Instead of a Real Post, Random Things about the Blogger

When I got my haircut in Dublin, Ireland, they played nothing but Elvis Presley.

When I was a kid, I ate peanut-butter, dill pickle, and potato-chip sandwiches.  Now at a minimum, I have one peanut-butter sandwich a week.  Often with cornchips or potato-chips in it.

I never got paid for posing nude once.  Even though I was supposed to.

As a kid my great-aunt would often give me a hammer and a mechanical alarm clock.  I would beat the hell out of it until I couldn’t get loose any more gears or springs.  Hours of good fun.

As a young, angst-filled kid, sometimes I didn’t like eating with my parents.  So, if we were at a restaurant and I finished, I’d always ask to go to the car and listen to the radio.  It was there that I got very skilled at turning on every button (sunroof included) with my toes.  I would also imagine our ’84 Monte Carlo could launch satellite-destroying missiles.
