Not a big fan of the Wal-Mart circular?

Oh the irony. I used that gawdawful happy smily face symbol in a post about Wal-Mart.

It's the seventh sign.

Hmmmm

1) Was in a movie with Tom Cruise

(Sorta. I was at the Daytona 500 when they filmed the crowd shots for Days of Thunder. But we're both in it. Though I wouldn't advice anyone watch it to see it. Or for any other reason)

2) I've had nearly 20 concussions. From normal things like a car accident and Tae Kwon Do sparring to being run over by a golf cart and having a gazebo and garage door fall on me (not at the same time, thankfully). No amnesia due to that, though, just a lot of passing out.

3) I've been bitten by a shark. (Thankfully it was a little shark)

4) I got a pedophile (or at least someone in their 40s who had a penchant for young teenage girls) fired from the Microsoft Network

5) Slept with Paula Abdul after losing on American Idol

(That last one is a joke, I couldn't think of any more)

What's the issue DMCal? I'm curious why the hatred...

I don't hate Walmart circulars...much. I live in the heart of Waltonland and am at one of the cathedrals at least once a week. I am not able to get to my PO box very often, so when I do get to check it, it's crammed full of Walmart circulars. Sometimes to the point I've had notes from the postmaster of my local station telling me to get the rest of my mail from the front desk.

So I don't really hate them. They're just dang inconvenient.

5) Slept with Paula Abdul after losing on American Idol

So you've been to the Kingdom of Calloway, too, eh?

I went to kindergarten there.

1) Was in a movie with Tom Cruise

Heh. A pretty good friend of mine was cut from his "starring role" in Patriot Games where he was an extra on campus who bumped into Harrison Ford. Apparently, he was not directed to bump into him, just walk by, but he thought the bump was a nice touch. Mighta been, if there weren't many, many takes. Harrison was apparently radiating quite the "pissed off" vibe before they were done. He wonders if that's why the scene was cut.

4) I got a pedophile (or at least someone in their 40s who had a penchant for young teenage girls) fired from the Microsoft Network

I got hit on by a pedophile (I suspect) when I was about 12. He was trying to lure me into his car to "go to the arcade and play some video games." Although I knew better than to get into the car with him, and kept walking, it didn't occur to me what he was probably after until much later.

 

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

1. Had lunch with Clive Barker
2. Was yelled at on the phone by Harlan Ellison (ok, so maybe I'm not alone there...)
3. Got married at the home of President James Monroe
4. Attended the 1999 Hugo Losers Party as the guest of one of the losers
5. Drank a beer with Levon Helm (of The Band)
5a. Drank a beer with Jerry Cantrell (of Alice In Chains)

 

[Dagger75]

1. Got fired from a job for sleeping on the job.... under my desk.
2. Pushed my friend out of the way of Warwick Davis so he wouldn't step on him.
3. Had an MRI done when you had to stay in the machine for HOURS because thats how fast the computers were. I was in there for 6 hours. I was 6 or 7 at the time.
4. Waited in the wrong line at school for 2 hours only to be told it was another line. Waited in that line for 2 1/2 hours.
