Eight Random Facts About Me

Phelony isn't tagging anyone, but because her post involves the magic number 8, I feel compelled to provide my own list.  The reason of course being that 8 is a nice even binary multiple, and it's too hard to resist.  And in that spirit, I'm also going to count starting with zero.

Random Item 0:  I used to have a lop eared bunny named Buster.  And yes he was named after the cartoon character.  Had I gotten a girl bunny, she would have been named Babs.

Random Item 1:  When I have ice cream at home, I eat it out of coffee mug.  I like the convenience of having a handle, and not getting my hands cold holding a dish.

Random Item 2:  I have three older sisters, all of whom were born in Wisconsin and now live in California.  I was born in California and now life in Wisconsin.

Random Item 3:  I've never broken a bone, and never had any sort of major surgery.  Yep, I have my tonsils, adenoids and appendix.

Random Item 4:  I've never been roller skating, roller blading or ice skating.  I don't have any particular aversion to these activities, it just so happens I've never done them.

Random Item 5:  I once met Richard Moll who played Bull Shannon on Night Court at the top of the Sears Tower in Chicago as a kid.  Somewhere I have a picture where you can barely see my head, and he is resting his arm on my head.

Random Item 6:  I have memorized the lyrics to a lot of Neil Diamond songs. It's not because I was the member of a Neil Diamond cover band either. This fact I can blame squarely on my mother, who absolutely loves Neil Diamond, and who only played his tapes in her car when I was growing up. Love him or hate him... if you hear Forever in Blue Jeans enough times as a kid, it'll sink in.

Random Item 7:  I always carry a pocket knife with me.  I swear I'm one of the few people around who does any more, and all my friends know I do, and know to come to me if they need a knife for a minute.  It always makes me sad when they can't figure out how to close it again when they're done, since it has a locking blade.

I am all about the use of the coffee mug for ice cream. And sometimes I throw cocoa powder on it. Or a little bit of half and half because it freezes :)

The cocoa powder thing reminds me of my favorite sundae... the Dusty Road. Vanilla ice cream, topped with malted milk powder, hot fudge or chocolate sauce, a little whipped cream and a cherry. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

Only a programmer would start their list at zero vs one.
