AFriendlyFace Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 The person below me has been snorkellling/diving at the Great Barrier Reef (in Australia for the geographically challenged) No, but I wanna The person below me has something unusual on their desk.
C James Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 No, but I wannaThe person below me has something unusual on their desk. Does a bolt from the Space Shuttle Columbia count? And no, it is NOT debris from the disaster; it is a bolt from one of the hydraulic assemblies, removed during servicing after the first shuttle flight. I thus had it for many years before the Columbia disaster. The person below me also loves weird "souvenirs", and will name some that they have.
Caipirinha Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 you haven't seen Star Wars ...Kids today... Sorry, I'm just not a sci-fi kind of guy. I've tried to sit through it a couple times, but I usually get bored and fall asleep after 10 minutes. (Though my brother always wakes me up for the Cantina scene, because I love the song.) :-) The person below me also loves weird "souvenirs", and will name some that they have. I actually have relatively few of them but I have a nasty habit of clepto-ing random items from restaurants and bars in the places we visit. My most recent example is as follows: 2 weeks ago my friend T wished me a safe and happy trip to Italy and asked me to bring her back a shot glass from Rome. I tracked down several shops in Rome selling novelties including shot glasses, but didn't like any of them. So obviously the next logical step (to me at least) was to go to a bar with a bunch of my cousins and their friends and take a shot. They all slammed thier glasses on the bar counter, I slammed my glass into my pocket. Cut to a week later when I get home; not only does T have her shot glass from Rome, but she has one with an interesting story behind it. In the past for various other friends I've borrowed silverware, napkins (Alot of napkins, mostly for my friend E who collects stolen napkins from restaurants around the world), menus, salt shakers, interesting jars of random condiments, glasses, and occasionaly a plate. One of my favorite pieces however has to be a table cloth we got from a Portugese restaurant on a school field trip. I bet the waiters and waitresses that I could do that thing where you pull the tablecloth out from underneath a set table. If I couldn't I would pay for everything I broke/damaged, if I could however I got to keep the tablecloth. Needless to say I walked out of that restaurant a very happy man who now owned a table cloth. Sorry this comment was wayyyyyyyyyyyy too long. The person below me stopped reading my exorbitantly long response halfway through.

The person below me stopped reading my exorbitantly long response halfway through. Nope -- I stopped about a quarter of the way through, jumped to the "person below me" comment and then went back and finished reading it There's nothing wrong with a long post As a side point, I have a number of bar glasses from around the UK, but I asked if I could have them. The innkeepers always just gave them to me when I said I wanted souveniers to take back to Australia. The person below me wants to write an even longer comment than the one above by Caipirinha
C James Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 The person below me stopped reading my exorbitantly long response halfway through. Not me! I enjoyed it! When I was a kid I used to, um, "acquire" airline cutlery. I traveled several times a year so I had plenty of opportunity. Back then they used real metal with the airline's name stamped on it, and I soon had loads. When I left home for College I used it to set up my apartment, which garnered plenty of questions as to why my cutlery was all airline issue from a plethora of different airlines. LoL! Hmmmm, Just checked, and I see that about half of my cutlery today is still the same airline cutlery! It really does last! The person below me also has a lot of airline cutlery in their cutlery drawer.
Juss Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Nope.. I've hardly gone overseas The person got an A+ for their english paper
AFriendlyFace Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 (edited) The person got an A+ for their english paper Typically, but not lately obviously. I'm going to grad school in the fall though! The person below me can't seem to find their keys BTW congrats, Juss!!! Edited October 23, 2006 by AFriendlyFace
C James Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 The person below me can't seem to find their keys That is downright spooky, Kevin! I lost mine yesterday. I have a backup set, but it still bothers me as I don't know where my main set is. The person below me is also missing their keys.
rknapp Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I've lost my keys only one time in my life, and they were actually the keys to my mothers Corvette. Long story short, they got into my toolbox when I was working on my own car. Lol. The person below likes to pull a "long-story-short" trick on people that has an outcome that doesn't make sense without the story behind it.
Drewbie Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Happens to me Person below me doesn't like action movies.
Marty Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Person below me doesn't like action movies. I suppose it all depends on what the action is. The person below me often finds himself/herself crying when watching certain movies.
jalaki Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I suppose it all depends on what the action is. The person below me often finds himself/herself crying when watching certain movies. Y'know, this is much too broad a question. Do you mean like, at appropriately sad times/ 'Cuz that's not all that spectacular to say yes to. Now if you say something like "I cried when Dobby dropped the cake" then it would be something To jump back a little... The person below me realizes Harrison Ford has played many roles that were NOT Han Solo and thus still can't believe there are people who have never seen a movie the guy was in.
rknapp Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 I'm sure the Amish haven't seen him in any movies. The person below me can get free subway until thursday night. +1 for being in college, woo!
Site Administrator Graeme Posted October 24, 2006 Site Administrator Posted October 24, 2006 I'm sure the Amish haven't seen him in any movies. The person below me can get free subway until thursday night. +1 for being in college, woo! Definitely not... though the opposition party here in Victoria is promising free public transport for all students -- including trips that have nothing to do with school. The person below me is tired and needs to go home.
C James Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 The person below me is tired and needs to go home. I'm not tired, and I am at home, so I guess I shouldn't be answering this one. The person below me is a big fan of Echidnas!
Juss Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Echidnas?...Hmmm.. They are kinda slow and spiky. I prefer the good old kangaroos The person below me wants to have a pet kangaroo
AFriendlyFace Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 The person below me wants to have a pet kangaroo uh huh The person below me HAS a pet kangaroo
Site Administrator Graeme Posted October 24, 2006 Site Administrator Posted October 24, 2006 uh huh The person below me HAS a pet kangaroo Not me (we have enough wild ones around here -- we don't need pet ones as well), but I once knew someone who had one. You need a special license, though, if you want to have a kangaroo. The person below me is having trouble think of another "person below me" statement.
C James Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 The person below me is having trouble think of another "person below me" statement. I certainly am, though that is no surprise because I can rarely think of anything to say. (that is why I am a lurker, not a poster.) So, what to say, what to say... Hmmmm... The person below me knows the difference between a Wallaby and a Kangaroo.

So, what to say, what to say... Hmmmm... The person below me knows the difference between a Wallaby and a Kangaroo. Sure do. Hint: This is a time when size DOES count. The person below me is......the person below me!
Site Administrator Graeme Posted October 25, 2006 Site Administrator Posted October 25, 2006 Sure do. Hint: This is a time when size DOES count. The person below me is......the person below me! Strangely, I have to agree you on this one. The person below me has delusions of grandeur. Or maybe the reality of grandeur. Who am I to say differently....?

C James Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 The person below me has delusions of grandeur. Or maybe the reality of grandeur. Who am I to say differently....? I have many delusions, but grandeur is not amongst them, BECAUSE I SAY SO, and that, after all, makes it true. The person below me wonders how long this game will keep running?
Drewbie Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Game keeps on going and going Person below me, always gets their clothes ready the night before.
NateB Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Game keeps on going and going Person below me, always gets their clothes ready the night before. Why waste the time? :? i mean c'mon i just grab whats ontop of the clean pile. The person below me can't wait to work again (yes i'm a freak lol )
