Well, damnit. I got memed. Twice. Thrice. Virally, even.
But, don't feel bad for me, my friends. Like Donna Summer, I will survive.
Recovering Leo and Blogostar David Armano, the Shoutiest Foodie, Katie Chatfield, and the Behemoth Viking, Tim Jackson threw their viral grenades my way, obliging me to give you 5 things that you probably didn't know about me, and then tossing the grenade like a hot potato to five more unsuspecting bloggers.
5 things.
1. I was once on Judge Judy. Long story short, I won. And got hushed repeatedly in the process by the queen of the court herself. It was awesome.
2. I was the president of my fraternity in college. Unfortunately, I don't remember most of it, I was busy nursing a hangover most of the time.
3. I play bass, once had dreams of rockstardom, then booked bands in college to fill the void. Now, it and my guitar just make me look cool when girls come over.
4. My father is also in advertising. I refer to him regularly as "the man."
5. I played soccer from age five to 15, when I decided to rebel against everything, except of course, rebellion.
So, that's it, now you know me that much better. And, of course, I'll pass the baton to:
Cam Beck
Jayne Karolow
Mack Simpson
Noah Kagan
Todd Anthony
And the other taggings:
Tim
Gavin
Dave
Andrea
Tom
Ann
Gianandrea
Kate
Sean
And, many, many others....

Ha! I got you so good and so sly... I rock!
Bass player? That explains a lot... no really. Though I can totally see you in court, I have a hard time seeing you in a frat'.
Soccer? I thought you said you were a boxer?

Ha! I don't think getting my ass kicked constitutes boxing.
And frat, yet, but a little untraditional. It was independent and we were all poor so...
And, Noah, 100 pushups? Not bad, my friend, not bad.

"I decided to rebel against everything, except of course, rebellion."
Paul, I think this pretty much says it all. :)
Hey, I can't believe you kept it clean. Not one Friggn' F-Bomb. Are you sure you wrote this?

I'm with you Darmano! We were talking about getting custom t-shirts made for Paul (thanks to your t-shirt design post); my recommendation was "Hee-Haw" on the front and then the words "Fu@# that sh&%!" on the back.
(He's kinda got a potty mouth.)

Now that's what I call a T-Shirt!
Posted by: David Armano | December 11, 2006 at 11:38 PM
I will buy one of those as long as it has Paul's face on the front!

Paul- Are you listening to your readers?
Get cracking young man!
Posted by: Tim Jackson | December 12, 2006 at 07:20 AM
DA- I think there was some questionable language in there! I'll try to increase my use of the word fuck, just for you. :)
And, T-Shirts coming. With me, giving the thumbs up, and "Fuck that Shit" tattoo'ed across my forehead. It's gonna be awesome.
Posted by: Paul McEnany | December 12, 2006 at 09:20 AM
LOL. Okay. The comments on this "5 things" meme have totally taken the fucking cake. Bar none.
I will not only purchase said shirt, Paul. I'll change all my profiles everywhere to it for a yet to determined period.
