Rules: Post five things you've done that you believe nobody else on your F-list has done. Indulge in remorse if someone calls you out on a listed item.


1. Interrupted the attempted exorcism of a haunted vending machine.

2. Taken an oath on a goalie stick.

3. Been the subject of an article in a pediatric surgical journal.

4. Traveled several thousand miles to a foreign country to take pictures of a manky old pillow from a dead man's grave.

5. Used a seminary ID card to get a student discount to see South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.

BONUS:

6. Had an apartment blessed by an Anglican priest who later became the Primus of Scotland.

FTW!

Of all the five things meme's I've seen, you win!

I can't tell which is my favorite, the interrupted exorcism, or the student discount.

(by the way, are you coming up to GNEW this year?)

The student discount resulted in me literally falling out of my seat into the aisle, laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. And the exorcism - was very interesting. Really.

(alas, no - my next SCA event is probably Pennsic, unless I'm dumb enough brave enough to go to the War Practice in Glenn Linn, home of mosquitoes bigger than my car)

Erm, whats the Primus of Scotland?
It's not a gasoline powered portable stove, right?

The Primus is the head of the Anglican Church in Scotland. My then roommate attended a church where Father Holloway (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Holloway)was the rector and asked him to bless our apartment. He agreed, and it took place at our housewarming. He later returned to Britain, became Bishop of Edinburgh, and then was Primus of Scotland for most of the 1990's.
