Tell us something true about yourself , that we don't already know or wouldn't have guessed

I went to a real one in Mexico City once, and didn't like it much either. I was sitting in the cheap seats way up high, that helped, and I did enjoy watching the Mexicans around me, a very rambunctious bunch. Never did understand exactly what it is they were clapping and booing about though.

The "bull" I fought didn't get the torture treatment, just made a few passes and went back to the stables until the next inebriated gringo volunteer came along.

I've been to a few Bullrings in Spain.. but just to visit the bullring on non fight days... I wouldn't like to watch a live bullfight..

I am sure, but you have to know the right speed, and keep pretty good balance I would imagine. And be fearless!

You must have pictures, I think people here would appreciate seeing some.

Jumping the bus was easy. Landing is the hard part. As far as the barrel you get a feel for the speed. Once you build up enough to climb the wall the bike uses centrifugal force to keep it in place. I had to learn to keep my eyes on the front wheel with an occasional glance up or down to keep from getting dizzy. You would have to ask my X about the pics and video. She told me she burned them. She also shot my stunt bike full of bullet holes. I think she was jealous....o_O

Whenever I try to eat food with very much flavor--especially acidic--I get a feeling that's sort of a cross between an electric shock and a muscle spasm right in front of the Tragus part (that kind of flap near the bottom) of both ears.

Funny you would mention that. I get a similar feeling with spicy food, it's like a strong tinny taste/feeling that starts on the far back sides of my tounge and radiates into the fleshy area just below my ear lobes. I always thought it had something to do with taste buds but read it's caused by adrenaline. Your body reacts to the spicy food as a stimulant and it causes a quick rush of adrenaline.

This isn't a secret but it is something that no one here knows about me or would have guessed, ( that's the biggie ), but I can play the spoons. Not competitively, but I am pretty good I'm told. :giggle:

Have you ever seen the "spoon lady" on Youtube? If not you should, quite entertaining. Also quite a character, to look at her you would assume she's simple hill folks, but I watched an interview and she's well spoken and intelligent.

Wait, are YOU the spoon lady?

Fascinating, I've not heard about this.
Can I deduce from this that if a person (me) feels this sensation it must indicate I still can have an adrenaline rush?!?
Now, that's what I like to hear! ;)

You deed to conduct an experiment to find that answer. Try eating a mouthful of spice and see if you can jump over a Greyhound bus like Oldpop did, except you won't be using a motorcycle. If you're successful I say that proves the adrenaline rush theroy, if you fail I declare the experiment inconclusive.

Then once your bones and bruises heal you need to try again. I believe it takes three failures to conclusively disprove a theory.
 
I was born being tongue-tied at birth. The doctor had to clip something to free my tongue’s range of motion. I was never really all that interested in just what it is or how it was corrected. All I know is that I can talk as well as anyone else. When I was 7 years old, my mom told me that when I started to talk I stuttered and that’s how it was discovered. Mon told me that Dad took me to the doctor’s office on the day my tongue-tied was discovered and he asked the doctor why does my son stutter so much. The doctor checked inside my mouth and that’s when they found that my tongue wasn’t able to function properly. Dad said the doctor took care of it right in his office and never charged for doing the job.
 
When I was 4 or 5 years old, stupid doctors caused my mom lots of unnecessary stress & worry. I was much shorter than normal height & my mom took me to doctors who told her, "Just be lucky if he reaches over 4.5 ft. in height."
She started overfeeding me, thinking that would make me grow faster. It only made me grow fatter.
I'm the tallest in my family; by age 18, I was 6 ft.
 
That's a tough one cause i'm an open book, have shared so much about my childhood and youth on this forum in just 13 months as a member.

An odd fact is that tho i love to dance, (in 20s was often out dancing) only the last of my 3 husbands even attempted to dance. i suppose because it was a 'me' thing i didn't expect a partner to love it as much me, just as i never required them to have same taste in books or movies. Heck only #1 DH was even a reader.

On a related note, at one time (at about age 19-20 yrs) i could limbo under a very low bar--15-18 inches, which is nowhere as good as those who've been doing their whole lives can, but a personal best for me.
