I'd say salt's optional.
No objection to that. My Adam's natural peanut butter says "contains 1% or less of salt."

Peanut butter and honey's tits though. Spreadable honey makes it easier to deal with.
My mom got me started on PB and honey at a very young age, and I have one basically every day. I can't recall the last PB&J I had, though.

At my sophomore high-school talent show I won 2nd place for catching 8 grapes in my mouth (without chewing or swallowing) at 25'.

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

I bet you still broke plenty of hearts.

I was born with a Ventricular septal defect. I was tested every 2 years until I was 16, to see if the defect was closing up on its own and whether surgery would be necessary. The defect was nearly closed so surgery was not recommended.

I was the British Bulldog champion at my elementary school until grade 6.

You know that I'm really not a doctor but I bet you didn't know I am not a doctor's son.

Of the 10 times we've deployed solar arrays on board the ISS I've supported 8 of them. Of the two times we've retracted them I supported both.

I was born with one kidney, missing my left one.
My right nipple is half gone, birth defect again.
A comment I made on this forum about Anand sounding like Bob Costas made it on a CNet once during a webcast when he was being interviewed.
I've had beers with ATOT'ers in at least 6 different states.
I hit 18/20 three pointers in an intramural contest in college.
My fastest 400m time is 64 seconds.
My fastest 1 mile time is 5:06.
My fastest 2 mile time is 11:22.
My fastest 3 mile time is 17:35.
I ran those two years after playing offensive guard in high school football.

Most of those are awesome.

I abhor rotary wing aircraft, can hear the sound of them long before most other people and get sweaty palms during their visit. If a movie has them flying around for too long I have to establish a mental block that detracts from the movie enough that ruins the experience.

I've even had nightmares that we were under attack from big ones that dropped dozens of stegosauri around and they were drugged up or something whipping everyone into a big pile of injured people with broken bones to be ignited ablaze with napalm shot from an even larger multi rotor gunship.

As twisted as that sounds it pales in comparison to the repeated nightmare I had that started at age six involving spaghetti spewing ceiling fans that plunged from the ceiling and chopped off all the adults' heads. o_O

I may have smoked a blunt laced with cocaine atop the radar mast of the USS Sterett (CG-31) pier side 32nd street San Diego. :whiste:

Far Cry is the recommended therapy. There is something cathartic about shooting down helicopters.

I had my own radio show when I was in 10th grade. A friend and I prank called the radio station and the DJ thought it was so funny he wanted me to call in every Tuesday at 5pm for my own 10 minute bit.

I tried that back in (2004?) and sucked badly at it. Used a launch switch (-devmode?) to cheat and damn if those pesky "egg beaters in the sky" didn't find me! I switched it off even though as much as I would love to see them ripped to shreds with a javelin missile 1000 times over and over again the thought (in real life) that a person piloting such a dreadful machine perishes crosses my mind. Then in my nightmares they pick me up and carry me away in a search and rescue craft swinging wildly below whisking to the to top of a waking volcano waiting for the order to release their grip dropping the boat (with me inside) down the conduit to a lava dome. The smell of burning GRP and rubber is perceived no more than 100ms before impact. At least it should not be painful but who knows.

I had a nightmare last night that kind of freaked me out. I dreamt i was at a theme park on one of those school trips like you took back in elementary school. I was riding a rollercoaster that was themed after passover. We were going through one of the loops when the end of the car detached and the guy in the car plummeted to his death. There were also goats in like a petting zoo. It was really freaky and Im shivering just thinking about it.

i can't go in all the way when i have sex.

i sit down to pee because it's a lot cleaner for my bathroom. i also sit whenever i'm in a girl's bathroom (a friend's, not the ladies restroom), but stand everywhere else.

i was turned down to be a contestant for the weakest link because i answered all the trivia questions correctly. they wanted dumb people.

I'm batshit crazy with guaranteed OCD (runs in family), paranoia, and hints of addiction (runs on one side). Self-diagnosed with probably narcissm or borderline personality disorder, maybe a tad of aspergers. Batshit. Crazy.

Oh, and I'm a squatter. Too many "all over the floor" accidents as a kid.
