Tagged, But Never Bagged!
I've never actually heard of this 'tagging' thing, but since Dalton Girl was kind enough to tag me, I'm gonna do it.
Four Jobs I've Had
1. My first job (aside from paper-boy duty) was as Bottle Boy. I sorted all the bottles and cans that people returned for deposits at a small grocery store in Portland, OR. Strange fact that I learned – apparently it is a legal requirement that all beer bottles be returned with a half-inchof rancid beer and/or a couple of cigarette butts left in the bottom.
2. Software tester for WordPerfect.
3. Software tester for crappy financial planning software.
4. Software tester for Top Spin – the best selling tennis video game ever. (All in all, I think the bottle boy gig was probably the best. Cause hey, every once in a while… Free soda and bottle caps!)
Four Movies I Can Watch Over and Over Again
1. Raising Arizona
2. Cabin Boy
3. The Blues Brothers
4. Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo (Just kidding – I had to put a smarmy answer in there somewhere. I’ll say The Purple Rose of Cairo instead.)
Four Places I've Lived
1. Portland, Oregon (If you live a good life, say your prayers and read your scriptures, when you die, you’ll go to Oregon.)
2. Provo, Utah
3. Gifu, Japan
4. Kent, Washington
Four TV Shows I Love
1. Lost
2. Smallville (I know it is stupid, but I like it anyway. I’m a sucker for super-hero shows, even if everyone acts they should be on Dawson Creek.)
3. Boston Legal
4. Spongebob Squarepants
Four Highly Regarded and Recommended TV Shows That I've Never Watched a Full Episode of
1. Survivor (or any other “reality” show, though that Makin’ Play-Do Sculptures With The Stars looks pretty good.)
2. Will and Grace
3. CSI: Anything
4. The A-Team (I’m pretty ashamed of this one. Please don’t tell.)
Four Places I've Vacationed
1. Disneyland
2. Sedona, Arizona
3. My parent’s house
4. Deborah’s parent’s house
Four of My Favorite Dishes
1. Gyoza (as made by my wife, who was taught by Dalton Girl – Thanks D-Shimai. See I still remember and love you.)
2. Pizza from The Flying Pie Pizzeria in Portland.
3. Steak from the Stony River steakhouse in Atlanta, Georgia.
4. My own special blend of Fruit Loops, Apple Cinnamon Cheerios and Sugar Smax. It’s like a sugar bomb in your mouth!
Four Sites I Visit Daily
1. Ain’t It Cool News
2. PVP Online
3. MacRumors.com
4. IGN.com (Game news)
Four Places I'd Rather Be Right Now
1. The Justice League command center
2. Aboard the Enterprise with Captain Kirk on the Bridge
3. Eating lunch at the cruise ship buffet at a table with Gordon B. Hinkley, Steven Jobs, Walt Disney (after he is thawed out and cleaned up) and Mary Tyler Moore.
4. Floating down the Lazy River with my loving family
Four Bloggers I Am Tagging
1. Clariticity
2. Clariticity
3. Clariticity
4. Clariticity (Let’s face it. Banzai and Leslie-Chan are the only two people on the planet who read this. And since she tagged me, there aren’t a lot of other choices. Thanks for reading it though – even though I go months without updating. It is nice to know you still care.)

1. There is a tear in my eye right now. Maybe even two. Am so touched that you read my blog.
2. You lived in Gifu? I lived in Gifu! Small world. (Or small mission.)
3. Just watched Raising Arizona on Friday (daltonboy got it for his birthday on DVD). Take THAT, you icy bastard!
4. Can I go to lunch on the cruise ship with you?

I lived in Gifu after you. There were folk tales about you and an all-you-can-eat sushi shop as I recall.
Did Daltonboy like Raising Arizona? Ask him what the matching tatoos mean - that will keep him up at night.
And of course you can come to lunch with us. Just don't go crazy with the sushi at the buffet.

Okay, it's time that URBAN LEGEND was put to rest. I have never even BEEN to an all-you-can-eat sushi shop, and I never even raised my chopsticks with the woman that you are referring to. Never ever. One time I went to her house and watched her kid play Nintendo. That's it. I admit, I have always been able to put away my share of food and more, but I never embarrassed myself THAT badly on my mission. Also, please remember that there was another sister that people thought I looked like. I bet it was her.
Anyway, we already had RA on VHS--we just got it on DVD, so yeah, it's a family favorite. DB and DB Jr. are constantly saying, "And when there was no greens, we ate sand." "You ate sand?" "We ate sand."
Yay for the cruise ship buffet! I would never go crazy at the sushi bar if President Hinckley was there.

I had no idea, Mike. Sorry to have left you out of the list.
Woo Hoo! This takes my readership up to 3. I wonder if I can start charging for advertising yet?

Let's see, at your current rate you should post again about the end of April.
If you post more your readership will go up!

Dude! Your known readership quadrupled!! You should get BlogPatrol or something and find out how many people REALLY read your blog. I bet they number in the tens. Or even hundreds. Possibly millions. Would that motivate you to post more?

I just finished reading your blog. Very interesting. I am from Vancouver, Wa. Where do you live now? I am also LDS. What is your last name?
Just wondering.
Have a great day.
