And now, for something completely different

Instead of two for Tuesday, I'll participate in a meme I have received. And, I'll make it a little different, just to see if youse have been paying attention. A couple of my favorite bloggers have done this lately, and the results have been fun.

First, the meme

8 things about me is from Chunks of Reality. This is a pretty interesting blog, and her 8 facts were astounding.

http://chunksofreality.blogspot.com/

What I am going to do is give some facts, and you can guess which are correct. The prize, of course, is the adulation of the blogosphere.

1. A few years ago, I passed a rather large kidney stone that, when viewed from the right angle, looked eerily like the profile of Rutherford B. Hayes.

19th President of the US or my kidney stone?

2. I lost the 8th grade county spelling bee on a technicality.

3. I'm a certified teacher.

4. I have been married 3 times.

5. I have been shown in cable TV audiences at least 4 times.

6. I've posed for pictures and signed autographs as a professional wrestler for German tourists.

7. When younger, I was in 4H and raised a champion bull.

8. My first serious girlfriend couldn't say the word aluminum.

Of those 8 facts, only 6 are true. Can you guess which ones?

I'm going to tag Eve from http://www.thatsfunnybecause.blogspot.com/

She is a lady of mystery, so it would be wonderful to find out 8 things about her. Of course, she is under no obligation to tag anyone, but can tag up to 8 others.

Anyone else wishing to participate, just let me know.

Graham from http://adullamite.blogspot.com/

Presented the blog with the following award:


There were no strings attached, and I'm grateful as stringy awards can be annoying. I appreciate the recognition from my blogger friends. Thanks. Also, I'm not exactly sure what it says as it's in Spanish and according to my high school Spanish, my blog approximates a blog. Must be one of those idiomatic things, either that or I was absent that day.

Lastly, the ebay situation is resolved, now, I can devote my energy to Quizno reparations.

And I can devote even more time to ignoring Greenland.

THIS JUST IN: I was interviewed by Doc Nicole. It's health related, and me, being the world's unhealthiest blogger, you may want to read it.

Still time to vote for me. Just click on the icon on the left side.

Thankfully, the week is almost over

This has been a week when everything in the Universe has decided to mess with me.
It started with my crappy Quiznos turkey sub, and Quiznos attempt to marginalize me.

Just like my first college girlfriend, they won't return my calls. But I will be stepping up my campaign early next week. I demand satisfaction, dammit.

Then, I ordered a piece of medical equipment from an Ebay powerseller. It was wrong, either boxed incorrectly, or the seller sent the wrong piece. Either way, I am still without it. Naturally, I sent a few emails, and he now is ignoring them. Fortunately, I paid with Paypal, so I just will have to file a complant and I'll get my money back. Still, the annoyance factor will be high as I have to return the rather large item, and as of today, I don't have his address either. I swear it's a friggin conspiracy.


Then, about a week ago, the Spawn mailed out the chocolate to everyone. It went Priority, because I didn't want it to take too long.


I thought Priority meant something to be done first. The fact that it said two days, also led me to believe it would take, oh, I don't know, 2 days.
It turns out that to the fine folks at the United States Postal Office "Priority" really means "Eventually" and 2 days also means "Eventually." Live and learn.

By now, everyone except my winner from Canada and the winner who contacted me late should have their chocolate. If not, please let me know as soon as possible. My email address is on the sidebar.

Quasi-Important Notice:

And it's back. Just when you thought elections were over for a few years, Humorbloggers is having a redo on the Humorblogger of the Year contest. This is like the primary, and each blogger is listed in a catagory. Then all the winning catagory bloggers will be thrown into the Burning Circle of Death Final Vote and will be crowned Humorblogger of the Year. Or not. The huge icon on the left will direct you to the site where you can vote for me under "Personal Life Humorblogger." Your vote won't get me my sub, medical equipment, or your chocolate, but it will make me feel better, and that's pretty darned important.

BTW, I've already voted for you for Humorblog Reader of the Year.
