Random Facts

The Archcrone has tagged me with the Random Facts Meme. The meme is:
  1. All right, here are the rules.
  2. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
  3. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
  4. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
  5. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Here be the facts:
  1. I dropped out of both high-school and college
  2. I don't own a television
  3. I rarely listen to music, except incidentally.
  4. I used to brew my own beer (but I then realized I could buy it for $1.25 a bottle).
  5. I hate mayonnaise
  6. I worked as a computer programmer for almost ten years before I had a computer at home
  7. I have extremely wide and short hands and feet (EEEE-width) and stubby fingers and toes
  8. I wear mostly Hawaiian shirts

I'll tag:

My lovely wife
James
Janice
Chicken Girl
Plognark
Himself
Jonah
Norm
anticant
DBB
Kenneth

(Yes, I know I can't count.)

And anyone else who wants to participate.

  1. Hooray! I love memes, they give me something to blog about when I'm being boring and can't think of anything. :p

  2. Brachydactyly?! - did your mother or father have stubby fingers and toes too?

Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.

With few exceptions, I will not respond or reply to anonymous comments, and I may delete them. I keep a copy of all comments; if you want the text of your comment to repost with something vaguely resembling an identity, email me.

No spam, pr0n, commercial advertising, insanity, lies, repetition or off-topic comments. Creationists, Global Warming deniers, anti-vaxers, Randians, and Libertarians are automatically presumed to be idiots; Christians and Muslims might get the benefit of the doubt, if I'm in a good mood.

See the Debate Flowchart for some basic rules.

Sourced factual corrections are always published and acknowledged.

I will respond or not respond to comments as the mood takes me. See my latest comment policy for details. I am not a pseudonomous-American: my real name is Larry.

Comments may be moderated from time to time. When I do moderate comments, anonymous comments are far more likely to be rejected.

I've already answered some typical comments.

I have jqMath enabled for the blog. If you have a dollar sign (\$) in your comment, put a \\ in front of it: \\\$, unless you want to include a formula in your comment.

Note: Only a member of this blog may post a comment.
