Sleuth Home - Message Boards - The Gumshoe Lounge

Sooo...the mighty gumshoe board feels a bit slow today. *Bob the Builder voice* Can we fix it? Yes we can!

Got a skeleton pounding on your closet? A secret in the attic? A monkey (no, not precious Bobo...and not the raging back hair you try to pass off as a Bonobo backpack either) on your back?

Let it all out, boo.

K, I'll start with a few (true) examples.

When I was 16, I robbed the house belonging to to heir of a pickle dynasty.

I used to steal Volkswagen signs to be more like one of the Beastie Boys.

I have bought more than one kind of deodorant in the same day, on the advice of a friend.

I salivate a little whenever I walk by a hot dog vendor.

I totally car-megeddoned a pigeon last month.

Sometimes, I find Bob Sagat funny.

I'm Canadian and I really don't care about hockey.

Plus, I covet my neighbor's ox every day.

Speak!!!

Well then.....

I wrote a "love making" scene after some inspiration from a friend. Then I composed a piece of music for it.

I consider eating junk food and watching cartoons a hobby

I enjoy watching Looney Toons

I can recite certain scenes from Spongebob SquarePants episodes word for word.

I bought a journal so I can write short stories in it.

I've failed open book tests quite a few times.

Hmmm I can think of a few :)

I've eaten horse treats before. (Yes it was a dare)

I started drinking with my friends at the age of 12, though I drank so much when I was younger that I rarely drink at all now.

I get a tad jealous when anyone gets engaged before me :)

I own more bags than clothes.

I love watching cartoons.

I have watched Friends so many times I can recite all the lines as I am watching them.

Talia I love the idea of a pool in a college dorm sounds like a lot of fun :D

I'm not as naive as I let people think. ;)

I've eaten things with the sole purpose of freaking people out, including pickles, calamari, mealworms, crickets, waxworms, cat food, and venison.

I couldn't ride a bike until I was in 3rd grade, and that only because my class went on a Bike Hike, and I wanted to go, too. I was very proud when I only fell down 23 times. :)

Like Riza, I really like someone who plays this game, but I don't like the same person she does. ;)

I own more purses than shoes.

I'm not really a big fan of TV... I'd rather read books.

The first (and only) movie I did NOT cry at was A Walk to Remember... because I had finished the book an hour before I saw the movie and had absolutely no tears left.

I love calamari. Does that count? :)


It's probably time I got this off my chest.

I talk to my suspects during my cases.

It ranges all the way from 'Nooo, you *can't* say you were with the sodding Librarian as well!' to 'Thank you, that was the perfect answer, you wonderful man, have a cigar'. With stuff in between.

*wonders if that rings any bells with anyone else round here or whether it's just her...*

I have quite an intense Octopus phobia.

I am 27, Nickelodeon is my favorite channel and I miss “Are You Afraid of the Dark”!

I have watched the movie “The Burbs” over 300 times and can recite every line from it.

I rip the cotton part of Q-Tips off to dig in my ears. (They get very itchy!)

I am obsessed with anything dealing with the paranormal.

I HATE romantic gestures and PDA grosses me out.

Oh, and when I was younger, I sprayed almost a whole can of Pledge into my brothers eyes.

*twirls a can of Pledge and puts it back in her holster*

Intrigued - PDA? Googling it didn't seem to bring up anything that would fit that statement! :)

public displays of affection I suspect Cordy

Apr-11-2010 09:50

You are correct SS. I think it's nasty to watch others make-out, yet I love watching those VH1 dating shows. Hmmm....

Apr-11-2010 10:40

Cordy, I'm with you. I, too, talk to my suspects.

Thankfully, no one else is in the house when I do that...

Thanks Ani for making feel slightly less barking... :)

And ta SS for the translation!
