    Jack: All of those are distinct possibilities.

    Except for living in Cleveland for three weeks and surviving.

    No way.

    Of course, thats if you consider Ezzie a “surviver”.

    I will answer each line, but I think that I am going to sit on this a bit longer.

    I’m guessing all of the following are true:

    • Appeared on a Game Show.
    • Been hit by a car.
    • Played bass in a garage band.
    • Successfully drank a gallon of beer at one sitting.
    • Lived in cleveland for three weeks and survived.
    • Benchpressed 330 pounds.
    • Was employed as a professional clown.

    After that, I’m not going to hazard any more guesses. And I guess I was wrong about playing the bass.

    CB,

    Clowns are one of those things that some people love and others hate.

    LS,

    As much as I’d love to say that those three are correct, the answer is no. But who knows what the future holds.

    Heh. I’ll guess 3, 8 and 9 are true and having arrived via your profile, I might add I’m surprised at how much we have in common considering the difference in our ages.

    Nice blog.
