I wish I had remembered this last night, because we could have had a Metal Foot Bonding Moment.

My knee is held together with a bolt. Maybe there are enough of us on this forum to build a whole mechanical person?

Whenever I smoke Golden Virginia tobacco, i think of my ancestor John Rolfe, who was a 15th century Virginia tobacco baron.

I was the Lansing Area Indian Leg Wrestling Champion for a few months.

I have a bachelor's in Electrical Engineering.

Those are mainly the only true things about me.

Which show and what problem? I need to know this.

My mother's maiden name is the same as my fathers surname. Pre-emptive strike. No and no. Just a common name.

I've been told I make the best handmade Pasta outside of Italy.

I am going to do everything I can to be a VERY good husband.

Does this mean you're related to Pocahantas?

There is no one in North America who will come through your front door and treat you with more respect and compassion when you have just had a loved one die in your arms.....than me.

My father invented the Tiger's Milk bar while working at Arizona Labs as his first job after college. Cool!

He was getting $5 an hour, and has not ever received any "royalties" or anything. Not cool!

I recently started a Crap/Not Crap thread about Tiger's Milk bars. Not cool!

I played one year of Little League in Southern California with Troy Aikman.

I once threw a complete game no-hitter in Little League that ended 17-4.

When I was about ten, I was on a summer school field trip bus and a bigger kid my age a couple of rows behind was pinching my little sister. I told him to "knock it off, dick." He turned his attention to me, and as we filed off the bus at Universal Studios, he was getting some shots in to my kidneys and ribs. I took it for about ten steps, then turned and burst his mouth with a good left hand. I was made to sit in the bus while everyone else saw the shark, and a few days later me, him and our parents convened in the principal's office. I was asked to give my side of the story, and I included everything except the calling him a dick part. His mother asked me if I hadn't said something else, I came clean, and she turned to the principal and said, "I'm sure you understand how we feel about being called names." They were black. I was shortly expelled. When we got out to the car, my dad knelt down and told me he was proud of me and that I had done nothing wrong. I've always loved him for that. Guess that's more cool on his part.

Everything about me is both cool and true.
