Five things meme

BigJim says I have to do this, so I guess I will. So here are five things you may or may not know about me.

I watch professional wrestling on TV and have been to two wrestling shows in my life.
Like Jim, I have a pen fetish. Unlike Jim, I have never shoplifted any pens.
I have smoked one cigar in my life: on the day Frequent Commenter Scott got his PhD.
I didn’t drink alcohol until the day after the 2000 presidential election (by coincidence; at that point, all I knew for certain is Harry Browne didn’t win).
I have never voted for a Republican presidential candidate.

By the way, a bonus: in my copious free time, I will be contributing to a new Rebel sports blog organized by Jim. If you’re a real hardcore Rebel sports fan, you’ll be able to identify the section and row the header graphic was taken from at Vaught-Hemingway. (Incidentally the UMAA is trying to get me to donate $100 to keep my crappy seat in Section L. Pass.)

I won’t tag anyone with this meme, since I think I’m about the last person to get it, but if you want to play along let me know and I’ll link your post.

Heh. I guess I was involved in two of those.

BTW, that was a real Cuban, my friend!

#4 happened in my hotel room at SPSA in Atlanta in 2000; you weren’t there. But I blame graduate school for driving me to drink, so perhaps you can take some credit ;-)

What do you mean by a pen fetish? You like good pens? What’s your favorite these days?

Do you use a fountain pen?

Just curious.

I never was very good with fountain pens… but I insist on pens that are better than el cheapo ball points. I talked a little about this a couple of years ago; I still like the uniball Vision Elite in blue-black, even though it’s hard to find at retail.
