You found out about the celebrity-only petting zoo and schemed a way to gain admittance. Wayne Gretzky was decided upon because he's important enough to get a +1 but no one knows what he looks like without the mask.

Ayy we have inverse hobbies, mine is making up insane context for the tiny snippets I overhear when passing strangers in a conversation.

A few years ago I came up with a game where the navigator/DJ queues up 3 songs all connected in some way and the driver (and other passengers) have to figure out what the connection is. It's become my favourite road trip game, but now I can't stop noticing random details in songs that would make cool themes.

Thanks for the info! However your facts will never be strong enough to take away their maple smell.

On my first day of grade 8, the science teacher asked if anyone had a bill for a demonstration. I volunteered my $5 bill. He proceeded to douse it in some chemical and torch it, to the amusement of the class. It burned for a few seconds but the bill was unharmed. At first I didn't spend it because I liked the story, but now I also won't spend it because it's the last paper bill I have (all Canadian bills have been plastic for a while).

I always get goosebumps toward the end of Hurry, Hurry by Air Traffic Controller (Spotify link). I love the song and even though it's upbeat the message is poignant.

I got an HP laptop in university and someone coughed a mouthful of tea onto my keyboard a few months later. At first I kept "a" on my clipboard so I could paste it as needed while typing, but soon other keys followed. So my computer is over 6 years old and I've been typing for almost 6 years using:

  • The 4 on my num pad as the A key
  • The 7 on my numpad as Q
  • The 5 on my numpad as tab
  • The 2 on my numpad as Z
  • The help/F1 is ESC
  • The numpad 1 to type 1 and exclamation points

Recently, I've also changed the minus on my numpad to be ` (backtick). I don't have a capslock. Thankfully, the damage didn't continue to spread because I would have eventually run out of keys.

Sometimes I fantasize about someone calling me out on a weird typo so I can tell them about it.
