I have webbed toes on one foot, and my brother has a gill. Well, not really a gill, but he has what looks like a freckle on his neck, but if he has a cold, he plug his nose and make snot dribble out. Its connected to his sinuses...next kid would have been a frog or something.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Hmmm, I wonder if frog-brother's VX would have been a Dragon.
With my family tree, I'm lucky I don't have both eyes on one side of my head like a flounder. My hair started turning gray when I was 12, I have mandibular tori and a whole extra vertebra. The upside is that I'm slightly taller than I should have been, but my back hurts one-vertebra-more when it goes out.

I'm pretty damn boring. Best I got is a weight loss story. Went from 235 to 160 over one summer, and now back to a healthy 175ish.![]()
I did it the wrong way. Starvation and a full length mirror!
Can't remember exactly, but I started running regularly, pretended to workout at the gym and literally starved myself until the weight was gone. Since then I've been in stuck in a rubber band syndrome, where I'll pack on heavy fat and then cut it all out again. It's not by choice, I just get really bad lazy streaks and depressed cause I'm being lazy and fat and that makes it harder to break out of the mess!
I eat because I'm unhappy, and I'm unhappy because I eat... It's a vicious cycle...
Just to continue the Austin Powers theme
Now though I'm a tryathlete (emphasis on the try part!), and there is enough variety in the workouts for at triathlon to have kept me interested for a while now. I get bored with "daily grind" workouts and give up on them usually!
Umm... genetics has a HUGE amount to do with what kind of shape a person can get into.
I once bought an SVO mustang to rebuild and sell for profit 2 years ago, and now it's in worse shape than when I bought it, I've spent more money on upgrades than the original purchase price and still have a few thousand to go. By the time I'm done with it I'll have spent a few thousand more on it than it's worth if it were in mint condition...
and even worse, I don't want to sell it any more!
Hmmm interesting stuff here.... I am the youngest of three and am always up for an adventure. I am heavily tattooed (kind of addicted to them) but work in a professional environment and nobody is the wiser. I have to laugh when the conversation of body art comes up. I have ridden my motorcycle in 40 of the lower 48 states and hope to get the rest in the next couple years. I was recruited by Bear Bryant to play football for him but actually turned him down to get married and would have played on his last national championship team. Have been a model and done commercials and all that fun stuff. Got back into football and played semi-pro for several years. Now the old body is suffering for it I've had surgeries on my shoulder, knees, ankle, right elbow and next month the left elbow gets redone. I have a wonderful wife who supports my vehicle habit and actually will crawl under the car and turn wrenches with me, good times! Well, better get busy on my VX as it has to be done by Thanksgiving week so I can have a car to drive..... every thing else I have is a manual trans.![]()
