Isn't that a useless fact about your coworker?

I'd say the fact about the coworker is useful (e.g., if you're into audio, or a fan of REO Speedwagon). The fact that Low Roller knows the coworker, on the other hand, was useless, until Roller used it to start a jambands.ca topic.

A useless fact about me is that I was at the Big Cat Club in Osaka where Phish played, but almost a year after they did, to see Eric Johnson; this was the furthest from home of any concerts I've attended.

Aloha,

Brad

I scored low on the Critical Reasoning portion of my GMATs. Maybe I should get you to coach me?

As per Ollie's comment, yes, I suppose he is right. So a useless fact about myself would be that English beer gives me bad gas.

bradm you didn't travel all that way to see eric johnson did you?!

Nope. My brother lived in Japan from 1988 - 2003, and I took a couple of weeks in April/May 2001 to visit him and tour around with him. I timed the trip to be able to see Eric Johnson, but the trip wasn't specifically to go to the show (in other words, I would have gone around that time if Johnson hadn't been playing).

Aloha,

Brad

I currently have "flu-like symptoms' from getting the flu vaccine yesterday.

On a related subject because of international work travel I have had almost every vaccine available to Canadian individuals. My favorite was the Japanese Encephalitis. My least favorite was Typhoid because it was big and it hurt my arm.

I just found out that I work with a guy who used to be in Helix.

Ok now, this it too funny. I thought about posting this a while a go, but never got around too it.

I too work with a guy who used to be in Helix. Or, actually, he was their "lighting technician and sound guy". Because I feigned interest once, hes told me numerous stories and kept me updated as to how they are doing. He even told me a hilarious story of not too long ago when they got their old drummer back, they played one gig and he got stolen away to Europe by Saga's manager.

Then, as if thats not enough Helix in my life, Im in a completely different city at a tiny warehouse picking up some parts for my work when the counter guy smoothly drops the fact that he used to be in Helix. Really, I say. What instrument did you play? To which he replies, almost verbatum to what the other guy said, "oh, I didnt really play an instrument, I was their sound and ligthing guy." No shit, eh? I know this other guy...

One of them is lying...but why?

All this leads me to believe that theres this conspiracy in Southern Ontario between aging sound and lighting guys that allows them to "Helix" people. Cuz really, who would ever call a guy out for being in the band Helix? No one cares enough. Except for me. I will no longer stand for people pretending to have been in a crappy band.

By the way, I was once in the band Moist.

oh, and as Bubbles says, "I aint given no fuckin 'R'"

I once sang the national anthem on the field before an Expos v. Astros game at the Houston Astrodome.

solo?!?!?

No, and I realize that my post might have been misleading in that regard. I was at a summer camp in Houston and all the kids who were at the camp that summer sang the anthems. It was a total fluke that the Expos were in town I got to do the Canadian one as well. It was the year that Henry Rodriguez was tearing it up, so it was pretty wicked to jog right past him as we ran off the field.

I was on the Toronto Maple Leafs game crew from '99-'04. One of our intermission promotions was Pizza Pizza's great Canadian Goalie Race. I was the green goalie - aka "Handsome Johnny Luckowhich"

One of my nipples is larger than the other.

.....oh, and I invented the internet.
