Ten (+ One) Things I've Done Others Might Not Have:

01) Won 2nd place in a Lego Imagination building contest (I still have the badge).

02) Met Larry Drake (Mr. Durant, the bad guy from "Darkman") at a feline rescue compound and talked at length about the three Darkman movies.

03) Been mistaken for a sumo wrestler by an elderly Japanese lady in Little Tokyo (I was honored, as sumo wrestlers are held in high esteem).

04) Completed S.T.U.N. Runner at my local arcade, sent the code in, and got the t-shirt!

05) Owned every single version of the toy VF-1 Valkyries from Macross the TV show and "Do You Remember Love" movie.

06) Won 3rd place in a Halloween costume contest at work, dressed as Hagrid.

07) Have worked for Platinum Studios, the company that handles everything Men In Black related (I am Agent Zee) [Flashy-thingy!!]

08) Was stupid enough to sell this toy and a few other robot toys to the property master for the movie "Explorers".

09) Been the mascot for Team Pickwick, a skateboard team captained by my older brother and sponsored by Pickwick, a large toy/hobby shop in Northern France.

10) Am one of the few people to own the apparently rare and obscure Bandai "Real Type Cloth Heavy Weapon Command Gundam" toy.

11) Actually found and corrected factual mistakes in Jeopardy! questions written by the TV show's research staff.

Well, it wasn't at a feline rescue compound, it was at my office -- he was dating my secretary at the time.

Well, I was in a position to tell the Jeopardy guys, "hey! You messed up!"
and for them to say, "holy crap, you're right!". Fun!

I actually had an interview to go on Jeopardy! back in 2002, but I got a job
at Knowledge Adventure right before it, so I never went. Considering how well
things went at KA (I stayed there 3 months), maybe I shoulda gone...

You're a bit scrawny for a Sumo, aren't you? OK well you are NOW at least.

Just imagine the diet of a French Sumo. *squeee!*

*giggle* Ah, thank you for Image of the Week. ^_^

Of course, not having laid eyes on the kzin in a few years now, for all I know, he's 135lb and only eats lettuce leaves and rice cakes..

Moo!
Nah, I'm still the big French Kzin.
I lost some weight, gained some weight, and lost some weight again.
The sibling has me on a low-fat, quasi-vegetarian diet, and the portions are so small!
I look at the plate and think "man, I ate three times that amount when I was working!".
So I eat at noon, and by 4pm, I'm starving! Argh!
