What's your weirdest habit?
A week or so ago, my coworker announced she is moving to Austrailia. Immediately after her discussion, I looked up online the venomous snake population in Brisbane. In fact, any time I or someone I know travels somewhere new, I'm compelled to find out what poisonous reptiles are indigenous to the area. What the fuck is wrong with me?

15. I know...
but I have also done the romantic mating dance of the kitchen implements and know the power of such. Of course it was 1978 and beer might have also played a part. Nonetheless, kitchen implements and romance are only for the strong.

4. Let me set the scene:
We live on a farm out in the boonies. OUr mailbox is on the road about 100 yards from the house. If, after getting the mail, I hear a car coming, I race to the house and go inside before they can see me.

19. I do the same thing!
I hate small talk so when I go out to the paper or the mail, it's like a scene from mission Impossible (cue the music). I peek through the blinds to see if any neighbors are outside. If the coast is clear, I make a mad dash for the mailbox and hope I don't get caught.

18. Weirdly fascinating.
And I'm not even Catholic.

But I do have three questions. Where would one get a doll / action figure / statuette like that? And, is there a story behind the oversized left hand / gauntlet? If so, what is that story?

20. I just loved that photo,
and didn't think about its origin, but, to try to answer your question, I give you this - http://toyriffic.blogspot.com/2009/04/nun-is-loneliest-number.html - and hope you get all the information you want.

You're very nicely twisted. Tangerine appreciates a good twist.

Enjoy...........................

16. No
It was a couple years ago, and she's not dead, so it worked out.
