When I'm inserting an endo-trachial tube into someone I always have to use the same laryngoscope.
Oh...wait...none of you knows what that means...unless, like me, your a paramedic. You might also know what I'm talking about if your a doctor or nurse. Hmmm...if anyone cares to actually find out what I'm talking about, PM me. It'll be fun, I have pictures.
Other than medical stuff I don't really have a lot. I always have to do a flip into the pool before my water polo games...I have a few other swimming/polo related ones that would be too hard to explain. I guess I'm a pretty normal guy, except for the laryngoscope thing.
I love it! So, do you save the best for last? And if so, which is the best?
Best first. The white ones are good if they are like almond etc, but I hate if they are coconut. I just hate most of the orange jelly beans. Sometimes there are exceptions, some brands have pretty good orange jelly beans but I still like them thet last.
When I was a kid (and as long as I ate cookies) I licked the cream first from the oreo-type cookies.
i hate television commercials before movies. can ruin an entire movie for me.
way i figure it, commercials pay for my free TV. i pay to see a movie, i don't want to have to sit through commercials (although previews are fine, at least they're on topic)
YES!
and it's getting worse too!, now there are those anti-piracy messages, hallacious amounts of coke ads, trivia, commercials...etc.
I would be cool with say, some short cartoons or a short film or something at the top of a the feature, but when I plunker down to see LoTR:RoTK it seriously detracts from my excitement when I have to watch that stupid pepsi/hot dog commercial!.
On the very rare occasion that I eat fast food (in this case, burger king) I almost always order the same thing. Two (or three, depending on how hungry I am) plain hamburgers (because I like to apply the ketchup myself), some fries, and a chocolate shake. I put the fries on my burgers in-between the patty and the top bun (because I don?t like the ketchup to touch the bun and make it soggy) then I dip the whole thing in a pool of ketchup.
Afterwards I eat the rest of the fries dipping them in the shake.
I am a packrat. If something is missing, it is in my room.
Also, with skittles, M&M's, mixed nuts, jellybeans, trail mix, and just about all bags of mixed stuff, I eat all but 1 of each kind of thing and save it. (I save 1 of each nut, color, or flavor)
When I eat hamburgers I eat around the middle first, so i eat away the outside edge, and then have just the middle to finish.
My friends who have noticed think its bizarre, but, the middle tastes the best to me, so I Save it For Later <--- good song btw
my son eats his donuts that way, and leaves the hole with just a bit of donut around it, however when he eats a hamburger he eats it 'til there is just a crescent left.
This is an idiosyncracy you'd probably have to be a software engineer to appreciate: I hate invisible trailing space being left in text. Such spaces don't hurt a thing really, and the extra disk capacity used storing extra spaces characters is trivial, but nonetheless, they annoy me and I compulsively delete them. Representing spaces as dots, I feel compelled to change this:
......a.=.b.*.2;..
......
......for.(i.=.0;.i.<.a;.++i).{
into
......a.=.b.*.2;
......for.(i.=.0;.i.<.a;.++i).{
A waste of time to bother with, but for some reason it appeals to some odd personal sense of aesthetics to have even the invisible parts of my code formatted neatly.
I also am a half germophobe. Nothing is worse then sticking your finger into gum stuck under somewhere...YUCK! I won't touch anything with that hand until I get it washed. It's not just gum its like that with a lot of things. Also unless I really need it, if I drop a pencil or pen on the floor at my school I'll normally just leave it or say some one can have it. I have the cheap bic mechanical pencils with the rubber grip and then they fall they get the dirt stuck to the white part...again YUCK.
Hi Ast3r3x -
I used to be pretty easy-going about germs until I saw like 10 minutes of an Oprah show a few years ago. They had sent people out to take swabs of items touched by the public to see how bad the germ situation was. It was appalling. I was pretty grossed out.
It turns out that grocery cart handles have lots of e-coli germs, because mothers often set their babies on the handle before putting them in the baby seat. So the not-so-clean-diaper germs get on the cart handle that we all touch.
I guess movie theater seats are pretty germy - you probably wouldn't want to wear shorts and sit on a movie theater seat.
So now, if I've just washed my hands at work, I open doors with the bottom of my untucked shirt, so I don't have to touch the door knob with my clean hand.
I'm also leery of salt and pepper shakers at restaurants. I imagine that they are covered with germs, and are probably never washed. So when I pick them up, I try to use a part of my hand that won't be touching the toast.
Having said all that, I once took five kids backpacking. We made jello by putting the lower half of the pan in a shallow part of the creek. Little tiny ants got into the jello. Not many ants...maybe ten or so. Well, these five boys wouldn't eat the jello, even with the ants picked out. So I, a mere female, showed them how tough and reckless I was (hahaha) by eating a spoonful of jello with two live ants in it. I think they were impressed.
Really, once a person has done a fair amount of backpacking, they can never really get too hysterical over a little dirt. One gets really close to the earth while backpacking, and dirt doesn't seem like the same kind of enemy as it does in a household.
I HATE when people leave those advertisement stickers on their stuff. I almost flip when I see people with the protective clear plastic sheet on their cell phones. I had to peel off my friends clear covering that was on his powerbook adapter... although maybe he should have let it on, it is all scratched and dirty now haha. But when people have the "600 WATTS!" on their stereo that has to go.
Where can I get this "Goo Gone"?
Best bet would be Ace Hardware, or any hardware store.

I love this - that you put the fries in to keep the ketchup from getting the bun soggy. That's classic.
I feel the same way about chimichangas. They make them all nice and crispy, but then pour sauce on them; so by the time they get to the table, the chimi's all soggy. I have them put the sauce in a dish on the side, so I can have my crisp chimi and dip each bite in the sauce myself.
Best bet would be Ace Hardware, or any hardware store.
Rubbing alcohol works surprisingly well too. Goo Gone can be found at most drug stores (Walgreens) and megastores (Target) in addition to hardware stores.

Some of the guys I work with decided to try eating Wendy's nuggets dipped in Frosty. Now it's common procedure. I still prefer slathering them in mayo, which is what I slather on everything fast-food anyway.
French Fries and mayo. . . the europeans got at least one thing right.
Anyway, I'm a pretty normal guy, aside from the fact that I have no sense of smell.

I can be pretty particular how I eat, and what.

My thing is using tabs instead of spaces.

Okay, Aqua, why not tell us about an idiosyncrasy you USED to have?!
Disclosure shouldn't bother you, now that you are rid of whatever it is... Right?
Yep,
I used to habitually fall for women with broken wings or women who looked like trouble.
Always a sucker for the sad story & I'd always end up shelling out for this & that to help them get their lives straightened out.
No more Mr Nice guy.
From now on it's double dutch or nothing.
