SIX TRUTHS AND ONE OUTRAGEOUS LIE

Well my thanks (I think) to Joshua Reynolds for tagging me on this meme-virus thing.

So now I must now list six outrageous lies and one truth about myself (or vice-versa), then afflict six others. As I am a champion of truth I will choose to do the Vice-versa. So here are six absolute truths and one outrageous lie:

1.) I met William Shatner at an event in Vancouver called the "Lift for Life" celebrating Rick Hansen's "Man in Motion" tour. I walked up to him, shook his hand and blathered something about Captain Kirk being my boyhood hero. He thanked me and I went back to where I had been sitting with a group of people wearing Starfleet Uniforms.

2.) I have stood six feet away from J.R.R. Tolkien. (or at least what remained of him after having been dead for years).

3.) I once peed on the grounds of Buckingham Palace.

4.) I once told Spider Robinson a pun so bad it made him laugh and pretend to bang his head on a restaurant table.

5.) I once tricked a room full of klingons into whistling the theme to the Andy griffith Show.

6.) I once rudely interrupted Bryan Adams in order to talk to two British actresses. (Amanda Donohoe and Sammi Davis)

7.) I was once made into a vampire. While I was being transformed the room filled up with other vampires and I was inducted into their society. I then went into a lounge and ordered a Bloody Mary and spent the rest of the evening drinking with Raymond E. Feist.

(I should point out that the vampire thing didn't take and I am no longer one of the undead.)

So it's up to you to figure out which is the outrageous lie. It's probably not the one you think.


I'm supposed to tag six people but I don't think I'm gonna do that. I'll just send a shout out to my good buddy G. W. Thomas at Dark Worlds. I'm sure he's got some stories.

I've been here and there. I've drawn a lot of pictures. I've written a bit, too. I'm not good at this self-promotion thing. Look, you want to know about me? just visit these websites. Okay?

ROBOTS!

I love robots. I mean, who doesn't? (aside from a few future-fearing luddites who are kept awake at night by nightmarish visions of cylons destroying the same humanity that created them... or future fearing luddites who think that the "3-Laws Safe" robot line just isn't good enough... or future fearing luddites who just can't tolerate the idea of Victor Frankenstein's unholy creation sharing the same air as the rest of the God-fearing village).

Hmm. Maybe not everybody loves robots.

But I do.

10 FACTS...

I'm not sure where this whole 10 FACTS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ME got started. I just read about 10 made-up facts about Joshua Reynolds.

For some reason that prompted me to write 10 facts you didn't know about me but are ABSOLUTELY true. (in no particular order)

1. Harlan Ellison once told me I was weird to my face.

2. I have deliberately dribbled wine down my chin in a fancy restaurant while talking to the waitress.

3. I once had to shout (in all seriousness) "Don't play baseball with the salami!"

4. I once entered a "Design a Monster for Doctor Who Contest" put on by the BBC. I won third prize: a Doctor Who book autographed by Peter Davidson.

5. I once stole a tray of sandwiches from a catering table at a beauty pageant

6. I once received a telepathic message from my wife. I cannot explain it to this day.

7. I have heard wolves howling at the moon while I was in the deep woods at night. Later that night those same wolves ran through our camp.

8. I am the great, great, great, great, great grand nephew of Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918) of the Canadian Army. He is famous for writing "In Flanders Fields".

9. I once got drunk while hosting a radio show in Vancouver.

10. Moebius once drew a couple of pictures for me. I only asked for his autograph
