share one little known fact about yourself

[jazzbluescat]

I'm a hardcore metrosexual.

I think...

Doesn't that depend on your location? If you were located in, e.g., Spring Lake, NC, what would you be?

[I know I know, I've heard the term metrosexual before. It's a de juour(sp) term, isn't it?]

[Valerie]

i introduced Tina Turner to Buddhism and was also written about in her autobiography, "I, Tina".

[jazzbluescat]

Now I've got a huge corn on the outside of my right foot's big toe.

No kidding.

[clinthopson]

I played the sousaphone in the Compton pep band.

[Blue Train]

Was that before or after William Hanna went there? As in, did you know him?

Spring Lake, North Carolina brings back memories for me since I spent a couple of years "doing time" at Fort Bragg. Good times.

I don't think so. That was 1947-51.

I knew James Coburn.

[Blue Train]

I knew James Coburn.

That's just as cool in my book.

[Blue Train]

I am related to someone who actually knows what that Pynchon guy looks like. He even communicates with him.

It's OLD SCHOOL style communication. Snail mail and ink are involved.

[tippy]

Lots of cool things, but I gotta say - gasp! Valerie, for the win!

Bourne, I am curious about why you think you might be metrosexual. hee hee

And, Steve, to answer your question. No, I really, really don't, except in the car. A couple years ago I was trying to plunk out Marley tunes - his earliest - on guitar though. I have love those songs for about 20 years now I think. What a songwriter! But a lot of drama being imposed by mentally ill alcohol abuser with a very bad heart for last couple years took all the wind out of my sails and I haven't felt like going back. Maybe one day when I feel better I will go back again. Don't know. I think that's way cool what you are doing with music though.

Got an 800 on the mathematics section of the SATs. Figured out the (easy) algorithm for determining the "sale of the century" price for items on the old "Sale of the Century" tv show hosted by Joe Garagiola, who was born on the same date ,February 12, 1926, as my father.

Lucky you....tsk. [Don't get me wrong what contact I've had with soldiers has always been positive, they're very respectful and polite, but this area is affectionately referred to as the "armpit of NC." I think mainly because of the fast food, fast money, etc., that always pops up around military installations.]

And of course I spent a lot of time in Fayetteville as well, mostly at Haymarket Square Coffeehouse. That was1970-1972.

That was in the "Fayettenam" era, if I remember correctly. I played "upstairs" at the Playboy Club one time; thrilling for about five minutes.

[patricia]

I am exactly one inch shorter than I always thought I was. Drat!!

[jazzbluescat]

Oh gosh. I'm getting shorter with age, am about 2 1/2 inches shorter than a few years back.

[tippy]

I'm certain, Patricia, that like jazzbluescat says, you weren't mistaken all these years. Just that you have downsized a little bit. An inch isn't so bad. So far, I think the thing I hate most about aging is the greatly decreased calorie requirements. Apparently I am supposed to eat like a bird, a mere 1,000 calories, just to maintain. I have never been able to train myself to be a nibbler. Drat!

I realized recently that once I retire in a few years and am around a refrigerator all day, I have just what it takes to get really really fat.

1. I'm almost always hungry.
2. I'm almost always tired.

Those seem like key ingredients. I told my wife there's a chance she might not recognize me after a couple of years. She thinks she could just leave me if I gained, say, 600 pounds. But I'm thinking I might be so big she couldn't get near a door.

[steve(thelil)]

I wake up very close to 6:00AM on the dot every day with upper arm pain from a neck issue.

Are you sure you're not having a daily heart attack? Just sayin'.

[jazzbluescat]

I go to sleep at 1 AM and am up promptly at 6 AM. Seems five hours sleep is all I need, unless I do something strenuous during the day like mow the lawn or have a date.

I've been retired about six or senen years and have lost 60 lbs. Let me be your role model.

[Dr Dave]

I don't do facts. I did do this, though.

[walto]

Nice, Dave.

[Jason Bivins]

I once slept on Walto's couch, and I pretended to like Vermeulen.

[steve(thelil)]

Very cool. Nicely done, Doc.

We've got a winner!

[JPF]

I once rode up the highway to the legendary club, Lennie's On The Turnpike, with my friend Jim, the driver, on my left and on my right.....Charles Mingus. We had picked him up on the highway as he was walking to the gig (he still had a couple of miles to go and it was a cold November day!).

I once told J-Biv "here's a clean pillowcase."
