Taniwha:I can't believe I just read this whole thread! You are all wack jobs!
But anyway, I've tried to write my name in the snow a few times. The most I could get was "Dougla...". Either I was too obsessed with "pen"manship, or I didn't have to go as badly as I thought I did.
Oh yeah, and BTW, in the military heads we developed a concept called the "courtesy flush" for those who just wanted to brush their teeth at the sinks but couldn't stand the smell when the heads were all in use. The teeth brushers would yell, "courtesy flush!", and the sitters would flush, regardless of what stage of the process they were in.
Just my 2¢,
Doug
Try starting with your inititials, then work your way through "Doug", then eventually "Douglas". Sounds like you need to work on your outlet control. I believe it's a bit like belching the alphabet.
