R5........I measured it!!

And, the last time I parked at the Atlanta airport, I said.........razzledazzle...my DH...said..what the hell?

I said I can remember we are parked in R5, because one of the ax murderers on fodors is called R5....razzledazzle.

He never understood, but I found the car upon our return home!!

I set a track record in high school that still hasn't been broken.

I just ate half a wedge of brie.

dogs can't look up
...at least according to the movie "Shaun of the Dead". Did anyone else see that movie? Talk about useless!

Good thread though Faina! Very entertaining, hehe.

My legs on are the packaging for a depilatory cream.

Scarlett-- That's awesome!! I love it!

LOL, I wouldn't mind a slice of brie :D

That just made me remember, too- at the end of senior year of high school, you know you vote on those "most likely to, best this that and the other thing, etc" things- I got Most Musical and Best Legs--- LOL now my legs are chunky and pale!!!

Too much brie, I guess ;)

I went to high school with Johnny Cash's daughters. My grandfather came from out of town to go to my brother's and my sister's graduation because Johnny was there. Roseanne was a couple of grades ahead of me and Cindy was a couple of grades below me.

Whatever algebra and geometry you forgot after high school you will relearn years later when your kids go to school!

My son went to HS with a Days of Our Lives actor

Britney Spears is an anagram of Presbyterians.

(I actually learned that here on Fodor's! Who says there's no useful info here?)

Post number 4. Dang. Here come the intervention police.

I can say the alphabet backwords at breakneck lightning speed, thanks to a rainy day substitute teacher in 4th grade.

Ready?

Really, I can do this very fast, in just a few seconds. It is the ONLY thing I do that impresses my teenagers and their friends.

I auditioned for the role of Anna in "The King and I" -- didn't get the lead, but played one of the King's wives. Oh, this was in HS, in case you were wondering. :)

Fainia, good job on this thread! :)

I can write in mirror writing, very easily.

I watched Steven Tyler throw the ultimate fit backstage at Cleveland Stadium cuz the limo left w/o him.

and I once knew a woman who lived in Kansas City who seriously dated the lead singer of the band Kansas (dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind), but she left him because her career was calling her to make more of a commitment and he was a needy fella at the time...

Scarlett, what depilitory cream??????? COME ON, do tell.

I was told that the "Hubba Hubba" expression when leering at pretty girls originated with Chinese sailors. As they walked down the street and saw a pretty girl, they would say to each other, "Good? Bad? Good? Bad" = "Hub hao? Hub hao?"

I guess westerners observing this thought this sounded like "Hubba hubba," and thus a verbal expression of ogling was born.

We enjoy making up our own words.

emd, I was bored in Kindergarten one day so I stared at the alphabet train on the wall until I could say it backwards!! Still can!! I think it's easier when you say it fast. :-)

stw, I like making up words too. Remember granny-aunt? That's my contribution to the English language. :-))

The best cure for a hangover is another beer.

BuffaloGirl--I got in big trouble in college for having my little sis in my sorority sing a "version" of that song at a fraternity:D We are still good friends and still laugh about it...and its been over 20 years, lol!

What's up with the media combining names of celebrity couples to make a weird-sounding name? ie TomKat, Bennifer, and Brangelina. I decided DH and I need a combined name. I tried to make combos of our first names, but I came up with nothing witty or memorable. So I combined our middle names, Wayne and Kay.

From now on, DH and I will ask our family and friends to refer to us collectively as:

Waynka.

What is your combined name with your spouse or significant other?

I not sleepy now..after being sleepy most of the day! Maybe this fun thread woke me up?

Fredinda. Yeah, that's right. Can you guess?

I am 50 years old and I can still recit the preamble to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales from 8th grade.

This just gets better and better. . .

Hey P_M, guess my late husband and I were ahead of the game.

We named our boat LONA..a combination of our first two names.

How is that dear Faina for another "useless information" post??

Gilbert's back needs mowing?

I saw Clint Eastwood in an elevator in a Denver hotel.

Oops.. guess it's not Friday anymore.

I rode in an elevator in a Nashville hotel with Kris Kristofferson.

P_M

Our combined names would be Damn! Dan/Pam
I didn't go to school with anybody you know either :)

Ours would be mcfong.

I was born when the men were on the moon.

It's a good thing my parents are not celebs in today's world. It would be impossible to combine their names, as they are Don and Donna. How would today's media have handled that?? :-?

Peter Frampton is bald now!! but still good.
do you all remember his long red wavy hair??!! :)

I was on Jeopardy, years ago, when Art Fleming hosted, and it was filmed in N.Y.C. I lost!

AAAAWWWWW, it's so nice to be remembered, icee !

Well as long as I have to wait here for my intervention, I thought I'd share
that I'm allergic to broccoli...

R5

R5,
Broccoli? The second most healthy food after tuna (cactus) on earth?
Best wishes for great health.
