Here's a nifty chance for me to increase my shady reputation by bleeps and pounds little game. I'll list ten "facts" about myself. You tell me which ones are true and which ones are false.
Ready? Then let's begin:
1. I had lunch in the principal's office every single day of fourth grade because I would not stop punching the boy I had a devastating crush on in the face to get his attention.
2. I was in a beauty contest at age 25 and fell off the stage into a potted palm.
3. I sold my swim team trophies to finance my first tattoo.
4. At age 22, I was the middle-weight mud-wrestling champion of my area for 3 months.
5. One of my ex-mothers-in-law tried to run over me with a sky-blue 1973 Buick.
6. I am allergic to oysters.
7. Ben Stein popped my bra strap once.
8. I was asked to leave Mexico and never return.
9. I am deathly afraid of chickens.
10. At age 4, inspired by a Wide World of Sports special on cliff divers, I tried to dive into the bathtub from a standing position on the top of the toilet. Two weeks after the stitches came out, I tried it the other way round. I still have the scars.
(once again, stolen from Lee at Oh No The Blog, although I know I've seen it somewhere else as well.... somebody will tell me, won't you?)

7. F (I figure ol' Ben would show signs of a prior broken nose)

On second thought, maybe they are all true.
