Okay, I’m game - but I’m not going to pass the tagging on. These things can get out of hand.
The rules:
Each person tagged gives 7 random facts about themselves. Those tagged need to write in their blogs the 7 facts, as well as the rules of the game. You need to tag seven others and list their names on your blog. You have to leave those you plan on tagging a note in their comments so they know that they have been tagged and to read your blog. Here are my facts:
1. I collected comic as a kid. I subscribed to Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, X-Men and G.I. Joe for a few years.
2. I keep a canister of waterproof Boeing lubricant on my dresser.*
3. For the first several years I knit, I made nothing but hats. The year I started this blog, I think I knit three sweaters.
4. I have accounts on this blog, MySpace, Flickr, and a couple of sites that you need a credit card to access.
5. One of these facts is a lie.
6. As a kid, my father made me, my brother, and my sister memorize two important American literary artifacts: Thomas Jefferson’s line “. . . accordingly, all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they have become accustomed” from the Declaration of Independence, and the third verse of the Star Spangled Banner.
7. I own three kilts and one scooter. They are not compatible.
*Get your mind out of the gutter.

3 kilts and 1 scooter incompatible. The ladies might disagree with you!

They are completely compatible… just not for the person riding AND wearing.
You should have added the dirty mind asterisk to number 4 as well, I’m just saying.
Its hard to say which fact is a lie…. I think I’ll go with #1, it only being a lie because you still collect them. Am I right? Am I?

Just wear bike shorts under the kilt when you ride. Or keep your knees together.

If you think a bike is incompatible with kilt wearing, just try to imagine riding a horse in one.

You know, Wendy, try as I might, I can’t envision a horse in a kilt. I mean, you know how much fabric that would take?

How did you know my mind went into the gutter?!

Some of our Critical Massers ride bikes in kilts, I’ve seen them. Just fyi.
Lilith’s right, bike shorts, man.

Thanks for #7. It made me giggle out loud. People are staring, but I needed a laugh.

Don’t forget: ” On the plains of hesitation bleach the bones of millions who sat to wait and, waiting, died.”

..and here I was thinking it was as big as an airplane.

Yeah, a horse in a kilt would take a lot of fabric, but I’m sure the pictures would be in every inbox in the country within 24 hours.

The kilt wearing horse (or burro) sounds just like a project that you would seriously investigate, since you have easy access to a sewing machine and the burro! I can’t wait to see the picture! (You are quite clever with a digital camera and the computer so the possibilities are endless!)

So how often does a waterproof Boeing need lubrication?
