I also have this insane fear of Nicolas Cage

Chase has been using my name on their credit card ads for years. When I discovered it, I thought it was an elaborate prank my co-workers were playing on me and I freaked out at the poor girl who was working behind the register at the store.

I have taken pictures of myself in other people's bathroom mirrors for the past 6 years : http://www.flickr.com/photos/omghidanielle/sets/72157606147104301/

Props to the Wolf on the habanero peppers!

Here is another strange one:

I'm a 5'6" fat guy who loves to play volleyball. In fact, though I could almost never spike a b all back in my prime, I could SERVE like nobody's business. In fact, I played in a casual adult league where I was told I had to "Serve softer".....

When I wouldn't - I am WAY too competitive - I was kicked out of the league.

And, finally, when I was younger I tried out for Junior Olympics in wrestling. I was also a nationally ranked "horseshoes" player. I also played "professional" softball in the 1980's. I made about $450 a season.
