Getting to Know You!

[chickwhorips]

Welcome everyone! Make yourself at home.

What is the biggest lie you've ever told: Did not tell someone (who had a right to know) how many dogs I really had.

Kinda like one of my lies-"you're not gonna keep that dog, are you?"

Most fun ever had on a bike?
Once I did a tour of Wales and I was riding in Pembrokeshire. One day it happened that Tom Jones was driving by the group on a remote road and he recognized me....

And from what previous encounter did Mr. Jones recognize you from? Hmm? HMM?

Who is Karl Hungus? Is that a dumb question?

Not a dumb question at all, Elk. Karl Hungus was a character in a fictitious porn movie featured in the real movie, The Big Lebowski.

There will be a test later.

A film instructor! How cool is that?

I love Coen movies. TBL is my favorite, but I really liked Barton Fink, too.

The Dude abides.

The only Cohen Bros. movie I know is O Brother Where Art Thou. I never get tired of seeing it.
