You do realize that they also post here quite a lot? Some pretty weird s#!% sometimes.

I'm not odd, I'm anachronistic.

I've always disliked the term OCD, and spend most of my time trying to avoid the label. But the one time someone on SRP accused me of being "a little OCD", I felt complimented.

I have more tools than Home Depot, and live in a two room apartment. I use one kitchen cabinet for kitchen stuff. All the rest are full of things I need.

I keep a belt grinder in the bedroom.

Normal is really boring.

Normal=average and what great person ever set their target at "average"?

My new word for the day.

Now wait a minute. To get "average" you add up all the bits and then divide by the number of bits. The bits that go into making an average can vary wildly: the average of 100 and 0 is 50, for example.

So when someone says they are average take a very close look at them: that may mean they are freaks in both extremes, but that their freaky bits just happen to cancel each other out!!

I don't think that there is anything odd here. I am glad that I wear long sleeves at work.

I am still using the first batch of soap made with the recipe you passed on to me. I have thought about trying something different but I can't bring myself to do so until I use that up. I don't feel I need more than one soap. Now is that odd?

I'm very thankful for the collection of odd balls that make up SRP. None of my non SRP friends understand that lavender and rose can be masculine scents.

The late great Utah Philips had a great commentary on normal vs average. The relevant bit starts about 4:20 in:
