"The first family of Minnesota Blogging" - Mitch Berg, Shot in the Dark

Illuminating fun, faith,
family and foolishness.

have an intimate connection.”

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro
Wayne at Questions and Answers Blog has tagged me with this weird meme; that is, list five weird things that I do. This was difficult because anything I do that others might think is weird could still seem perfectly natural to me. With input from close acquaintances, here are some ideas:

  1. I have a lousy sense of direction and constantly transpose east and west when giving directions or trying to plot my course to somewhere. (I'm also not afraid to stop and ask for directions).

  2. Even though I'm fully grown (and then some), I still don't like most vegetables and won't eat them if I can in any way avoid doing so.

  3. I come up with a different name for my fantasy football team each year. Some past monikers have been: The Rush Limbos, The Fighting Quayles, Weapons of Mass Distraction, The Vermicious Knids and this year's team, Violence & Comic Mischief (after the rating on a xBox game I bought for Tiger Lilly).

  4. I have always told my children the truth about Santa Claus. I have, however, told them that the stories in The Onion are true.

  5. I have worn a kilt in public.

It is customary with these types of memes to tag others. I think it will be interesting to see how weird some of the new names I've notice on the Minnesota Organization of Bloggers blogroll are. Therefore I hereby tag:

Alan Anderson
My Opera Life
Because I Said So
Space Beagle
Surly's Soap Box
Almost On The Range

Let the weirdness begin!
