My friend Mo has "tagged" me. I'm now required, according to the rules, to post "seven random facts about (my) fascinating self on (my) blog".
Okay, sure. Why not. I don't usually do things like this, but, well, it's Mo, so:
1. My first birthday was January 15, 1967, the same day as SuperBowl I. Green Bay played (and lost to) Kansas City. I was born in Green Bay. It was a big deal, apparently... (Oh, and for you Green Bay fans: my name is Brett).
I have very few compulsions. Two of them manifest as follows:
2. Before I close a locked door behind me I must look at the keys in my hand. Car, house, closet, it doesn't matter what kind. And...
3. I have a constant fear that I smell bad.
4. I'm allergic to giraffes.
5. As a young boy, I witnessed a horrific accident in which a schoolmate was rendered unrecognizable as a human.
6. My first rock concert was Guess Who at the Illinois State Fair. (I was 5.)
7. I was once asked to participate in a pornographic photo shoot. I declined. (I was 18.)
You're welcome.

Jesus. Wow.
#1 You always smell like a well-dressed man, which is a weirder compliment than I'd like it to be.
#2 I love the giraffe thing.
#3 I am morbidly curious about the schoolmate thing. What happened? Email me. :)
"You always smell like a well-dressed man..."
Can I use that as a testimonial on my website?
But...you do smell.
Hee hee hee. Sorry, sometimes I act like I'm five, what can I say?
I'm with E--that giraffe business is pretty incredible. Why can't I have cooler allergies? Everybody's got hay fever. Bo-ring. But giraffes? Man... *shakes head*
"Why can't I have cooler allergies?"
I get great quotes from both of you.
Just exactly how does a person REALIZE they're allergic to giraffes? Is there a test for this? Were you raised by them and stopped sneezing when rescued by Dr. Livingston?
I was in a private viewing of the giraffes at the Brookfield Zoo. Got to pet them and feed them. After about 20 minutes my face swelled and my throat closed up. I had to leave the enclosure before I stopped breathing.
I was gonna comment on number 7...
but I decided on 3...
You never smell bad.
:]
oh, and
thanks a lot for tagging me too.
