Crazy Eights

timly batted his eyelashes.

8 random factoids about yours truly, now without the nagging responsibility of tagging anyone else explicitly. Do it if you wanna.

- My first illicit alcoholic drink was creme de menthe and coca-cola classic. Yes, it's as vile as it sounds.
- I was on the radio as a kid for knowing the dimensions of the US Flag outside of Perkins restaurants
- I used to have my IRC handle on my license plates
- I haven't owned a bicycle since 1990, when my last one was stolen.
- Despite beginning college with a dual major in philosophy and mechanical engineering, I had no fucking idea who John Galt was.
- Internal Affairs is the only movie I've ever walked out of. Wild at Heart is the one I most wish I had.
- I have come to blows over a video game. I won both the fight and the game in question.
- A career in massage therapy would be viable if I could guarantee that none of my clients would skeeve me out.

And you can guarantee that in IT?

Why not just tell the skeevy ones to frakk off? If you go into business for yourself, you'd have the happiness of doing what you want PLUS the happiness of telling nasty (physically and mentally) customers to disappear!

Just a thought. :)

- I have come to blows over a video game. I won both the fight and the game in question.

this is the kind of thing that i wish i would've thought of for my list! bizzar historical points. (like...)

when i was about 11 or so, my cousins and brother (who were all older) and i would play a game called 'socky'. we removed the furniture from my cousin's room, put twin matress up against one wall, box spring up against the other, stuffed pillows up our shirts and played a wacked-out version of pairs tennis-soccer on our knees with a rolled-up pair of socks. points were scored for hitting the mattresses behind your opponents. you couldn't catch the 'socky', you had to trap it by falling on it. hence the pillows.

unfortunately, the mattress was not of the thoroughly killed and dried from squornshellous zeta variety. they might not have hurt as much falling on top of you if they had been.

What were those dimensions. I just remember they were big. Really big. And they never followed the rules for flying a flag (well, the ones regarding taking it down in inclement weather).

Bicycle: I don't remember that happening? Was that the one with the funky orange frame?

Video Game: Which video game and who was it?

1. 20 by 30 feet

2. Red mountain bike (Sears, $85); it, an umbrella, and twelve bucks in change in the volvo, were stolen out of my parents' garage. I'd had it for like three weeks.

3. This was at Fredonia: Mortal Kombat (1 or 2) on the Sega Genesis; Steve the Jew programmed Tanya's special move onto one of the special keys, and would just press it over and over. Mid-game, I got tired of calling him a cheating sack of shit and slugged him,; Scorpion won the match despite StJ's cheating ways. I threw the controller at him, told him what I thought of his tactics, and never played again.
