Tagged by Tweetey. I'll make this one a voluntary tag only, since I think a lot of people might've done this already. Just tell us seven things about yourself, and explain them a little.
1. I love bats, rats, flying squirrels, ground squirrels, and just about any other rodent or rodent-like critter. They're so fun to watch, and very feisty; you'd think small prey animals would be all timid and shy, but they most certainly are not.
2. I love autumn and winter: The crispness and freshness in the air, the crunchy feeling of leaves underfoot, the sparkle of new snow. I don't think I could live anywhere that didn't have snow.
3. Karen's last post reminded me...I unapologetically don't like Che Guevara. Like most "selfless" revolutionaries he was a thug, a mass murderer, and a fascist. And please explain to me: If Marxism is so bloody marvelous, why is "post-Communist" Russia's greatest export women of child-bearing age? Why are Cubans piling into crappy little boats or onto leaky rafts on the off-chance they might reach, of all places, Florida?
4. Whew. OK. Just thinking about Che is giving me a headache. I'd better stick to things I love...like goofy-looking teddy bears. (I have a mini Goober on my desk) They always give me warm fuzzies.
5. I'm fascinated by accounts of alien abduction. They're a lot more interesting and complex than you might think...it's not all about UFOs and rectal probes.
6. My favorite song lately has been Chris Isaak's Can't Do a Thing To Stop Me. It was a hit when I was a kid, but I recently rediscovered it and I love it.
7. My favorite magazines are Harper's, Vanity Fair, and Skeptical Inquirer. But I can't resist Mad now and then.

Did you know that Oct 9th is the anniversary of Che's death? Dirtcrashr is pushing to have this holiday replace Columbus Day. I like that idea!
During our discussion, Monica said that she has a Che shirt. Only her shirt says "Murdering, Communist Bastard" under the familiar picture of Che. I WANT that shirt! ;)
I like the No Che T-shirts with his face crossed out. I definitely wouldn't want Che Day replacing Columbus Day...that's just swapping one murderous dickhead with another.
No, no, no...we'd be celebrating Che's DEATH!
Oh, well that's cool then. Count me in. ;D
