[Orsino]

16. I am unable to conceive of such a thing! n/t

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

3. No feathers on me, so I couldn't be hatched.

"Born" was the only option.

[Cabcere]

5. Well, I held out for three days, but in the end

I guess I had to show up after all. :P

(I'm not sure whether you're looking for a "my-parents-got-bored" answer or a "my-purpose-in-life-is-..." answer, so I just followed MrCoffee's lead.) :crazy: :hi:

[redqueen]

17. According to my parents

to help send this world to hell in a handbasket - that's what they told me last year, anyway.

The original story was that they were "consoling" each other the day Bobby Kennedy was killed. I still don't know how I feel about that.

[Capn Sunshine]

18. Because my parents were married 9 months to the day previously

That's their story and they are stickin' to it.

[Dangerously Amused]

19. Both my parents and I needed to be punished for bad things we did in our past lives.

Really, really bad things. Apparently.

[ordinaryaveragegirl]

22. Too much fun during spring break?

I was conceived in Florida sometime during April, 1975. You do the math LOL.

Supposedly I was planned. I don't buy it.

[5thGenDemocrat]

23. Well, mom said I was conceived on Valentine's Day

So I suppose it had to do with the fact that my dad was a charming rogue (who looked like John Garfield).
John
A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and moi.

[zanne]

24. So I can be a pain in the ass in the gun forum. nt

[dropkickpa]

Spring fever and all. I have 2 brothers born in September, 2 born in October, me born in November, and a brother born in March.

[MonkeyFunk]

26. To put my left foot in

to take my left foot out. To put my left foot in and shake it all about.

[arbusto_baboso]

27. Well, I wasn't gonna stay where I was!!!!

Which is oddly ironic, because as a man, I've spent most of my life trying to get back *in* places just like it!

[skater314159]

28. 'Cause my parents hooked up and...

... my mom didn't get an abortion?

[tigereye]

34. my parents were Catholic?

:P

[MotorCityMan]

41. Back during the holidays in '63

my parents were trying to be "good" Catholics by following the rhythm method, the only birth control sanctioned by the Church. My brother was a little over a year old.

Suprise, Suprise! It didn't work, and on 8/31/64, I showed up.

I have met many people from my age group who were conceived under the same circumstances.

[tigereye]

44. there are 5 of us...

I haven't had too many conversations with mom about what method she used..... :hide:

[MotorCityMan]

54. Eeewww! I don't chat about that stuff with mom!

She accidentally let that fact slip out one time when we were talking. She was then all worried that I thought they didn't want me. Actually I found it rather funny.

[TommyO]

45. We very well could have been conceived on the same day!

I was born on 8/19/64, but decided to make my entrance to this world about a week-and-a-half before my due date of 8/31/64!

I also happen to be gay, and at the very least you support equality. Very cool.

[MotorCityMan]

53. My partner and I tend to argue about gay marriage

He says how he doesn't have to prove his love and commitment with a wedding.

I say, fuck that, I don't need to prove anything, I just want the same rights as married couples. I lost my first partner to cancer and was able to see first hand how little rights you have as a couple. Thank god his family liked me and were very supportive.

[northzax]

36. Cause it seemed like a good idea at the time?

[madinmaryland]

52. To say this on DU...

On January 24th, 2009, in the oval office of the new Democratic president:

The Secretary of Defense is giving the President the daily briefing. The SecDef concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

The President's staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and says, "One Brazilian is too many! I am glad that we are beginning to draw down our presence in Iraq and put an end to this long national nightmare."

:evilgrin:

[grannylib]

55. Because two people had sex and conceived me, I guess...

Otherwise, to try to make anyplace I am a little better for having been there, or at least not to make it worse *lol*
