I prefer a visit to the reflexologist - you guys really do have basic acupuncture on your side of the pond!Quote:

I do have an uncanny ability to completely trash any lawnmower I touch though.

Forgot to mention, I only have 9 and a half fingers! A little different huh?

Well my great uncle (something like that) was Judge John Fournet who was right hand man to Huey P. Long -- Governor of Louisiana --- and I think was present at his assassination. Huey Long was a considerable figure in Louisiana politics and the U.S. for that matter ---- close to a dictator and some believe assassinated for that reason.

I knew there was something different about you Mark, I just couldn't put my finger on it :fim:Quote:

I've never seen that movie so I wouldn't know James ----Quote:

An ugly girl can be called a 'minger', particularly in central scotland. This gives rise to an army of young teenage minger neds all sprogged up underage (see Glasgow) :roflmao:roflmao

Well if this whole third nipple thing keeps going, I'm pretty unique because I have two!:eek:
As far as relations, I'm directly related on my mom's side to U.S. Grant, the civil war general. Also, before everyone came over on the boat, a great grandfather was a prussian archduke something or other.
I'm unique in other ways that most people don't believe. I used to race BMX, then MX, now I like to fence. People typically describe me as a nerdy type person because I "know all the answers to life's computer problems" (it's 42). Of course I don't, but my clients swear I do. I'm also a pretty handy guy, comfortable in almost any shop with any tool. Anyway, people usually don't believe all that and I can't blame them- they're usually pretty boring people:roflmao
