I've been off the boards lately so I'm just joining in. Welcome!
The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin?
My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. She travelled with a circus where she met my father who had a penchant to womanize carnies due to his obsession with tattoos and body piercings or any other thing that was out of the ordinary. He would drink and when he drank he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark or that man was altering the climate. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy and he scorned and cursed herd bulls due to his envy of their lifestyle. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was
typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets from bull sacs. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds or shocked with a Hot-Shot - pretty typical childhood really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly recommend it.
My childhood molded me into the person I am today. I too have A.D.D and am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row and once swam five miles just to see if I could do it without drowning. Which by the way, I didn't drown.
I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing or my juice harp melodies. I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty Minute Brownies in twenty minutes sometimes even using herbs that are frowned upon in the more civilized countries but I'm not one to get bogged down by frivolous laws. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru and Venezuala. I also know where Jimmy Hoffa resides.
Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets. I am the subject of numerous documentaries. The Sierra Club has written of me. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard and have constructed tram lines between
buildings in Atlanta. I enjoy urban hang gliding and base jumping from federal monuments and buildings. On Wednesdays, after work, I repair electrical appliances free of charge and will sometimes even overhaul anvils for distraught blacksmiths.
I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. The Canadians think of me as a god. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat .400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me. Dogs love me. Cattle respect me.
I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost,
Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in Walmart. I have performed covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair facing north - just in case. While on a pilgramage in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.
I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago while chasing the dragon I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down - my scribe was still passed out on her hemp cot. I have made extraordinary four-course meals using only a Mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams with some of the top EPD's in the world. I have cattle. The Imbalancer - my own breed - whose genetic code will soon be patented. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart
surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis after his alledged death on the proper technique of making a fried peanut butter and bannana sandwich. I love to cook BBQ and believe if the muslims and jews would just sit down to a BBQ dinner world peace would be achieved. I don't drink but merely sip for long hours and believe the angels dance around my glass. Cheers!
Ok, enough about me, now do tell your story.
