I'm In A "Hifidelity" First Class Traveling Set...*
It seems I’ve been tagged by hifidelity to list 7 random things about myself.
The Rules: Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write their own blog post with their 7 things as well as these rules. You need to tag 7 others and list their names on your blog. Remember to leave a comment for them letting them know they have been tagged and to read your blog.
Without further adieu:
1. For part of his life my father was a carpenter.
2. My mother’s actual first name is Mary (but goes by her middle name, “Quitecontrary”).
3. I have strange circular scars on the back of both of my hands that eerily resemble nail holes, and I don’t recall how they got there.
4. My feet have extremely high arches.
5. If I tilt my head to just the proper angle and cup my hand to my left ear, I can hear Robert Goulet. (When he’s not singing, he isn’t nearly as fascinating as you might think.)
6. I feel bad for people from Philadelphia who have an “L” in their name.
7. Until I was 23 I thought “Manila Folders” was where Ali fought Frazier back in ’75.
I now tag:
wolframdonat
Montucky
Trick Falls
communat
spookyyank
kohuether
ThatOneAgain
Have fun.
* From "Money" by Pink Floyd
And here I thought I knew where you were going with that...
And here I've gone several years without having to think of Robert Goulet...
Consider me tagged, and off and running!

Sorry I made you think of Robert Goulet...and I hope those aren't scissors in your hand, Young Lady!

I feel that I know you so much better now, Pinhole. There are just so many layers to you -- so much more to learn every day.

Layers...like a cake? Trust me, it's all just frosting, very little substance.
Thanks,
Pinhole

Hm... Mary Quite Contrary. That explains quite a bit.

Yeah, kind of says it all, doesn't it?
Thanks for the visit,

I recommend a tinfoil hat for the Robert Goulet auditory problem. Unless you like that sort of thing. And thanx for the tag, BTW. Am I gonna have to TP your blog again?

Are you sure wax paper wouldn't work just as well? I think I used up all of the foil on that solar powered cat project last week.
You're welcome,

I am interested in what prompts your sympathy for Philiadelphians with an L in their name!

Listen to comedian David Brenner talk sometime...and he's not alone.

Well Damn. I must be a sorry sight, indeed. I'm from Philly. And yes, that is my full name.

And a fine name it is, Mitch!
I sincerely hope I didn't offend you, or anyone else, with my feeble remark. I tend to type before I think, all too often. I actually don't know anyone personally from Philadelphia. The city just popped into my head and I could have just as easily said Peoria. Christ! Now I owe everyone from Peoria an apology! This may never end!
Mitchell, feel free to make an Irish joke.
Once again, I hope I didn't offend,
Pinhole

In a similar vein, Mitch, I've read some of your entries where you've written so expertly of your hearing impairment. I would value your honest opinion as to whether you find the short essay at this link: Radio for the Deaf to be offensive. My niece assured me that it was benign enough, but if you find it the least bit callous I will remove it from my website. Thanks, Pinhole

Mitch, that's far more 'L's than any single person has a right to use up. All over the world, as a consequence, small children are wandering about with names like _arry and He_en...
