  • Can name all Three Stooges

  • Lives within a 20-minute drive of a Wal-Mart

  • Eats at McDonald’s at least once a year

  • Takes a shower for approximately 10.4 minutes a day (mine are shorter -- 3 to 5 minutes, except for an occasional 10 minute shower on a Saturday)

  • Never sings in the shower

  • Lives in a house, not an apartment or condominium

  • Has a home valued between $100,000 and $300,000

  • Has fired a gun

  • Weighs 135 to 205 pounds

  • Is between the ages of 18 and 53

  • Believes gambling is an acceptable entertainment option

  • Grew up within 50 miles of current home

    • Via Caltech Girl. Go wish her a happy first blog-day.

    Smooth peanut butter? Heresy.

    Larry Fine, Moe Howard, Curly Howard, Shemp Howard, and "Curly Joe" Besser

    I could name all five, but seeing as caltechgirl already did that in the source post, I felt it would be a bit derivative.

    I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, unless it's smooth with honey (no jelly or jam for me). Even then it's only an occasional meal now, as I had way too much in poorer and younger days.

    That was kind of interesting. I still like peanut butter. In fact, most days I have a spoonful before heading off to the gym in the mornings.

    You missed a Stooge: Joe Besser came between Curly and Curly Joe (hence the latter's name, not unlike Pope John Paul...) -- don't feel bad, I always forget him meself...

    ...and Curly Joe's last name was DeRita...

    ...and apologies to Colossus -- I knew that Pope reference sounded familiar...
