“Ate things” Meme -forgive me!

I’ve been tagged by the dog for an “8 Random Things About Me” meme. And when the dog barks, people listen! The rules are:

  • Post these rules before you give your facts
  • List 8 random facts about yourself
  • At the end of your post, choose (tag) 8 people and list their names, linking to them
  • Leave a comment on their blog, letting them know they’ve been tagged

Ok, here are my 8 random facts:

    Images of Weebles Haunted House

  1. I may have one of the world’s most comprehensive Smurf collections (including collector’s cases, boxes, colorforms, you name it)
  2. The first three movies I saw on HBO, in this order, were Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, Grease, and The Omen
  3. During my undergraduate years I spent a Summer in Alaska working on a crabbing boat and got fired for “insubordination” (perhaps one of the few people who went to Alaska to make money and came back owing my brother $300)
  4. When living in NY I ate pizza at least once a day
  5. I recently bought the original Weeble’s Haunted House on e-bay
  6. I saw The Wild Bunch at the Cinerama Dome in LA -possibly the best movie going experience I had in my adult life
  7. My brother and I built an 8 foot high and 16 foot wide half-pipe for skateboarding in our backyard on Long Island
  8. I wore a cast on my arm for 3 1/2 of the 4 years of high school
  9. And as a bonus:
    I am not the fakereverendjim!

OK, now that I laid myself bare, it’s time to hear from the DatLat faithful:
