1. I have access to our counties arrest records/reports. I read through people I know quite a bit and was suprised at how many people I know that were sexually abused as a child

1. The most shocking thing I found while snooping? When I was a teen I found my mom’s porn collection. Yes, my mom had porn. For real.
2. I found something to do with pilates for golf. I don’t do either of those but I’ve been meaning to try yoga.
4. I live in Omaha so our current slogan is “O! is for Omaha” but it was “Omaha: Rare, well done” but we call ourselves the Big O and the River City
5. A Novel Approach

BTW my captcha is one-tenth messina- do you think there’s a secret message in that?

In the 70’s San Bernardino, CA used the slogan “The City on the Move”. Pretty funny when you consider that the city straddles the San Andreas fault.

When I googled my mom, I found pages and pages of a police deposition detailing my second cousin’s involvement in a meth ring. In Thermopolis, Wyoming, of all places.

4. I live in Orlando which is called “The City Beautiful.” Nothing wrong with it, per se, just that it’s extremely generic.

I grew up in Ormond Beach (near Daytona), whose slogan is “The Birthplace of Speed” because at the turn of the 20th century they ran auto races on the beach there, which eventually led to the formation of NASCAR in Daytona. That one I think is pretty fitting.

5. Hm.. Lit Chat? Annotations? I like Biblio Files too.

1. When I was 8yo, I found three dead dogs under my brother’s bed. He had killed all three and apparently had play playing with them post mortum.. Needless to say, we’ve never been the same. Haven’t heard from him in twenty-two years.

I did find condoms in my parent’s bedside table drawer. I’m more embarrassed by the fact that I then interrogated my mother (at the age of 9 or 10) as to why they used them. I remember saying, “Your tubes are tied, does one of you have a disease or something?” I’m pretty sure she was mortified.

I found out that there is a character in Coyote Ugly with my name. And my email tag name brings up a lot of dirty stuff.

I, too, would love to see Dexter’s Lab on DVD.

I live in Chattanooga, TN – “a great city by nature”. Right, the mountains are purdy and everthang, but the real beauty is in the sheer number of mullets and spray-painted camouflage pick-up trucks. Yee-haw.

Ok, so a google search for my name turns up a boxer who is about the size I was in high school, lived in a place where my father now lives, though I have never been there, is almost exactly ten years younger than me, and was killed two years ago. I boxed some in the Marine Corps, though at a higher weight than this. I kept getting e-mails from old high school friends that I hadn’t heard from in years glad to hear it wasn’t me.

Sorry to bring a touch of the macabre, but that is what I found.

I also found that I am seeking a PhD in image processing and computer vision in France under the toutelage of Pr. Michel Barlaud.
