Thank you all for your kind words.
Everything is cool with me and my ear. I did enjoy the day off after my problem was taken care of. Me and the fat basset enjoyed some time on the couch and watched "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."
But the show must goes on.
And now that you know a little more about me I figured you could handle some more confessions from Mr. Shife.

- My ringtone is "The Final Countdown" by Europe. Why? Because I love Gob on "Arrested Development" and that was his theme music.
- I spent six days in jail during my undergraduate days at the University of Idaho. Long story short, I was at the wrong place at wrong time. Me and two buddies were charged with misdemeanors but the judge wanted to teach us a lesson so we got to spend two weekends in jail.
- During this altercation, I was being questioned by the police and they knew I was lying. I was also bombed out of my mind. Anyway, they said they wanted the truth, and Mr. Shife got a shit eating grin on his face and looked the cop right in the eye and slurred, "You want the truth. You can't handle the truth." Ummmm, let's just say the police officer was not impressed with my Jack Nicholson impersonation.
- When I find something I like I stick with it. I have eaten at Quizno's for probably a good 2 years and I have ordered the same thing every single time. I am a creature of habit I guess. I just love their Italian sub.
- I drank myself out of college (a tiny school in Carlinville, IL called Blackburn College) when I was 18 and enlisted in the Navy. I spent a few years being a seaman in Florida. It was fun but I picked up a nasty habit .... chewing tobacco.
- I chewed for nearly 10 years and finally quit 5 years ago. The only reason I quit was because the doctor had to cut a small part of my tongue off and told me I would lose the rest of it if I didn't stop. The tongue grew back and I am been clean since then. It was probably the hardest I have ever done.
- I never have liked chest hair and I shaved it pretty regular for about 15 years. I do some regular manscaping now but I let it grow out a little bit.
- I was accepted into film school.
- Some of you know who Pat Tillman is, and I was fortunate enough to meet him before he left for the Army. It was one of the most memorable days of my life.
- I love basset hounds. My ultimate dream job would be to run a basset hound rescue. I grew up with the breed, and I have had four in my life. Mrs. Shife and I have had Quincy for almost six years and know she can't imagine any other type of dog in our lives .
- I consider myself a funny fellow but I only know one joke by heart. It is about a mayonnaise jar and flies.
- I grew up a military brat and lived in Nevada, North Dakota, Alaska, Illinois, Japan, and Idaho. I consider myself an Idahoan now since I have lived here for the most part since 1985.
- Born in St. Louis, and love the baseball Cardinals but decided to stick with the football Cardinals when they moved to Arizona. It has been always been tough living with that decision since they suck ass.
- And for some reason I fell in love with the University of North Carolina Tar Heels basketball program. I think it was mostly due to Michael Jordan, but for whatever reason I bleed Carolina Blue even though I have no affiliations with the state.
- The Dean Dome is on my list of places to visit and watch the Heels play. I also want to go to the Little League World Series, the College World Series, and spend a summer hitting as many Major League Baseball parks as possible.
OK, that is enough for now. I don't want to let all my secrets out.
Have a nice day.

That's funny you mentioned blackburn, I just got a recruiting letter from them for one of my girl's on my tennis team, I had never heard of it.
basset hounds are awesome dogs!
Enjoy your hump day
I can't believe I'm the SECOND person to respond to your post. How often does THAT happen??
Thanks for a good Wednesday kickoff. :)
Manscaping is a must.
I forgot you were a Navy man...
Who knew?? :)
My step dad used to have a basset hound. He would heat it's food up (Bil-Jac) in the microwave, and if anyone did not heat up the food, the dog would take it's paw and dump the food out as an act of defiance. That dog also peed on my bed when we left her home one night.
I'm not sure how I feel about basset hounds ;)
I am a person of routine also... No matter where I go I always order the same thing. I dont want to take the chance of ordering something and not liking it. Especially when I'm hungry.
They're leaving together, but still they stand tall. And maybe they've seen us and welcome us all.
I hate ringtones for the record, however, if forced to choose one, it'd definitely be a song along the lines of Final Countdown.
I would LOVE to hear more about this six days in jail story. I loved the sass.
And OMG, Mrs... I laughed my ass off at your post. Was the dog's name Paris Hilton?
LMAO at your comment to the cop. Have you ever been featured on "COPS"?
Quizno's kicks ass!
Hmmmm...I like semen...er...SEAmen. Did ya get any tattoos? Show me yours and I'll show you mine.
Eddie Van Halen (my oldest son is named Edward Wolfgang...yes, I'm a EVH fan) lost part of his tongue, too. I don't know if his grew back or not...I don't spend much time in his mouth.
The only joke I know about a mayonnaise jar is : What's grosser than gross? Getting to the bottom of a mayonnaise jar and finding a rubber.
My current ring tone is Haddaway's 'What is Love' although I have different ring tones for different people.
I'm glad you ditched the tobacco. You need your tongue!
What? You don't have a cockroach army of your own? I don't keep them in my apartment, but I'm training them to rid the world of morons! muwhahahahahaha
I'm glad to hear you quit dipping. I think that's a really nasty habit. But I learned that the tongue regenerates. That's my "learn something new every day" lesson for today. :)

I just want to say hi while I have 10 mins left before we go on a trek to a Bedouin village :-)
Hello from Dahab, Egypt!
It was VERY interesting reading. :)
You're a special person.
I mean that in a good way, not a short bus way.
it sounds like you've passed many tests.
I have often bragged that I could do a week or 2 standing on my head. I have even wanted to be given a week or 2 sentence just to get the fuck away from people a few times
I'm probably full of shit though
Oh, and agian, a sailor who shaves his chest...Let the stereotypes continue.
oh, and consider me your affilitaion to North Carolina, since that is where I'm from. ;)
so glad you stopped the chewing. That is a sure fire way to lose your tongue and sometimes your whole jaw! yikes. Tongues grow back? seriously? i did not know that.
