5. I love dogs, and am not allergic to them(thus, we have a dog)
6. I don't have a single friend I've known more than 16 years(when you consider the fact that I'm 35, that's kind of sad)
7. I do not possess a "killer instinct"(you know, the one that enables you to go for the throat in a fight or an argument), thus keeping me out of practicing law(probably not a bad thing)- always too soft hearted on that part
8. Given the choice, I'd rather work at something than just sit around(unless I'm allowed to read, then I can sit with the best of them)
9. I'm not a great fisherman, I just enjoy the solitude or just the time with my kids

19. I LOVE SNOW SKIING
20. I love to run
21. I'd rather swim than run
22. I think soccer is the greatest team sport in the world(since Aaron doesn't read this blog anymore, odds are this won't go anywhere)
23. I take really good pictures
24. I can't drink more than 3 or 4 beers over the course of 3 hours(just can't, lose desire to taste it anymore....I've always thought this weird)

26. I think my younger brother is a better man than I am
27. I help out around the house(yes, I do dishes)

I'm impressed that you know the words to Alice's Restaurant.
I like to run at night. I'm not a true morning person.
I have a 2 beer limit, myself. I just get too full. I think that's a good thing.

22) I think American football is the ultimate team sport and baseball is the perfect sport. Do you know the origin of the word, "soccer"?
24) One reason I often drink beer instead of wine is that I am less likely to drink too much.
29) I think Hummers are obnoxious and pretensious.
45) I've decided to start calling it, "The War of Federal Aggression" because it was actually a war of the federal government against all the states. The federal government grew as a result at the expense of all the states. All the states lost that one.
50) "I wanna kill, Kill, KILL!"

Funny. For those that don't know, GumboFile and I go to church together and he is a hoot.
22 The origin of the word soccer came from 2 words- "Association Football" in England in the 1800s and was actually spelled "socca".
29 Hummers weren't made to be wallflowers, they were and are designed to get troops and equipment around on the battlefield through all types of conditions, therefore they only look "obnoxious" and "pretentious" to civilians ;)
45 You are so correct.
50 "You're our boy!"
