Blog Tag - 5 things You Didn’t Know About Todd Malicoat
If you're new here, you may want to learn more about me, introduce yourself or check out my best posts. Thanks for visiting!
Despite it being the equivalent of an e-mail chainletter - it’s a fun meme - and it’s a great way to get to know some folks of the web. Ben Wills “blog tagged” me, so here goes. After a bit of hunting, I was also tagged by DG. Props to Jeff Pulver for starting the fun little viral game.
1. I went to college part time for over 7 years (and got a bachelor’s degree). I was a waiter for several years through my college career, and think all people should have to do two jobs for at least a month in their lifetimes - wait tables and be a link monkey. The world would be a better place.
2. I played defensive tackle for my high school football team (at a whopping buck thirty five) - We were 11-1, and two wins from being state champions. I did several other sports including baseball, basketball, and pole vault. Now typing reeeeeeally fast is about the best excercise I get on most days.
3. I own a set of turntables that I mix and scratch hip-hop and breakbeat music on just for fun (sample). “stuntdubl” was my “basement dj name” for music long before it was my online seo alter ego.
4. I met my girlfriend online (yes, I like the internet THAT much).
5. There’s nearly nothing I’d rather do than spend a day deep sea fishing in florida. (Going in a few weeks - woohoo!)
I’m going to make this a little difficult and tag: Jim Boykin, Greg Boser, Todd Friesen, Aaron Wall, and see if we can get Matt Cutts to admit he was like James Bond at the NSA
Added: After digging around on some sites - three of my tags have already been tagged, so I’d like to call out Cameron, Jarrod, and Mike.

Wow… you played Tackle. I never would have guessed that. So are you a Giants fan or a Jets fan?

Yep - corner and safety my jv years - varsity the coaches didn’t like me so well:)
As painful as it has become - I am actually a Lions fan. If forced, I would probably root for the New York Football Giants over the Jets

Tackle at a buck thirty-five? Did you carry brass knucks?
I grew up near Cincinnati, and had to deal with a decade of bad ball from the Bengals. This year there’s a little bit to cheer about. And then there was always the Buckeyes. And The Reds. I grew up in the era of the Big Red Machine.
Tackle eh? At 14 I was 6′1″ and 180. At 16, 6′4″ and 210. Always played DE.

Haha … Todd, great answer about the gf.
By the way, we have few things kind of in common…
college part time for over 7 years and the music stuff.

Ah yes, a Lions fan. In the SEO world, I’ve only heard of two others that will admit to that other than myself - Rebecca from SEOmoz being the other. Maybe one more win this season?

Wow, a DJ huh… you may have guessed by all the music quotes on my sometime blog, that I love music.
Finally another SEO who might actually know who Little Brother is.
AND BTW: one fact about me you may not have known: When I was younger, I was the Official Cardboard Carrier (sp?) for my brothers and his breakdance crew (it was the only way I could hang out with them)
And: if you are a liner note reader (like me) you’ll probably like my friend from college’s blog : http://www.jonolivermusic.com , he’s a dj in NYC but his blog is a beathead paradise… check out the weekly downloads and you’ll see what I mean

Todd:
Fun to learn more about you, thanks!
I just created a “blog tag tree” that is tracking all these (trying to get caught up still!). Fun!

I was a 135lb wide receiver with a defensive tackles hands and speed. Needless to say I am not at home preparing for the game Sunday. Unless you consider stocking the fridge and cleaning off the TV screen preparing.

5 Things You Don’t Know About Me…
I’ve been tagged, twice. First time by Todd and then again by Jarrod. For those of you wondering what the hell I’m talking about it this is kind of like a chainletter, but it’s done through blogs. The purpose of this one is to write …

Interesting factoids, I like the 7 years of college. I bet you did your share of partying. Have fun deep sea fishing.

[...] 1. My grandpa could have run a front for the Iowa mafia, but turned them down Who would have even guessed there would be such a thing as the Iowa mafia…let alone that they would need a front. Still. It would have been sweet if I was a card-carrying member of the mafiosa. I wish I could have gotten the full story from him before he was sleeping with the fishes. 2. like Todd, i also was a waiter for many years. That all came to a crashing halt when a customer at chili’s found a handle from the mashed potato machine sticking out of his side and loudly and intensely complained. I laughed, he got madder, I realized my subservient days had to be over. [...]

>share of partying.
Actually most of those days was full/part time work and full/part time school at community college. Wasn’t a huge party scene actually - and I was really never much of a drinker.
>official cardboard carrier
Awesome story - I’ll have to check out little brother - I actually didn’t know them - but they were described as similar to tribe called quest - ironically enough, when I read I was listening to Jazz (we’ve got) from the low end theory album.
Most of my hip-hop knowledge is stuck in the early 90’s
>defensive tackles hands and speed.
SEO is so much easier on the body:)

I too am stuck in 90’s and late 80’s hip-Hop (was just listening to EPMD’s “Please listen to my Demo” - 1 of my favorite songs) I’ll upload some Little Brother to a folder on my site for you then ping you - I would classify their albums as Hip Hop Classics, and I don’t say that often. They are one of the few recent hip-hop groups that I like. They also give away (yes I said “give away music”) under the name of their extended group: Justus League. They are on myspace as well, and you can hear some of their music there - http://www.myspace.com/littlebrother. Also if you’ve never listened to it, you need to get 9th Wonder’s (the third memeber of their group and producer/dj) remix of Nas’s “God’s Son” - that has basically been sold out on wax for so long - lol.

[...] 1. Like Todd, I am into music… though, no turntables (yet), I play guitar, piano, drums, saxophone… and write, sing, and produce music. Though, I wasn’t voted “Most Likely to Take Over the World,” like Rebecca, my high school classmates voted me “Best Musician” and I received numerous music scholarship offers from colleges, but… [...]

[...] I think it started with the “5 things you didn’t know about me” blog tag. Even I succumbed to that one - as did countless others - it seemed like everyone else was doing it - it was all in good fun. But after seeing the success of “5 things” others decided to launch new ones like “5 books I read”, “5 magazines I read“, “5 reasons I blog” and the list seems to just keep growing. [...]
