Surprise Us

Post by HailStorm »

Are you a polo player? Do you play the nose flute? Do you like the taste for dirt?

These can all be surprising facts I know about others, but what about yourself? Tell us a little something or two about yourself that most people don't know.

There's a "Got A Story" thread right in here and those are two stories that would be interesting to hear. Especially about a missed catfight with a diva in her head.

Please? :D

As far as talent if you can call it that........

I'm good at doing voices- a handful of cartoon characters. I do a spot on impersonation of Seaspray. I sound just like him and I say horribly filthy things to my husband all the time like Seaspray. I can also do a really good impersonation of Stitch from Disney's Lilo and Stitch and Glomer from the 80's Punky Brewster cartoon.

I taught myself how to make arrowheads (including folsom points) and other stone implements with flint and obsidian.

I can sing pretty good I've been told.

I got a chance to sing back up at a small concert with "The Squirrel Nut Zippers" before they became famous at a bar when the lead singer heard me singing in the barthroom but I chickened out. :oops: I'll always regret that! :(

HAHAHAHAHAHAA I LOL'd at the Seaspray thing. And I love the Squirrel Nut Zippers!

And I am also good with voices. I can do a perfect impression of Herbert from Family Guy (the old pedophile with the whistle,) but I can also do Chris and Quagmire.
I can talk EXACTLY like Donald Duck, and I also say horribly filthy things to my friends as him. It's really fun to curse people out in that voice! :lol:

I collect insects. Real insects. My favorites are cicadas and scarabs. I have a very large collection, as I've gone on road trips searching for particular species. (NERD!) I can post pics if it would please the court. :D

Both were at the same event.

I was a green room escort for the 2002 Winter Olympics, so I had to deal with a lot of celebrities. Christina was one of the acts and I had the "privilege" of taking care. Needless to say after 3 days of her mouth and bad attitude I snapped. Many unpleasant words were exchanged and soon her bodyguard had to step in. I then was assigned to other celebrities and I was very happy to oblige.

As for President Bush, I was driving Yo Yo Ma to the green room, but it was at the same time as the march of the athletes so it was very crowded. Next thing I notice, secret service jumped out and onto the cart and right behind them was Bush. Thank goodness the President laughed. He was very nice to someone that just about hit him.

Myself and Rodimus Prime used to "backyard wrestle" with a load of my friends. I beat him in our first match. But he has the privilege of being the only person to beat me cleany and me to know that I was going to lose and not being able to kick out. That is definitely one for the got a story to tell thread... :lol:
