Twenty-Five Random Things About Me
You've probably seen the chain email about this little game. Frankly, I don't do chain email (see #1 below) but a friend of mine got such a good response on Facebook that I had to post something as well. It's on Facebook if you'd like to go there to read it, but what the heck, I wrote it, I can post it anywhere I like. So, without further ado:
Twenty-Five Random Things About Steve Fey
1. I don't do chain letters.
2. I think Casablanca is the best movie ever made. Except when I'm watching Citizen Kane.
3. The cheeseburger is the greatest gift ever given to a hungry world.
4. I've owned a slew of Ford motor vehicles in my life. Got rid of the last one last Labor Day weekend.
5. If you think you know how to fix our educational system, by all means get in here and get to work!
6. Outside of the cheeseburger, pizza is the greatest gift ever given to a hungry world.
7. The odds are that a person has no idea what the odds are.
8. I think the addiction some locals have to "the old Las Vegas" is probably a condition listed in the DSM.
9. The DSM is the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychological Association.
10. My favorite cake is red devil's food with boiled caramel icing. (Put red food coloring in and it's red velvet cake.)
11. I've never passed a parking test, but I've been licensed by four jurisdictions.
12. I once got hit by a truck, head on, while riding a motorcycle. I suffered a moderate concussion, which means that I survived after being knocked out. I do not recommend the experience.
13. I think twenty-five is a heck of a lot of facts to come up with.
14. I'm glad they're close to catching the Tylenol poisoner.
15. In spite of cheeseburgers and pizza, the best food I've ever had is the crab stuffed lemon sole at Spice Buffet under the casino at Planet Hollywood.
16. I could swear I used to get that dish at the Aladdin. Huh.
17. My doctor expects me to live well past a hundred. I'm not sure this is a good idea.
18. I'm not a good gambler because I do know the odds. Takes the fun out of it.
19. I discovered that getting a PhD is a symptom of ADD. Go figure, right?
20. The funniest movie I ever saw as a kid was The Shaggy Dog. On the fourth viewing I was still almost wetting my pants at it.
21. My favorite film genre is comedy.
22. That said, the Pink Panther series with Steve Martin is nowhere near as good as the originals.
23. The fact that they are remaking The Karate Kid is proof of something. Something sort of disturbing.
24. I really liked War and Peace once I found a decent translation of it. Never could stand Anna Karenina in any form, including film.
25. I'm glad to have gotten to number twenty-five. It would be embarrassing to run out of things to say about yourself after only twenty-four measly things!
