post something odd about yourself

I like to do my store's intercom announcements with a thick St. Louis accent.
How does a thick St. Louis accent sound?
:confused:

Somewhat like this:

Attention Kroger shah-pers. Fahr the next half ahr, our snack bahr will be featuring some of our world famous fresh hot pahpcahrn...


That's a South St. Louis accent - Dogtown to be completely precise. ;) And you need to throw in something about pork steaks and toasted ravioli.

The odd thing about me: I have a third nipple.

Does it have feeling like the other 2? Like would it be worth it to buy an extra set of nipple clamps or is it just for show?

Gee thanks, now you've reminded me of my favorite place in St. Louis to eat toasted ravioli - Talayna's, which isn't there anymore. :( ;)

(practically lived off their food when I was going to Wash U)
 
Whenever I clean out my sinues with my Neti pot, afterwards I smell chocolate.

Given that the pot is always totally clean, I assume that the world just naturally smells like chocolate to me. :D

That's not a Saint Louis accent--dat's just country grammar...

And Talayna's is still here. It just moved several blocks further down the street...way yonder...

SHIT! :brickwall: I was just in St. Louis a couple of years ago (to see Busch Stadium III) and I didn't notice this. I walked right up to where Talayna's used to be...I guess I didn't go far enough. :(

So where should I have gone from that corner? N,S,E,W?

Yeah, they moved a few years before your last visit. They're on De Baliviere, now, further up in the Central West End towards Forest Park.

I'm bad with directions in the CWE (I'm a North County boy), but I recall heading west from that corner...
 
This is kind of embarrassing but it's relevant and I think y'all will get a kick out of it.....

My butt crack is crooked. The hubby always says something like, "Awwww look at your crooked crack" when I'm getting in the shower and such. Instead of going straight up, near the top it curves to the right a little bit. It's not freakish but it's definitely noticeable.
Aw...to support you I'll share an equally embarrassing weirdness: I have an anal dimple -- the tissue over the end of my spinal cord hadn't completely fused when I was born, and this resulted in a little dimple right above my butt crack.

I can't think of too many other unusual things about me. I sometimes sing myself to sleep at night.

*writes that down* It was always easy to find when I was at Wash. U, 'cos it was right off the edge of the campus...

Okay, back on topic. Something else that's odd about me: my speaking voice. I sound like a 45-rpm single played at 33.
 
My brain sometimes confuses the scent of coffee for the scent of tuna. :confused:

Really??? Me too! I wonder why that is?

Thankfully it's not an uncommon occurrence, otherwise you'd do well to see your family practitioner. :(
That's fascinating! I always thought I was just weird that way. It generally only happened in my old office building, which I suspected of having something to do with it. Since I don't drink coffee anyway, I figured my brain was just skewed. :p
 
People have accused me of having a Welsh accent, when in fact, apart from a week's holiday with my family in 1993, I've never lived in Wales. :guffaw:

People from Corby accuse me (joke) of being from Australia, and I have never been there at all! The same goes for all Americans (save one who told me I talk like Harry Potter)! People call me posh even though I'm not!

I'm the only person in my area who has no driving license.

I hook up with blokes who are bad for me. My mum says I do that on purpose.

Beat that, people. :rolleyes:
 
Whenever I'm working on a writing project, I tend to walk around-- public, at home, waiting for a meeting, don't matter-- muttering entire blocks of dialog to myself, complete with shifting voices and accents for each character. I've had whole arguments while shopping in the grocery store with "myself"-- only to notice, 1) my voice was a little louder than a mutter, and 2) a lot of people were staring at me.
