For the love of Jack DanielÂ’s! It seems that blogspawn Bruce had his meme cherry popped by Blog Grandpappy Harvey. Yea, I know whoÂ’s cherry hasnÂ’t Harvey tried to pop? In vengeance over the whole thing he tags me with the 8 random facts MEME.

Eight random facts? I swear in December of 2005, I was tagged with 5 weird facts, and then in April of 2006 I was tagged with the 6 weird facts or habits meme. Who the hell keeps this thing going and keeps adding facts? Why, why canÂ’t you leave some of us alone and in peace? Why must you sit there and make us bare our souls to the world? ItÂ’s because youÂ’re a sadistic little couch monkey isnÂ’t it?

Anyway, 9 “random” facts about me. Okay here are the rules:
Players start with 8 random facts about themselves. Those who are tagged should post these rules and their 8 random facts. Players should tag eight other people and notify them that they have been tagged.

A) There is always some form of alcohol in my house that I will never drink. I donÂ’t know why, but itÂ’s there. Right now I have 5 small bottles of tequila and some funky flavored rum that I canÂ’t stand. Yet, I refuse to dump it down the sink

2) I collect key chains. I have over 1,000 of them. IÂ’m not sure exactly how many because I stopped counting years ago. There are so many of them, I canÂ’t even display all of them anymore. Only the ones I like are displayed.

D) I own more knives then any two people I know. They are all over the place. I display some, I have some in drawers, and I have a bunch in boxes in the basement. Hell, IÂ’ve even carried a knife with me everywhere I go since I was 12, even to school.

4) I can fall asleep at night in under 30 seconds most of the time. This irritates the hell out of my wife. I can lay my head on the pillow and be asleep faster then it takes her to find a comfortable position in the bed.

G) I have nicknames for everyone I have ever met. They just donÂ’t know what they are, and I normally donÂ’t share them with that person or anyone else. Mainly because I canÂ’t remember their real names when I first meet them and I have to have a way to catalog their face in my memory.

5) I once was arrested for urinating in public. That is a story for another time.

E) I spent a weekend testing a theory that a professor of mine stated in college that a person could survive on beer and vitamin supplements with no ill effects. She was a damn liar, and even though it was happy 5 days, IÂ’ll never repeat it. (This is a story for another time, oh and my weekends went from Wednesday through Sunday in college)

Finally. I harass and pick on people that I like. If I harass you, pick on you, or make slightly snarky/mean comments to you in jestÂ… itÂ’s because I like you. Yea, I never really grew up as a child.

And IÂ’m not tagging anyone with this, becauseÂ… well most of us have done it already.

Everyone is doing this movie meme. IÂ’m assuming out of respect for my hatred of memeÂ’s no one has tagged me with it. However, this is one that I would like to do, so IÂ’m going to take a swing at it.

Pick out ten favorite movies, then look them up at IMDb. In the overview at the top of each movie’s page, there are “Plot Keywords,” usually five of them. (Plus more, if you click the link.) Take the first five, and post them. Then the rest of us get to play movie buff and see if we can guess them.

Well those are the official rules; IÂ’m also going to add a quote, just to help because so far this meme has been stumping people.

UPDATE: For the ones people have correct, I've put the names of the movie after it.

1) Sideburns / Gettysburg / American Civil War / Biographical / Epic “To be a good soldier you must love the army. To be a good commander you must be able to order the death of the thing you love” Gettysburg C'mon the name was in the clues.

2)Male Nudity / Tragic Hero / Crushed Head / No Opening Credits / Brave “There's a difference between us. You think the people of this country exist to provide you with position. I think your position exists to provide those people with freedom. And I go to make sure that they have it.” Braveheart

3) Survival Horror / Survival / Grindhouse / Exploding Head / Black Comedy “You never point a gun at anyone, mister. Scary, isn't it? Isn't it?”

4)Wuxia Fiction / War / Kiss / Smuggler / Outer Space “Oh. I thought they smelled bad on the *outside*” Empire Strikes Back

5) Expedition / Gender Clash / Satire / Beer / Camping In Wilderness “I have a lot of fantasies about being tied up and spanked. I suppose it isn't very liberated, is it? What kind of fantasies do feminists have?” Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death

6) Cult / Splatter / Disturbing / Ghoul / Survival “Good shot! OK, he's dead; let's go get 'im. That's another one for the fire.”

7) Cabin / Good Versus Evil / Cult / H.P. Lovecraft / Dark Comedy “Kill her if you can, loverboy.” Evil Dead

Holiday / Compassion / Diner / Existentialism / Buddhist “People like blood sausage too, people are morons.” Ground Hog Day

9) Sex With The Dead / Convenience Store Clerk / Anti Social / Disrespect / Ex Girlfriend “You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude. But they don't all bring you lasagna at work. Most of 'em just cheat on you.” Clerks

10) Bayou / Lawn Mower / Coach / College / Ridicule “You can do it... you can do it all night loong!” The Waterboy

HereÂ’s a bonus one. IÂ’d be surprised if anyone actually gets it, or has seen it.

Bonus) Hit And Run / Neo Nazi / Topless / Explosive / Crushed Head “Well America, there you have it, Frankenstein has just been attacked by the French Air Force and he's whipped their derrieres!”

Since I wasnÂ’t technically tagged, I donÂ’t have to tag anyone else, and IÂ’m not going to.

IÂ’ll put up the answers in the extended entry later this week. That is if no one figures them out.
