Number 1, I learned enough only to keep from drowning provided I'm not too far from shore :p
Well, with only one choice remaining and the winner already decided, no point in waiting further. So, counting down:
5. Yep, I've flown a few times, but not since I was a teenager. Once I'd tried a cross-country train to California, I was hooked, and I haven't flown since.
4. Once--a tonsillectomy at age 3. Very minor, but it still involves parts being removed with a sharp instrument, so it counts.
3. Not too long back I spent a couple of years being taught classical guitar by an uncle. I'd like to get back to that at some point.
2. As a child I went to the local YMCA for "gym & swim" classes, and had gone through the top swimming level (porpoise) twice by the time I was done. So, quite a good swimmer at one time.
1. (Winner, Pendragon!--though why were you talking about swimming?)
I have never learned to drive for several reasons: At the time most of my peers were learning, I had other things I preferred doing, like playing around on the computers after school (Radio Shack TRS-80s at the time). Since then, it has been due to a combination of the growing arrogance and stupidity I see from other drivers on the street (including many more distractions then when I was a child, like cell phones, MP3 players, etc.); my own easily distracted nature--I tend to take in all my surroundings rather than focus on one thing, like the road in front; the hideous expense of owning a car, fueling it, insurance, etc.; and the extensive local public transportation system that makes driving pretty much unnecessary. Yes, there are times a car would be useful, but I get by fine without one. I do have a dream car in mind, though, just in case.
Congratulations, Pendragon, you're up.
Hummmm...
1) I am a fan of the "MacGuyver" tv series
2) I am a fan of the "Charmed" tv series
3) I am a fan of the "CSI Miami" tv series
4) I am a fan of the "Torchwood" tv series
5) I am a fan of the "The Closer" tv series
Good luck!
I've only heard of the first three. I don't think you'd like Charmed. I know that you like mysteries, but I'd think your standards would be higher than CSI: Miami could offer. McGyver would be my choice, however, you've spelled it incorrectly, so either you are revealing that it's the incorrect choice by default, or you are not a fan of it, (because a fan would know how to spell it).
So, as I see it, my only options are the last two, neither of which I know anything about. But Torchwood sounds like it comes from the fantasy genre and since you have named yourself the equivalent to 'dragon chief', I can infer that you like fantasy. So I have arrived at a decision:
Number Four, Torchwood.
Torchwood is actually a Doctor Who spinoff (note that the name's an anagram). It's good but very different, being Earth-bound, team-based, and much more adult.
I saw one episode of The Closer, and it was pretty good, so I'll pick that.
No, can't stand it, and my misspelling of McGyver is a result of being slightly dyslectic...Quote:

The other one (I've lost track).
1: Right! always go with your gut feeling, Matt, even if I cannot spell. I just bought all seven seasons on DVD.Quote:

3:Blech! Cannot stand this at all!
4: I really cannot stand Captain Jack and it has nothing to do with his bi-sexuality. The Doctor's living arm in that jar is also a no-no
5: The actress creeps me out.
You're up, Matthew, and would have been earlier had you followed your highly toned instincts!
Matthew's turn!
Matt, the point of winning is to continue the game. Please? Pretty please? With sugar on top? Steak dinner? Cash? Credit Card? PayPal? :lol::lol::lol:
Where did I live? Meaning I moved all of my possessions there and payed rent.
1. In a haunted house.
2. In a grain silo.
3. Above a theatre.
4. Above a merry-go-round.
5. In a Swiss ski lodge.
I like number one. I lived in a haunted house myself. Wasn't too bad, we just shut off the room where the disturbances were, and it left us alone. Now am I kidding or not kidding? You choose, oh reader!
Number one, then Matt
Small theaters can have apartments or offices on top, so I'll take #3.
Step right up! 3 more competitors required.
Number 5.
I'm going to disappear for a while, so I thought that I ought to leave the answer here so that the game can continue.
DO NOT CLICK UNTIL ALL ANSWERS HAVE BEEN CHOSEN!
My uncle actually lived there and when I moved to California I lived with him for about two months. (We split the rent).
Well, I'll restart it then. It was number four: I lived in a merry-go-round.
I prefer to use:
1. Binder clips
2. Paper clips
3. Staples
to keep papers together.
I'll go for number two. :)
I'll take #1 because they're my favorite, being the most versatile.
I'll take #3 as it is the only choice left.... :arf:
I prefer paper clips.
Maryd Wins!
Yeh... I won something.Quote:

5. I always wear the colour purple.
Number 2.
I'll take 1.
I'll go with 5.
Number 3
Number 4's the only one left, so I'll take that. ;-)
Thanks guys. Well the only reason I would shave my head is if I had an illness. I love my hair. :) I almost shared a town house with two women and a man, but two out of three of them found partners and moved in with them. Too expensive to rent just the two of us. So I missed out. Loved that place. :( I bought a slow cooker before winter this year and I swear by it. Buy one ladies, they're cheap and they cook up a storm. :) And no, cannot stand the colour purple.
Yes MF, I have a small red dragon beside my computer. It was gifted to me by someone special. I don't dare toss it out. :)
YOur turn MatthewFarlow
My doctor has examined me and determined that I have a rare addiction:
1. I am a celery addict. I eat celery for all of my meals and rarely anything else. Since celery is a food that requires more calories to digest than is in the vegetable itself, I am unhealthily underweight.
2. I am a travel addict. Since I travel to undeveloped countries often, I require many vaccines to ward off all kinds of diseases. Cumulatively, this has strained my immune system and as a result, it is very weak and dependent upon shots to keep me healthy.
3. I am a novelholic. My doctor could tell that I wasn't getting much sleep as soon as I walked into his office; then, after taking off my shirt, it was clear that I wasn't exercising like I used to. After shooting that lit magnifying lens into my eyes to find them strained and bloodshot, he determined that I had been sitting around reading all day and through the night. Some books I just CAN'T put down!
4. I am a waterholic. I drink approximately two gallons of water a day (7 liters is the minimum for an abuser). This much water thins the blood and causes electrolytes and minerals to be 'excreted' to a potentially fatal level. Plus, the damage it can cause on my bladder is virtually irreversible.
5. I am a facial hair junkie. "I've seen your facial hair addiction growing slowly over the past year or so," my doctor told me as I staggered into his office with two canes, my skin pale, "Your obsession has reordered the brain's nutritional priorities; it uses the majority of nutrients in your diet to grow those bristles, and your body gets whatever is left over. Your beard is literally starving your body."
Can you SPOT THE TRUTH?
Wow fury face. This is one long one.
But I'll go for the water addiction. No 4 please. :)
I think I will take #2...
I'll take number 3.
Although the fifth would fit in nicely with your avatar...
I'll go with 5, per the avatar.
I have no choice left so, number 1.
Maryd wins again! It is true, I am considered an aquaholic. The average person requires 1.5 to 2 liters of water in a day. I drink seven. My doctor thinks I need 3 or so, but since I am in perfect health (knock on wood), he sees no real need for me to cut back.
1. I like celery, but not like that.
2. I do travel a lot and get some vaccines as a result. However, I haven't done any damage to my immune system. I could see a greedy doctor telling me I needed to buy a bunch of shots all the time to keep me healthy.
3. Just being on litnet should make this one seem plausible; but no, I don't read enough for it to be detrimental to my well-being.
4. Glug glug.
5. No matter how much one wants to grow a beard, I think that the rewiring of the brain is impossible (at least I hope it is). I am pleasantly surprised that this option was not last to be chosen. That must mean I am extra convincing - Muahaha! I'll have to thank my artsy friend for taking that picture.
Batter up!
Ok... This one will knock your socks off.
1. Last night I fell asleep on the floor.
2. Every night I fall asleep on the floor.
3. After this post I will never post on Litnet again
4. All of the above.
5 Liver and kidney are my favouite foods to eat.
The number one, please.
