2. I have an incredibly morbid sense of humor. I consider the unsub in the show Criminal Minds to be the comic relief.

We're starting out in LA for almost a week and after that we head out on a road trip. Actually we're doing Grand Canyon and then your home town as well so it's not just California. After that we're off to SF for a couple of days before going back to LA.

Haha I love the last one Ern! I have avoided this subject because I don't think I am very interesting, but here goes I also love that LN used to play poker! I never really got into it much but I love all the theory behind it and want to get back I to it.

[TeammateAssist 50]

Aight, me too I guess.

1. I jailbreak apple devices- and I don't even use any. Well, I used to. I like theming my phone.

3. After being scared shitless several times in the dark as a kid, I am always scared of the dark.

4. When I was a kid I used to do Mensa puzzles. Initially I thought it was a funky company name, you know. I didn't know they're a bunch of high-Q dudes. Course I solved them. Blame lack of Internet.

5. I play Uncharted 3, and my other PSN name is practically inline with the Raffica pistol. As well as Hardcore mode. Freaking UC2 oldies, can't just leave me the hell alone in my game mode.

[no_snacks 3,345]

So many cool stories & interesting little quirks that we all have. 

 

1.  As an apprentice carpenter, I once nailed my own foot to the floor while using a nail-gun.

2.  Came close to playing professional AFL (Australian Rules Football) as a teenager.  Would've needed to leave home & move closer to the city, so chose not to.  Don't regret it either.

3.  After sculling nearly an entire bottle of Jim Beam at a friends 21st party, I woke up the next morning in a jail cell in some random country town.  To this day, none of my friends or I have any idea what happened to me that night. 

5.  While on a trip to Sydney in my younger days, I once stayed awake for approx 80 straight hours.

5.  Have always been fairly slim my entire life, but at 44 years of age, I currently weigh 7kg (15lb) less than I have at any other time in my adult life.

 

5b.  Have never broken a bone either, but have been west of the Mississippi.

[ronin 596]

1. Used to do quite some sports in the past: long distance running, ice skating, skiing, karate (brown belt). Nowadays, it's the absolute opposite apart from the occasional walk.

 

2. I'm afraid of heights. Anything higher then 2 meters above ground level and I'm in trouble.

 

3. I hate swimming. Probably cause i drowned nearly twice: once during birth (started breathing before I got out --> 3 wks in intensive care -.- ) and once nearly drowned at the age of 4-5. Add to that a nasty experience with a shark when scuba diving in Australia. I'll stick to my bath tub, thank you very much.

 

4. Never broke a single bone in my body. Plenty of cuts and bruises, but weirdly enough no stitches.

 

5. I used to play electric guitar. Atm my poor Gibson is nothing more then a cool ornament in my study upstairs.

Not a nautical person so had to google it, but what a cool achievement! The idea of sailing in the middle of no where is pretty cool but also quiet scary, depending on the size of your boat. I don't think I could handle the waves out there. I have a 14ft Haines hunter with a 90hp motor and never really taken it out past the heads but when your close with big waves/tide you tend to get sick easily, especially trying to rig your fishing lines haha.

1.  As an apprentice carpenter, I once nailed my own foot to the floor while using a nail-gun.

I was a carpenter for 20 years, once when nailing the sub floor for a new house a guy I was working with shot a 16 penny nail thru his foot into the floor. We had to cut the head off the nail so he could pull his foot off it.

[Dr_PizzaMan14 9]

1: I'm allergic to chicken feathers and cockroaches. Why? I couldn't tell you

 

2: I love performing card tricks. I got bored this one time, so I decided to look up card tricks.

 

3: When I was younger, if you heard my voice and didn't see me, you'd think I was 30-40. Gosh, I miss my deep voice.

 

4: By just looking at me, you'd think I play basketball. Nope, I'm a 6'7" bowler.

 

5: I've gone through three brand new phones in less than 6 months. Why? I upgraded from a small screened phone to a Droid. Then I upgraded to an even bigger screened phone.
