"Aaargh! Too much pressure, I can't take it!"

This time by Rachel of Pereiraville:

Six Weird Facts About Me and/or Habits I Have

1) Ice in milk and beer - 4 years of living on an aircraft carrier, doing turns in the 100+ degree heat of the Indian Ocean - where cold beverages were more legend than fact - have given me an unnatural appreciation for the cooling power of ice. I don't care if it makes the beverage watery, it makes it COLD.

2) I once gave a guy my car in exchange for a coffee-grinder - Why? The car had been in an accident(not my fault), the insurance company gave me a check for the full value (they said it was totalled, but it still ran - just looked like a beat up piece of crap), the guy needed a car, and I had three cars and only two parking spaces (living in downtown Madison at the time, where you're lucky to find a parking spot to rent within 3 blocks of your apartment).

10 years later, I've still got the coffee grinder, and the car has long since been scrapped.

3) During my 6 month stint at Naval Nuclear Power School in Orlando, I quit smoking and started chewing Wrigley's Spearmint gum. I used the wrappers to make a gum wrapper chain. It ended up being about 30 feet long.

I still have it.

And no, it's not a record.

4) I know what a seam ripper is, I own one, and I've used it for its intended purpose on numerous occasions. My sister was shocked to discover this.

5) I know where to look to find wild catnip, and I think cats are hilarious after they've had a snootful.

6) I always carry a pen with me wherever I go, and don't understand people who don't.

Next victims:

Machelle of Quality Weenie - I gotta do SOMETHING to distract her from playing doggie-dress-up.

Chris of Spotted Horse - He turned 38 on April 16th, and needs something to distract him from his near-fatal rabbit-related wounding.

Songstress of News From The Great Beyond - Because the wombat told me to.

3 I always thought a "seam ripper" was a sharp, but strong blast of bowel windage.

4 doesn't every squid have a seam ripper in his locker?
