Normally I ignore these things, but since Trias is one of our vanishingly small Australian readership, I feel like I ought to cater to those whims... 1. Heh. Bill thinks it's weird a man of my age plays with collects dolls action figures. All I can say is - after having to lace 1/6 scale leggings on to a not-very-helpful action figure, my respect for mortuary employees who have to dress dead midgets with rigor mortis has gone up immeasurably. 2. In my age demographic and labor category I'm unusual in that I could give a flying flip... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html Sun, 04 Feb 2007 08:52:53 -0600 this pic (actually, I ran a small business for him and 3 other partners). His family were all fanatical Purdue fans, and every now and then they would take a chartered jet as a family to see the Boilermakers play... The whole family! And I did learn to tell people "not yet" when asked if I was a ND fan, because that was better than "I don't like football...." which got me stared at like I was from mars. If pressed, I'd tell them I was an Arizona fan (and let them pick the college), which was ok--I was human, just misguided, and potentially redeemable. Not! When ND remodeled the stadium in the mid '90s, teh sold excess bricks for $100.00 each. And couldn't get enough. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56276 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56276 Mon, 05 Feb 2007 23:21:51 -0600 "Go Boilermakers!" Oh, gawd. You should see the traffic on football days here. Purdue may not be the Irish in terms of success but in terms of fanatacism? Yup. A big yup. Saturdays suck in the fall. ANd basketball is even worse. That said, I've never seen this place crazier than last night. Waaay to many people called in 'sick' today. Some people don't know when to say when. I hear you on the thesis, Sanger. More nose meets more grindstone. It ain't fun, but it does get over. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56274 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56274 Mon, 05 Feb 2007 21:48:41 -0600 *snerk* I'm a huggy person.... LOVE hugs. Which is kinda funny because I didn't when I was a kid- I used to shy away from anyone I didn't love who tried to hug me. and no, you did not look stupid. rather brilliant, actually. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56256 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56256 Mon, 05 Feb 2007 09:47:11 -0600 look stupid? Besides, I learned long ago to control my automatic reaction which was to back away as quickly as I could... I even insulted a senior officer once who just went to put his hand on my shoulder and a twisted down and out from under without thinking about ... He was mighty offended. Oh well. I hate being touched by people, male of female, without my consent. Just an oddity...]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56254 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56254 Mon, 05 Feb 2007 09:02:28 -0600 heheheheh... It would appear that I've managed to hug not one, but two Castle Denizens (John and Sanger) who "hate" hugs.

It left a nice stiff point to thread through those real small eyelets. 'course I still could'nt see them. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56236 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56236 Sun, 04 Feb 2007 23:53:01 -0600 I feel for her too.... :-O http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56234 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56234 Sun, 04 Feb 2007 22:58:15 -0600 Or better yet just a quick grope and a push off Man, I feel for your wife!]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56233 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56233 Sun, 04 Feb 2007 22:51:54 -0600 hate hugs from acquaintances and near-strangers, but I love hugs from friends... and friendly boys, too! *happy sigh*]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56225 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56225 Sun, 04 Feb 2007 18:45:10 -0600 ME TOO!!!! I HATE HUGS! What's wrong with a handshake... Or better yet just a quick grope and a push off... I HATE hugs... hate, hate, hate... And I hate football too... Happy supebowl day (I just found out) but I don't even know who's playing (cross my heart) and don't want to, haven't watched a football game in goin' on 8-10 years. Just stopped being interesting after Tom Landry went away. And Notre Dame killed my interest in College Football. Game's more important to that school than ANYTHING else. But I guess it's all about the money, 'cause ND has one GINORMOUS endowment and a gorgeous campus (about a mile from where I used to live--fortunately outside the football-day road system).... Go Boilermakers! Just to be contrary. And I HATE theses... hate, hate, HATE!! BUT, on the bright side only 5 more weeks and I am DONE! eggghhhhh...erk http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56221 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56221 Sun, 04 Feb 2007 16:47:05 -0600 huggers are weird...]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56219 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56219 Sun, 04 Feb 2007 14:53:18 -0600 Indeed you surprise me that you don't watch the History channel and such, but I understand the lack of time thing. You also forgot to add your aversion to hugging - which some would consider weird. I mean, it's not like you're a hermit and anti-social or sumthin. Yer quite fun to socialize with :-) http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56211 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/02/heh_i_got_tagge.html#comment-56211 Sun, 04 Feb 2007 10:24:33 -0600
