I like when you guys write these 10 things lists.... it is a good fun way to learn about the real people inside.

But I do like them Crawdads!!!!  You know how in school kids make up funny names about you.  Mine was CRAWfish.

[MandaMe1986]

Why was it crawfish?   How in the world do you get a name like crawfish?

[twirl]

I love crawdads
we used to use bacon for bait and catch them in Spring Creek

crawfish would be a redneck's lobster

crawfish boil ---- hot seasonings, boil corn and potatoes and crawfish and beer with lime
                      very good and messy and fun to eat and more fun to drink the beer
                     ( in the good ole days before D )

[dwcrawford]

Manda... look at my screen name... isn't it obviouis.

Crawfish are fabulous.  Yes Twirl, I love all those things.  I also like the ones that are already cleaned in ready to eat.  You can never get full if you have to pull the heads yourself...l(To the uninitiated, crawdad is just a country word for crawfish)

1. I am on a United States Postage Stamp (6 cents: Law & Order 1968)

That's you on the stamp?

[YLGuy]

Yes, that is me and my father.  My father was a police officer in the town of Westport, CT.  An artist named Ward Brackett was commissioned by the United States Post Office to do a commemorative stamp celebrating policed officers.  He knew that in addition to being  police officer, my father had done some modeling and had 2 sons.  The day that we modeled my older brother was in school.  I was only 5 years old and kindergarten was half days so my father brought me.  That is my 15 minutes of fame.  Stamp collectors from all over the world have mailed sheets/blocks of the stamps to my father.  He signs them and mails them to me to sign and mail back.

Ready for the joke now?
Countless people have licked my backside!
I didn't say it was going to be good.
