- I tied in a primary vote for Oregon's "Boy's State" Governor twice. In the third vote ONE person moved from me to the other guy so I lost. If I'd won, I'd have gone to "Boy's Nation" and would have met the president. Though I wasn't exactly what you could call a Clinton fan (understatement there) but still, meeting the Pres would have been cool. Also, I realize none of you probably know what Boy's State is...next campout I guess.
- I once dressed as a nerdy superhero with several other guys who did the same and while "disguised" we took apart the bathroom in the girls dorm, leaving a hall of girls with one sink, one shower, and one toilet. Note: They'd brought it on themselves by pranking us first.
- Every finals week in college I participated in a relay race around Midnight one night somewhere in the week. Not too weird I guess, except I left out that we ran the relay race with only shoes on. Can't say where or who that was with (there are some secrets still aren't there?)
- Ugh, can't believe I have to share all this stuff. OK, more (kind of) streaking. After my high school teammates and I won the state championship we wore tighty whitey's with tucked in white t-shirts and ran down various parts of Corvallis at night. Imagine seeing 9 guys, single file, running down the street at night with those tight white outfits. Now imagine you're a van full of cheerleaders from the same school, returning from a football game. Doh! We got some razzing on Monday for that one!!
- I've jumped off the bridge in SunRiver at night- the one with signs saying it's against the rules to jump- sans clothes (these sound kind of bad back-to-back-to-back like this, but that's it in 30 years, so respect me still please!)
- I've participated in multiple "Math Olympics" and "Speech Meets". Since I was good at sports too does that at least keep me from the "nerd" designation?
- I was in the Cub scouts, Wolf scouts, Bear scouts, Webelos then Boy scouts. I had my share of patches, badges, etc... but mainly just enjoyed the outdoor stuff and being with friends.
- I have jumped off many, many high rocks into rivers and lakes. The first one I ever did was when I was seven. I jumped off a 15 to 20 foot rock into a swimming hole after standing at the edge for at least an hour.

"MEME" finally
OK I've been awfully busy for a long time, so haven't been blogging much. I'll take a shot at this "MEME" thing though I'm not sure I have 8 unknown things (too many camp-outs with the guys to have much unknown at this point). Also, I'm not sure I'm following the rules on how this goes, and I'm not tagging anyone, but here's a shot at 8 things about me that you may not know...

I expected "nude math olympics" the way your stories were going...
"Since I was good at sports too does that at least keep me from the "nerd" designation?" Nope. You have dual citizenship. ;=)
OK, just labeling you by these stories, I would have to say you are a nerdy JockScout who has a hard time keeping his clothes on.
Hmmm...I can't say for sure, but I might have a video of you running your relay race one year...in the canyon...1998. I can name some names...but I won't.
response to Steph: That is NOT the same run. Ours was only for a select group. That was an entirely separate thing those other guys did. Ours was for true runners only and was in a specific (off campus) place.
Well, that makes it even MORE weird!!!!!
