Bizarre/Random fact about yourself

[swolf]

i hate my job and often research joining the circus or a sideshow

Now I know who to call. Seriously, have you considered busking?
The American inventor and statesman Benjamin Franklin was a busker of sorts.
Paul McCartney of the Beatles donned a disguise and went busking.
Bruce Springsteen has been known to busk. There is a famous set of videos, recorded on 23 July 1988 on a street in Copenhagen, where he plays a variety of his songs with a busker on a street.[33]
Sting has also donned a disguise and gone out busking. He reportedly made £40. "He pulled a hat down over his eyes, but one woman said: 'It's Sting.' The man behind her said: 'You silly cow. It's not him. He's a multi-millionaire.'"[34]
The classical violinist Joshua Bell played as an incognito street busker at the Metro station L'Enfant Plaza in Washington, D.C. on 12 January 2007. Among 1,097 people who passed by, only one recognized him and only a couple more were drawn to his music. For his nearly 45 minute performance, Bell collected $32.17 (not counting $20 from a passerby who recognized him). He did this using a Stradivarius violin valued at around $2,000,000.[35]
Bon Jovi has been known to take to the streets from time to time. Among the most famous Bon Jovi busks were those at London?s Covent Garden and Moscow?s Red Square.[36]
Singer-songwriter Peter Mulvey recorded an entire album down in the Boston Subway, where he was a regular busker. In most cases, songs were recorded in one or two takes.[37]
Guy Laliberté was a street performer when he founded the Cirque du Soleil theatrical company in 1984.
On 18 November 2008 singer Tom Jones went outside London's Royal Festival Hall and busked for charity. He raised £500 for cancer research while doing a twenty minute set..

Those examples came from Wikipedia.com I've also heard that Penn and Teller did as well. I would but it's illegal here so I'm looking to restart my act in local restaurants.

Oh, yeah, I'm an Illusionist. Right now, it's mostly close up but, as I gather the financial resources (aka $), I plan on constructing and performing stage illusions and adding them in to my act.

I own a book on my shelf titled "The History of Oatmeal"

and have always wanted to read it, but never do for fear that it wont be as funny as I think it should be

 

[Guitar Gamer]

I am a great shot with a gun despite being near sighted.
...............without a scope

Due to rapid weight loss I have a tremendous amount of skin between my fingers.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I once found a 100 dollar bill on the ground.

I used this (and some other money) to buy a gameboy advance.

Which I promptly lost the next day.

:/

I once found a 100 dollar bill on a cruise-ship. I also found a 50 dollar bill once at work [in the middle of an isle, no where near the register] Finding money is awesome xD

 

[EBHughsThe1st]

I have ADHD and a dyslexia relating to math and symbols.

 

[dbungus2000]

I love putting peanut butter on pizza! and I hate sandbox games!

 

[Vorpals]

I named my flash drive "Pollen Tube", as a reference to something in plant biology that is analogous to a flash drive in a twisted way.

I've been playing guitar for about four years, but I have trouble with Guitar Hero.

On a similar note (pun totally intentional), I'm left handed, but I play guitar right handed because I find it more comfortable and more practical.

I've eaten venison and rabbit.

I used to eat macaroni and cheese with Cheez-Whiz instead of regular cheese or whatever kids usually use instead.

 

[KillerH]

I think about myself and my actions in third person

 

[Misterian]

I sometimes put my left hand in a position like I have an imaginary sheathed katana on my side.

 

[Mray3460]

I have Reverse Lateralization of Brain Functions (There's probably a shorter/official name for that, but I can't remember). Essentially all the specialization that is normally present in the right hemisphere of the brain is present in my brain's left hemisphere (And vice-versa).

I am an asexual, but not an aromantic.

I wrote a 37 page (Single space, 12 point, Times New Roman) constitution, detailing an original form of government jokingly named "Constitutional Tyranny," from scratch.

After over nine years of studying various religions to try to find the "right" one, I got fed up and spent months creating an entire personal religion and holy-book, with no material other than my own beliefs about the nature of existence, and my own internal moral compass...the fourth person I showed it to took one look at it and told me that I was a Deist (Never heard of it before). Went online, looked it up, and found out that a bunch of guys did what I had done (more or less) over 250 years ago...and came up with the EXACT SAME IDEAS...I didn't know whether to be excited or depressed...

 

[Feste the Jester]

I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Took me 4-5 years.

 

[twcblaze]

I have a (very small) third eyebrow that grows on my left temple.

it's not just hair, as it is black, my hair is brown, and it has a very different texture to it, there are only a few hairs, and they don't grow longer than I'd say 2 centimeters.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

I drink Syrup on a regular basis in large amounts.

Oh yeah, it's on
Mayo.....right out of the packet....

*stare down*
XD yeah I do it sometimes. I actually really like the taste and the look on my friend's faces when I finish. I do not do it usually, but it priceless to hear the "Eeewwwwww"

 

[Daipire]

I've found a potato in a dumpster and ate it with my friends.

 

[Wrann]

I have something I like to call a selective memory. I need to actually care about something in order to remember it. If I have no emotional attachment to it, it will not stay in my head.

I am the opposite of that and I will remember the most mundane and useless things. It seems the more random the fact the more likely I am to keep it in memory.

 

[MasterSparks]

I once had an abnormally long hair on my left arm and another in the same spot on the right.
I shaved them off and they've never grown back.

 

[Kataskopo]

I sometimes have cramps in my jaw when yawning.
I just had one, and it's annoying.

 

[Tehlanna TPX]

I suffer from strabismus. It basically makes it impossible for me to experience 3D movies/games/images, among other things.

I'm depressed, but I tend to shove it down and ignore it until I have a crying jag. Yay.

I don't like people who use terms and then mispronounce them. Like jalapeno. its an H sound not a J sound you fucking redneck!

Happens to me all the time.

It's a neat gimmick, but it's just that, a gimmick.
Don't worry about it.

 

[Diligent]

I am missing about a 3/4 inch off the tip of my right index finger. I lost it in a biking accident. And by biking accident I mean I stuck it in the moving chain of a stationary exercise bicycle when I was a toddler.
It does not affect my gaming, only my ability to be a bit more proficient at finger picking on guitar, which pisses me off.
Kids are stupid, wish I never was one.
