Tag, I’m It!
Well, it appears that I’ve been tagged. To use the language of my tagger (Colin of Infamy or Praise), this is the modern-day chain letter. I’ve seen this showing up on various blogs for a little while now, and it works like this – now that I’ve been tagged, I’m supposed to share five things about myself that you probably don’t know. Then I tag five others who are supposed to do the same, etc. etc. Chain letters are evil, and this may not be much better, but I’ll play along.
1. When I was in little league, circa third grade, I was out in right field. Smack-dab in the middle of an inning, I proceeded to puke all over the joint. As I jogged back into the dugout, you could hear the Nerds jingling in my back pocket (said Nerds being one of the prime contributors to the now multi-colored right field).
2. The shortest job I’ve ever held was as a bus boy (or “dish fuck,” as my friends used to call it) at a local pizza joint. I worked there for four hours. They still owe me twenty bucks.
3. My third year of law school, I only attended two or three days of my U.C.C. class the whole semester. But that’s not the record among my friends, as one buddy didn’t go to a single class for his Bankruptcy course. Perhaps not so coincidentally, both classes were taught by the same professor.
4. I once told a college professor that I had knee surgery, to justify why I had missed three weeks of classes and, as a result, I had to limp in that class for the rest of the semester (I’m noticing a trend of bad studenting here – it’s a wonder I ever graduated college or law school).
5. I absolutely despise “American Idol” with all of the hatred I am capable of mustering, yet I continue to watch every bloody second of it.
5.5. In his e-mail to me, Colin noted that my last name isn’t on this blog, and suggested it could be one of my five items. Truth be told, there’s no reason my last name isn’t used, aside from the fact that I started posting without using my last name and it just sort of kept going that way. It’s not like some super-secret thing, like the anonymous Blawg Review editor crap. In fact, anyone could probably figure out my last in about five minutes if you snooped around the site a little and put two and two together (I think of two very easy ways to do it, just off of the top of my head). And while I would hope you have more important things to do, the fact that you’re still reading this may mean that you don’t. In which case, have at it, if that’s your wont.
Anyway. As for the five folks I tag. Don’t know if it’s cheating to tag a co-blogger, but you know I’m not letting Dustin get out of this. And here’s four more (and we won’t make ‘em all Legal Blogs, ‘cause that’s just boring): Dan Carlson at Slowly Going Bald, Dave Hoffman at Concurring Opinions, David Lat at Above the Law and just to have one non-D name, Adam Bonin of A List of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago.
