Who is "We" Suzianne? You with child or carrying a laptop mouse in your knapsack? As to my occasional use of 'maths', it's learned behavior. Several friendships with Blokes Residing in the UK seems to have trumped any ancestral genetic predisposition from Swedish Grandparents who relocated to the Boston Area. Thanks for asking. (gb)

I suppose I should jump in sense I started all this mess.

1. I'm not ugly.
2. I don't stink.
3. I'm not fat.
4. I'm not lazy.
5. And I lie like a Persian rug. 😛

I thought this was going to be things we didn't already know. 😕

Hadn't planned to comment again but might as well do so:

1. I crave Spicy Food, Blueberries and Citrus Fruits.
2. I recently discovered Kobe Beef at Publix Markets.
3. I'm eager for the 2013 NFL Season to begin.
4. I've always worked and played hard (often getting the two confused).
5. Sadly, I'm contemplating leaving Red Hot Pawn. (gb)

My...

1. First Car was a Two Door Ford Sedan (a "Chick Wagon" in my mind) lol.
2. First Serious Girl Friend on Cape Cod was Leslie from Media, PA,
a tall blond Regular on Dick Clark's "American Bandstand".
3. First Food Dislike was Asparagus in any form; now it's a favorite.
4. First Major Fortune 100 Corporation was Colgate Palmolive (AT&T, second).
5. Greatest and Only Fear is Blind Spots: Thinking you see something
clearly when, in fact, you don't really see the crux of it at all.

Bobby was being inter-cultural, and accepting dialectical/accentual modes of speech, and very kindly too!

Your single mode is agressive, unaccepting, and modular in outlook.

Shame on you Suzi! However, y'all like solo ways; livin' alone in da big kingdom of the ol' US of A. Goes as it dos baby.

All those for me too plus,

I also play music
- talk too much
- strangely agree with Rank Outsiders comments
- wonder why GB has given 15+ things so far
- would kill chess if it were a person.

Karoly, my killer instinct since joining Red Hot Pawn in 2007 has weakened, in comparison to what it may have been in my youth. RHP Profile Chess Performance Stats show a modest 53% Wins; 24% Draws and 23% Losses: Hardly a Hot Blooded Killer. Forums are another story, with an aggressive average of ten to eleven (10-11) posts per day over the past six years. Sorry for contributing Two (2) Posts too Many to Whodey's "Share 5 things about yourself" thread. (gb)

"False modesty: behaviour in which a person pretends to have a low opinion of their own abilities or achievements." (dictionary.cambridge.org)

Handy/Andy, most adult men have a healthy sense of self esteem; virtues and flaws; awareness of accomplishments and shortcomings. Perhaps your impartial objectivity understands others better than they understand themselves. (gb)
