Guilty. Back in 1984, my dad bought a home for about $40,000 on the condition he fix it up for the family. I was living with him at the time, and I had to help him fix up this rat trap. There was no insulation in the place at all. That was one of the better features. He still lives in the home, btw, and only recently completed fixing the thing up. The family who sold it to him doesn't want it anymore because the neighborhood is now crime-infested. The home has a book value of $134,000 now too. G/NG: Is of the Red Green school of handymanship.

^ Don't they all? < <'s DL pic makes me look like I've been on a cocaine holiday. < Doesn't use drugs, BTW. < Knows the passport requirements went into effect January 1, and were moved to Jan. 1, 2008 on January 5th. < Hopes ^ sent in a long form birth certificate (available only from Austin and the city/county where one was born) as there's a 75% chance that the passport office will reject a short form. < Gets at least 15 angry customers a day over this. < Not permitted to tell customers this before they buy. V Thinks that the city is being money-grubbing for not telling everyone about this.

I'm the redhead lover, not the redhead. Leon?

Not if you remove their brain. Who would be dumb enough to donate their young, virile body for this?

... person who writes, extending a fandom. The politically correct term for an obvious Mary Sue is...

^ Nearest border to < is about 557 miles (896 km) away, I can't say that I have. < Understands that 75% of Canadians (maybe more) live within 20 km of the US border. < Has heard wonderful stories about the border guards though. <'s office gets at least 5 requests every day for a birth certificate to be shipped "immediately" to the border. Most of them want it faxed (have you ever tried sending a raised seal via fax? It can't be done.) Naturally, they get angry when we tell them we don't ship via fax or internet. V Knows now to have a certified copy of V's birth certificate when crossing the border.

Guilty since I have to deal with mothers and their little kids every day. If I had a nickel for every time I've had to say "Your kid is the cutest in the world!" I'd be rich beyond the dreams of averice. G/NG: Can stomach only so much of being cute around little kids before becoming nauseated.

Definitely not. Leon?

I haven't either, but I worked door at a concert for a local band once. Their guy called in sick and asked me to pitch in... it wasn't fun. I had a guy who was stinking drink and saying he was the band's manager (which he wasn't) get into my face and wouldn't get out of my face until I let him in... I called security on him. They couldn't get him to leave either. The resulting fight was nasty. I got 10 bruises from it. I have never... tried to use my sexual prowess to get into a concert.

Drunken stories aren't that much fun unless you're shitfaced drunk. So should we wait until they're 21 or so?

Guiltish. If there's a choice, I really go with what's more healthy and tastes better. G/NG: Would choose a broccoli salad over a double patty melt.

Sumimasen. Leon?

I haven't either. As someone much wiser than I put it: When I worked for a transit agency, I saw drivers spend around $400 per lottery time (at the time, it was twice a week) and win nothing. I have never... understood why people would gamble.

Sure, but make sure she has enough money to get it. Do you think we Texans are missing out on something great here?

^ Well... no... < Hasn't done a redhead, but wants to. V Thinks <'s fixation with redheads is very unhealthy.

... a 'delicious' protein substitute for soup kitchens. Of course, it's not going to be called leeches. It will be called...

Thanks everyone. I thought I might get flamed for this one... It was a difficult thing. However, I am trying to get a series published. I have an ashcan (demo story) done, and we'll see if anyone will publish it. Will I continue to do fanfic? Depends. If I have the time and inclination, I will.

"Experimental Film" - They Might Be Giants. (I can't wait for their new CD!)

Myra Breckenridge ( I don't think Elmo has a last name...)

I did once. I ended up washing out (15 over par! I lost 4 golf balls to one water hazard.) I have never... been good at golf (obviously.)

^ Well, since everything that is edible has to die before one eats it, I'd have to "respectfully disagree" with that. < Wouldn't mind sampling Leon's rattlesnake chili. < Had rattlensnake before at a camp. V Thinks < is weird for wanting to sample Leon's chili.
