Been tagged with the same chain letter by the guys at Why Don't You Blog? and Tim at Walking the Berkshires. So, in the interest of full disclosure, here are eight random facts about me.
- I've played seven matches of Jeopardy.
- I'm a Lord of the Forodrim.
- I once caught chlamydia from a registered midwife.
- Along with a hoard of other forodrimites, I once ran around a golf course on a Midsummer Night in the nude, showering in the sprinkler system.
- I'm myopic on the right-hand eye only, giving me poor stereoscopic vision.
- The hardest mind-altering drug I've ever taken in a dose large enough to affect my mental state is caffeine.
- I once spent a night on a towel under a garden table at the Masada hillfort.
- I'm crap at ball sports.
Anyone who feels up to it is welcome to consider themselves tagged.

The slow-motion "meme" of the moment is this "eight things about yourself" list. Doctor Pion tagged me a while back, but I've been bad about actually responding, because I'm lazy. This seems like a good weekend topic, though, so here are some random facts about me (I'll try not to repeat any from…
So, Bora tagged me today with the Eight Random Facts meme. And since it's Bora, I will respond. Here are the rules:
1. Players start with 8 random facts about themselves.
2. Those who are tagged should post these rules and their 8 random facts.
3. Players should tag 8 other people and notify them…
In the podcast liner notes to his new album (starting at 14:21), George Hrab talks to Milton Mermikidis for a space about how neither of them does any heavier drugs than caffeine. I realised that in close to five years of blogging, I've never talked specifically about my own drug abstinence, though…
Bora tagged me--and, as we all know, saying no to Bora means courting bad karma. So, we're gonna play a game. I will tell you 8 things about myself likely better left unsaid (see below) and then I will tag 8 other people and try to persuade them to do the same. Why? It's about sharing, people.…
I'm technically still a member of the British former-fief of the Forodrim (they declared UDI at some point, apparently). Give my regards to Beregond.
How cool! I wish I could remember the name of that fief. I think you guys sent an embassy to my first banquet in 1988. Tol... Tol... Tol something.
I met Beregond just a few months ago at Forodrim HQ. Completely unchanged, still looks just like a hobbit!
You are good to play along, Martin. I believe I've been in that sprinkler system before, or one very much like it, but with a bunch of new reformed druids. Otherwise sounds like the same thing.

OK, I got the meme, hope I will be able to avoid the chlamydia...
