Well, this means that you now have to learn six random facts about me.
Here goes:
1. When I was a baby I could spin a pacifier around like a propeller (really freaking out, and amusing nursery attendants). I could be a 1000 dollarionaire if my parents had just taped it and sent it to AFV. Some other kid won 1st prize for that stunt recently, and he had half of my spinning talent.
2. I was mock held-up in Paris with a banana. By a very drunk man who thought it was hilarious (but I really wasn't in the mood)
3. I am ridiculously affected by smacking.
4. I analyze things to a ridiculous extent.
5. I like doing voice impressions and fake accents.
6. I used to be called Robbie (until about the 7th grade).
Alright, I tag: MPK, Hannah Noland, My dad, Winston Kimmel, Tyler Knight, Justin Hughes (even though he never reads this and would probably not participate if he did). If you are not one of those people and you were not tagged by Kaleb, go ahead and do your own and pretend like I tagged you.

Hooray! The first one is hilarious!! I didn't have that much talent when I was a baby. Lucky you.
ReplyDelete1. I am ridiculously afraid of hair in drains, brushes, and on bars of soap. I think I inherited this fear from my mom.
ReplyDelete2. I would love to go to Africa as a missionary someday.
3. I listen to a pretty wide range of music (thanks to Rob), but I hate country music. I think I enjoy Russian music the most: Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, and Sibelius.
4. I am missing four permanent teeth (in the back of course), which my mother is missing and my children will probably be missing also.
5. I have a terrible sense of direction. Actually, I have no sense of direction. I even get lost with my GPS in the car sometimes. I love back seat drivers :)
6. I do a pretty good Donald Duck impression, but in case you were thinking of asking me to do it for you, I only do it for Rob when he's having a bad day.
Hannah
Thank you Hannah! Your Donald Duck impression is amazing; I wish you were here to do it.
ReplyDeleteDane, if you are reading this consider yourself tagged. You can use this to avoid getting another ultimatum.
Here it goes:
ReplyDelete1. At age 3, my mother put me in time out for losing my temper, to which I responded, "I didn't lose my temper. I still have it."
2. I have considered a career in the music industry, particularly the rap genre. I think my initials quite fitting for beat-boxing: mmm. . .pk
3. I can lie on my stomach and touch my toes to my chin. Disgusting, I know.
4. My grandmother makes the best crab casserole in the universe.
5. I love shark-fishing and have even kept some shark jaws. (for the intrigued: to clean a shark jaw, leave it in an ant bed for a few days, and voila! a meatless shark jaw)
6. I have a grand total of 15 first cousins and one half-brother.
1. Neither Cathy (Rob's mom)nor I can roll our tongues, yet all three of our children can. Now I know that this is genetically possible (http://www.thetech.org/genetics/ask.php?id=125), but all three of my children? (I realize this bit of personal trivia involves my wife too, but at least I'm half of the equation)
ReplyDelete2.I play the accordion. Not particularly proud of it, but it does sound OK if you play it in a closet with a blanket thrown over your head.
3. I once ran into (literally)a sunken battleship while sailing at midnight in the Gulf of Mexico. In my defense, the site was unmarked and our boat didn't sink. So, no harm no foul, right?
4. A couple of years ago, I blew apart a wooden fence next to our driveway showing my inlaws how a speargun (intended for use underwater, obviously) works. I'm just glad the neighbor's dog wasn't on the other side.
5. The summer between my Freshman and Sophomore years of college, I sandblasted the redwood on our balcony, rebuilt my car's engine, and sewed a button-down shirt (which unfortunately didn't fit me after the first washing).
6. While in Boy Scouts, I was (at that time) the youngest person to make Eagle Scout in Florida (two days before my 13th birthday).
Dad
sorry for responding so late, I was hunting with my dad this weekend. here goes
ReplyDelete1. I am OBSESSED with cars
2. I am also obsessed with trogdor. (for those of you sho know what/who that is, I can draw him just like strong bad)
3. I dont know that much about computers and all that (even though I act like I do) but, I just bought the new ipod touch with the built in speaker so I am going to learn fast.
4. I am not at all like Hannah in this regard. I have an EXCELLENT sense of direction. Whenever I am in the car with my sister, she has to ask me how to get to places
5. I collect bottles. I have 51 right now. I have them from Europe, North Ccarolina, California, Alabama, Georgia, and New Mexico. (This last one I didnt get to keep because in New Mexico if you find something over 10 years old it is considered and artifact. yes, that includes trash bottles.
6. I love airsoft. even though my gun is falling apart, I still run around like crazy blasting people with little plastic balls
P.S. why is there a circle after my name?
sorry about that circle comment, i fixed it (I think. Refer to random item number 3)
ReplyDeleteI know I am a few weeks late, but these kinds of games are fun so...here goes:
ReplyDelete1.When I was 8 or 9 years old, I liked to pretend that I was blind, and would walk around the house with my eyes closed.
2.I used to have hair pulling fights with my younger sister for fun. As a result, today I have an extremely tough scalp, and you have to yank on my hair really hard to affect me.
3.I always have to have nail polish on my toes. It drives me crazy to look down at my feet and see that my nails aren't painted.
4.I have cracked my head open three times in my life, but have never had stitches. I also have never had any broken bones, surgeries, or any other medical procedures done on me.
5.I sometimes have horrible nightmares that all my teeth have fallen out. Really, they are horrible!
6.I absolutely love my birthday! I love having people sing to me, getting gifts, and having people over for a party. You never have to worry about forgetting about my birthday, because I am usually talking about it three months in advance, counting down the days.
