8 simple things you never knew.

Mary Bishop has tagged me with one of those list thingys.

Here are the chain letter rules:
Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

I) I used to act until I realized I wasn't any good at it.

2) I played the prom date that raped "a tv actress" in her TV movie life story. I was cast simply because I looked like the guy who raped her not on my acting ability.

3) I cast the nude actors and ended up being Joe Dallesandro's body double for a Zalman King film.

4) I wrote a gay porn by gleaning dialog from two very well known films. One film was a Jodie Foster "space film" and other was a sequel to the biggest dinosaur film ever. It is currently available at your local smut shop. It was the most dialog those actors ever read. All 12 pages.

5) I don't eat anything that comes out of the ocean.

6) I don't eat any meat if it contains bones or if I can recognize the part of the animal it came from. For the most part all meat must be very well done. I don't want any soul in the meat when I eat it. It's nuts, I know... but that's the way it has to be. Well done and soul-less.

7) I bite my nails unless things are going really bad then I forget to bite them and they grow way too long.

8) I can swim... sort of. It's more of a dog paddle. I am afraid of drowning so as a rule I do not go swimming. The ocean frightens me so you'll never catch me in it. Ever. To avoid any problems I just tell people I can't swim.


I'm not going to be tagging anyone because I want you all to tell your stories at your own pace. Yes these are things that wont bother me if they try to rear their ugly heads later.

I think your list is more interesting than mine. I should have mentioned some of my celebrity/showbiz links.

Okay, is it a contradiction to say you don't eat anything out of the ocean but you do swin and bite your nails? Or do you never put your fingers in ocean water?

Oh, that Suzanne Somers movie! I'm totally intrigued now. What was your character's name? Or, like Suzanne, are you "Keeping Secrets"?

I Bite my nails. I don't eat them silly.

You're a good sport for responding to the call of the meme. I do think your facts are very interesting and love the idea of telling people you can't swim rather than telling them you're afraid of drowning! I understand the meat thing too...I'd call you a bonegan as opposed to a vegan.

Oh, sorry, Gavin, hope you didn't think I was stalking you! But probably wise that you made it a bit more vague. I'm also glad to know that you chew not swallow your nails.

Oh, in case you ever want to check out my body of work on TV, I have a five second walk on part in a Filipino TV movie during a scene shot in San Mateo. I play a lawyer because I was the only friend of the PA that was over six feet and owned a decent looking suit. My line was something like "Do you still want to prosecute or drop the charges?" I never got a dime for that role, damn it. Try to find that one on imdb!

JT I've actually been trying to figure out what tv movie this is.

I too stay away from most seafood except tuna or salmon here and there.

And Rosie O'Donnell.
