    "Used & abused & thrown away" because my lovely now ex-wife twice beat me up & had the local keystone cops take me away in silver bracelets - this by the time of our three-month anniversary.

    "Virgin" because I was so old by the time of my wedding night that Viagra didn't work.

    I was right. A man SHOULDN'T have asked.

    Yes, I have one. Since we're being personal, do you prefer being called Ted or Theo?
    Just trying to be polite.

    Personally, I prefer that my friends call me "Ted," but sometimes I call myself "Theo" - when I'm feeling god-like & arrogant - and I've even been known to call myself "T. L." from time to time, but you'd have to know your Yiddish to grasp the significance of that one.

    Sorry? I understand SOME Yiddish, but I regret to admit that that one went right over my head.

    "T. L.," in my case, can stand for "Theodore Lamar," but in Yiddish, "T. L." stands for "tuchus licher." (Hope I spelled that one right!)

    "bissel" is taken from the German "bischen" (which I think gets an esset but I don't know how to do that)

    I never try to speak Yiddish because my pronounciation is decidedly German.

    Not politically correct.

    And, just for comparison purposes, what is an irregular guy?

    "bisschen"
    Two "s" can be substituted for an esset.

    Since I'm posting, here are my details:
    24, 6 foot, 84 Kg, mix between Scandinavian, German and Cuban blood. When my skin see's the sun it gets nicely tanned :)
    Born and raised in southern California. The last 5 years I've been in Switzerland ... which is why my skin is usually not that tanned, "leider." :(
    Went to Europe during Summer vacation after Sophmore year and I've been here ever since.
    Started school (CLEP, Dantes and several courses) last September. I work as a Systems Engineer for a company that partners with several Swiss banks. It's just like in the movies .. James Bond is here every other month. :)
    Speak German with an American accent and now English with a German accent ... I'm pretty much useless.

    Plan on moving back to San Diego when the real estate market crashes. Right now it's way too expensive.

    I found that one in some old 1970s (?) vintage book called _The Joys of Yiddish_. I can't seem to find which box it's being stored in, however.

    I am a Nigerian. I am forty six years old, one hundred and ninety three pounds, seventy five inches tall, brown eyes, brown skin, black hair, and has a BBA, MS, and Ph.D. from University of Texas (Long Horn forever!!!). Hey, the Ph.D. was for convenience and decoration because I had the time (I was young) and had someone willing to pay for it. The private world is sure better than the teaching world.

    I direct the institutional environmental, health and safety programs at a very large academic medical and research center. Thank you.

    Cehi,

    Good luck to your Longhorns in the College World Series. They had to do it the hard way this year. Good luck to the football team as well. You have an amazing quarterback. He was unbelievable in the Rose Bowl. Hopefully my Cougars will do something this year in football. I know our baskeball team will be better.

    I'm joining late but here it goes:

    I'm 22 years old dark hair (almost black), light green/dark blue eyes, dark skin. Father is Italian and mother is part Native American. I'm a Paranormal Investigator & EVP/ITC Technician trained under Dennis Hauck and I trained under the guidance of Dave Oester as a ghost researcher.

    In the near future I'll be venturing off to China to teach English for at least a month or so.
