Reveal something totally unexpected about yourself - Shock and awe awaits - Don't powerlevel

I collect VHS tapes. I currently have over 600!

Do you have a working VCR? That would be incredible. I had a large VHS collection but threw it out when I moved four years ago. I have a pretty big DVD/Bluray collection now, but mostly stream these days.

I have hardcopies of classic tabletop RPGs from the early 90s, and still run them on occasion. The near future scifi games are especially funny with their predictions of tech we'd have around today. Sometimes they were overly optimistic, many times they underestimated how advanced we'd be.

One other thing: I once shot a man in Reno.

Why did you do this thing?

I dunno, I think I just wanted to watch him die or something.

If you added the total worth of my bicycles it would probably be more than my car is worth.

Well, you know you have it coming. You know you can't be free.

I had a car like that once.

I am completely terrified of birds. Small ones are fine but anything bigger than a raven freaks me out

Despite living in America, my parents drive a manual. Both of their cars used to be manuals, but when I was 15 they replaced the older one with an automatic so I could learn to drive on it. They always take the manual first so I've never bothered to learn how to drive a stick.

I was prescribed a lot of experimental antidepressants as a kid. Literally a guinea pig

I was a beta tester for original Gmail and still have the account.
The spam becomes more bizarre and incomprehensible every year and the addy is pretty much unusable at this point.

 

[Pina Colada]

I'm a vocabulary and grammar whiz (even won a spelling bee in middle school!) to the point where you could consider me a nazi, but I also often fuck up the pronunciations. On a side note, feel free to give me a ring if you need something proofread!

As a Britbong I have never understood why you burgers have such a hard on for automatic transmissions. They're less fuel efficient and hamper performance as well.

I'd better not say, it's pretty niche. But it's not Sonic so it's not automatically garbage haha

I once had a pet goldfish that lived to be 22 years old.

R.I.P., you magnificent fish.

I don't see the appeal with cars.

On Wednesday, however, I have to turn in my dear old ten speed semi for what I am am sadly confident will be a damned autoshift.

Yaay, slow as sin acceleration, shifting at the wrong times on hills, and backing like an asshole because you have to goose the accelerator to back, and slow with the service brake, vice just gliding back smoothly and feathering the clutch.

I am not happy, and moreso not happy because my boss expects me to be happy.

It's also just annoying because, like all new things, the controls on an autoshift are suggestions to the computer. On my old truck, if I push the accelerator, the throttle opens up. On autoshifts, it's like asking permission, the same way appliances no longer have an on / off switch, but a "of it please you milord Washing Machine, I should take it kindly if you powered down."

Before I gave up battletech because I found out some dirty things about jordan weisman the jew who was the head of that game, I made a big robit in the game and made it look like Jeb Bush and had him smash a mock up of Washington DC. They tried to stop him but... his guacamole bowl missile launchers were just too strong.
