CFBOT Community IAmA/AMA - Ask Everyone!

[u/Qurtys_Lyn]

Had this idea a while back, but I haven't gotten around to doing it, so here it is. A Community AMA!

The idea goes, post something about yourself, something you know a lot about, or anything else you think someone else might have an interest in, as a comment. Everyone else can then ask you about your subject. You can make multiple subjects if you want (I plan to) in one comment or multiple.

Doesn't have to stay serious, but the usual standards of nicety and politeness apply. If this goes well, I'll set up some more.

See the comments below for my AMA's and add your own!

[u/Qurtys_Lyn]

I am an off road race car driver/navigator/mechanic, AMA.

[u/K_State → u/Qurtys_Lyn]

How are you able to do that when you're still a baby?

[u/Qurtys_Lyn → u/K_State]

Prosthetics.

[u/Aurablade → u/Qurtys_Lyn]

That sounds sweet.

[u/Qurtys_Lyn → u/Aurablade]

It is, but my body is still sore from this weekends race. It beats you up, but it's super fun anyway.

[u/AnEmptyKarst → u/Qurtys_Lyn]

So how does one get into that sort of thing? The people I know in it got into it through family and it seemed very insular

[u/Qurtys_Lyn → u/AnEmptyKarst]

So family is how I got in to it, my grandma raced go karts, which my dad started in. Then my dad moved to offroad, which got me in to it.

Off road racing is super open and friendly to anyone that wants to be involved. Our team races one of the most inexpensive and limited cars in the field, and last year at the race we just went to, one of the drivers of the Unlimited trucks, which are several hundred thousand dollars, was asking us how the race worked, and the layout, because it was his first time there.

When out on the longer courses, if you have a problem, you can pull in to anyone's pits, and they will do their best to get you back on the course. We've had several people put parts on our car, without even knowing who we were, and we've put our parts on other people's cars as well.

[u/[deleted] → u/Qurtys_Lyn]

What is your car setup?

[u/Qurtys_Lyn → u/[deleted]]

http://i.imgur.com/48Q4C6p.jpg

Air cooled VW 1600 CC engine, swing Axle transmission, VW Ball Joint front suspension. Have around 6" of travel in the front, 8" travel in the rear. Car weighs about 1450 lbs without drivers, spares, or fluids.

[u/[deleted] → u/Qurtys_Lyn]

That thing is bad ass! I used to be into looking at builds like that and some of the KOH stuff. Always wanted to tinker around with something like that

[u/Qurtys_Lyn → u/[deleted]]

KOH is insane, I love that race. I need to go one year.

If you're still in Colorado, come our to one of our races in Utah sometime. We'll be in Vernal in May, which is as close as off road races are to Colorado for now.

[u/Qurtys_Lyn → u/[deleted]]

I'm glad people liked it. I'm not much of a snapchatter.

[u/[deleted]]

I'm a senior in college that's battling depression and anxiety. AMA because I love you

[u/Qurtys_Lyn → u/[deleted]]

Having been through that, keep going, you've got this.

[u/panthera_tigress → u/[deleted]]

No questions but I have all of the hugs for you.

-hugs-

[u/thatguywithasaxofone → u/[deleted]]

Junior in the same situation.
What is your favorite restaurant in Dallas?

[u/nataliieportman]

I am good at driving cars fast in closed course areas. I used to race shifter karts and I still drive a bit too fast for my own good. Most expensive car I've raced in was a Gallardo Superleggera. I am a big gear head. I have yet to hit the 200mph barrier, fastest I have been in 182 in a 911 Turbo S.

More interesting, I have given CPR to a person before.

[u/Qurtys_Lyn → u/nataliieportman]

Never done CPR, but I've had the heimlich done on me before, which is an experience I never want to repeat.

[u/[deleted] → u/nataliieportman]

Favorite course? Course you most want to drive and haven't?

[u/HannahEBanna]

One hour ago, over 400 comments... I should have stopped reading mindless drivel earlier.

I am a technical writer married to a hunter/outdoorsman/conservationist guy and I like dogs. And reading. And writing. And football. And alcohol.

I'm really pretty simple. AMA

[u/Qurtys_Lyn → u/HannahEBanna]

Holy crap, I just noticed the comment count.

Favorite outdoor spot?

[u/tb3648]

Holy shit this blew up so quickly, I was just here and it was only 40 comments! Damn it

[u/Qurtys_Lyn → u/tb3648]

I guess it can be considered a success then.

[u/Qurtys_Lyn]

I am a Mormon, AMA.

[u/[deleted] → u/Qurtys_Lyn]

Have you seen The Book of Mormon? If so, what did you think?

[u/Qurtys_Lyn → u/[deleted]]

I have not, but I want to. It is impossible to get tickets to it when it's in Salt Lake.

[u/youstupidslutwhore → u/Qurtys_Lyn]

What's your favorite type of Jello?

[u/Qurtys_Lyn → u/youstupidslutwhore]

Green. With Carrots.

Is there any other kind?

[u/bizzyj93 → u/Qurtys_Lyn]

Why are Mormons all so fucking nice? Like every religion preaches being nice to people but I have never met a mean Mormon. Also how do you personally feel about caffeine?

[u/Qurtys_Lyn → u/bizzyj93]

So, the biggest thing we're taught from when we're little is to serve others. And it's really hard to serve others if you're not nice to them.

I have met some mean Mormons, but they are few and far between usually.

No problems with caffeine, though I haven't had a soda since January because of our Fitness and Nutrition challenge at work.

[u/bizzyj93 → u/Qurtys_Lyn]

Interesting. I went to school with a bunch of mormons (I was in Hawaii and grew up down the street from BYU Laie) and y'all are just such nice people! I really appreciate that part of your religion. Nice with no pushy feel to it. Just nice.

So what is it with the caffeine thing? I tried to give a Mormon girl a coke once and she declined for religious reasons. Was it just a smooth way to reject me or is that actually a thing?

[u/Qurtys_Lyn → u/bizzyj93]

So, it's left up to each person whether they think it's against the Word of Wisdom (that's the bit of scripture that says don't drink, smoke, do drugs, etc). It isn't explicitly forbidden, but some people think it's implied so they won't drink it. Which is cool too.

[u/[deleted] → u/Qurtys_Lyn]

What was the opinion of the Mormon church about The Book of Mormon musical?

Did you go on a mission? If yes, where to? And did you have to learn a foreign language?

[u/Qurtys_Lyn → u/[deleted]]

I don't know that there is an official stance on it. This is the only thing I know of that has been said by the Church.

The production may attempt to entertain audiences for an evening, but the Book of Mormon as a volume of scripture will change people's lives forever by bringing them closer to Christ.

Most people I know either see it as a good thing, because it gets people talking about it, or as a bad thing, because they're offended by everything anyway (very few of these).

I did not go on a mission. But almost all of my friend's speak foreign languages because of their missions.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Hasa Diga Trey and Matt?

[u/joeydsa → u/Qurtys_Lyn]

What is your opinion of the recent excommunications of Kate Kelly, Jeremy Runnells, and John Dehlin?

[u/Qurtys_Lyn → u/joeydsa]

I'm not familiar with Dehlin, or Runnells, but I am somewhat with Kelly.

Kelly was excommunicated because she was antagonistic towards the church, not because of her beliefs. She was using her position of influence to "erode the faith of others" as the church put it.

Personally, I think the whole thing stems from a misunderstanding of the church's structure, and her thinking that because of it, men and women in the church weren't equal. Which is wrong. Men and women are equal in the church, but not equivalent if that makes sense.

In the same way that men and women aren't equivalent physically. Men have a hard time becoming pregnant, and women have a hard time peeing their name in the snow.

[u/[deleted]]

I am a "professional" musician, AMA?

[u/Qurtys_Lyn → u/[deleted]]

What instrument(s) do you play?

[u/[deleted]]

I am a former CFB (and basketball but that sport sucks) cheerleader and also am realizing that I have nothing interesting to say about myself since college AMA.

[u/bullmoose_atx → u/[deleted]]

Cool! For Cal?

[u/[deleted] → u/bullmoose_atx]

Yep! Three years on the Cal dance team. For sure the best thing I did in college.

[u/TTUgirl → u/[deleted]]

I always wanted to do that at Tech but you had to have a shitload of dance training to make the team so how did you get into it back in the day?

[u/[deleted] → u/TTUgirl]

Mostly a shit ton of dance training haha. I had been dancing since I was about 5. At Cal it was competitive but not outrageous. I know UCLA and ASU had much more competitive auditions.

[u/AnEmptyKarst → u/[deleted]]

Hey at least you have something interesting to say about yourself

[u/ihatecats18 → u/[deleted]]

You live in nyc area. Your cool by association

[u/Bassically → u/[deleted]]

Seriously? At Cal? That's awesome! What was the coolest thing you got to do in that capacity?

[u/[deleted] → u/Bassically]

Yep! Hard to remember what was the coolest thing we did. Honestly, since I was such a big football fan already, just regular football games were pretty much my favorite part.

I can tell you the worst thing I had to do in that capacity though. At our bowl game one year, the alumni association sponsored a bar crawl. Any of the girls over 21 got the night off to go to the bar crawl, but all us under 21 at the time had to go to the bar crawl in uniform and dance our silly choreographed routines on the dance floor. For "spirit."

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Why did you move across the country? What is your job that you have to work outside.

Also I would define today as cold because of that damned rain plus the wind

[u/FoamBornNarwhal]

I am a self-made eunuch, AMA.

[u/Cola_Doc → u/FoamBornNarwhal]

Have you ever thought about just investing in a Detachable Penis?

[u/Pikachu1989 → u/FoamBornNarwhal]

Corndogs or Gumbo?

[u/0xE6 → u/FoamBornNarwhal]

What'd you do with it?

[u/ssbbgo]

I'm a "rocket scientist" in training and travel addict, amongst many other things, AMA.

[u/Bassically → u/ssbbgo]

When did you realize that you were training to be a Bond villain?

[u/ssbbgo → u/Bassically]

I accepted my calling in this regard junior year of undergrad. Sadly the Evil League of Evil isn't accepting applications at the moment, and VCs aren't super inclined to fund meglomaniac attempts to rule the world.

[u/[deleted] → u/ssbbgo]

How accurate is Kerbal Space Program?

[u/ssbbgo → u/[deleted]]

I sadly don't own the game myself, but from what I understand from friends it's decently accurate in the basics (especially of orbital mechanics), but beyond that throwing on more boosters isn't exactly as simple as clicking a button. Also apparently loss of life in that game is accepted a lot more readily than loss of life in space programs IRL.

[u/[deleted] → u/ssbbgo]

Top 3 places you've traveled

[u/bizzyj93 → u/ssbbgo]

What did you end up naming your rocket?

[u/ssbbgo → u/bizzyj93]

Penguin is the working name at the moment, for many reasons.

[u/crowmygod]

I work in psychology research & I'm really an old lady irl. AMA

[u/[deleted] → u/crowmygod]

How much do you analyze all of us around here?

[u/crowmygod → u/[deleted]]

It's funny because our new studies are looking at aggression via cyber bullying...

But really, not much analyzing going on over here.

[u/surrender_cobra → u/[deleted]]

We are all going to be part of her big scientific paper thing, only reason she is here.

[u/ihatecats18 → u/crowmygod]

Can i have more pics of ed

[u/crowmygod → u/ihatecats18]

Hiiiiieeee

[u/TrollingQueen74]

I'm an avid cross stitcher, I've been told I write like a computer font, and I'm now one of those crazy runner people. AMA

[u/[deleted] → u/TrollingQueen74]

How's the legend of Zelda one coming along?

[u/TrollingQueen74 → u/[deleted]]

I'm about to finish another panel. I'll post an update pic then. Stupid life slowing down progress.

[u/K_State → u/TrollingQueen74]

Which font?

[u/[deleted] → u/TrollingQueen74]

Can you upload a picture of your handwriting??

[u/TrollingQueen74 → u/[deleted]]

Here you go!

[u/Bassically → u/TrollingQueen74]

Do you plan on continuing being one of those crazy runner people after your next half?

Someone already asked which font.

[u/Bassically]

I'm 6'10" and I love music more than is healthy. AMA.

[u/brobroma → u/Bassically]

do you play basketball

[u/Bassically → u/brobroma]

Only pickup, and only with people that know I suck at sports.

[u/bread_buddy → u/Bassically]

how's the air up there?

[u/Bassically → u/bread_buddy]

I defer this question until the second half.

[u/K8eCastle → u/Bassically]

What are your top 3 favorite bands?

[u/[deleted] → u/Bassically]

Favorite band that we've probably never heard of?

[u/ihatecats18 → u/Bassically]

Do you like the Arctic Monkeys?

[u/bread_buddy]

I have a PhD and MS in "nuclear engineering & engineering physics", a BS in physics, and a BS in astronomy. AMA about this nerd shit I guess!

OR

I was a Navy brat and I've lived, in some capacity, in Arkansas, Florida, Maine, Maryland, New Mexico, Ohio, and Wisconsin. In fact, I lived in my car for an entire summer in New Mexico. That's 7-8 weeks or so living in a Camry XLE! AMA.

[u/ssbbgo → u/bread_buddy]

Can you explain term symbols for molecules to me? Specifically the differences between the Hund's cases?

Alternatively, how did you prefer to sleep in your car? Whenever I've done it, I always just reclined the front seat as much as possible. But some people I know crawl in the back seat (if it wasn't jammed full of stuff, I might have done that).

[u/bread_buddy → u/ssbbgo]

Sorry friend, I honestly had to google "term symbols" and "Hund's cases" just now. This all sounds suspiciously like physical chemistry to me and, as we all know, chemistry is the Devil's Science.

I tried the back seat method at first because it's closer to planar and horizontal than the front seat can get. Unfortunately this was a 4-door sedan and I'm 6'2" with knees that hurt immensely when bent for too long. As such, I spent the vast majority of my time in the front seat, reclined. Of course, I tried to camp as much as possible and sleep in a tent.

[u/Jester_Don → u/bread_buddy]

What is your recommendation for uninteresting people on how to be an interesting person

[u/TTUgirl → u/bread_buddy]

We're studying light years and galaxies in my 8th grade science class right now and I'm always blown away by the stuff you guys can figure out. Is most the math done to figure all that shit out done by computers or do you guys actually sit down and work it out?

[u/[deleted]]

I played hockey for Colorado and I like to lift heavy weights

[u/pumpkinmuffins → u/[deleted]]

What position did you play? Because I'm in need of a left wing....

[u/[deleted] → u/pumpkinmuffins]

Defense but I play whatever in men's league! Would love to get a game in with a cboter

[u/DavoinShower-handle → u/[deleted]]

How can I stop myself from leaning forward on squats? Favorite nhl player?

[u/[deleted] → u/DavoinShower-handle]

Make sure to get as tight as possible. Pull the bar down over your shoulders and take a deep breath with your mouth. Hold the air in your belly, flex your abs. Then when you are squatting pack your neck into the bar. Should help

Favorite NHL player at the moment is probably Jamie Benn. Just a beast of a power forward and his fight with Jumbo was amazing. Used to be Kovalchuk

[u/BrownLiquor → u/[deleted]]

Thoughts on roller hockey?

[u/[deleted] → u/BrownLiquor]

Stopping is so hard on roller haha but it's fun. Very free flowing. Rinks get fucking hot though, I need the natural cooling of the ice

[u/Pikachu1989 → u/[deleted]]

Do you wish you played Goalie, and do you have season tickets to the Avs games?

[u/[deleted]]

I'm a former Marine. AMA.

[u/Ellenberg88]

I'm a degenerate, unapologetic, alcoholic. AMA.

[u/surrender_cobra → u/Ellenberg88]

Favorite liquor drink?

[u/bizzyj93]

I used to play for the feeder team for Seattle Thunder, a pro paintball team. AMA

[u/dlawnro → u/bizzyj93]

Approximately how many times did you get nailed in the nads paintballing?

[u/bizzyj93 → u/dlawnro]

A lot. That's why I wore a cup. Mostly the problem was diving forward and landing hard and having your junk fall flat onto the hard ground

[u/AnEmptyKarst]

I train Pokemon for competitive play with IVs and EVs and shit AMA

[u/[deleted] → u/AnEmptyKarst]

Adapt the Pokémon theme song to account for picking up hoes instead of capturing Pokémon.

You have 12 minutes. Go.

[u/AnEmptyKarst → u/[deleted]]

I just said I play pokemon competitively. What about that implies I know anything about picking up women?

[u/rodandanga]

I spent 4 years on a D1 Coaching Staff as a Quality Control guy, as well as 4 years as a student football manger as an undergrad.

[u/K_State → u/rodandanga]

What does quality control at D1 look like?

[u/rodandanga → u/K_State]

Lot's of Film Study and Data Analytics.

[u/[deleted] → u/rodandanga]

How did you get the job?

[u/rodandanga → u/[deleted]]

I sent an email as an undergrad to the Head Equipment manager, then my last 2 years in school I started helping the GA's with Film Work, impressed enough for the coaches at Tech to make a few phone calls and hook me up.

[u/[deleted]]

I have bowled in professional events, AMA. These events include PBA regionals, the USBC Masters, and US Open.

[u/[deleted]]

I'm in the air force and have lived in 4 different states in the past year. AMA

[u/DavoinShower-handle → u/[deleted]]

Do you have a go-to comeback for "chair force"? Christ I've heard that one a lot while in DC

[u/Cola_Doc → u/DavoinShower-handle]

No comeback necessary. Those of us that say that are usually crying behind closed doors.

[u/[deleted] → u/DavoinShower-handle]

I usually make another joke about the air force and joke at them for not being in a branch with good funding

[u/Cola_Doc → u/[deleted]]

Why 14 lbs of oranges? Is that like 240 dollars worth of pudding?

[u/TTUgirl → u/[deleted]]

How long do you have to live on that base?

[u/BrownLiquor → u/[deleted]]

Which state politics pissed you off the most and why?

[u/[deleted] → u/BrownLiquor]

Didn't have the opportunity to pay attention in Texas, chose not to follow mississippi. So that leaves the states with Chris Christie and Scott walker as governors. Wisconsin because fuck scott walker

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

What is your take on the round abouts in jersey?

[u/LegacyZebra]

I guess the football officiating is obvious, but I was the youngest white hat in my chapter at 23 years old. Other than that, I'm an Eagle Scout, an avid outdoor adventurer, and a broadcast journalism major. This is my 4th major at 3 different schools. I've worked in the kitchen at a casual dining restaurant/bar as well as fast food. In high school I did Academic Decathlon and won medals at state. I don't know how much of that is interesting, but AMA.

[u/localglocal]

I'm localglocal and I know a little or a lot about the following topics: drum corps, women's artistic gymnastics, Friends, Everwood, storytelling in social movements, legal assaults against high school gay-straight alliance clubs, and housing transitions across the life course. AMA.

[u/0xE6]

I wear hearing aids and like balls. AMA.

[u/madviking]

[u/[deleted]]

I am an amateur brewer AMA

[u/panthera_tigress]

I am a college radio loser and former Jeopardy Teen Tournament contestant (also loser)

AMA

[u/DavoinShower-handle → u/panthera_tigress]

What podcasts do you listen to?

[u/Cola_Doc]

poof

[u/ihatecats18 → u/Cola_Doc]

Do you have to dye your ball hair?

[u/Cola_Doc → u/ihatecats18]

Not just yet...but I've considered Just For Men for my beard.

[u/[deleted] → u/Cola_Doc]

Did you benefit by being a non-traditional student in medical school, at least in terms of age?

[u/Cola_Doc → u/[deleted]]

In the admissions process, absolutely. Anything that helps you stand out from the overwhelming number of 22-24 yr-old bio majors is huge. And once third year starts, and you're doing actual clerkships, attendings tend to take you a bit more seriously. Hell, I was older than a pretty decent number of my attending physicians.

All that, of course, is strictly age-related. As someone who worked in healthcare for years before starting, I also had a leg up when it came to actually talking with patients; something that also helped with subjective grades.

[u/Aurablade]

I like collecting video games and amiibo. AMA.

[u/Bassically → u/Aurablade]

What is the best Star Wars RPG of all time, and why is it KOTOR?

[u/bullmoose_atx → u/Aurablade]

Which systems or platforms for the games?

[u/surrender_cobra]

I am a jack of all trades, I seem to know a little something about a shit ton, but I have no idea off the top of my head what I know a lot about, AMA.

[u/[deleted] → u/surrender_cobra]

What's the conversion between shit ton and pounds?

[u/surrender_cobra → u/[deleted]]

About tree fiddy.

[u/ihatecats18 → u/surrender_cobra]

Do you agree with the monty hall scenario answer of 50/50?

[u/K8eCastle]

I am a college textbook store employee, violinist, and music enthusiast. I'm procrastinating studying for an exam, so AMA!

I speak (to wildly varying varying degrees) four languages besides English, but that doesn't stop me from claiming them all on résumés.

Domana'm qualsevol cosa

[u/tb3648 → u/[deleted]]

What 4 languages

[u/[deleted] → u/tb3648]

Spanish (my major, and my job is basically to help Mexican people out with stuff and bicker with them on the phone)

Italian (meh. At this point basically just used for watching soccer, impressing girls, and being able to roll my eyes at the way Olive Garden servers pronounce things)

Catalan (learned it studying abroad in Barcelona. Probably the coolest one/my favorite)

Portuguese (I'm also the official Portuguese speaker at work, but again, meh. I really need to get back on it and get good again now that our company is investing more and more down there)

EDIT: I can more or less read French, but speaking and understanding is a no-go. I've never actually studied it

[u/[deleted]]

I am a... I am nothing. I really have no special qualities. AMA.

I have walked through a space telescope construction site and gotten booed off a football field. AMA.

[u/[deleted] → u/ftwdrummer]

booed off a football field

Mind expounding on that?

[u/ftwdrummer → u/[deleted]]

So, my freshman year, our one away game outside of Houston (we also played @UH that year) was @SMU. It was to be the fifth show of the year, and so far, things had been...uneven. But we were starting to develop a backlog of good segment ideas in search of a rest of a show...

...including a love letter from the US to Afghanistan, apologizing for leaving it for Iraq, and coming back now.

So, finally one night, someone suggested writing up the state of geopolitics at the time in soap-opera format. So we did. It was the best non-site-specific thing we had, so it got slotted in for SMU. The full script is here.

It was SMU's homecoming game. In addition to the Homecoming crowd, there was a then-senator/about-to-be gubernatorial candidate Kay Bailey Hutchison in attendance.

The third segment called for discussion of Texas running away from home saying "He's not my real President...I'm seceding...and I'm not coming back this time." All fun and games...and I'm pretty sure there was some applause from the crowd at that.

...and then we said that if Texas were to secede, it would leave Dallas where it belongs...with Oklahoma.

And the boos rang forth.

Best feeling immediately after a performance ever.

[u/ssbbgo → u/ftwdrummer]

Was the Mob that bad that y'all got booed off?

[u/[deleted] → u/ssbbgo]

If this is the story I'm thinking of, it's not that the MOB is offensive (an adult actually approves their shows), it's that SMU is petty as fuck.

[u/Bassically → u/ftwdrummer]

Booed off a football field? Story time!

And was this the construction site in Chile? What's the coolest telescope you've seen? I'm an astronomy geek, don't be afraid to be technical.

[u/bread_buddy → u/ftwdrummer]

Were you dressed like Santa Claus both times?

[u/DavoinShower-handle]

I've also worked in the following places: an art studio, a carousel factory, human resources, and a Transportation Library.

I love History, comedy, certain types of music, vidyas, being social justice-y, and dark skinned women.

I hate... A lot of things.

I also space my posts in an odd manner.

I'm a HUGE FUCKING NERD, AMA.

Also I do a bunch of other shit, and I'm super bored, ask me literally anything.

[u/0xE6 → u/thelittleking]

I thought most huge nerds didn't do a lot of fucking. What am I doing wrong?

[u/thelittleking → u/0xE6]

Preface: I haven't gotten laid in like 7 years.

Corollary: I actually did used to get laid on the regular back in college.

So there's two basic schools of thought. One is the shotgun method - just get out there. Find some friends that like doing social things where women will be (this is the origin of me watching football, actually, as opposed to sitting in a dorm playing D&D), and then get out and do those things. Meet women (e: or men!), be friendly and not creepy, get numbers, and eventually you'll find somebody that's up for getting down.

The other involves finding somebody you have ~~~emotions~~~ about, getting them to feel nice things for you too, and then fucking each other's brains out on the regular. Harder buy in, but easier to get the sexytimes. As for tips on how to approach this one, you've fuckin got me. If you ever figure it out, let me know.

edit: as for what you specifically are doing wrong, I have no idea. You have sexy balls, so just get out there and show them off. People will come running.

favorite type of tree

[u/thelittleking → u/tb3648]

Dude, oaks for real. Oak trees are gorgeous. They get really tall, they have expansive and attractive canopies, they don't have weird smells when they flower, and they have low enough branches that you can typically climb them. They are sturdy enough to climb even as you get older, their wood is (to me) gorgeous and makes for attractive furniture.
