Bored, and inspired, so here we go.

This works best for those that have been here for awhile.

What is it about you, that most members here would be surprised by?

If you've been here awhile, you probably have some sort of notion in your head about how others here "see" you.
What is it about you, in reality, that you think would surprise most members?
 
I was an honors all state choir singer my Jr and Sr years of high school. I also dressed up in tights and a tunic to sing in a madrigal group and spangly stuff to sing and dance in show choir.

This was at the same time I was playing football and boxing. The chicks were better in choir which was why I started. Long bus rides to shows playing truth or dare on the back of the bus.

You’re supposed to surprise us.😂

I have a rooster that follows me around the yard like a puppy. He will peck at my ankles until I squat down and pet him. Spoiled bird....


Edit: And I will probably cry like a baby when he dies.

We grow lots of things here. I think I'm supposed to be that guy. We run 90% self sufficient on our food. Don't have a salt mine yet.

Anyway, we grow lots of awesome fruit trees, berry vines and bushes, nut trees, and of course multiple gardens. We can a LOT!

Our tomatoes in particular are varied, plenty, and beautiful.

I hate them as far as eating them goes.

I'm traipsing around in my overalls preaching about the country lifestyle eating snapping turtles, coons, bobcats, raw oysters, crawdads, frogs, and whatever else I can kill. Love "weird" country stuff like pickled quail eggs, pickled candy watermelon rinds, pickled okra, and lots of old time dirty south treats.

But I hate a tomato sandwich. I hate tomatoes on biscuits. They smell good. Love em in my stew and on my hamburger. But I'll never eat another mater sandwich the rest of my life if I can help it.

I knew we were related somehow.

Yeah I hate all raw tomato and onions- fine with them cooked. And screw okra unless pickled.

I did autoglass as an installer and manger for 15 years

I am not a Christian- at best I am Agnostic

I am not racist- I pretty much hate everyone equally

I will give my life to those I care about but will not piss on someone on fire I don't know.

I value some human less than some animals
 
I accidentally “shot” myself in the shin for science.

I was managing a range, and we used to let folks come in and test IIIA vest composites before we opened.

They needed a trigger puller for the .44 mag.

That was my job. Turns out, if there’s a .44 mag slug lodged in a vest, and you shoot another one near it, the slug from the vest comes flying back pretty fast.

Nailed my shin. Could not walk for a while. The scar is a giant bald spot over my tibia that bleeds every time I deadlift.
 
I actually bought a high quality weapon from a respected manufacturer the other day. Just to make the Radical, BCA, Heritage, Kel Tecs and Tauri jealous of course.

Aside from that totally out of character maneuver, this city boy has lived on a small farm for the last 10+ years. Other than mowing, clearing brush, and feeding animals I don't partake in much of the farm life but do reap the rewards. Peppers are in season, and if you like it hot I got your number right here.

RR we have one rooster left from about 80 birds. He's the only one left alive and been by himself for the last 4-5 years. Even the coyotes, foxes and hawks know he'd be tough as shoe leather. We still feed him though, but he still won't let me pet him. At least it still sounds like a farm.

im actually very friendly despite being an introvert who hates people.
i took a test to become an mc and discovered i got more juice than picasso got paint.
i identify as a classical liberal and resent what the term liberal has come to mean.
i once had two threesomes with 4 girls in one 24 hour period.
i had my own room at the back of the bus.
my name is not smith or wesley. or waylon.
 
If you have been around for the last 15 years, you know just about all there is to know about me.

No, the avatar is not me. It might have come close 40 years ago.

I am a foodie and have the ability to prepare just about anything from just about anything except I have yet to master puff pastry but, I keep trying. BTW @thrillhill I have one more jar of watermelon rind preserves, if you are interested.

I can shoot just about anything, though, there are some guns that I will graciously decline shooting (Magnum Research 45-70 revolver to name one).
 
Probably not a surprise, but I talk to my animals- dogs, chickens, even insects sometimes (mostly stingy ones, telling them to leave me alone).

I should clarify, they don't talk back to me. I wouldn't put up with that! 🤣
Maybe it's more surprising how I talk to them.
Yesterday, I went to check for eggs around 1pm. Nothing.
I told the hens "you bitches need to get busy and give me them eggs, quit being lazy hoes".
1.5hrs later, 7 eggs.
