Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler The "Everybody's Weird" thread

When I was in high school, there was a short-term underground 'trend' that involved transformers, batteries, and wires. Someone would connect a battery to a transformer and then hold one of the wire leads. He'd then recruit as many people as possible to form a human chain, hand to hand. The last person would grab the other lead and the entire group of people held on as long as they could take it. Occasionally, the group was too big or the battery too weak to feel much, but other times the group size, and/or the battery/transformer combination was just right to cause quite a jolt.

I think the administration put a stop to that one.

When I was about 8yrs old, I went into my mom's top dressing drawer while she was at work and found all her silver coins...

An hour later I was at the corner convenience store on my street with my friends buying everyone loads of candies, ice cream and chips...using my mom's silver coins...

Skip ahead to about 5pm when my mom came home from work and decided to stop by the same corner store to buy some bread...conversation with store owner ensues...

Mom comes home and asks me if I was at the corner store that day. I promptly lied and said no...well needless to say I couldn't sit down for about a week. On a scale of 1 to 10, that candy rates a 10 as the best I ever tasted!

Needless to say, some of you guys are really freakin' weird!

I broke my femur snowboarding and hit a tree in the Canadian Rockies...Not really weird, just sucky.

- I am always doing impressions and vairous Bobby Mcferrin type noises. As I was doing a diaper change last night, I kept my son distracted with a trumpet sound.
- I can do a spot-on Ernie and Kermit the Frog (understandable since both were voiced by the late, great Jim Henson).
- Whenever I want to screw with the mind of a coworker, I sing "The Rainbow Connection", because she is conditioned to cry whenever she hears it (Goes back to some childhood thing).
- When I was in college, I was a regular on a radio show as Lt. Worf from STtNG.
- I have a room in my basement dominated by Simpsons memorabilia. It's the one room in the basement without Axioms (it has Klipsch in the ceiling thanks to DavidSch)

Oh my gosh! There are waaay too many weird things about me that I just can't bring myself to disclose here. You would all get a total different opinion about me, for sure! One of them is obviously being an active member on a speaker forum...not very girly, is it? All my friends think I'm a nerd and a geek...which is all so true!

Amazon thinks the books I'm most interested in buying next is (and I'm not kidding):

"Hacking Exposed, Hacking Exposed, Goodnight Moon"



I wonder if it's any coincidence that I was into computers ever since a little kid...

this is obviously b4 the big ol' butt ballooned lol
