Because I was tagged by [livejournal.com profile] shezan

Once tagged by this entry, the assignment is to write a blog entry of some kind with six random facts about yourself. Then, pick six of your friends and tag them; no tag backs. This explanation should be included.

Self tagging is enabled.

1. I'm listed in the relevant climbing guide as a member of two first ascent teams. One route was in the Madawaska Highlands and the other at Lac Poisson Blanc.*

2. I tried, unsuccessfully, to tickle for trout at the state hatchery at Lake Taupo. One can't take a bear anywhere?

3. The plastic surgeon I was referred to after my face got cut up in a car accident was called Butcher.

4. Back in the days of MS-DOS I was adept at cracking the copy protection on software.

5. I published an article about business process re-engineering a year before Hammer's book came out. Index came from old Vladivostok telephone directory.

6. I once won a bet by eating a whole baby Wensleydale cheese that had been rolled down Great Shunner Fell.

* This is a fine example of Canadian linguistic politics at it's crassest. The body of water in question was known for years as Whitefish Lake. Being Quebec, linguistic correctness demanded that it be given a French name but the official cartographers were too gormless to come up with the etymologically correct translation of Lac Corégone.

Oh. Those are a wonderful collection of intriguing facts. *grin* My orthopedic surgeon is named Michael D. Butcher. I think the initial makes it particularly choice. *grin* I love Tom Lehrer. Oooh, Wensleydale. *laugh* I don't actually like it that well but how can one argue with Wallace & Gromit.
