We'll do this Ezra style. One of these statements, and only one, is false.
1. I've never learned how to whistle. I've tried practically everything, and I'm quite sure none of it will work.
2. I've won thousands of dollars on behalf of other people by playing online poker. I'm good enough not to be a 'fish', but I'm too afraid to gamble my own money, or even take a percentage of their money. So I just use it as an opportunity to practice calculating probabilities very, very quickly.
3. I camped out for tickets to Star Wars episodes I (The Phantom Menace) and II (Attack of the Clones) on the streets of New York City. CNN, Letterman, local news, all stopped by.
4. I have, at various times, tried to teach myself Russian, Cherokee, and Ancient Greek, all without much success. Japanese is probably next.
5. I have a psychosomatic reaction to the circus, state fairs, and various other carney paraphenalia.Cotton candy, super-syrupy fountain drinks, glow sticks, those noisemakers that you only see at Barnum and brothers circus, lots of sequins, etc., make me feel ill, and have on more than one occasion actually induced vomiting.
I tag Carl, the Battlepanda, and ... uhh, .... well, clearly I am a leaf node in the blogosphere.
