1) Once or twice. First was her smile and her eyes, unfortunately she turned out to be a BC.

2) Yes, and in excess of 200 MPH. Often. I enjoy it greatly.

3) I believe it was Johnny Walker black label, but I'm not certain.

4) 16. The fact that it involved a classic 'vette probably has something to do with my addiction to speed.

5) Once or twice a month.

6) Honestly don't remember. My dream memory lasts about four seconds after I wake up. At that point, it's all about finding coffee.

7) Don't think I'd change anything.

1. Father of my child. His butt and his kindness.
2.Trans AM the one like Burt drove in Smokey in the Bandit. It was custom made from the factory .
3.Miller Lite
4.17
5.Yes
6. It made perfect sense while I was dreaming it. But I wouldn't follow through with it. Having sex with my neighbors husband.
7. Boobs. I had a nice set 6 years ago. But I have the prettiest little girl that I wouldn't trade a set of boobs for ever.

1. Yes. His sense of humor, his boldness and self-confidence.
2. Never driven a car in excess of 100 mph, but was on the back of a motorcycle with a boyfriend one time going about 90 mph, I enjoyed it, it was a rush!
3. Beer.
4. 16.
5. At least once a week.
6. Not too long ago I dreamt that the world ended, and me and everyone around me went floating up into the sky. There was no going back, no time to prepare, it was over. And it scared me because I wasn't prepared.
7. I don't think I'd change anything. I'm 37, comfortable with my life, not looking forward to 47, but glad I'm not 27 again.

1: Yes. Her smile, the way she walked, and the way she felt when we cuddled. Unfortunately, I let all of that get in the way of what I SHOULD have seen, and paid the price for it later.
2: Yes, and Yes.
3: Beer that I snuck from Dad's box in the fridge.
4: 16. I was a late bloomer.
5: Maybe once every couple of years. I really don't remember my dreams.
6: See Number 5
7: My eyesight. If you think that doesn't effect your physical appearance, try wearing glasses for 20 years. I have a scar on the side of my nose from where the damn nosepiece bit into it.

Posted by: Raging Dave on November 30, 2003 05:51 PM

1. yup.. I'm an ass man

2. Yes. I practically shit my pants. Scared me silly, but I had to do it.

3. Luke warm bottle of Miller High Life on a boy scout campout.

4. 16.

5. Yup.

6. Being promoted to Maj. Gen. (I'm not in the military.)

7. My goddam crooked assed nose. Been broken bout three times now.

1) I have never been totally in love with someone, and I never thought I was either. I know that love is something that has to be cultivated and grown over time.
2) Not yet, but I'll probably enjoy it when I do.
3) Unless you count religious wine, I had a glass of wine at a small family dinner party.
4) Still got it. Don't intend to lose it any time soon.
5) It depends on how much stress I'm under.
6) Honestly, I don't remember. But that's probably a good thing, since it was probably really scary/freaky/just plain weird.
7) I would tuck in my waistline a few inches. Other than that, I'm happy with my figure. I classify it as "fertility goddess".

Posted by: Joanna L. on November 30, 2003 07:57 PM

1. Yep, the wife. Body of a dancer (yeah, the gogo type, not that anorexic ballerina shit), face of a goddess and heart of a lion.

2. Many times. My current car, an Audi A6 Twin Turbo (with a few mods), has been over 135 more than once. Motorcycles, heh, too many to name.

3. Beer at 15. It led to a sweet experience in a docked boat (owner unknown) at the local lake. My first up close and in person meeting with the wonderous female genitalia; Carrie... the dentist's daughter.

4. 15. A few months after the experience above. I dare say, it was the best 15 seconds of her life.

5. At least 3 nights a week.

6. I have no idea. I usually don't remember them vividly unless I wake up immediately. I often remember bits and pieces of different dreams and they seem to meld together.

7. The ankle that has a few metal bars and more than a few screws in it. When it is cold, the damn thing can be a pain in the arse.

1) Did you ever find yourself totally in love with someone? What was it that really attracted you to them?

Yes....I think it was the fact that my daddy hated him perhaps...

2) Have you ever driven a car at a speed in excess of 100 MPH? If so, did you enjoy the experience?

Hmmm...it's kilometres up here in Canada but I believe I have in fact driven a car in excess of 100MPH as well...and HELL YES I did enjoy it!

3) What was the first alcoholic beverage you ever drank? (If you answer "sloe gin," you are disqualified.)

My friend Kenny's dad's homemade wine...GAWD I was drunk...I was almost 12 at the time. That scares the bejeebers out of me seeing I have a son 12 and one 14...

4) How old were you when you lost your virginity?

14....and a half...and I was the OLDEST girl in my class to do it...that also scares the bejeebers out of me...

5) How often do you have really crazy dreams that make perfect sense while you are dreaming them?

Often....

6) What is the CRAZIEST thing you ever dreamed that made perfect sense as you dreamed it?

Usually involves doing things to my ex-husband...(that aren't pleasant)...

7If you could change one thing about your physical appearence, what would it be? Explain why you want to change, please.

I would like longer fingers and longer nail beds...I've always envied girls with long fingers and nail beds. I think it's sexy. I play the piano as well so that would be a bonus in that regard as well...

Posted by: Lisa on November 30, 2003 08:23 PM

1) Yes. Everything.

2) Yes. and yes.

3) beer

4) 18 or 19 ( I led a sheltered life)

5) All the time.

6) That my dog was prefectly behaved and walking beside me off the leash (will never happen in real life. there was a lot more to the dream but that stands out.)

7) I could stand to lose afew pounds off my gut.
Getting some of my hair back would be nice too.

Posted by: Starhawk on November 30, 2003 09:49 PM

1. I was impressed with the fact that such big tits could be on such a smart girl.
2. 110 mph on the way to the beach. It was fun.
3. Beer. 2 kinds, Falstaff and Jax. Almost killed me.
4. Do we ever really lose it?
5. I had a wreck in '99. I haven't remembered having but 1 "dream" since then.
6. I could hang from an invisible closet rod as I flew around.
7. I am a bit too short for my weight.

My answers are on my journal... Here.

Posted by: Veryalda Relisys on November 30, 2003 11:02 PM

1) Yes, it was her mind, personality, and body. Damn....

2) Of course. I think my personal best is 129 mph on I-77 North. It didn't seem that fast in a Mercedes S-420. Ah.... to be stupid and 21. Wait, I am STILL stupid and 21. Excellent....

3) I think I was about 6 when I mistook a Rum (Jack?) and Coke for a regular Coke. First real drink? Natty Ice. I know, terrible. I was in grade 8, what do you expect?

4) Modesty forbids me from answering, but its gone.

5) Nightly.

6) I dreamed I was trapped in an Olive Garden (of all places) because the door wouldn't open, but I woke up trying to open my bedroom door, about 10 feet from my bed. That was fucked up.

7) I would change my eyes so they work without glasses. If that doesn't count, then, um, my nose ain't quite right with the scars and shape from a car accident.

<1>yes, the wife (newlyweds); it was most definately animal attraction at first sight, long blonde hair, hazel eyes, the smile i'd dreamed of embracing with a long kiss, but most of all her countenance. it was nearly 3 years from our first date when we completed pre-marital counseling and decided that our 3% statistical chance of ending in divorce would be worth the lifelong investment.
<2>cars over 100mph don't do much for me anymore...it's on 2 wheels, every chance i get to "ride", or rather fly to work, when i find the needle hovering between 110 & 151mph (top speed) with the soulful bellow coming from my dream bike's twin mouths: a ducati 748. "la vita est bella"
<3>i wish it was moonshine made of sweet-tasting rye, but it was more like cough-syrup known as "After Shock", age 17, & i passed out watching "the Usual Suspects". never have finished that movie.
<4>after having passed on only a handful of opportunities during the ignorant years, it was the morning after our evening wedding, age 24. was it worth the wait for us both? without a doubt.
<5>now i'm regretting not having enough sense to write down my thoughts after experiencing some unihibited dreams. makes you wonder what they're all about...
<6>random acts of violence on my former boss?? absolutely. now that i'm no longer part of their inbred society, and actually enjoy working AND earning fair wages from my current employer, i still enjoy dreaming about how many ways you can cause one bastard to beg for mercy. want revenge? try www.thepayback.com >:-}
<7>looks are deceiving, but my self-conscious keeps me from going shirtless around anyone but my wife & extended family. the only 6-pack i resemble tastes like Miller Lite, preceded by Mr. Jim Beam Black.
<8>this being my first post, just wanted to express interest & appreciation to the AcidMan, Rob...he is a man of few & yet many words, all of them poignant & inspirational to create my own blog in the near future. one more thing; the opinions expressed on gutrumbles.com from acidman may not always APPEAR (in writing) to be conservative, but i would hope he would agree with me that a distant assessment of his political stature reveals a man of integrity, much like our current national leader. acidman, you're a damn fine American.

1) Yes.....the feeling that maybe someone some where wanted to stand next to me and accept me all that I am, and all that I will never be.

2) Nope -- I grew up in Philly and moved to LA I never go faster then 15mph, and that's when traffic's good.

3) Absolute vodka at age 12.

4) 18.

5) Very rarely.

6) I once had a dream that I was chucking kittens at a wall with all my might. The floor was littered with tiny limp fuzzy lumps and I kept pulling more kittens out of my purse. Makes me sick just thinking about it.

7) I think I would change my legs. I'm Jewish and Hispanic among other things and I ended up looking like J.Lo-enstein. Big boobs, nice butt, trainwreck stumps to lumber around with.

1. The Eyes and smile, while she was telling me I shouldn't order mayo on a corn beef sandwich. I married her 5 years later. 25 years ago and counting.

2. Oh yeah! And Motor cycles over 150. Don't have the vision or reflexes for that crap anymore.

3. Beer from a can that required a real can opener. There was a picture of a Canadian Mounty on it, but I can't remember the name. Drewery's maybe?

4. 17. Got the clap too. Took the shine off of things somewhat.

5. Seldom. I
