Edit by BJ:
Welcome JimBob, while we welcome you to our forums we kinda frown on someone signing up & pitching thier own website in thier very first post as we consider it spam. However I will give you the benefit of the doubt this time & not close your account. BJ

CURRICULUM VITAE
=================
I am a dynamic figure, often seen surfing the net and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees. I write award-winning operas. I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row. I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing. I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru. Using only a hoe and a large glass of cheap booze, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello. I bake thirty-minute Brownies in ten minutes. I was scouted by the Mets. I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my backyard. I enjoy urban hang-gliding at night. On Wednesdays, after lunch, I repair electrical appliances free of charge. I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. Last summer I toured the Yukon with a traveling centrifugal force demonstration. I have translated Hemingway's Short Stories in easy to follow Latin. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me. I communicate with alligators in the Okefenokee Swamp. I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I play chess tournaments blindfolded. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I once drove from Toronto to Vancouver while reading Tolstoy's War and Peace. I have performed several covert operations for the RCMP. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in the USA, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. I speak twelve languages including Hottentot and Swahili. Years ago I designed a Chinese typewriter using only five keys. I once sailed a ferry in the Arctic, using it as an ice-breaker. The laws of physics do not apply to me. I can stop the laws of gravity at will. I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a wok and a toaster oven. I speak frequently at astronomy seminars explaining what happened before the Big Bang. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet. I have performed open-heart surgery and I have spoken with Elvis.
But......I have never belonged to a forum where I had to dress up. And incidentally, I.m not a doctor, but I look like one.
Hmm I remember when I first discovered it, great movie. :confused:Quote:
