100 Things About Me - The Final Chapter
Here's the tail end of the personal trivia. I may do a few more in the future.
Hope you enjoyed reading them or at least weren't bored to tears!
81. "Casablanca" is my favorite movie, but the Lord Of The Rings trilogy is a very close second.
82. If I still smoked cigarettes, I'd be smoking Camel Filters, and lighting them with my brass Zippo. (Not to be confused with the Grey-Plumed Parrotheaded Zippo)
83. I can throw a tomahawk well enough to split playing cards at 10 paces. Once I get warmed up and in the groove, I rarely miss.
84. I've had my head hair gradually disappearing starting back in my early 20's. I just can't bring myself to go the chrome-dome route, but you won't catch me in a combover, either.
85. My eyesight used to be extraordinary, but the years are taking their toll. This bugs me worse than losing my hair.
86. I'll keep my opinions about your religion to myself unless you try and proselytize. Then, the gloves come off and you will not be happy with me.
87. I have two tattoos I love, and one that I probably shouldn't have gotten.
88. I've eaten fried grasshoppers. They do not taste like chicken.
89. I switched majors 7 times in college, and eventually got a BA in Advertising and a 2nd BA in Sociology. I use neither in my current occupation.
90. I would like to beat the record for driving through all 48 contiguous states. I would use a bus or motor home towing a diesel-tank trailer, and never stop except for red lights. And not many of those!
91. I wish I could draw and paint with some degree of skill.
92. My favorite sculptor is Jean-Antoine Houdon, my favorite painter is Claude Monet. My 2nd favorite painter is Earl Scheib.
93. I think RC Cola tastes better than Coke or Pepsi. Dr Pepper beats all three.
94. My guitar wants to kill yo' mama! (Sorry, running out of steam here...)
95. I'm pretty good at tying cherry stems into a knot using only my tongue.
96. I learned that the signal cannon at one of my old summer camps has a bore exactly the size of C-cell batteries, and a filmcan-sized charge of powder will send a battery halfway across the lake. Do not ask me how I discovered this.
97. I haven't missed an Indy 500 since 1985. One of these years, I'll manage to go see it live.
98. I have visited Hippy Hollow and gone skinnydipping.
99. My favorite color used to be blue, but over the years, I came to prefer dark green.
100. My perfect Xmas list would be: A wad of cash large enough to pay for a custom-designed 10,000 sq. ft. house on 5000 acres of land; a mint condition Lamborghini Espada with Monica Bellucci in the passenger seat; A C-130 and free air-tanker privileges worldwide; a new M14 and a new Thompson SMG with a gunnysack full of 50-round drum mags, A new G5 Mac with the 30" Cinema Display, and maybe world peace.
Nah, screw world peace, I wanna try out the tommygun!
