I won the high jump at school once.... Nothing much in that I will conceed, but when I went onto the poduim to claim my plastic trophy, even though I was on the top podium the 2nd and 3rd placed guys actually stood taller that me.

Well, I call that one a win...
I'd also say- "So, white men CAN jump?", but I don't actually know... Are you a white male??

When I was in 8th grade I won a little class singing competion. Teacher even taped me singing it(a Garth Brooks song, lol!) I can sing in deeper ranges than most girls, but good luck catching me doing it ;)

Whew... As self-described representative of the redneck nation I'd like to say "That was a close one!!"

We don't wanna learn how ta jump...Most of our sports involve sitting down...Tractor pulls and Nascar racin' and demolition derbys... We occaisionlly take to hog wrestling but that's more a sport for the youn'uns Do we have a banjo playin emoticon?

Grenadian? Ain't that that cherry flavored syrup you put in alcohol? Just kiddin', I know where Grenada is.....I looked it up this morning!

Just FYI,I just read that Orange county zoo is suspending their elephant rides... As someone who rode one and felt guilty about it for years, I support this decision. It's a really, really stupid thing to make elephants go around in circles for hours carrying around spoiled kids. They are like tigers, and can snap anytime- and having your kid on it when it happens is not good... Not sure animal acts are much more ethical, but it may be the only way some species survive...

Oh don't worry. I've never let the issue of race get me worked up. In my time I've had all manner of discriptions. Most of them from old teachers who if they were to be judged by the way things are now, well let's say they'd probably be fired for their remarks. However I don't take it like that. It was the way back then. In fact I kind of prefered it. At least you knew where you stood. Now there is so much political correctness that a true racist can hide behind it.

Anyhoo. Yes Grenada. The Isle of Spice and true Paradise. Seriously if you can go to the Caribbean (and let's face it a few of your soldiers did back in 84) then you should try and go to Grenada. It's an amazing place!

Oh and I watch Nascar and play the Ukulele - not the Banjo mind but y'know getting there

A friend from high school got on Who Wants to be a Millionaire. In the entry round (whatever it's called) he got the correct order of some movie series, but the only other guy who got it right was 2 fractions of a second faster. It might have been the names of the Star Trek or Star Wars films.
He was the second smartest math student in our class.
I knew somebody who was on Price is Right, but now can't recall who it was.
