Five Weird Things
Hockey Blogger style, Mike Chen has tagged me. So without further delay:
Five Weird Things About Me
1. I have no idea what model of car I drive. Unless I think about it for 10 minutes or check my insurance papers. (It’s a fairly new car. I think I’m supposed to know this.)
2. I can touch my nose with my tongue. (Not useful on resumes but it used to impress boys in bars.)
3. I can enjoy horror movies and books 24/7, but if a spider the size of a dime walks across the living room floor, I’m standing on a chair and screaming bloody murder.
4. I have no middle name. This seems to stress people out who are convinced I’m hiding something sinister like “Gertrude”.
5. I’ve lived in 5 different countries: Canada, United States, England, Wales and Ireland. I’ve had passports for 4 of them.
Now I shall tag 5 other bloggers with this evil little project (*don’t blame me; blame Mike Chen):
Post-Pessimist Association - Sidearm Delivery - Battle of California’s Earl - The Ice Block and Sports Guy North
P.S. You don’t have to tag 5 people if you don’t want, or anybody, for that matter. I just nailed five people to be sure to spread the joy…;-)

Great. Thanks for the honor. :\
Can all five facts be pornographic?
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:40 pm
Of course. This ain’t Disneyland.
(For those of you that are suddenly worried: No, there can be no pornographic facts. This IS - in fact - Disneyland…)
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:44 pm
Wait. Now I’m confused. You contradict yourself, VCOE person.
Also, can I just tag you back five times, forcing you to tell 25 more weird facts about yourself?
August 3rd, 2006 at 6:47 pm
You can, I suppose. But I’m so normal it’ll just bore everyone to death.

I’m with you on the spider thing. Snakes don’t bother me at all. But there could be a spider the size of a pen point and I’d flip out. My family loves to tease me about that one…
August 3rd, 2006 at 7:33 pm
I’m not good with spiders. It’s embarassing.
Then again, I’m living on Vancouver Island. The only time spiders out here are smaller than a dime is during their first 10 minutes of life. After a couple days growth spurt, even my dog is afraid of some of these freakin’ spiders…
August 3rd, 2006 at 8:04 pm
Wait, by the time I get around to doing this, I’m gonna run out of bloggers to “tag”.
Couldn’t we just tag one person each?
August 3rd, 2006 at 8:07 pm
Tag one, tag none. It’s up to you. As long as I get to read YOUR weird things, I don’t care!
August 3rd, 2006 at 8:15 pm
OK, I kept up my part of the deal.
And if it helps, I haven’t thought of a middle name to go between “Earl” and “Sleek” yet.
August 3rd, 2006 at 8:57 pm
“Looks”
August 3rd, 2006 at 10:25 pm
I hope you’re happy, Lady VCOE.
I.
Hope.
You’re.
Happy.
Go here.

Nice list. My dad has no middle name too. Take that as you will.
My list is up, if you care to see what an “evil Avs fan” has to offer.

I have to shoot who in the what now?
August 4th, 2006 at 8:04 am
I’ve really enjoyed reading everyone’s list that I’ve seen so far.
This might not have been a bad idea after all. Certainly I now know some new things about various hockey acquaintances that I never would have learned normally.
Y’all are very good sports, too.

Is it still Disneyland if we ask for pictoral proof of the tongue / nose thing
August 4th, 2006 at 11:26 am
Ha ha. Nope — that ain’t Disneyland!
August 4th, 2006 at 11:54 am
there, i found a few minutes to fit it in at work… hope you like it…
oh… and TAG back kinda…
August 4th, 2006 at 1:17 pm
Nice try, Kent. One TAG per blog! I will tell Jeff you called him out, but I wouldn’t hold your breath…
August 4th, 2006 at 7:22 pm
I have no middle name. This seems to stress people out who are convinced I’m hiding something sinister like “Gertrude”.
Those silly people. Clearly you’re a “Matilda.”
August 4th, 2006 at 7:25 pm
‘Alanah Matilda’… sounds like a song. Probably a really, really bad song.
August 4th, 2006 at 8:58 pm
Mine’s up.
But be warned.
August 4th, 2006 at 9:36 pm
Outstanding, Brushback!
And everybody, well done. I’m surprised everyone was game to do this. Seemed kind of dumb to me at first, but I’ll admit I’ve sure learned a lot about some of my favourite sports bloggers in the last 24 hours…
August 5th, 2006 at 12:32 am
Don’t be too suprised. There’s a lot of personality out there. I’m happy they bring it to the hockey world. Hockey needs more of it.
