128) Weird Things Vol 2

More weird things:
  • I have hundreds of barware glasses for any type of drink you can imagine.  This includes:  wine glasses (6 different kinds including bordeaux and burgundy), whiskey glasses (3-4 different kinds), collins glasses, champagne flutes, tumblers, snifters, beer mugs, pints, pilsners, margarita glasses, martini glasses, highballs, shot glasses, pony glasses (small beer glasses).  I only drink out of 4 of them:  my favorite wine glass, my scotch glass, my crystal whiskey glass for mixed drinks and my beer mug.  
  • I also have 8-10 decanters.  Way too many, though most of them are really cool.
  • I have moisture absorption issues with my hands.  When I do dishes or take a shower, I get prune hands to such a degree that Simon would roll over in his bathtub...
  • I went to Baylor University, and though I had a good experience, I might have issues recommending it to my children.  
  • However, if my kid shows interest in A&M I might have to downright refuse to fund his education...those fools be crazy!
  • I think I missed out on part of the American adolescent experience because I have never made out with a girl in a movie theater.  The closest I got was kissing a girl in 8th grade while watching Little Man Tate.  We kissed, and then watched the movie.  It was a good movie...
  • I have trouble understanding why some people do not like sour cream.  It is so delicious and is necessary for so many meals. 
  • Ever since my mom got a phone with texting (a couple of months ago) I receive a text from her 4 mornings each week.  And I actually like receiving them...
  • A girl I barely knew in high school referred to me as the "Dude who loves Polos" when our mutual friend brought me up in a conversation recently.  She's right.  I love them!  I guess that's better than "the Dude who loves excess barware?"
  • Though I have never made out in a movie theater, I have had sex in the backseat of a car.  That's a piece of the American Experience I DID NOT miss out on...
  • When I play golf I start to get cranky by hole 13, usually because I am hungry.  And I really suck at putting.
  • My wife spells out words so the dog does not know what we are talking about.  These include: squirrel, hungry, bone, treat.  I usually just say the word and get reprimanded for confusing/upsetting the dog.

The Baylor thing worked out okay for me too, which is IN NO WAY an endorsement.

I'm jealous that your mom texts.
