I have been tagged by Cord for the 8 Random Things Meme, where you spout off little known tidbits about yourself.
When tagged, you must also pass the ball to 8 other bloggers.
Ladies and gentlemen, let’s get ready to Rambbbllleeee…
- Living in a sub-tropical country for several years, I was the only kid who’s mother had 2 different kinds of anti-venom in the fridge. She coudln’t convince me to stop catching scorpions and vipers with my bare hands and that was the next best thing to do.
- Once a Promoter in a famous nightclub, I shared the VIP booth with Metallica, forever shattering the cool image of them my mind adhered to.
- I have long hermit periods where I can go days without uttering a single word. In fact I refused to own a telephone for long periods of time.
- Much to my gastro-intestinal system’s dismay, I will try just about any new food imaginable. Except reproductive organs and eyeballs.
- I am a rabid hockey fan. Go Habs Go.
- I love to cook elaborate meals with top quality ingredients. Particularly seafood. I have passed most courses required for sommelier certification.
- At 18 years old, I read most of the Harvard Classics 5 Foot Shelf of Books. I thought it would make me smarter, get me laid and allow me to be an insufferable pain in the ass on demand. Turns out I wasn’t entirely wrong.
- At 10 years of age, I crossed the Atlas Mountains on donkey back. The trip took 3 days. The gastric experience derived from sharing hand eaten pigeon couscous with unwashed Berbers should have been an indication of things to come, but I was to have none of it.
There you have it. I guess my life hasn’t been that boring after all.

Like a chain letter but only half the calories.
Number of the Day:
1432: people on Earth, in the last minute, who just realized that life isn’t fair. How quaint.

Hey Ray,
Ah, yes, I had a feeling you would say that.
I would insert a clever Maple Leafs dig here, but there are so many to choose from…

Hey Alex,
Thats funny about snakes and scorpions…
I used to catch snakes and swing them in big circle over my head and let it go…. to hit the other kids while they were screaming and running away
When I was little, when fishing I could not get hook out, so we M80 and blew it out…or just kept slapping fish on pole from side to side, casting way out hoping it would fall off….
Once I cimbed the tree and I knocked down that big giant grey hornet nest, before I could climb down that tree I was dead meat and got my ass stung ….worse than any cobra bite or scorpian bite
LOL
PS - Maybe we can meet one day at seminar and I will teach you exclusive private martial arts secrets…Project Black Belt….

Hey Bob,
Fish have feelings to you know
Although I guess the hornet experience is nature’s justice for that.
Are you offering me actual martial arts training or to beat up your dealer until they sell me a car below cost?
Either way, the answer is yes

[…] Alex Goad of Net Frontier Marketing tagged me for the 8 Random Things Meme: If participating, you’re supposed to divulge some personal trivia not everyone is likely to know about. (Though it’s quite feasible that nobody wants to, either, heh.) […]
