I feel popular this week

Danielle of SEO is for Girls tagged me with the task of revealing seven facts about myself. I revealed eight a while back for Tish and now I must come up with seven more? Aye carumba! Breathe Mike, breathe. You can do this. Okay, here we go.

  1. I drink a LOT of raspberry flavored iced tea. This results in a large number of return trips throughout the day to the potty.
  2. I make a pretty darn good calzone. In fact I even wrote a recipe for my calzones called “Mike’s Kickass Calzone Recipe”. Unfortunately I cannot figure out where I saved it :(
  3. I despise shaving. It’s tedious. If it were still considered cool to look like the guys from ZZ Top there’s a good chance I might.
  4. I have very little cartilage in my left knee thanks to a nasty car accident when I was in high school. On some days the knee aches so much that I have to hobble around like a little old man.
  5. I’m obsessed with watching poker shows. ESPN, ESPN Classic, Travel Channel. Whatever channel they may be on I’ll find them and watch them. Repeatedly.
  6. I don’t like talking on the phone unless I really have to. Get me on the phone and I turn into a stuttering moron.
  7. I own two beanie babies. One is a cow named Daisy and the other is a teddy bear named Curly with a rather cool pair of rounded frame shades.

UPDATE: It just occurred to me I forgot to tag people…lol. Umm. If you’d like to reveal 7 facts about yourself, you’re tagged. There, that was easy :D

    I can understand the hating shaving - I hate brushing my hair. About the Beanie Babies though, just two? You need to get at least 100.

    See I knew I was going to enjoy reading this!

    Haha…well the two I have I was actually guilted into buying. I should probably blog about the story of how I ended up with them, some day :)

    Really? I don’t even know how to play poker! I’ve tried and tried but somehow the rules never stuck in my head. So weird.

    I could teach you :) I’ve been playing for a while now. I play quite a few different styles of it. The most popular right now though is of course Texas Holdem. That’s what they show most often on TV.

    I’d probably like that as well. Basically if it’s iced tea, I’ll drink it :P

    Your facts are interesting, entertaining as always, and most of all cool. :)

    I was thinking more corny than cool, but cool works for me :P

    Curly has sunglasses? Curly has been around for a long time. I think he was born around 1997 or so. But I’ve never seen him wearing sunglasses. I bet he looks cool in them! :)

    Daisy is cute too!
