    63′ Chevy Impala 4 dour. I wet sanded and painted it primer gray. Then I jacked up the back end (cause that was cool). I put Crager S/S mag 60 wide mag wheels on it. I also replaced the 230 head with a 250 ci head to boost the meager horsepower.

    Music was an 8-track with Deep Purple Machine Head and I think the Scorpians and some old doo wop stuff.

    First job started before the car, working on the farm from sun up to sun down. I could have kicked anybody’s arse back and broke a lot of other guys bones in football practice and games.

    Cutting a cardboard matte with a wooden ruler as a guide. Pressed down as hard as a could to get a clean cut and dragged the heavy duty exacto knife right up over my left index finger (when I hit a notch in the wooden guide.) It took off the entire meat of my finger to the white bone. Hardly any blood. It was hanging by a flap of skin. True Story: my dad didn’t want to take me to the hospital and told me to duct tape it. I have the faintest scar you could possibly have. A few years later surgeons were doing EXACTLY this with butterfly adhesives. My father was a pioneer.

    1) First car — one of those stripped down stick shift box cars that looks like it should have a wind up key in back — I think it was called a Ford Fiesta

    2) Music in car — What music? Didn’t I just tell you it was stripped down

    3)First job — Helping my uncle refurbish a nun’s convent. Diann’s post reminded me of that

    4) What I would have liked to have done for a living — Would have loved to have remained an Army interrogator linguist, but various and sundry DOD career management retards made that an impossibility. Don’t get me started …

    Musical instruments — Can play Yankee Doodle on my Mom’s grand piano. Couldn’t make the move up to the next level, namely “Mary had Little Lamb.” — which became my musical Waterloo.

    Offbeat attractive famous person question — Rue MacLanahan from the Golden Girls. I shall not Blanche from saying — I wanna do the Rue.

    Favorite store for clothes — Kohls

    Store for groceries — Safeway

    Cereal — Special K

    10-12 — Grew up in a house: Went to Catholic schools from Grades 3-12: Loved History (knew more than the teachers did)Hated Math

    Karaoke Songs — Strangers on my Flight; or the latest tune from Mohammed “Bing” Laden, “Walking in a Shi’ite Wonderland” Actually I have sung my own song parodies

    Injury caused by own stupidity — I have a problem right now in my elbow joint which is being aggravated by all the typing I’m doing as I make these posts. So imagine — this wholly unnecessary interminable run-on final sentence that you are presently reading at this very exact moment is, in fact, an act of complete stupidity on my part.

    I actually have agoraphobia – fear of wide open spaces, and for me, it only realistically applies to deep waters or open air (space) – but if forced, probably submarining – and I’d need someone near who didn’t mind semi-permenant fingernail marks in their arm upon resurfacing.

    15 – Injury you’ve sustained because of your own stupidity?
    Nothing physical – by my pride has been self-wounded many a time. :)

    Guess I’ll take the plunge

    Prelim info: I’m 49; Live in Irvine, CA. Been conservative my whole life. Voted Reagan in ‘84 in my cherry election. Mother was allergic to dogs and cats so never got in the habit of having pets.

    What else — Stones over Beatles, Ginger over Mary Ann, Lucy over Ethel Mertz. I guess that brings me up to speed. Without further ado

    1- First car ever was a Ford Pinto in a slightly off-piss shade of yellow with tint of puke green. Not a babe magnet, that’s for sure.

    2- I’d listen to whatever was playing onthe classic oldies station

    3- First real job was putting points on the ends of aluminum tubes. You’d stick the tube into this machine called a swager, which ws exactly like a giant pencil sharpener. Basically I sharpened giant pencils for eight hours.

    4 – Would loved to have done that job for 12 hours a day. Didn’t really tax your mind very much. Left you with a lot of time to think

    5 -Never played musical instrument, but made a helluva racket with that swager machine.

    6- My offbeat celebrity beauty would be Kirstie Alley even in her Earth Mother mode. I’d only put my foot down if she goes past 275. As a general rule I can’t abide a woman who weighs more than I can bench for 20 reps.

    Seriously, Kirstie, don’t call Jenny. Just come see your Papa at IOTW

    7 what store do I get my clothes in? — “Honey, where do you get my clothes?”

    8. Store that I normally buy my cereal in? What the hell kind of question is that?

    10. Lived in a house

    11. Went to Catholic Grade School; Public High School (good public high school before it went downhill)

    12. Majored in History in College, and like almost everybody here hated Math

    13 and 14 — ehh

    15 — Always pulling one damn thing or another as I keep underestimated the toll that age is taking on my body

    @cowgirl- pshaw, you got it goin’ on from the pics I saw!

    I have to admit, although I was/ have never been starstruck, and as soon as a guy told me he was an actor he’d miraculously get much more unattractive,
    I did have one crush on Jason Connery, son of Sean, who was Robin Hood in the British TV series. I had been dating Mancakes for about year when we went to visit his parents. They had just come back from London where they had dinner at some famous ballerina’s house (my father in law painted ballet) and said they sat next to Jason Connery. They had no idea I knew who he was, much less that I had a strong desire to have his kids. Mancakes begged them not to tell me anything.

    1- First car you ever owned?

    First motor VEHICLE I owned was a 1974 Honda Elsinore dirt bike I bought brand new with money I earned myself. Since I wasn’t yet old enough to get a license I had to walk it a couple of miles to the dirt tracks.

    My 1980 Plymouth Arrow with the flames on it had a wobbly cassette deck. I was listening to The Beatles, The Records, Rockpile, Squeeze and Elvis Costello. Come to think of it, I ended up walking more when I had that pile of crap car!

    I’d sing I Love You Period but it would have to be with a real live band.

    14- Which would you do if you had to pick one – go into space or deep sea submarining?

    Both pretty scary but subs are very safe statistically.

    15 – Injury you’ve sustained because of your own stupidity?

    Nearly cut my left index finger off with an Xacto-Knife. Went half way through stopping at bone (this is similar to BFH – it’s an occupational hazard). Although, (here’s the stupid part) I was using it for a carpentry project when I should have been using a real tool. Much blood and stitches and it’s still a bit numb 18 years later.
