Just in case anyone is not aware yet what this thread is all about...

This thread is for people to either offer, or be nominated by another member to go into The HOT Seat, so we can possibly find out more about our friends here. Once in that 'hot seat' so to speak, the idea is for other members to ask that person questions about their life and interests in general.
Perhaps where they live, do they have pets, do they like a drink, do they go on holidays much, and if so where?
I don't really know, as that is for you to decide.
The person will be in the 'Hot Seat' for around 2 days (around 48 hours) answering questions as and when they can.
That's the general thinking anyway.
Please feel free to offer either yourself, or nominate another forum member, who may or may not want to do this of course.
I think that you will all agree that our VickyNightowl, Ameriscot and Ina did a rather sterling job in answering their particular questions.
I for one feel that I know a lot about them than I did before, which gives me a warm glow.
So now sitting in The Hot Seat is Sifuphil, and I must thank her for that.
Sifuphil will be there until around Wednesday/Thursday when I will ask the next person when they would like to start.

Philly can you share your most risque encounter with the opposite sex.....or the same sex if you're so inclined.
 

Right, I think we will agree that most of us are creatures of habit, so...
I have been up around half an hour, and I have a certain routine to start the day.
After crawling out of your pit Sifuphil, what do you normally do during that vital first half hour or so.
Once one has woken up that is! :D

Oh, boy, you guys aren't going to pull any punches, are you?

Hmmm ... let me think ...

Well, for many years I was a bouncer in "Adult Entertainment" venues - strip clubs, to be honest - and bouncers tend to make the friendship of the dancers. I guess they're seen as protectors, sometimes as father figures, but always as "safe" guys to play with.

Anyway, two of the dancers and I went out to breakfast after work one morning (bars closed at 2am), figured we were bored and went to Atlantic City. Watched the sunrise on the boardwalk, lost a little money on blackjack and spent the weekend at Harrah's Resort munching salt-water toffee (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).

Quite a memorable experience.

Well, certainly the first thing is to heed Mother Nature's call.

COFFEE! MUST HAVE COFFEE! I have my coffeepot set to automatically come on, so I don't waste those precious few minutes walking around like a zombie.

I feed Mao (the cat) and engage in the ritual "chase the dot" game with him using my laser pen. He gets upset if we don't play first thing in the morning.

I'll take a shower if it's July.

Then onto the Internet - I live here on the 'Net for both work and play.

Oh, yeah - might eat something for breakfast; might not. Depends how I feel. And pills - unfortunately I take several prescriptions, so down the hatch they go. Bleh!

What is the most bizarre job you have ever held?

Oh, wow ...

When I lived in California I worked for a time as a safety inspector for what was euphemistically called a "secondary lead refinery".

I called it Hell.

City of Industry was the name of the town this place was in, and their goal was to take in old car batteries and lead pipes, smelt them down, purify them and re-sell the "new" lead.

Blast furnaces made up most of the landscape, and being lead (a toxic metal) most of the workers had to wear safety equipment.

Enter Philly, the Angel of Protection, floating around making sure everyone wore their gear - jumpsuits, respirators, RACAL air supplies, safety shoes, etc. Also had to make reports to OSHA and EPA and other fun paper work, and serve as guide when their reps came calling.

Myself, since I was always in the plant, had to wear a heavy jumpsuit, a RACAL air supply, big ol' metal boots, goggles - I looked like I was getting ready to walk on the moon. All this in often 100+ degree temperatures - in the shade. Walk around those blast furnaces dressed like that all day and things happen.

Like, heat stroke and weight loss. Before I left the job it was usual for me to lose a couple pounds a day of water weight - when I finally left I was 165 pounds, way below my normal weight. I looked like Mr. Bones.

No hot strippers but after returning from Nam I bounced at a tuff little redneck bar out in the sticks for almost two years, hell even the gals chewed Redman.

There were a couple snaggle tooth, bib overall wearing local hillbilly's (Zeke and Billy Bob) that started eyeing me like I was a pork chop while humming the theme song to Deliverance.

I quickly sought and found more gainful employment. :)

Do you believe time travel is possible?

Ooh ... I certainly HOPE it is.

I've read some articles that try to explain why it's possible only in reverse = going back in time. The explanations were WAY over my head, but their conclusions said forward is impossible but backward is possible.

Hey, they say that astronauts "gain" a little time by being in space. Not sure how that works either but they're proven it somehow.

LMAO@"even the gals chewed Redman"!

Now THAT was a tough bouncing job! Glad you found a better position. I bounced in NYC for a while - those people were CRAZY. Bouncing here in PA seems like child play compared to that, but I doubt I would have lasted very long in the sticks like YOU did.
 
When did you first take an interest in girls or boys for reasons other than just friendship?
 
I think it was in 6th grade (12 years old).

Donna Raguso had always been my crush through elementary school, and one day she invited me over to her house after school to watch Love American Style.

We watched it for a week or so, but then found other interests. Nothing major, but Intro to Girls 1 kind of stuff.

I've never been real big on travel, at least international travel.

I was in Beijing, China for several weeks taking advanced T'ai-Chi classes back in 1979, but that's about the extent of my international travels, not counting Canada and Mexico - day trips only, or a few days at most as a tourist.

If my life had turned out differently I might have liked to see a lot of places - England and Australia are two - but it just never worked out that way.

Never served, though I have the greatest respect to those that did. I fell in-between wars, so no draft, and my number never came up.

Looking back, I wish I had enlisted instead of chasing useless college degrees.
