Okay, so this morning I was ‘memed’ on my good friend Sean Bossie’s blog.

Yeah, I had no idea what the hell that meant either.

In the real world a meme is defined as

“…any idea or behavior that can pass from one person to another by learning or imitation. Examples include thoughts, ideas, theories, gestures, practices, fashions, habits, songs, and dances. Memes propagate themselves and can move through the cultural sociosphere in a manner similar to the contagious behavior of a virus.” (thanks Wikipedia)

In the blog world, a meme is a set of questions a person is asked, and is then sent along from blog to blog.

So here goes.

6 Random Things You Wouldn’t Know About Me Unless You Asked

1. I lopped off one of my big toes with a lawnmower. The left one in case you’re curious.

2. I once spent a summer working for a company that turned trash into energy. My very important responsibilities included shoveling the trash and making sure the high-pressure pipes full of trash didn’t get clogged.
3. I broke both of my ankles playing football. Not at the same time.
4. I once carried around about 48lbs more fat on my body than I do now, but I was only 30lbs heavier than I am now. You can figure it out. Think.
5. I do a mean hokey-pokey with my 2 year old daughter and her Hokey-Pokey Elmo.
6. I once went out to dinner with James Doohan (Scottie from Star Trek). It was the first time I ever ate sushi. Mr. Doohan has since passed away, but I now list sushi as my favorite food. Thank you Mr. Scot.

So there you go. There’s my deepest secrets (well, sort of). Now, according to meme rules, I’m supposed to pass this on and see where it goes. So, the following people should consider themselves memed:

Barry Lovelace, premier volleyball training expert, animal lover, and good friend.

Bill Millios, friend, business partner, filmmaker, and owner of Back Lot Films, Inc.

Thomas Sjolshagen, long-time client, friend and all around computer geek.
