I'm stealing this from my friend WebBetty 'cause it's a little more unique than those other personal surveys you seem to always get.
A book I own that I think none of my friends own:
Hmmmm...perhaps I'm stretching the rules a bit here since I wouldn't say I'm what most people would call a "reader". So I'm gonna reach in to my small cookbook collection and say the one unique book I have is titled Favorite Old Recipes, privately printed in 1927 and is one of only 1,000 copies.
A movie that I own that I believe non of my friends own:
I'm a pretty big Jackie Chan fan. I'm gonna say the movie that I own that my friends do not is the movie "Miracles" starring Jackie Chan, and the late great Anita Mui.
An album that I own that none of my friends own:
This one is pretty easy in that I'm pretty sure most of my albums most of my friends don't own. I'm gonna go with an album titled "In the Whiskey Ya-yas" by a band called The American Girls. A band out of Eugene, OR in the late 90's that I saw perform live a couple times. I don't think they've put anything new out in a long time, or that they're even still together.
Name a place that I have visited that I don't think any of my friends have been:
This one is hard since...don't you usually travel with friends? Hmmm....oh I know; work travel.
I'll say Kalispel, Montana. I traveled there for a installation and training of our software package...back when I still worked in software.
Name a piece of technology or any tool that you own that you think none of your friends own:
This is a fun one. I own a vintage Harmon/Kardon A-402 amplifier. Built in 1977; this model was only available for one year.
So there we have it. Please feel free to do the same on your blog, or what-have-you, and share!

Scene #009
Characters: Me, Adult Female Customer
*Action*
Customer: Now, what's this thing here? [points in to pastry case]
Me: It's like a sandwich, but it's folded flatbread.
Customer: Oh I see. Does it come in four pieces?
Me: [Looks at Customer puzzled] I can show you what one looks like; how it comes.
[Mr. Method goes to the fridge and pulls out one of the square folded flatbread sandwiches, and holds it up so the Customer can see.]
Me: See, it looks like this.
Customer: Ah yes, ok. But if you cut it up it's four pieces right?
[Mr. Method looks at Customer quizzically]
[Customer continues to look at Mr. Method expectantly]
[Mr. Method continues to stare at Customer, lost for words]
[Customer continues to stare at Mr. Method]
...
Me: Sure.

Scene #007
Characters: Myself, Guy
*Action*
Me: Man, it's amazing. You spend a few extra dollars on a pen and the difference in writing feel is huge.
Guy: That's great man. Pen technology has come a long way.
Me: I dunno...I think ever since the pen that you turned upside down and the woman's clothes came off was the pinnacle of pen technology. It's been downhill from there.
Guy: What about the space pen that can write in zero gravity?
Me: Oh yeah! 'Cause you'll never know when you'll be in outerspace with the sudden need to draw a Liger and have no way to do it.
[Both laugh]
