BEEN TAGGED BY SPARTACUS -- PINOCCHIO, YOU'RE A REAL BOY, NOW -- SO I PASS ALONG THE "VIRUS" JA,JA,JA!
Ten Random Things About You (me)
1) I'm very allergic to MSG and white wine
2) At college I lived in a house with Ted Kennedy, Jr., Brad Whitford, Willie Garson, and Chris Wink (the dude who founded Blue Man and who introduced me to my first wife for which I'm grateful)
3) I know how to say "your sister is a shit" in Bulgarian -- "Tisi alina".
4) I really enjoy fishing although I'm not a fanatic about it and don't think I'd get into all the nerdiness of fly-fishing
5) I once broke my hand playing duck-duck-goose
6) My left earlobe was pierced but I stopped wearing earrings the day I saw a guy with an earring and a Reagan/Bush button
7) I've only had long conversations with two politicians -- Jerry Brown and Bob Dornan -- and found both to be exceptionally gracious and witty.
8) I didn't know who Lindsay Lohan was until my 7YO son told me this past August.
9) I ate horsemeat in Almaty, Kazahkstan.
10) I've never seen a single episode of any of the contest shows

consider yourself lucky you didnt know lindsay lohan
and how can you not love someone who has been to Kazahkstan? i cant even pronouce it
Kazakhstan's a pretty interesting place. It's in a temperate zone,so there's skiing in the winter and resort stuff in the summer. There are a lot of descendents of transplanted Germans and Austrians as well as Slavs from WWII whose forebears intermarried with Kazahks producing children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren with a very cool appearance: Asian features with blond hair and blue eyes.
Almaty is nothing like the whole Borat thing. Big, modern banking center.
This evening at a friend's birthday party two excellent things happened: (1) Yet again, I was the ONLY American there, but given MY physical appearance and unaccented Spanish I fooled everyone (2) I struck a very strong blow on behalf of my gender. MISS HAWAIIAN TROPIC 2007 asked me to dance and I refused. The reason two-fold (1) I'm a crap dancer (2) And I was kind of taken aback by a shit attitude she had copped earlier, getting up on the bar and dancing seductively as all the guys leered. It occurred to me that really the only woman I "look up to" is my mother and not only did I pay her bar-dancing antics no mind, I refused her private entreaty to dance preferring to discuss GDRs and re-franchise rights with a friend who's an investment banker here. There are very few times in one's life when one has a little juice. It seems silly not to use it. Besides, she's a friend of the birthday boy's and he can always get me her number. You take your edges where you can in this life. I learned that in New York City.
I'm afraid that's the extent of my Bulgarian. But wait a second didn't we agree not to bother with that dildo?
I'm also allergic to pseudo-ephedrine (active ingredient in most cold medicines and principal ingredient in Crystal Meth) and I'm even more allergic to Colin Powell. I am kind of curious, however, to meet him because while I've heard the term "bootstraps" I don't know what they look like. I wear sneakers. Maybe "bootstraps" are some kind of military torture device that Powell used along with the bayonet on the barely living at My Lai after Calley and the few under his command who capitulated perpetrated the massacre. At any rate, I'm curious.
As I said, it will be a while if ever before I'm back but if we do hang out, I'm going to have to pass on white wine, Oscar Mayer coldcuts, and smoking 'tina.
You are a free moral agent. Wear your hair any way you like and wear any shirt you like. I try to keep things simple. Every 7 or 8 weeks I get my head shaved so I don't have to worry about it. And I only have Levi's and T-shirts in my wardrobe.
As far as that idiot goes, so long as he makes $12 arguments with an $8 education he's bound to create enemies wherever he goes. More's the pity.
