Tag - 5 things you don’t know.

The deceased chain letter and email forward has been reincarnated to blog tagging. This round seems to have picked up some steam. I got tagged from Trose. He may call himself a D list blogger, but that means I’m totally off the grid. Much like the rest of Seattle the last couple days.

So here are my 5 fun facts:

1. My grandpa could have run a front for the Iowa mafia, but turned them down
Who would have even guessed there would be such a thing as the Iowa mafia…let alone that they would need a front. Still. It would have been sweet if I was a card-carrying member of the mafiosa. I wish I could have gotten the full story from him before he was sleeping with the fishes.

2. like Todd, i also was a waiter for many years.
That all came to a crashing halt when a customer at chili’s found a handle from the mashed potato machine sticking out of his side and loudly and intensely complained. I laughed, he got madder, I realized my subservient days had to be over.

3. I was a pipsqueak when I was young.
I had to sit on phonebooks to take my driver test because i was so small (no, i didn’t pass it the first time. let the hazing begin). Until i turned 21, my license had me at 105lbs 5′4″ - which at the time was even a lie to make me seem bigger

4. Most interesting brush w/ fame was when Prince’s car ran out of gas at my bus stop in 4th grade.
It was a white convertible with a purple top. He was just getting home - 7am-ish - and asked us to use one of our parents’ phones. i didn’t know who he was at the time, but I think he may have been the only person at the busstop who was smaller than me.

5. I proposed to my wife through a website (noraanddarren.com)

Since I don’t even have 5 regular readers, let alone 5 that have blogs, it’s going to be tough to tag 5 people.
1. Chase
2. Marshal
3. Jeff
4. John
5. my most frequent visitor: random dude from torrence, ca that shows up in logs
