I have hitch hikers thumb, I can bend my thumb backwards to a 90 degree angle.

I can do this, but with my pinky.

I am very close to seeing all of AFI's top 100 movies of all time.

I grew 3' inches in college. I feel like that's rare for a human. I also like popcorn kernels. I'll only pop a bag of popcorn for half the time, drain the popcorn with hot sauce, eat the popcorn and chew on the kernels.

Tonight I'm grilling for myself for the first time. Just bought a meat thermometer and everything.

I grill for myself all the time. Thermometer though? Who the hell are you? If you need a thermometer, you don't need to be grilling....

don't need to be grilling

Don't listen to this garbage. I don't use a meat thermometer as often as I should, but food-borne illness is nothing to mess with. Better safe than sorry.

I have OCD when it comes to locking doors. No joke, I check that it is locked like 38 times.

I was a second team all-kc metro bowler my sophomore year of high school.

I had high average in the KSU frat bowling league one year.
What was it?

don't remember. somewhere around 175.

hemmy · « **Reply #36 on:** May 21, 2012, 10:27:19 AM »

I am a "book it" 150 bowler. I can't do better than that, and I also can't do worse. Every game I have played in the last 4 years has been ~ 150

Bloodfart · « **Reply #37 on:** May 21, 2012, 11:49:45 AM »

I bowled a 275 in 8th grade.

Still have the patch the league gave me somewhere. I also have my own ball. Purple marble of course.

I illegally operated a forklift for a couple months during the summer after my senior year of high school.

I have done this as well. I bet OSHA would have been pissed if they found out about it.

It was so much fun. The things handle like shopping carts.

Yeah, they are very nice in tight spaces. You have to watch the back end, though, as it has a tendency to swing around awfully fast.

The other forklift operators and I would run forklift races around the warehouse grounds when the boss wasn't around. It was a lot of fun, but not really fair because one of the forklifts was just faster than the others.

I worked at two warehouses that summer. I got the job through what was basically a warehouse/factory temp agency. The first warehouse only had two forklifts (both sit down). The second one had a ton of them. Ingersol Rand...doorknobs, locks, tons of stuff. Anyways, huge warehouse. Probably 70 employees on the warehouse floor.

My first day when they were deciding what to do with me, I was like "yeah I can drive fork-lifts..." and they were like "but you're not certified." Didn't even know I needed to be certified.

Doorknob warehouse. Lot of great stories from that place. I love telling them.

I can't take naps because it's hard to fall asleep at night if I do.
