Ok, so I’ve been tagged by my main man, Nate Shelkey. That means I am supposed to write out 5 things you don’t know about me (or maybe you do). It looks like a lot of people have already done this, so I better make mine good. Here goes…

1) During my first two years with a driver’s license I was pulled over for suspected drunk driving 11 times. I was completely sober each time.

2) During my senior year in high school, I peed in the fountain of the Georgia Governor’s Mansion. It was for a scavenger hunt. This earned my team 50 points. Amazingly, no security tackled me as I stood there staring right into the Governor’s bedroom window, pissing away.

3) My freshman year in college I threw a toilet out of my dormroom’s 2nd floor bathroom window. I was sorta drunk and it seemed like a good idea at the time. The next day, school officials held a meeting with everybody in the dorm. I did not attend, but later inquired what went down. Apparently, the words “fingerprints”, “DNA testing” (there was blood on the toilet), and “expulsion” were all mentioned at the meeting. So I laid low for a while and decided against throwing out any more toilets.

4) At BBDO Advertising (my second job in New York), I shut down the entire Detroit and Chicago offices by sending out a mass email to everybody in my address book with over 50 songs attached that I had downloaded from Napster. The IT department threatened to have me fired.

5) My first year in New York I signed up for a pyramid scheme in which I was informed to overnight $500 to some numbnut in North Carolina, and was told that within a week I would be receiving $4,000 from 8 random people. I sent the $500 to the numbnut. I never got the $4,000. Nor did I get didley-squat. I’m still bitter about this.   

–Bonus Round–

6) I’m an idiot. But you already knew that.
