I am so stuck for a post today I’m doing the “ten things about me thing”.
- When I was about three, a big black dog tried to fuck me at the beach. My parents thought it was funny, and took a picture. I thought the dog was dancing.
- I have never broken a bone, which used to bother me as a child.
- The original movie “13 Ghosts” gave me nightmares as a kid.
- I fantasize about surviving being struck by lightning, with my faculties intact, and my life somehow changed in a positive way.
- After Mt. St. Helens erupted, Alpha and I briefly had a gutter-cleaning business in SW Washington State.
- I worked as a model in Tokyo, but was not good at the auditions, among other problems.
- I once took a pee next to Boris Yeltsin at the Moscow International Airport.
- I once nearly died of misdiagnosed appendicitis.
- I don’t believe in ghosts and shit, but I don’t disbelieve in them either.
- Once, before taking Alpha on a drive through the relatively remote Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, I had my car’s alternator rebuilt just to be on the safe side. At the furthest point in the trip, the alternator burnt up anyway. Swiss tourists picked us up hitchhiking and made fun of us. Since then I hate cars.
Which are true and which are false?
My guess: True: 2, 6, 7 and 8.
Swiss tourists would never make fun of you.
I don’t want to think about Boris Yeltsin’s security guards watching you pee (of course, it’s now too late for that), so I will guess that’s the fake one.
Number 6 sounds vaguely familiar…
I remember hearing story #1, but with the roles reversed.
#2 I can totally believe, as having a shattered wrist made me a huge star to the whole school when I was in 2nd grade.
All partly true?
For instance, I think that maybe you like driving, but have had a broken alternator…?
Will you do one little post for surreally if I get them right?
Okay, the following numbers are true: 2, 3, 5, 6, 8,& 9.
Leaving 1, 4, 7, & 10 false.
If I get it wrong will you still come and do one little post at our mini revival?
eh, they’re all true.
swiss tourists, they’ll make fun of you, man, especially if one of you is from austria. they laughed and laughed at our misfortune. and i do hate cars.
and yeltsin, well this was back shortly before he came to power. gorbachev was still in office and yeltsin had not bodyguards, yet. he was wandering around the airport all alone waiting for a flight. navy blue suit, tall guy with silver hair, better looking in person than you’d expect, especially back then when his liver still functioned. i promise to come up with a fair list someday, actually containing lies etc.
