Amuse me!

Should you feel so inclined either tell me something about you that I probably don't know and/or ask me a question.

I once hit Joe Lieberman, US Senator and former vice presidential candidate, in the head with a flagpole.

Only 99 to go.

[thidwick.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

I see he never quite recovered his wits.

I used to try to settle arguments with my parents by holding my breath until I passed out.

In my defence, I was 5 years old.

Not so much in my defence, I still sometimes think of this as a useful skill to have.

... I own a pair of pink, glow-in-the-dark Winnie the Pooh Pyjamas.

Do you own any particularly startling garments?

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

Nothing that glows in the dark!

Tailcoat and those feet I guess.

I've been hijacked, held hostage at machete-point, evacuated from 2 hurricaines and struck by lightning.

Tell me about your most shock-worthy experience.

I've been temporarily blinded twice in road accidents. One of those incidents also resulted in 24 stitches in my face.

I took Spanish dance lessons as a very young child and wanted to be a flamenco dancer till I was about 7.

Do you have any particular musical/artistic talents, or are you just an aficianado?

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

At school I was forced to learn a musical instrument. My clarinet teacher once said he would write my report card just as soon as he learned to spell "pathetic".

I can sing not too awfully.

I was once a karate instructor but I hurt myself badly and had to quit.

Here's a question that may be WAY too personal so feel free to delete this if it is:

I think you're the coolest guy to ever date my sister. Believe me, I know, I've met most of them. How did you know she was the girl for you?

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

I think you're the coolest guy to ever date my sister

I'm much flattered because you lot are way the coolest family I have ever dated a member of. Though wandra's family are pretty cool too.

How did you know she was the girl for you?

This will have to be a slightly oblique answer. Partly it was the context in which we discovered each other that made compatibilty likely, partly it was her way with words in the approximately zillion emails we exchanged before actually meeting, partly it was that she is so amazingly sexy and beautiful (see below) and when we finally did meet it was obvious within no time flat.



Call me shallow but what normal male wouldn't lust after her? I've seen colleagues reduced to incoherent grunts by that picture.

Have you ever tried to spell an incoherent grunt? Harumph.

I was conceived on The Isle of Man - what's your favourite island?

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

what's your favourite island?

Tough one. There are thousands of really nice tiny islands up on the Shield but most are too small to even have names. The San Juans are really beautiful.

I once told George Shultz to get out of his office and to get a move on!

[blonde222.livejournal.com]

Do you think that you are good looking?

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

Not really but I probably look less of a dork than I did 25 years ago.

Ok, CF'03, here's mine:

In my bonsai-esque family dynamic, I am the eldest child, the middle child, the youngest child, and an only child all at the same time.

The only two things I am not are anyone's brother or My Own GrandPa.

But I'm working on it.

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

No doubt about it, incest tends to run in families

[albionwood.livejournal.com]

I've had this beard since 1979.

Are you a demon?

[chickenfeet2003.livejournal.com]

Are you a demon?

I don't think so.

[albionwood.livejournal.com]

The feet give you away - you can no longer deny it.
