So I noticed Chris Cope has an ongoing list of 100 things. It appears to me that the 100 things are exclusively odd facts about him.
I think that's kind of a cool idea (and a good way to cheat when you're low on ideas for a post), so I'm going to rip him off and start my own list of 100 things.
1. When I was a kid, I was irresistably drawn to immobile objects regardless of my choice of locomotion. A few of the more notable objects I crashed into are: A fire hydrant, a tree (not that remarkable, except I was on a skateboard. How the hell did I do that?), a bike rack outside of school, a sandbar in a lake (in a boat, naturally), and a storage shed. And more than once I've been just standing/sitting there and suddenly found myself on the ground.
2. I have been recruited to be in a Viking-metal band. More than once.
3. When I was a kid, I wanted to grow up to be a garbage man. Of course, back then, garbage men worked as a team, and one guy rode on the back of the truck (guess which guy I wanted to be). They don't do that anymore (that I've seen, anyway), so I'm no longer interested in the arcane art of garbage collection.
4. I secretly miss the motorcycle magazines I read when I lived in Sweden.
5. I sometimes get tired of explaining that blacksmiths do not shoe horses. Farriers do. And, quite frankly, horses scare me.

when we go dumpster diving, one person always rides "garbage man" on the back of my buddy's Cherokee. it's a blast!
HA! I too once yearned to be a garbage man, of course the fella that rode on the back. I changed my tune after seeing said fella on back get his arm crushed in the truck mashing mechanism.
