1389 of 1389 Mobile Blog whacked me via e-mail with the following:

Players start with 8 random facts about themselves. Those who are tagged should post these rules and their 8 random facts. Players should tag eight other people and notify them that they have been tagged.

I'm feeling lazy, so you'll get 5 random facts and 3 taggees. Victims may either play by the original rules, my rules, or just make up their own damn rules.

Hey... it's a free internet.

Note to callers: "Hey, it's me" is not helpful. Please use your name.

2) I once traded a coffee pot for a Koosh Ball. I still have the Koosh ball. It's green & purple.

3) I once traded a high-mileage '85 Honda Accord hatchback (which sustained major front end damage in an accident, but ran fine) for a Braun coffee grinder. I still have the coffee grinder.

I also kept the car. As it turned out, the guy who gave me the coffee grinder never filed for a new title. The guy HE sold it to never filed for a new title either. THAT guy abandoned it in the parking lot of a Goodwill store. Since it was still in my name, I got a parking ticket and had to arrange for the car's removal. Sadly, the car was no longer running fine, and I let some salvage yard scavenger keep the wreck in exchange for towing it.

4) I don't like Maglites for two reasons; first, turning the lens counterclockwise to turn the light on feels WRONG. If you want a light to come on, you should turn it clockwise - like screwing a bulb into a socket.

Second, unlike thumb-switch lights, after you turn on a Maglite, your hand is not in a comfortable carrying position. You have to adjust your grip, which either requires using your other hand or involves an awkward finger-shuffling maneuver.

I prefer the grab-thumb-go type of flashlight.

5) I miss Jim Henson

Next Victims... I feel like picking on the new kids:
