BLOG TAG - I'm It!

There is a game that has been making the rounds of blogs, apparently for some time in various iterations. (I've used that word for Mandy!) Here's how it works. A person tells 5 or 7 unknown, interesting facts about theirself and then tags another blogger. The newly tagged blogger then tells the requisite number of facts about theirself and then tags another blogger; and the cycle continues.

Needless to say, I have been tagged by Mandy. Read her blog: Rogers Review. I have found at least 2 references to Blog Tag. The first is at the Jeff Pulver Blog. It is dated December 10, 2006. The other reference is dated December 28, 2006 at SoloSEO.

Oh, I guess I should share my 5 or 7 things. Let me think for a few moments. (Tapping head, rubbing chin, thinking--I teach kindergarten you know!)

1. I really like music from the big band era. You know the stuff of Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller.

2. When I was much younger I would do things just to see what would happen. For instance, if you hit a bullet with a hammer it explodes. (The bullet, not the hammer.) Matches dropped into a gasoline container generally go out before they drop into the can. (State Farm and the Waco Fire Department are certainly glad of that.) And gunpowder from Black Cat Firecrackers makes a dandy explosive when packed into small glass tubes. (Great for making holes in the driveway.)

3. I love Braunschweiger. Some of you may know and love it as Liver Sausage. Yum yum!

4. I learned a lot in the 3rd grade. For instance, if you chew on the end of a Bic pen the ink comes out in your mouth. The ink tastes terrible. Also, the ink doesn't wash out at the water fountain. I thought you might want to know that.

5. I love mustard and saurkraut. Not necessarily together unless it's on Reuben sandwich.

I better stop there. I might get in trouble if I divulge much else. Besides, I think my second item could count for 2 or 3 individual items.

Oh, I just remembered something else. If you hit a hard drive with a screwdriver while it is accessing information the heads will clatter and they don't stop until you unplug it. Also the computer doesn't recognize the hard drive anymore. Go figure! (Shrugging shoulders!)

I'll tag my brother and his blog on the L & P Home Web Site.
