Reveal three random facts about yourself

I love this thread!

4. My family has raised racing greyhounds as long as I have been alive, we once swept an entire age bracket at the state meet once.
5. It took me three years to graduate high school, but five years to graduate college.
6. I have been in a Stanley Cup Championship locker room after a Game 7, but avoided being covered in alcohol because I had to drive over an hour and didn't want to get sobriety tested because I smelled of booze.

 

Three random facts? Too dull for that.

Too late to start a drunk thread? ;D

 

1, My first name was misspelled on my birth certificate. You know, you learn to live with it.

2, I was 35 or so before I learned that my mother had been married and divorced before she met my father.

3, I got into sports because it was the only job I'd never tried in three years at my college paper. One semester and I was pretty much hooked.

 

1. I have castrated a pig.
2. I've delivered many baby lambs and a few calves.
3. I am married to a former two-time all-american (yes, she beats me in basketball and I'm fairly athletic).

 

The middle name on my paycheck is not my real middle name. I have tried countless times to have it changed, but it never gets changed. It has only been that way for 12 years.

I'm scared to ride over bridges as a passenger, but do quite well when I'm driving.

When I go through tunnels, I try to sing along to the song as it fades out, and see how close I am to the beat when the radio comes back.

 

1.) My immediate and extended (aunts and uncles) family own nearly 750,000 acres in central Alabama.

2.) I was in line to inherit most of that until I decided I didn't want to own the (very, very large) family farm

3.) Most days, I don't like my job very much. But on those other days, there's nothing like the feeling.

 

OK, 3 more:

I am so left-handed that my parents once thought something must be physically wrong with my right. Later endured years of basketball coaches threatening to cut me if I didn't learn to use my right, never did learn, never was cut. To this day, I regard my right hand as a useless appendage for any task beyond typing and "holding" something.

I once sprung two friends from a Mexican jail via blatant bribery.

I sweat significantly more than the average man.

 

4. I once missed a 10-yard field goal, costing my college dorm flag-football team a 2-0 loss. (Yes, the goal posts were on the goal line.)

5. The first words I said to my future wife were, "Hi, how yewww doin'?" I'm sorry. I wasn't really that guy.

6. I won the Bong Olympics at our junior-year apartment, clearing two tables set on top of each other to capture the final event, the high jump. The runner-up went to the emergency room after hitting the corner of his mouth on the edge of the second table.

 

• My college roommates and I used to go on what we called "Random, Insane Road Trips." We were too broke to do anything, just drove there and back. The longest one was 450 miles one way, so that I could say I'd been to Texas.
• I've never tried any illegal drugs.
• I once got hit by lightning (indirectly) at a college football game.

 

Some of my buddies and I did something like that. We began playing poker at 6 p.m. one Saturday night. At 4 a.m., we got in the car and drove 80 miles to Berkeley Springs, W.Va. Just because we wanted to see what Berkeley Springs, W.Va., looked like.

There were copious amounts of beer somewhere in that story, but as I remember it, I was the DD.

 

- I haven't gone to the beach since 1994 (mainly) because of my excess body hair.

- I didn't learn how to tie my shoes until age 10.

- I use only irons when golfing, even if the hole is 600 yards.
