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!!!

I liked forensic science so much that I majored in it while at uni with no intent of actully going into that profession.
When it came time to do the "pig dig" for one of my classes I ( and the rest of the class) were very dissapointed that there were only bones to dig up and not an actual body.
My dream job would be to work on a body farm or as a pathologists assistant.
I love to read Patricia Cornwell.

Some other sad obsessions/revelations
I collect comic books and love cartoons especially the ones from DC
Yes I am a twenty something girl

ok... it goes no further than this thread, but I tap my feet to TLC tracks and love singing along to "Zombie" by The Cranberries.

Ha, this is a Sleuth related confession: I created several detectives to find out, on a trial and error basis, who the murderer in the "Unread will" scripted mystery was. Then I created a new detective (the one I actually wanted to play with) and solved the mystery with zero Xp, and I got 4 skill points for that! I know I should feel guilty about that, but, hey, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who did this.

I love to watch and sing along to musicals and Disney Movies

I agree with Lacrymosa, I absolutely love musicals and Disney movies.

I can't imagine visiting London without going to the theatre (first time was the Phantom of the Opera - combining 1 and 2).

I love nice shoes, buying and wearing, but I blame this on my xx chromosomes.

I sometimes sneak in here when I should be working.

I once ran a red light on purpose, knowing the consequences of getting caught, but it was 2 in the morning on a Thursday and I simply didn't feel like waiting.
And got away with it.

Handed in quite a number of reports morning after the deadline, counting on reaching the building earlier than the respective professor.

When asked about my friends' car's, I usually reply with: "It's green/white/black/silver etc."

I use trains and planes to sleep.
