Hello!

[Synamon]

Welcome new guy. All the good stuff is used up? Nah, I bet you could come up with something original if you gave it a shot.

I'm going to have to agree with Synamon on this one, tell us a bedtime story?

"Everything...", someone has already written about everything?! Has someone written about;
- Minnie & Pluto's illicit love-child, and it's impact on the cartoon industry.
- The causes of washtub blockages in mid-20th century Philadelphia.
- The raunchy secrets engraved on the edges of 1947-issue Lincoln pennies.
- Why Michele Obama likes Skippy peanut butter over Jif.

...huh, has someone written about any of that? Well, have they?!!

You didn't put a period at the end of your second sentence. Now my whole day is ruined.

Why do you hate dogs? We never did anything to you! We are harmless animals, just trying to make a way in this man-dominated world!!!

Welcome to the Forum (<--no period... hah! Back at you....)

Another incident of "the man" trying to hold down the oppressed masses!

Story time

I’ll start off by saying I feel like a weight has been lifted knowing that there are other crazy people like me out there, but it has become a bit of a mind obsession at the same time.
I’ve read on this forum about people with voices in their head. I don’t have voices in my head, but pictures. Pictures will come to me, memories from a very young age, and changes in mood will bring pictures. I read a book about Nikola Tesla, when he was young he would watch people walk and see sparks connect their feet to the ground, while I do not share this trait with him, I am able to assemble complex machines in my mind. I have written movies, created inventions, alternative sources of energy, and improvements of existing products, all in my head. I have seen every part, seen every thing work, and thus am bored with the idea- on to something else.
I have eaten in restaurants and the waiter has a photographic memory, he would take the order of everyone at the table and not write down a thing. Sometimes taking multiple tables’ orders at once, and never messed up an order- my memory is nothing like that. However, I had a part-time bartending job for three years, the servers could bark out 10 drinks and I would get them all correct. My method was to grab the glass as they said the drink; the glass triggered the type of drink to go in said glass.
I play little games with people. My job involves technical sales. One fun game is to walk past the refrigerator and discretely place one of our company’s magnets on the fridge without the homeowner knowing it. It has gone farther, the competition’s trucks are not off limits either. In fact, when I tag one of their trucks with a magnet I take a picture, sign my name and date on the picture, and call it a confirmed kill.
Another great little game to play with people is to mess with their dogs. Many people use their furry best friend as a judge of character. Two can play that game. I went to the store and bought the cheapest, most smelly dog treats I could find; you know the soft ones in the zipper bag. I take the treat- rub it on my wrists, ankles, groin, and put the remaining treat in my back pocket. Dogs go crazy! The dog has its nose to the area where my legs come together, and the homeowner is very embarrassed, awesome icebreaker. Homeowner: “My dog doesn’t like anyone.” Me: “I think he has a little leg hound in him.” Press hard there’s three copies. Once I had a cat climbing up me.
My senses are hyper sensitive, but different. I do not have 20/20 vision, but can walk through a crowded Las Vegas casino and see every person’s face; I can walk through a room or area and see every detail. If I lay on the floor and stretch, I see pictures in the patterns of drywall, when I close my eyes, colors and patterns galore, I do not see “Black” when my eyes are closed. My hearing, my ears constantly ring- although I don’t always notice it, but I have gotten out of bed to move two wineglasses that are too close together and make a harmonics noise. I would notice the same noise when I was bartending- music, dancing, loud people, and I could still hear two wine glasses if they were touching.
Hypersensitivity does not equate to sensitivity to pain, in fact, I enjoy pain- when pounding a nail, if I miss and hit my finger, I don’t even stop swinging. It feels good, I like seeing a good wound the moment it happens and looking at it before the blood starts to pool, and think oooohhhh that’s a good one.
The character in Natural Born Killers- Juliette Lewis played Mallory Knox. I have two daughters, guess what their names are. Fight club, Jack’s alter ego- guess what my son’s name is.
I would enjoy being President, but in the same breath I would also like to spend some time in a mental institute, not because I think I should be locked up- nothing like that, but to see all the “crazies.”
I am able to see the bigger picture in the way thing operate, business, commerce, government. The song “handlebars” by the Flobots, has a line “I can see the strings that control the system.”
I’m in touch with the monster.
Like I said before just the same crap everyone else said
(period left out for the dog)

Thanks

Welcome buk.

Good story.
I relate to the waiter who could remember orders - I worked as a waiter for a short time - and tied the orders to faces (and voices) - I didn't use an order pad.
Maybe it was me????

Good to have you!
