I'm bored

Tammy Wynette held me when I was a baby.

I killed a wild boar with a bow and arrow. The first and last time I'll go hunting.

Every time Mario Andretti sees me in a crowd, he shakes his head in disapproval.
Coincidentally, when Jack Roush sees me in a crowd, he grins and gives me a thumbs up sign.
Steve Saleen hates me.

I look great in a suit. other days, not so much.

I got to ride in a rare, converted, tandem P-51 Mustang.

I also got to drive a 91 Lola Chevrolet IndyCar.

I think toast, butter, and jam rivals peanut butter and jelly.

I fell two stories without breaking anything. Just to balance the universe, I caught a football and broke a finger.

I suffer from OCD. That's what they tell me.

If I sit down in gravel for more time than it takes to tie my shoes, I will inevitably start a rock collection.

One time on business travel whilst out to dinner with several colleagues, I decided to use the bathroom. Several seconds after picking my urinal, a kid no older than 10 walks up next to me and starts talking to me about god knows what. This conversation continued through washing my hands and walking out of the bathroom with me trying to be polite; responding with short phrases. When the kid sat down, the family members at his table stared me down hard.

I hate dogs
I lament the passing of bench seats, and vinyl floors in cars
I can hit an egg at ~50' with a slingshot
Aside from computers, I like old tech. Older is better

I have an odd number of teeth in my mouth. I had a lot of orthodontia done in my adolescent years, including a number of tooth extractions (mostly baby teeth, so no biggie). I was told my mouth was too small to accomodate all the permanent teeth I'd eventually get, so I would need four permanent teeth extracted. One was done, and then I went in for a consult to set up a time to get the other three done, only to be told it was probably no longer necessary. They just yanked my teeth around for a couple more years to get things lined up and called it good. Consequently, I'm short a maxillary first premolar on the right side.

I broke my tailbone once, falling from my 2nd floor apartment balcony, as I attempted to climb over it, very drunk, and locked out of my front door.

Word to the wise: don't do that. Ever.

I do miss vinyl. Except in 90+ weather.
Keep it conditioned, it will last decades.

I used to be pathologically afraid of dogs. Now just their barking annoys me.

My birth is the reason my dad talked to his father again for the first time in almost 20 years.

You got me interested with "honey," but then you lost me when you mentioned that abomination, "Jif." Peanut butter only needs 2 ingredients: peanuts and salt.

At my sophomore high-school talent show I won 2nd place for catching 18 grapes in my mouth (without chewing or swallowing) at 25'.

For some reason, I still couldn't get a girlfriend.

I'd say salt's optional. Peanut butter and honey's tits though. Spreadable honey makes it easier to deal with.
