I believe I've seen you mention her at least once so I'll select Parker Posey.

I'll guess Nicole Kidman! (Parker Posey is one of Lash's favorites too, IIRC.) (Either that, or it's a trick question, and the answer is... Arcee.  )

Cool -- I'm up! Give me a little time to come up with a question. There's so little about me that isn't widely known already...

See, see. I said if I went for one of those two the other one would be the answer and I was right, dammit.

I'll say Oceanographer.
(I wanted to be either a history teacher or a historian)

I'm going to say pilot, because all the good ones are already taken and I know about your love for rollercoasters.

So can we assume nobody's gotten it right yet? Do we get another go?

I'm going to say dentist for the sheer bizarreness factor.

Actually, Quislet was correct! I wanted to be an oceanographer. Other things I wanted to be (which I didn't list) were an astronomer (which, like an oceanographer, probably entails a lot of solitary time spent poring over charts and graphs) and a detective (I read a lot of Hardy Boys, Three Investigators, and Encyclopedia Brown as a kid). I did like dinosaurs (in particular, drawing them), but it never occurred to me to study them. I'll bump this up again on Monday morning for Quis!

Cool career choices there, STU. So did you also want to be an astronaut, as well as being an astronomer?

Briefly, but I think I lost interest in the whole endeavor when I failed to win a coveted spot at Space Camp that one summer. Kids can be so fickle. :rolleyes: Where's Quis?

DING DING DING DING DING We have a winner.
I was indeed 7 when my sister (17 years older than me) had her first child.
I currently have 7 nieces and nephews and my oldest niece has 5 kids of her own. Making me a great uncle.
The first time I felt "old" was when my oldest niece learned to drive.

All right then. I'm going to be a bit nationalistic now.
One of the following is NOT true:
1. Colombia is, by population, the third largest country in Latin America.
2. Salsa, although now very popular in Latin America, actually originated in New York City.
3. The love of spices in Colombia reaches Indian levels, Colombians generally use more spices than Mexicans.
4. The tallest mountain in Colombia is not in the Andes.
5. The Colombian islands of San Andres and Providencia lie off the coast of Nicaragua
