Ok so there’s this thing making the rounds, especially on Facebook, this whole “25 Things…” bit, where if you’re “tagged” you’re supposed to divulge 25 things about yourself and then, like some new-age chain letter, tag 25 more people.

But as I’m a curmudgeon (ok, there’s #1) I think it’s kinda dorky, but I still wanna play along so here’s my list:

1. I can be curmudgeonly (but I already said that, didn’t I).
2. I’m Italian, and swear like it too.
3. I want a Shelby Cobra. A 427. With glasspacks. I want the neighbors to fear it.
4. I love the smell of cordite… and spray paint for that matter.
5. I’m afraid of heights.
6. I much prefer guidelines than actual rules. So much so that I see little difference in the two.
7. I was once an officer in the US Army.
8. I’m quite possibly on the PDD spectrum, probably Aspergers.
9. I used to be a news photographer but stopped. Now I shoot avidly but am exclusively amateur.
10. Sometimes I wear shoes that don’t match… yes in public.
11. I don’t have six fingers on my right hand but I still feel like there’s a Spaniard looking for me.
12. I’ve jumped out of airplanes (er, with a parachute of course) on several occasions (kinda assumes a parachute, doesn’t it?).
13. Like that guy from “Duran Duran”, I should have had more sex in the ’80s.
14. I’m socially liberal, fiscally conservative, politically libertarian. Like the GOP… once.
15. I once electrocuted my self on a dog fence. Twice. Just to see if it would hurt that much again.
16. When I grow up, I want to be a dirty old man. When I’m old and in a home, I’ll have a nurse with a really short skirt, and I’ll drop things a lot.
17. I love cartoons. I like Uncle Iroh from Avatar, the Last Airbender the best. Or Donatello.
18. If I could pick an island for an island vacation, I’d pick Easter Island (or Gilligan’s, but only if Mary Ann was there… and she was herself from the show, not her like 80-somethin’-year-old now self).
19. I’m not left handed either.
20. I’ve hacked into computer systems, and gotten paid for it.
21. I once joined the Mile High Club all by myself. Maybe it was more than once.
22. I speak two languages: English and Bad English.
23. To me the only 4 food groups that matter are cookies, pasta, chocolate and soda. That, of course, makes chocolate-chip cookies a twofer.
24. I can do a wicked cool Tasmanian Devil imitation, and a pretty good helicopter, and can nail Popeye’s laugh (of course the kids today have no clue who that is).
25. I’m 20 years younger than my oldest brother, 10 years younger than my closest sister. Teasing them about how old they are is becoming less funny to me.

So I’m pretty sure these are true, or it could be the medication…

P.S.: I’ll leave the tagging on Facebook…
