File It Under has been so full of ginger lately that it's been hard to choose one particular post to feature, but here's one from Rob B that develops a fun sort of meme. This is probably a pair of scissors that we could run with as well: List ten unexplained, unexpected, intriguing, and apparently random facts about yourself. Then we can all laugh at you and call you names.

You know, I can't think of a single interesting thing. Ok - trying hard :
I lived in an old warehouse in Detroit for a while- the sole space converted to "living area". I had lots of fun roller skating through (basically) 6 floors of empty warehouse.
I earned a diving license at the tender age of 12.
I swam with (frisky) dolphins once. My leg kept getting hooked on their schlong.
I originally intended on having 2 children , and two of my kids (#2 and #5) were total oopsies, But welcome ones. Usually.
In college, as a sophomore, I attended a particular class ( I think it was "environmental Science, but, really, how would I know) only TWICE the entire semester. I still have "finals" nightmares about that one.
I once got so drunk, I passed out behind the FIJI house at Miami of Ohio - my Alma Mater. I was a freshperson. I haven't had a shot of schnapps since.
I was a raging liberal in college (but then, weren't many of us?)
I have a beautiful garden outside, but indoors I totally have a black thumb.

The pressure to keep punning is making me edgy.

... but I Adam Ant-ly refuse to quit.
I once worked at a McDonald's with a 16 year girl who was dating him, by the way.

I would love to hear Jake weigh in on this topic. He's gotta have some real-life doozies.
