Let's try this out. I'll start by stating a fact about myself that might be unique to me on this board. If someone else has done it and wants to play, they say that they have and then they state another fact about themself that they believe to be unique. We continue until someone comes up with one that no one else has done. That person is King Shit around here.
I'll bet I'm the only one who....
voted for Al Sharpton in the 2004 Democratic Presidential Primaries.

...lived to age 8 without telling my parents that a long incisor was growing from the roof of my mouth. A dentist removed the tooth which sits in an envelope in my desk drawer.
-
Uh... I think we already have two King Shits to crown.
-
...puked from atop a ferris wheel when I was 10.

;D When I saw Andy's full premise, I didn't think this would last too long. But anyway...
...has such low water pressure that he gets up an hour and half early each morning to start the tub. Then goes back to sleep.
-
Obviously cutout bested all of us and anything posted after that will just be a letdown.
-
I bet I'm the only (girl) who wasn't allowed to wear skirts to elementary school. Am I the only one who was raised vegetarian?
-
...erases about a third of his posts within the first hour. (I don't know)
Not this one you won't! ;D
-
I just thought of another one, but I don't know what the right word is for someone who only eats meat.
also, i'll bet i'm the only one who likes cats.
-
I bet I'm the only one who...
-Merged onto the CA-2 freeway last night, after midnight, and watched his hood fly up, breaking his windshield.
I also like Al Sharpton. And I love cats.

I was!

HehHeh, I thought that too (back when I coulda been the one to prevent it!)

...has been awake since eight hours before the last 'Best Show' began (no, I'm not working--planning a move next Weds.). But I figured not being able to sleep all Tuesday night would result in (Hell, I tried to PLAN) an afternoon sleep, or a deep sleep Wednesday night. No Dice. And nothing but De-Caf yesterday (unless Folgers tricked me with their 'crystals').
I feel very alert right now, though a slight touch insane. Dumbass I am, I'm drinking regular coffee right now.
QUALIFIER: AND I'M NOT ON CRYSTAL METH, though I am worrying about crashing for three days.
If only I were being documented, I'm feeling I could beat Rockin' Ronnie right now. Time to watch the Pistons/Celts game now...
(May not hear from me for a few days)

Really happened last night, Emerson? (well, don't care if it was EXACTLY last night). Like to hear that story.
And 'Cutout,' I REALLY wanna know that story. Been pondering that all day.

After midnight, Pacific, so it was technically today.
I got in my car to drive home, and it wouldn't start. "Click, click, click." I'd had problems with the battery, so I popped the hood and noticed that it had jostled out of position. I moved it around, heard the "ding ding ding" telling me the door was open. I dropped the hood (as quietly as I could, since I was in a calm residential area) and drove off.
As I merged onto the freeway, I heard a sucking wind sound. The hood flew back, hitting the windshield and cracking it. I reached for the flashers (hitting the defroster instead). I sloooowly pulled to the shoulder, which didn't really exist here. As the car stopped, the battery died again, killing the lights. To get the hood to close again, I had to beat the bigger dents out with my fist. Meanwhile, other cars whizzed past, leaning on their horns.
I doubt this happened to you, and I'm glad. If you're interested in buying a '91 Corolla, hit me off list.
-
Jeez, glad you're okay, Emerson. That sounds scary as hell.
Here's mine:
....had a monkey leap through a window of an open-air restaurant in Africa and steal my breakfast toast.

I bet your right, but I bet everybody wishes that happened to them!
-
The worst was..."As I was merging." Ugh. It's really like myself and anyone I've ever talked to have had 'Near Death' driving experiences. I'll save mine for another day. As it certainly was not THIS MORNING! Yikes! Friggin' YIKES!
-

I was!
That's good to know, Emily! Growing up, I felt pretty lonely in my school lunchroom. Honestly, all I wanted when I was a kid was to have a ham and cheese sandwich on Wonderbread in my lunch...but now I'm pretty happy with the eating habits my parents instilled in me. Not the skirt thing, though. I get that my mom didn't think it was practical, but I'm a girl dammit! I just wanted to look pretty.

I'll bet I'm the only one who has to light their stove and oven with a lighter. Oh, this primitive apartment... Thank gyod there's no orange crates up in here.

only one who worea tux tonight.
-

I dunno, I spent a few years compulsively inspecting the tooth with my tongue, thinking everyone had one at the top of their mouth. Plus it was super sharp and impossible not to play with. I was shy back then so I never told my parents about it and I refused to visit the dentist so he never knew. I can't even remember how the word got out, but the surgery to remove it was, let's just say, kind of an experience.

Absolutely. I'm sure for me as a kid it would just be a funky little thing that I'd flip my tongue around--how the heck would I even think it was an anomaly? Just something that's there (in fact, now my tongue is completely obsessed with the intricacies of my gums!)

The funny thing is that I think he had a post in the same spot that he DID erase.
Or at least someone did. Maybe it wasn't Dorvid.

No, that was me.

I would like to hear the story of how you found out the horrible truth.

There you go. Bragging.

I am probably the only one who ever repeatedly turned down offers from Ernest Tubb to drink directly from his bottle of gin that he kept tucked down in his cowboy boot.

wasn't particularly storyable unfortunately. more like a gradual realization that came from actually seeing photos of it combined with a waning adherence to the notion of Manifest Destiny.

JEALOUS!!
except I wouldn't have turned him down, even though I hate gin.

I bet I'm the only one whose family had Ron Jeremy over for Christmas dinner when I was 9 years old (Laurie?).

fucked a chicken.

that last one was meant for fotchan. please disregard.

... who has a family member that was a bodyguard for Larry Flynt.

Little did you know, this was not Ron Jeremy's first visit to the Grote household. No... Ron Jeremy had been there 9 years and 9 months before...

A rude question more suitable for FOTchan could be posed here.
-
Haha. Where did you even get that pic?
My actual biological father (who I met at age 24) is only a little less embarrassing than Ron Jeremy:
(http://media.sfweekly.com/128734.0.jpeg)
The real story, which I've probably told here before (Josh?): my stepdad's crazy twin sister (aka my aunt) was dating Ron from like 1979-81, after he had started his porn career but before he was really famous. There were many weird conversations about this that I was shut out of, but only partially.
A few years after this, I was with a bunch of other 15-year-old boys, one of whom had raided his dad's porn collection, and lo and behold, Ron comes onscreen and we all have the same reaction that everyone does when they first see him in flagrante delicto, and I'm sitting there thinking, "this guy is a friend of the family or something." I have the good sense to keep my mouth shut, lest this follow me through the rest of high school, plus I wasn't entirely sure. Then about 5 years ago, now that Uncle Ron is a "legitimate" celeb and my siblings are all pretty much grown, my mom tells us all the story, finally confirming it.

Hahaha, that's great. And that pic comes up first in google image search - you're pretty famous! (A hilarious pencil sketch of you also pops up)

By none other than the brilliant Neil Numberman of Best Show Poster fame!
Thanks, but I'm more "internet famous" than famous. It's like Andy Breckman says: they said this town would eat me alive, but I'm on the world wide web, baby!!

...owns a piece of the house Muddy Waters grew up in.
...got a friend who once KO'd Eric Burdon.
-
... sent Facebook friend requests to several members of the 2008-2009 Georgetown Hoyas basketball team. Two have accepted!
So the next time I get a little emotional with my status update (yes, I'm that guy), I can take comfort in knowing that DaJuan Summers and Chris Wright won't judge me too harshly.
They like me! They have my back.

I don't know who said it first, but "on the Internet, everyone is famous to 15 people."

Haha. Great quote, Yesno.

my old stove's pilot light never worked... so i used to do the same thing. but instead of a lighter i used a welder's torch striker, a little safer but not by much.

i broke a piece of the berlin wall.
this happened in third grade. a classmate brought a chunk of the berlin wall for show and tell. it was being passed around the room. when it was handed to me somebody whispered "try and break it". it was concrete, in my third grade mind that meant that it was indestructible. it wasn't. i snapped it in two and then handed the two pieces to the next kid. he got in trouble.

I had a friend book me for a DJ gig in Italy without telling me. I am not a DJ at all, and have never wanted to be one. So I mostly played Rephlex-style electronic music and American hip-hop of the day from my iBook, and they loved it.

I know how to perform on a trapeze. If I'm not the only one, then let's get an act together!

...saw Bill Clinton's bottom.
I think we need more information on this one.
-
Well , it wasn't exposed. :( So the story loses some points right away, I guess.
But...
I was on vacation with my family on Martha's Vineyard around 1993. President Clinton was on vacation there as well. The whole vacation, we would go to a location on the island, and a crowd of people would be all aflutter, and when asked they would say "You just missed the President!" On the last day, feeling a little sad that we didn't get a Presidential sighting (don't judge!), we're driving down the street and we see black SUV's driving on the bike path next to us. Obviously, something's going down...
After about a mile of this, we see through a break in the trees that the SUV's have stopped. We pull the car over, cross the street to where the SUV's are, and see a bunch of secret service guys in running gear. One man is in the middle of them, but we cannot see his face, because he is grabbing his ankles, stretching. He is also facing away from us. So essentially, he is mooning us.
When he finally stood upright, he turned around and - surprise surprise - bet you didn't see this coming - it was Bill Clinton. He shook the hands of some locals and ran on.
Did I tell you about the time Paul Wolfowitz snorted all my coke behind the Rainbow Bar and Grille in L.A? Alright, that one isn't as good as it sounds either.
