Blog Tag Game

December 14, 2006 in Viral Marketing, Web Culture

Okay, Scott got me into this. The idea is to share five things about yourself that people may not know, then tag five bloggers so they can rinse, lather and repeat.

I was tagged by MarketingGuy, who was tagged by Aaron Shear,who was tagged by Avinash Kaushik. The game was started by Jeff Pulver.

I’m going to pass it on to David Gagne, Graywolf, Stuntdubl, Aaron Wall and That Girl From Marketing.

So here are five things you may not know about me-

1. I rode a bull named Fred for 7.2 seconds in an amateur rodeo competition. I haven’t fully recovered yet. ; )

2. I read a book a day, every day. If the book is good, I may read it every day for a week.

3. I like to shoot. In fact, I shoot so much that I had to learn to reload my own ammunition. When I have time, I dress up like an Old West cowboy and take part in a competition called Cowboy Action Shooting, or CAS.

4. I studied magic/slight of hand/illusions when I was in my twenties. Doves crap on you when you have them ‘loaded’. I produced a dead dove at a child’s party. I made its wings flutter and no one realized it was dead. I can still push a cigarette through a quarter and hand you the quarter to examine when I’m done.

5. One of my bookshelves in filled entirely with dictionaries. Some of them are in languages I can’t read. I still try to read them or find patterns in the words. And a bonus item- I have a bookshelf in my bathroom.

Tag! Yer it!
