25 random things...

Who is Kevin McKidd and what is The Real World?

Item #1 is a giant turnoff, but #2 is really very hot. ;)

Thank you - it was one of the best parts of high school. I mean, the safe sex education part. Not the virgin part particularly. ;)

Kevin McKidd is this actor who was in Rome, a very cheesy show that used to be on HBO. He's now on Grey's Anatomy. It's his presence that is so sexy. He's really great with the strong and silent type.

ETA: The Real World was one of the first reality shows on MTV - seven strangers picked to live in a house...

Terribe about item 1, huh? I know, I know. I liked to listen to the radio when I was studying, and there were times when nothing particularly good was on NPR or CSPAN radio. I also listened to all of President Johnson's tapes, and all of the recorded conversations between Linda Tripp and Monical Lewinsky (courtesy of CSPAN radio)!

p.s. I suppose there's no chance you'll contribute a 25, eh? ;)

Whatever you have against Old Bay Seasoning may be moot: I can't find it on the shelves in any of the stores that I frequent any longer.

What do you have against it, by the way?

Ugh, I can't stand the smell, and how strong it is, and how it permeates everything in crab cake. It's not on your shelves? I am so moving to Chicago!

Seriously? You weren't nervous or blushing or anything? Quit ruining this fantasy for me! :mad: ;)

Thanks for the answers on McKidd and the MTV show.

Jesus, woman. There *is* such a thing as music, you know!

I blather on enough about myself on this board.

I did blush a lot in high school, if that helps, but I was also an actor and a forensics geek (no, not like CSI). I was not exactly what you'd call a shy little flower. Also, we did two days of training, part of which entailed practicing putting condoms on a banana. I did giggle through the training, but by the end I could talk about bodily parts without blinking an eye. I actually had a whole lot of bravado in high school that was not at all in correlation to how completely out of place I felt!

Ha ha ha. Good one!

Yes, that helps. ;)

No goofin' around - are you serious about the banana thing?

You're telling me they had high school girls rolling condoms down bananas in a room full of high school guys? Why didn't they just pass out Playboy with the homework assignments, for god's sake?
 
No way Old Bay will be gone, until Chesapeake crabs are extinct.

Which could actually happen, but hasn't yet.
Close enough.

Which is damn sad. I remember staying at my grandmother's summer house on the Bay, going out on the dock with a couple of chicken heads, some string and a net, and pulling out a bushel of huge healthy feisty crabs in an hour or two.

We did the banana thing during the training (in a room with a handful of high school guys), but then we the trainees in turn put on a sketch comedy show that was also educational. I was a theater geek. :eek:

Oh my God - that reminds me! In the training they taught us to put condoms on with our mouths! It's still a party trick that I do every once in a --ok, never actually. But still - now that I think about it - if my mother knew I learned that she probably would have yanked my tush out of that program.

Not sure I've ever experienced grandparent envy before, but I'm definitely suffering now.

I think you're pulling my leg.

I sent my underwear to a stranger and you're doubting my integrity!

It does seem insane though. The training was through Planned Parenthood. I guess the idea was to make using a condom fun. I mean we were seniors in high school, so we were close to 18. :eek:
 
Where's your 25, Jmo?

I wanna hear "random" shit about how the shrapnel in your head from Khe Sahn only bothers you when you are scuba diving. ;)

I'm trying to get my head around the idea of a school district so liberal that this could transpire.

In about 5th or 6th grade, we were divided into separate boy/girl rooms for two hilarious 16mm films: Boy to Man and Girl to Woman. We got sex ed and contraception education in high school Biology class. The info was thorough and explicit, but there was no goofin' around. What I remember most are the disease photos and stats that caught and held my attention.

If some girl had stood up and started rolling a condom down a banana, I wouldn't have been listening to a damn thing anybody said. It would have been entertaining as hell, though, I'll grant you that.
 
Please call me when you get the Porsche. I think men in Porsches are cute.

Apparently, at least 2 people have read this. Maybe even 3. :D

What is the string for?

~LB

I'm not sure of when I'll have a Porsche, but I'll surely call you when the day comes. In the meanwhile, I have a Porsche keyring, does that count? :D

As for the string.. It might come handy all the time, doesn't it? To replace a broken shoestring, to fix a broken suitcase handle, to wrap a parcel... Or to tie someone...
 
Thanks for the coffee. I'll cook for you, if you prepare some okonomi-yaki...

PS: Maybe this would be a good time to revive the Tea house of the rising sun thread?

Done!

And I do love okonomiaki ... mmmmmmm



6. Speaking of crying, I cry all the time - over tv shows, songs and stories on the radio.
7. I hated being pregnant, and often hope that next time will be different.

Yep. Same: tv shows, letters, music, stories, commercials ... get all teary eyes ...

But I loved been pregnant :)
childbirth thou ... I could do without ;) even thou for some reason as soon as I was done popping out DD2 I was so unhappy with how poorly I handled childbirth that I wanted to do it again (birthing ... not having another kid). I blame hormones for the momentarly insanity of the statement (after DD1 I remember telling the doc that the next would have been a C section ... the doc looked at me as if she had it heard already 100 times :rolleyes: )

I had the same thing in 6th grade. And I never rolled a condom down a banana in front of a class. Our skit show was much more tame. The school district was actually not that liberal, it's just that this particular activity was through the drama class and sort of flew under the radar. If the skits had featured condoms and bananas, I'm sure someone would have objected. But those of us in the skits who had the training were smart enough not to share that little tidbit with our parents. And I was not at all promiscuous (I wasn't inspired to go slut it up or anything).
 
Who you callin' strange? :cool:

:kiss:

Wasn't particularly good at childbirth either, though that's not a story for the boards. Luckily after a rocky start, I took to mommyhoood pretty darn well. :)

Good to know. Some chick vamping it up would have just pissed me off.
