What's your problem with Moree?

The thriving north-west NSW cotton town on the banks of the Mehi River may not be the prettiest town on earth - but it's quite OK to talk about in public.

Your bank account, credit card numbers and basically anything financial. Including itemizing your assets. Also, don't hand out your social security number freely. Oh, and it's not wise to discuss songfight with strangers either... but you all knew that one already.

i can't even get my friends interested in songfight. i might just be a crappy salesman.

politics...religion and how much weed you smoke..if you're into that kinda thing.

...you know, I tend to break most of these "rules"... I find sharing intimate details with absolute strangers both fascinating and liberating.

....so how big is it J$?

Exclaiming loudly about your amusement of the morgue being across the hall from the x-ray pick up room. Apparently it's just not a good thing to do...

I have a sneaking suspicion that Luke Henley is pumping us for a list-style lyric to use at one of his now infamous live performances. Perhaps I just think it would make a good title ...

The fact that the person across the table from you is a closet transsexual and doesn't want <em>you</em> to know about it, much less everyone else at the crowded bar.

Also, a true story... yesterday on the bus I sat down next to this girl who was a bit, shall we say, overweight (if by "a bit" we mean "about a hundred pounds"). The whole time she was yammering on and on to some friend on her cellphone about her uterine cancer and about how for the last week she's been on some medication for it which made her burn too much energy and boosted her metabolism so she was "hungry all the time." I had to bite my tongue to keep from saying one of about a dozen mean things I could think of.

Anyway, then she started talking about how her best friend was a cutter and so on, and sharing all sorts of interestingly TMI stuff with everyone on the bus.

something similar to this happened to me this summer. it was a really creepy middle aged woman who kept coming into the you pick blueberry farm where i worked and sitting in our "employee chairs." i guess she went to the bathroom in the middle of the blueberry field at one point. i don't know which number.

anyways, she liked to tell us about her "belly full of tumors." not the kind of thing you want to hear when you're eating a sandwich.

This happened to me about 10 years ago. I had just learned about trepanation (the act of drilling a hole through your skull, oftentimes by yourself with a powertool) and I was telling someone about it while we were in line at Walmart at about 3 in the morning. And there was like one cashier open, and the line was moving slower than crap. So I was passing time with this story.

And I'm getting into it, and explaining all the details of this one person's journey from Milan to a hole in her head, and the guy in front of us in line turns around and says "Yeah, trepaning's pretty cool."

"I guess. It seems kind of out there to me."

"Well, if you wanna see 'cool', then check this out." And he take off his hat to reveal his shaved head, and turns back around, so that I can see that there are two deep cuts that start at the top of his neck and head down his back, one on either side of his spine. "It goes all the way down," he said, and then lifted his shirt to show us that indeed, the scars travelled the entire length of his spine. There were no stitches, it was just like he was doing weirdo surgery on himself with the help of friends.

I was totally dumbfounded. I really didn't want to learn anything else about him and his homesurgery scars. I knew that if I said anything else, then he would have an opening to respond, so I just turned to the person I was with and changed the subject and started talking about something else entirely. It was the freakiest thing I've ever seen up close and personal.

So my vote is for "trepanation".
