    Name a personal quark of your's, a quark that leaves you, your friends, and family like "wtf...?".

    I will listen to Whitechapel (highest order of metal insanity imo) and follow up with Tayor Swift.

    I'm thinking about taking up quilting with my grandmother's sewing machine.

    I have no clue what a quark is, but I have a ton of quirks.

    I quilt, but by hand, not machine, grandmother's or otherwise. Quilting done on a machine is just.............well, sewing.

    I have a weird sense of humor, sometimes referred to as gallows humor, from my cop days. A lot of people don't get it, but the ones that do seem to enjoy it. BTW, I'm with Oldyoungin:wink:
    Enjoy!

    Im considered lazy and boring to most people. I am perfectly content with sitting around my house doing absolutely nothing during my spare time. So when my friends ask to come over or something and I say no thanks they tend to get offended as if I'm avoiding them or something. I am also sarcastic which tends to annoy those who don't know me well enough to know I'm joking.

    I am impatient with ignorant people and often tell them of their faults before walking away in disgust.

    I hate it when people pick up their glass or silverware at the same moment I do. It's infinitely worse when they not only do that, but put their drink or silverware down at the same time. I've refrained from telling people this in real life.

    Hahahaha. My mother always used to start talking about people getting killed and death in general during dinner. I picked it up as a young man but quit later in life.

    I am a bit obsessive about something for awhile then lose interest. When I am obsessed, it is pretty focused. That trait turns out to help me a lot for work.

    I get a kick out of being purposely obtuse, especially with people who I know are making s**t up, and then watching them struggle to figure out how to come up with a counterpoint. Sometimes I team up with people I know I can trust just to keep the others guessing. Mental gymnastics is a lot more fun than jogging.:wink:
    Enjoy!

    How do you feel about 'toppers' and contrarians? They can always top any experience you've had, and must disagree with your opinions on principal. They're so much better than you, but love your company! There's a guy at work like this, a few of us cooperatively (*)(*)(*)(*) with him for fun, and he's totally clueless about it.

    You mean the kind that if you know a cop, they know the chief, and if you know the chief, they know the mayor? Oh, yeah, all my life. Another of my favorite mind games is you tell only one person something, and then wait to see how long before it comes back to you in a totally different form. Or better yet, how long before it gets to your boss! This game accomplishes
    two things: It let's you know who you can trust, and also who you can set up with false information that makes them look stupid and gets them to avoid you, if even for a little while.:smile:
    Enjoy!

    Boring? You pilot an advanced attack helicopter for the U.S. Army. You have the most exciting job in the World. You act like you sell insurance or something.

    Anyway...quirks...yes, well I like mustard on my hot dogs, to some this is a culinary sin.

    I'm a bit of a clean freak with my house and cars. Does that count?

    lol well yeah the job itself isn't boring but Im talking about the rest of my life in general. I don't do much, I usually lay around on the weekends and watch tv or browse the internet. I'm the complete opposite of what the casual world would think somebody like me would be. I am FAR from the "hollywood" version of someone with my job would have. My definition of a fun night is sitting in my chair under a lamp reading a book with a few beers, or watching a documentary on black holes on the science channel lol. I drive an old plain pick up truck. Many of my friends are the real life "Maverick" style guys who own fast cars and motorcycles and speed boats and go cliff diving, rock climbing, snowboarding, etc. And it annoys the crap out of them that I'm not like that. I get told that I "get on their nerves" with my antics, or lack thereof, pretty often by them lol.

    There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots.

    We would call a missed approach a "bummer." While no pilot likes a go-around, most prefer to land and are loathe to admit something didn't go properly ...I was King of the bummers back in the day. If something to feel or look quite right ...request permission to go-around. Power, pitch, flaps, and gear. Eventually you get a reputation, as overly cautious. However I never so much as dinged a prop or popped a tire because of a hard landing. Anyway...I was and am the same way, cautious to the point of being boring; though I did ride motorcycles.

    Everything else looks o.k., but I've got people working on it, however the last (*) (*) (*) (*) could be correct, depending on the (*) translations BTW, regardless of the translation, they themselves do not constitute a sentence.:salute:
    Enjoy!

    Wow, with all that boredom, one might imagine that you're user name is not indicative of you're call sign, hmmmm?
    All BS aside, thanx for being there for us, bored or not, and let's hope the boredom outweighs the alternative.:salute:
    Enjoy!

    My pillows have to be stacked in a certain way.

    All of the my pens have to be facing the same direction.

    If someone rearranges my desktop icons I kill them.

    When I tie my shoes the bow has to be the same size on both shoes.

    Everything in cabinets or the refrigerator needs to face forward. Things have labels for a reason.

    If you adjust the angle of my TV see number 3.

    If you are going to shake lefty you damn well better not have a right hand available.

    My clothes are hung via utility first and them sub divided into color.
