I am likely one of the youngest people in North America to have written a computer program on punch cards, prior to that technology becoming wholly obsolete.

I have two Master's degrees. I mostly use them to make jokes about Matthew 6:24: I have to serve myself at restaurants, because no one can serve two masters.

I share a birthday (month, day, year) with Prince's brother.

As a child, I was babysat by a number of talented college athletes who failed to make it at the next level.

The oldest brewery in the nation is located in Pottsville, PA, where my dad grew up. At Disney, we went to their "Pub" for dinner once and they had a "flight of beers from around the world" and identified that beer as coming from Ireland.

The fact is how I knew the statement was wrong.

My father is longtime friends with Bruce Dickinson, the reissue producer of numerous Blue Oyster Cult best-of compilations for Columbia Records, which led to his name being used in the "More Cowbell" sketch.

I'm told I like bad coffee.

I'm really good at guessing the number of minutes in stoppage time at Seattle Sounders soccer games.

At a conference once I got to meet the guy responsible for bringing Tetris to America, and the Olsen twins.

I prefer room-temperature coffee.

I am 52 years old and have never seen a single episode of THE BRADY BUNCH

kellybdevoe.bsky.social•263 days ago

How is that possible?! I’ve seen every episode like five times?

Have you seen Saved by the Bell

tft.io•263 days ago

We didn’t have a TV until I was like 14, so I missed prime latchkey kid TV time, I guess

winnerbowzer.bsky.social•263 days ago

They’re called “rubber binders” not bands, where I come from. I’m so sorry.

stevequick.bsky.social•263 days ago

Wow, that's St Paul specific!

winnerbowzer.bsky.social•263 days ago

My dad never let me forget that shiat. His dad probably worked in a binder factory. Only reason for that kind of loyalty

I still have my ticket from when I went to the 1999 Yankees vs Expos game where David Cone pitched a perfect game.

I can triple-roll my tongue.

I live within walking distance of this giant metal armadillo, adorned with optional longhorn accessorizing.

pipofsuffolk.bsky.social•263 days ago

How fun is this?! Do you have a giant armadillo with optional headgear for a reason, or just for fun?

I once successfully convinced someone online that a television show was premiering on September 31.

amyhoy.bsky.social•264 days ago

“y” makes up 1/3 of the letters in my first and last name

johnmoe.bsky.social•264 days ago

Like me, you can fit your whole name on a vanity license plate but I bet, like me, you haven’t.

For a very long time, I could buy trousers with the same values for the inseam and waist, essentially square pants.

30ish years ago, I got 10th best score in Super Mario Brothers for a radio station contest. That won me tickets to the Ice Capades show coming to town

When I was 18 I applied for a summer job at a sewage plant and was annoyed that they passed me over because they didn’t think I would have a promising future in the sewage industry

dmnd.me•263 days ago

I know is meant to be mildly interesting but my one experience with sewage people was at a college job/internship fair and they took it more seriously (in a good way) than anyone else there and in retrospect I should have applied to SWANA.

As a youth, I composed a song in MIDI that was so bad that it got rejected from AOL's free file depository, including a note encouraging me to go back to the drawing board

zanadu.bsky.social•263 days ago

I prefer very sweet beverages and very savory foods.

The only time I ever won anything by calling into a radio station was a day in high school when I was playing hooky (it was $97)

My dad wouldn’t get the concert tickets I won…. :(

The street I live on is named after the town I grew up in.

I left Minnesota in 1987 and returned in 1993, so missed both Twins championships.

My dad worked with John Flansburgh’s dad, I never met father or son.

I got bored and memorized The Raven when I was in high school and still remember the first 3-4 stanzas.

mhlanghoff.bsky.social•263 days ago

I'm right-handed but curve my wrist like a left-handed person when I write. My brother does the same thing. Neither of our parents does.

I used to be on a medication for which the official withdrawal symptoms included "nightmares".

anxiousherzog.bsky.social•263 days ago

Your anecdote checks out. Once I needed to order a missing part for my "Nostalgia electrics" ice cream machine, and the customer support line voice was the most midwestern accent I've ever heard.

When I was a baby, we lived next door to John Fogerty
