Post a true but little known fact about yourself.
I was an amateur boxer with a 15 and 2 record. I had to quit when my league found out I needed eye glasses. At that time an amateur boxer needed 20/20 vision.

... because he had the 2nd highest SAT score (IIRC -- might have been something else, back then) in the entire state of KS that year. But to qualify for the scholarship, he also had to be in the top 10% of his high school graduating class. He wasn't. There were 10 people in his class, and his best friend got the highest score in the state. So he didn't get the scholarship. 
Nothing since then...
I think I heard the rumor about them putting peanut butter on his gums from an episode of "Married With Children"
When Mister Ed talked, he sounded like Nixon.
"Wilbur, I want you to know that I am not a crook!"
you shot the deputy?
because I'm so ugly that I make people run for the border.
It's not a professional thing. But I have been paid - meal and 2 drinks
ok, not really.
they skipped me from 1st to 3rd grade. but they had never done that at that school before (not sure why) so toward the end of 1st grade i sat in 2nd grade as a sort of trial run. it worked well i guess so they skipped me but i nevertheless had attended 2nd grade for a month.
couple years later, when i would have been in 4th grade, our family spent the year in france. my parents put us in the french school system. we started out in 1st grade and moved up as we learned the language. so during that year, i was in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade for a while. never made it to 4th grade. just as well because 3rd grade in france is way more difficult than 3rd grade in america! i learned things there they don't teach here until 8th grade!
so anyway, that means i never attended 4th grade, even though i never skipped it -- i was in france that year.
but i skipped 2nd even though i attended it twice -- once as a trial run at the end of 1st grade, then again for a while in france.
But don't worry...
Ah'm ree-bill-tated
the card wasn't accepted and you wound up showing him to his room!
similar to the type of girls he liked to kill. When he did his rampage there, one of the girls was attacked in her small house about half a mile from my small house.
Would I have helped Bundy put his canoe on top of his car when he had a fake cast on his arm? Sure. I was a helpful person.
You are part of an exclusive club.
waist away!
then I met a GIRL. Barely graduated! Would not trade a minute of it for anything!
That sucked especially for me - a flatlander from Chicago
Spent a lot of the stint lost and winded
Lived in NJ near the bridge. This was like 1962-63 or so.
I remember, we used SENSATION MOWERS. (Of course I sometimes can not find my car keys now.) Great machines. Handle was mounted in the middle so when you reached the end of a 'row' you just flipped the handle around and went back the other way ! FAST and indestructible!!
THEN, 6 nights a week we drove to the SEAWAY IDLEWILD HOTEL near the then 'Idlewild Airport' and played a jazz gig 10-2. Got home by maybe 3:30. And up again at 6 am for the lawn mowing job. All summer. Or most of it.. I remember toward the end of the summer one day on the lawn job, I couldn't do any more. I just quit and went home.
But I made a mint that summer. !!
Oh, I also briefly dated Rachael Fast, daughter of the author, Howard Fast.
I'm just sumptin', ain't I??
you were better off keeping the check for his signature than cashing it. Do you still have that paperwork?
I also read a story about a woman who purchased a funky ceramic tea pot at a garage sale for $10. Later she discovered it was an early work of Picasso's & was worth about $40k.
and my Mother won a buckle in the same event.
Here is my start.
sure what a stringer was, so Google confirmed it. You freelanced!

About breastfeeding.
is that your underwear is full of this stuff:
That can't be comfortable!
Except for your bridal party abandoning you, LOL.
You made it 
even if you can't skip
Nothing happened. At least not that night or in the dorm...
But it's a fun story to tell.
And I totally deserved it.
My buddy and I had just graduated from San Diego State University. We decided to embark on a 2-week backpacking trip through several national parks. One of the highlights was our trip to Yosemite. We got a permit to spend the night on top of Half Dome. It was a heck of a hike, especially with a 50-lb backpack strapped on my back. But it was absolutely worth it!!
To add to the experience, June 1991 also had an astrological event nicknamed "the massing of the planets." Not long after sunset, we saw Venus, Mars and Jupiter in a very tight circle. Those planets are all easily visible to the naked eye. We also had a crescent moon to add a little bit of ambient light.
There was also an amazing couple that reached the top of Half Dome just after we did. I still remember all the commotion when the pair made the final few feet to the top. First the wife stepped away from the cables, and then her husband followed right behind her. She was 77 and he was 79. They were celebrating their 50th anniversary that day!!
A full 27 years has passed, but I remember virtually every detail of that trip.
And damn, that sounds like a very close call!

Like a stud field mouse!
I won third place trophy in an all state JUDO contest.. beating only one opponent who was taller than I and beat her with a sweeping leg throw, in about 10 seconds. I even amazed myself that day!
but he did send me a post card from the road! He signed it with his first name followed by (3Dog) like I’d forget!!! 
I lived in Hollywood in the sixties. Perhaps one day I’ll share some experiences! 
wasn't really just a quarter that deflected off your hand?
P.S. I caught 4 quarters off my elbow once!
And still am. 😝
