Thanks to Barbara Nixon’s tagging skills, I’m now part of the “7 things about…” meme (not sure how to pronounce meme – watch the video below). Her blog post was text, but saw Jason Falls did a nice video a couple weeks back… mine’s a hybrid:
- Grew up in Bermuda
- First car = ’79 Ford Granada
- Went to high school in Italy and Alabama
- Own an ice shanty
- Was gifted a “Bush knife”
- Invented snowboarding
- Son had open heart surgery
Want more details, or just enjoy watching unattractive people talk to themselves? Watch the video:
It’s not for sale, but I do have a pic of the “Bush knife” up on flickr!
And… you’ll notice I didn’t pass this meme on to others. May it die here, cause nobody likes doing work when they’re on vacation.
^^^^^^^^^^
How could you forget to tell people again that you don’t own a cell phone? That seems like in and of itself to be a pretty big deal! Just sayin…
@Kyle – Kind of feels like a half-truth… since the wife owns one now.
Plus I use cellphones for @drunktsand and @treestand. Would hate to come off as a hypocrite. Sorta like me telling folks not to drink until it’s noon.
Did you see the video? Gave you and Jason Falls a shout out for your accents.
Hope you had a great Christmas! Will be visiting you in Boston, so buy a comfy couch — hide-a-bed FTW!
I was JUST copying and pasting your url to TAG YOU in the same meme, and noticed someone already got you!! I guess we all want to know more about TSand!!!
@darryl – Too funny. Thanks for attempting to tag me, you armadillo killer.
It might just be me, but sitting on ice, trying to get fish out of a hold, in a tent, sounds complicated. Why not just stop by the fish market? Better chance of finding lobster, priceless.
Your Granada was a decade newer than my first car, which was a Caprice. It was a Chevy. Still driving American made but my taste has improved, and I can still fit 6 girlfriends in it. I see a road trip to Vegas in my future.
You don’t own a cell phone? I agree with Kyle James that in itself is huge!
@Tawny – We have a REAL ice shanty… think, bachelor pad on wheels (on ice). Wood burner, 7 foot ceiling, room for 8.. just like Grumpy Old Men minus the Metamucil. Stop by with the bottle of wine and I’ll give you a tour!
