2. I have a hard time swimming in water when I can not see through it to the bottom.

Ditto!  Almost drowned when I was 4.  Hate not being able to see the bottom.  But love swimming, so I just suck it up and swim.

[Gwen aka Punstergal]

Wow.. there's a lot of folks in this forum with the freaky tongue-to-nose talent! Do I get bonus points for being one of the rare cases of an ADULT who is completely tongue-tied? Can't stick the darn thing out at all. Every dentist I've ever seen has offered to cut it for me, amazed that I don't show traces of a speech impediment (usually they cut it when you're a kiddo, because you can't speak correctly with it). I figure it's too late to fix it now, I've gotten used to the unique accent that comes from the way I shape my mouth to make certain sounds.

[Rahne]

2.  If we played "6 Degrees of..." I could connect myself to Jack Nicholson, Sharon Tate and Charles Manson.

Gee in that case I know all the world leaders and all of hollywood. My cousin Tracy Wahl is a producer for NPR, who interviewed former President Jimmy Carter, you get the idea LOL

Never thought about it that way. I guess I might be connected to Kevin Bacon LOL

I never claimed to actually know them, in fact, the only "celebrities" I've ever met  are a C/D-list former sitcom star who came to the Island last year to film an Indie film and an  80's adult film star when I used to work as a chauffeur.  I'm not even  going to TRY and say something happened...I just drove her from Point A to Point B and back to Point A for about a week.  She was a pretty cool lady, though, and a great tipper!

12.  I once held a Top Secret Security clearance (it's not as cool as it sounds)
13.  I don't know how to drive a motorcycle, nor have I even ridden on one, but I once spent a season touring with and working at a Harley swap meet selling knives and running a grill.

There's probably more, but I don't remember a good portion of my mid 20's to my early 30's.  Yea...I was "that" guy.
