I'd love to hear the story behind several of these, but especially 1.

Some stories I won't tell, but this one I will -

I had a sunburn, and when it was peeling off, I got a nice strip from my shin. Possessed by I-don't-know-what, I put it in an envelope to Jesse Helms with a note that said "For your lampshade collection." I'm *certain* that a) it never got anywhere near him, and b) there's a file on me in Washington. A boring and mostly empty file, but a file.

I've seen a calf slaughtered, but I barely remember. I was pretty young.

I'm now enjoying fond memories of your elaboration of #10 at a Vividcon dinner, to the sounds of about twenty fen gasping for breath between hysterical laughs.

#9 repeatedly. We raised our own pigs for meat for years.
