Little Known Facts

I have never seen the movie 'Gone With The Wind,' nor will I probably ever.

Because my real first name is Thomas, and it's pronounced with a hard t instead of a th sound, I had the sound of t and th mixed up until I was in 1st grade and went to speach therapy. So I'd say 'tuh' instead of 'the' and 'thay' instead of 'say.'

I too played the car laser/missle game as a kid.

I used to have these dreams as a kid of small random, yet distinct events and then actually have these event happen days/weeks or months later. Still get them occasionally but much less frequently.

Since about the age of 4 or so i think i've had at least one person per year who i've been at least moderately close to has died.

Wow that's interesting. For as long as I can remember, I've had the most uncanny and useless psychic ability--to fortell what specific episode of a TV show will be on later in the day. The premonition will come to me as a random thought while I'm reading, typing, shaving, whatever. I'll just have a flash of memory of a scene from a TV show I've seen--this "ability" seems to work best with reruns. I don't usually pay these quick memories any heed until later in the day, usually while channel surfing, I stumble across that exact scene/moment from my earlier premonition.

This has happened scores and scores of times over my life, yet I have found no way to control or parlay this "skill" into any sort of practical, money-earning scheme. For that reason my wife simply smiles politely at me whenever I leap up and yell "I KNEW THIS WOULD BE ON! I PREDICTED IT!"

When I was about 8 years old I would literally run home from school so I would not miss a minute of Dark Shadows. For those who have no clue, Dark Shadows was a sci-fi gothic soap opera in black and white that ran in afternoon prime time from 19966- 1971. After getting my Dark Shadows fix I would lay in bed for hours at night stiff with fear that Barnabas, Victoria, or Quentin Collins were standing in the dark shadows of my small bedroom watching me, holding an ax. But not just any old ax, it was a Medieval Double Headed War Ax. I would eventually fall off into an exhausted sleep and when I woke up the next day I glanced over into the corner I was so sure my 'soap opera- demons had been lurking eight hours before.

I have only done coke once in my life. In 1979 a friend of a friend who was a dealer... not a street dealer but the guy who brought it up from South America into the US. Dude holds up a gallon zip lock bag of coke filled to the rim with coke and everyone in the rooms falls out laughing. Me, being all dumber than a plate of grits just smiled. Here I am thinking that when people did coke that a gallon zip lock bag full was the usual dosage needed for a typical nightly buzz.

I never did really good drugs until I joined the US Navy.

I do not have a home phone. I do not have a cell phone. This is my choice. I love being unplugged from the ring ring buzz buzz bullmeep associated with a telephone.

I concur that similar things happen to me. More surprisngly the other week, where I dreamed first of a breakup the day before, then the next night I dreamt a coworker would be sick and they were.

More abstractly, I too have had these "memories" that are actually in the future, that I don't really think about again till they occur. I've never been able to control it or anything either, and personally I give it no credibility.

i might or might not of helped burglarize a gas station when i was a teenager

Haha, just your unconsciousnell calling. Good medics know when their patients are about to get ill, before they know.

Thats why you are telling all this on the net.

WOW - I meep you not the following event happened to me.

My sister and her boyfriend decided to impress me with this silly game of fake telepathy. She laid out 9 LPs in a square, her BF went out. She then told me to pick one - any one. Her BF came back in and she then pointed to each one in turn and he said no until it was the one I picked and then he said yes. I was shocked and amazed and they were amused that their little trick-pretend-telepathy game had tricked me the little eleven year old. So I said I wanted to play, I went outside and cleared my mind. Nothing but blackness for a while - then a distinct flash of some colours - then nothing again. Just for a laugh my sister actually had picked one thinking nothing would happen.

I came back in, said no to a bunch of them - and thought nothing was working, then her finger pointed to one that had in it the very same colours I had seen in the flash, I said yes. My sisters jaw meeping dropped man. It was the one she had picked just for the meep of it.

It only happened that once - now if only I could meeping fore-tell the stock market!

Dont worry - I dont go around thinking I'm all telepathic and meep!

when i was about 4 or 5 i bit open a penlight battery and i got a battery-acid facial. burnt like meep. i looked like the elephant man for a while and the doctors used to call me "the battery boy" (gaylords...) but it healed pretty quickly and there's no scarring. yay for me.

battery boy ...

you'll always be battery boy in mine heart

When I was something like 5years old, I'd down 10 chalky kids vitamins and then challenge Satan to a fist fight.

After I beat his stupid meep, God stopped talking meep to me, and Jesus started being real cool.

Coincidence? I don't think so.

My car riding game:

As a youth, I would watch the mile markers and COUNT the dashed white lines as we drove by to figure out how many white-dashed lines there were in a mile. I don't do that anymore, but on road trips I obsess over the mile markers and the clock. I am always micro adjusting the cruise control and calculating exactly when I will arrive at any given point.

Whenever I've said the words "I love you", what I really meant was, "I want you to love me".

My twin brother died in infancy. I don't miss him.

middle_age_man: My twin brother died in infancy. I don't miss him.

My Mother-in-Law had a twin she absorbed in the womb, and when she was in middle-age, they took out her utereus and found fingernails, teeth, and hair from it, still clinging to the side of her gut sack. I always knew she was too evil for just one meep.

BeachGoat: I always knew she was too evil for just one meep.

Funniest quote I've seen in days.

I once went without meep for a year, broke down in a game of Truth or Dare and ate out a really gross big fat chick. I regretted it immediately and went to brush my teeth.

Ever since I brush my teeth for like 15 minutes. That was 15 years ago.

Albuterol is actually a chubby chocolate-tasting man-meep with an Italian love slave easily confused for a meep.
