I have been tagged by Hojpoj quite a while ago, but I am just getting some time to reply now. Here’s how this one works…

Ten little known facts/habits about me:

1. I hate washing paint off my hands and I’d leave it there forever, if that didn’t mean leaving microbes on them too. Paint swipes and drips on my fingers make me feel creative.
2. I haven’t been able to drink Tequila since Westlemania XIV.
3. I have played the guitar since grade 10, but I won’t be opening for Pearl Jam any time soon.
4. I’ve never smoked anything. Not even to try. No real reason, just never got around to experimenting and then I just got too old to be curious.
5. My favorite performer is Chris Cornell.
6. I went to Arts School.
7. I have a BSc. Hons. In Chemistry.
8. The first time I kissed a boy was in Grade 8, and he tasted like tin. No idea why.
9. Church kind of freaks me out, but I wish I had faith in something divine. It seems like such a comfort for those who do believe. I believe there is something beyond us (God, Energy, A whole new ecosystem) but I am not comfortable with modern religion and the precepts they enforce. But, despite that…(see next item)…
10. I once shook hands with the Pope.

I am tagging the following people:

Colin Wallace – End of the Dock
Tia Tremblay – Jinglebell
Carol – String me Along
Dre – Willowcat Studio

Okay, following my post about the TBL Draft Your Friends Challenge, here is my official scouting report, in no particular order. Oh, and please remember that I don’t actually know anything about baseball, so if I start making up positions and stuff, just let me go with it.

Adam Finley – Of course he has to be on my team. Who else will keep the locker room clean? I think Adam should be that guy in the batting order that gets stuff done. I forget if that is usually third, I think, or second? Whatever – he’s the guy you depend on because he does his job and does it well, no matter the stress. As for a field position, um… something where he can stay in the dugout, like a DH or something (do they still have those?) because he’ll be tired from floor hockey and then he can stay out of the sun and redesign his web page for the 80th time while watching 24 on his Mac.

Tia Tremblay – I think Tia should play some sort of outfield – the one that never gets hit to…. is that left, or right? Can’t remember. Not because she can’t play, she’s surprisingly agile with a glove, but because then she could sit on the grass and get some paperwork done. She’s always got paperwork, for some reason. Maybe she could do the team taxes then too. (more…)

Adam‘s beer can predict the future. And I don’t mean it makes him THINK he can predict the future, in the same way it makes him think he can dance, or think he is a stumbling, slurring chick magnet. Apparently, the beer itself has the ability to predict, and even influence future events.

Or so he says. He came upon this startling revelation during Saturday night’s Leaf game against The Canadiens. During a routine perusal of the fridge contents he realized he had 13 bottles of Sleeman’s on the bottom shelf. He knew the game was about to start and that his beloved Leafs needed every ounce of superstitious luck that could be mustered.
