Caught in the BlogosphereTag, we're it

We were tagged on the Internet playground by Mike's Points for a "I bet you didn't this about me" meme. Since we have a cast of different authors here on BlogWorks, I thought I'd ask some of them for one fun fact...

Alicia Dorset: "I'm one of the founding members of Handmade Detroit, a craft/artist collective. We host the annual Detroit Urban Craft Fair."

Charlie Kondek: "I'm a third-degree black belt or 'san-dan' in kendo."

Chris Clonen: "I was a huge Islander fan growning up on Long Island."

Kai Blum: "None of my co-workers knew (until now) that I have a blog called 'My Dog Looks Like A Celebrity.'" This is true, I had no idea, Kai.

David Binkowski: "I was always taller than most of my classmates. This allowed certain "perks", among them the ability to earn money at the young age of 12 as a caddy. I was able to carry two bags at once, which got me a spot working with the international golf federation.

So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddie, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dali Lama, himself.

Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald — striking.

So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one — big hitter, the Lama — long, into a 10,000-foot crevice, right at the base of this glacier. And do you know what the Lama says? 'Gunga galunga — gunga, gunga galunga.'

So we finish 18, and he’s gonna stiff me. And I say, 'HEY! LAMA! HEY! How about a little something, you know, for the effort? You know.'

And he says, 'Oh, uh, there won’t be any money. But when you die, on your death bed, you will receive total consciousness.'

So I’ve got that going for me, which is nice." Thanks, Bill Murray!

I was never very good at picking kids for my kickball team in elementary school, so feel free to tag yourself and leave us a comment with things we might not know about you.

I knew that about Charlie, so I think he still owes you one :)

Ha, I agree! We need to find out which CDs he loves to listen to but hides from everyone else...

Hahaha! Alicia, you got me that Best of the Bar-Kays so I think you know my tastes quite well! Secret pleasures? You've caught me singing Les Miz around the office, haven't you? :D

I bet you didn't know that I almost fell down our front stairs yesterday...
