, hence only seeing the top of his killer head of hair

The face fire was thanks to a flaming shot my friend didn’t want to take. He gave it to me and it was rip roaring at that point. As it went down the hatch I pictured my insides on fire. So I spit it out (poor decision). Face went up in flames. My friend shook his beer and went to spray my face, missed and soaked my shirt. I thought of "stop, drop and roll' (thank you childhood public service announcement) and shoved my face between my legs. Then all was well. I had a little burn up the side of my chin, but it went away after a few weeks. Good times

Getting hit by a car happened in high school, right in front of it actually. Long story short, some kid from another town had a problem with one of my friends. He apparently thought I was someone else and hit me as I was getting out of my car. It wasn’t too bad. I got briefly dragged between the two cars until I took the side view mirror in the old coin purse (which sucked). I didn’t have to go to the hospital or anything.

when Hurricane Katrina hit the states in 2005, I was in between jobs at the time, so I worked the phones for a company that re-united families. I hunted down this lost man that had been in a nursing home at the time it hit, and re-united him with his family.

OMG man that is so funny (sorry but it is I can't stop laughing), only b/c 'those times' were a real blast weren't they. Did a flaming shot once and made 'er down without all the drama you went thru. He missed and hit your shirt? Oh man dontcha miss it sometimes :roflmao:

Let me guess from a prior post... this all took place in the great country of CANADA?!?!?!
 
You all have some pretty awesome ones! Well here it goes.

I can hold my breath for a freakishly long time. (I scared life guards with that trick, yeah I know shame on me!)

For some reason im very good at badmitten and volley ball, even though I never really play them.

I used to be able to do the splits. (because of Taekwondo)

I can mimic voices if I hear them enough, Chrisopher Walken is everyone's favorite!
 
These are awesome, I'm especially proud of that big weight loss and locating the man during that awful hurricane.

You guys have some pretty cool stories. And what is it about Donahue? Ha ha.

I can write upside down and backwards. Wish I could make money with that talent. :p
 
Yeah I'm with ya there Cath I was thinking before we should change the name to the Phil Donahue thread.
 
My 2nd toe is longer then the big toe on both feet. Also, my left foot is nearly a full size larger. I think each toe has an extra bone in it or something. I should be in the Guiness Book Of World Records for having the ugliest feet. :paperbag:
 
Oh Cath haha don't say that about yourself :(

Maybe I could get in there for longest hair sometime soon; it's just now down past my bum :)
 
Wow!! Everyone is so interesting and have great stories to tell. What a good idea Cathy.

1. I have had 4 concussions.. one at 4 when I was standing on back of trike and fell backwards... next slipped in the laundry room and slammed backwards onto the cement.
next ran through screen on a slider and hit the wall and down I went.. the worst was in HS when I got hit in the eye with wooden field hockey puck and dropped. You know, I actually think there is another one.. but I cannot remember. LOL

2. I did a bit of TV when I worked for a greenhouse and was often a guest talking about different plants, etc.

3. Unfortunately, I have broken a bone.. my right radial head. Note to all of you.. never fracture your elbow.. a real pain to heal.

Qtown.. my guess is you will have the longest hair. How long did it take to grow that long?

Cathy.. my oldest son has the same toe thing as you.

Need to catch up with the other posts.
 
Glad my feet may not be the ugliest, ha ha.

I've never had to color my hair. I'm 43 and my friends are wayy jealous. :D

I can cross one eye while the other looks straight. Luckily they've never gotten stuck. :roflmao:

For the record I had done two flaming shots moments before. The third had grew a 6 inch flame while my friend waffled on whether to take it or not. Thats what made me want to spit it out. :) Good times.

Cathy, if you're feet are two different sizes, how do you buy shoes? Two of my toes are webbed. I also have short fat toes. I say they are lawnmower safe.
 
Nah, I just buy the bigger size. If it's an athletic shoe, boot or loafer, I wear a thicker sock on the smaller foot. I buy those non slip thingies for the dress shoes, which I seldom wear. It's all good.

I failed a grade in school not for bad grades, but for too many excused absences. I skipped a lot of school but my dad would always write me a note. He would say, "One day you'll regret it." I was kinda wild back in the day. :paperbag:
 
I was having lunch, and I meet the cast of Dukes of Hardous (spelling)

That was back in the 1980s....You see how old I am.

Lol do you regret it? I had my crazy days too and don't regret it a bit.
Still graduated on time (early actually) and did something with my life and have all the great memories to go with it.

-I used to be a daily pot smoker, and I grew it a couple times as well :)
 
We would have gotten along great qt, even down to our gardens, ha ha.

Another thing about me- I don't like stand up comedy or cartoons, except for King Of The Hill. :p
