YAY!!! I knit too, I also crochet. I learned to crochet first, when I was about 7.

in Jan of 2007 I was at my high school, for a set building weekend. We were moving large sheets of particle board, and there was a long piece of 2X4 resting against the particle board, which we didn't realize. The 2X4 was knocked loose, and came crashing down on my left pinky finger, smashing it between the 2X4 and the particle board. It cut my pinky 3/4 of the way around, right at the 2nd knuckle, and I'm pretty sure the bone broke too. (I never went to the doctor about it...)

A couple years earlier, we were building a different set, they were clamping 12 ft tall flats to the legs of the stage with a piece of 2x4 and a metal C clamp. They lost their hold on one of these contraptions, and it fell out of the air and landed right at my feet.

Mutiple possible explanations:
1) Incense robbed my young body of incrementally precious oxygen
2) The combo of kneeling and incense caused me to hyperventilate
3) Religion causes my brain to randomly require a soft reboot.

lord.trax - which 10 movies?

I make quilts and currently own 6 snakes and a lizard. I donated 36" of hair in one snip, to Locks of Love, and I've nearly died twice.

I have met Steven Spielberg, John Lee Hooker, and Gregg Allman.

My favorite t.v. shows as a child were The Dukes of Hazzard and reruns of Star Trek.

My favorite shows now are Dr. Who and No Reservations with Anthony Bordain.

Hasn't John Lee Hooker been dead for like 20years?

John Lee Hooker (August 22, 1917 – June 21, 2001)

I met him in the mid-late 90's when he headlined a music festival in Birmingham. He was sitting in a trailer eating a banana, one of his guys said to me "if he shakes your hand, don't squeeze it". I didn't squeeze it, as a blues fan I was somewhat awestruck.

I would be too, I've always liked his stuff, though, BBKing is my personal favorite.

What a cool thread!

I made it to the summit of the second highest peak in the Adirondacks, Algonquin Peak.

When I was in my mid teens I had my wisdom teeth taken out. I was given some sort of "laughing gas" for the proceedure. Under the effect of this truly remarkable gas I was able to suddenly comprehend all of the worlds woes and found unique solutions to all of them! Every single one of the worlds problems were laid bare to my soul and yet I was masterful in my ability to fix to them all! It was so easy!

Sadly, with the dissolution of the gas towards the end of the teeth removal proceedure, all of my solutions were cast away as if dissolved into the ether, never to be written down in time nor recalled by me ever again.

For that I am truly sorry.

I used to go to Star Trek conventions in costume.

As a specific character or just someone from a various alien race?

Post by **Sorus** » Sat Mar 01, 2008 5:06 am

As a Starfleet character from a roleplaying group I used to belong to. I had what was usually mistaken for a movie-era costume, but was actually modeled on the uniforms from Enterprise-C. Which were movie-era uniforms minus the undershirt if you want to get technical about it.

I would say that I am a complete geek, but I hope that isn't a little known fact by this point.

As a kid I had Kirk, Spock and Scotty guys. They had real clothes, the gun looking phasers....I had some lizard guy that looked nothing like a Gorn but I pretended it was.
I made rocks out of aluminum foil and some sort of catapult thingy that Kirk would throw at him........
I don't remember what happened to those toys.
I probably lit them all on fire eventually like most of my stuff but I do remember having Spocks plastic head in my toy box for a long time.

(And no......this didn't all take place last week, you bastards!)

Since this pic was taken I have grown a beard and I could pass for Balon's brother (I don't have a beard pic yet). And I make pretty babies.

Note hairy arms as described in a previous post.
