Stranger than Fiction
Yep, got tagged by Randy at TheSkySoBlah to do this 8 Random Facts meme. Memes are usually fun for the ones doing them but not so fun for the ones reading them, eh? So I’ll try to make this as painless as possible for you. Gosh, I’ve such a big heart. Let’s see. Oops, almost forgot, I think I’m supposed to state ‘em rules:
- Players start with 8 random facts about themselves.
- Those who are tagged should post these rules and their 8 random facts.
- Players should tag 8 other people and notify them that they have been tagged.
Now, for the juicy incriminating stuff.
1) I use way too many commas, often in inappropriate places (in the closet, behind the bushes, on Cute Neighbour’s lap etc.). If you find your commas missing, now you know why.
2) I recite the 13 multiplication table when I’m drunk.
3) I used to have an extremely dangerous job that often put me in life-threatening situations. That’s right, I used to work in the banking industry.
4) I’m actually an alien from a small planet somewhere in the vicinity of Betelgeuse and carry a towel wherever I go. No, silly, I’m not Ford Prefect. I’m his sister.
5) Random fact number 4 is only 99% fiction. I do carry a towel. Sometimes.
And because I can only count up to 5, there’re only 5 random facts for you. Besides, I did say I’ll try to make it painless, didn’t I?
Now, for the next victims. I’m not real familiar with most of you so it’s fine and dandy if you don’t want to do this but bear in mind that I’m pointing a banana at your head. That’s right, consider yourself threatened. Unless, of course, you know self defence against fresh fruits.
1) Jason from Gorilla Sushi.
2) Dr. Harold Toboggans from The Ominous Comma.
3) Bob from bobbarama dot com.
4) Rachel from An English Mum.
8) Polli from Polliwog’s Pond.
All right, fine, since I’ve a big heart and all and I’m feeling mighty generous, you might want to learn a few tips about self defence against fresh fruits from our good sergeant below.

Just spreading the love, baby.
my first time around your blog… it’s so cute. I’ve moved around 15 times as well….
Lis: I enjoyed reading this space. This you tube link is just too good. I enjoyed!
I’ll get around to it eventually. I’m too cool to do it right away.
Random Magus, I hate moving. It’s a pain in the buttocks.
Honey Bee, if you liked the clip, you should search YouTube for other Monty Python clips.
Jason HOTTIE, how about doing it when you’re drunk?
Lis, you crack me up! I’ve been accused of using too many commas and the comma nazis don’t even know that I sometimes do it from my closet. Sincerly, Trik.
That was just too great. I’m glad you didn’t point that banana at them having them defenseless.
There are a ton of these memes going around, 8 random facts is a big one, but YOUR answers are the best I have seen thus far!
Yeah, I’ve seen it on practically all the blogs. I don’t think people care that much about how often I go to the loo (pretty often, I’ve a small bladder) or how many apples I eat a week (7, haven’t you heard of “an apple a day keeps the crazy away?”).
If I was a comma, I would boss around all the letters. Letters are stupid! (I will send no more MBL community mesages) TO MANY LETTERS….although I will send you this little number > ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,comma :-)
