Is The Tag Fairy Gonna Find Us On This Board??

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.


I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.


Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets. I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hand gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.


I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal force demonstration. I bat .400. My deft floral arrangements have earned my fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.


I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradies Lost, Moby-Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish and entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.


I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four-course meals using only a Mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.


But I have not yet been tagged.

With apologies to Hugh Gallagher, the NYU college applicant to whom this essay has been attributed.
 
So, Joe...was Hugh Gallagher accepted to NYU?

I think I am invisible to the tag fairy, but it's okay. I'll get over it...some day... :sad:

So they say. There's an internet web site that has an interview of him. Apparently, he did go to NYU and then started a writing career, I think.

I remember coming across that essay when I was applying for college and thinking that I would never get in anywhere, if that's what it took...
 
i wonder how we can persude the tag fairy here?
or has she gone on a well earned vacation to do the in park quests and has forgotten all about us here at the boards?

i wonder...

I haven't heard from the TF is a while. The Tag Fairy is the one that puts the other text under your username. Look under my username.
 
My inner goodness is not affected by weather or not I get tagged. I know I don't post enough to have the tag fairy find me. I still read as many posts as I find interesting and helpful. Thank you "Disers" for all the helpful information on WDW, DVC and VMK. It is a community effort and we all reap the rewards; tagged or not.

Aieee, blinded by glitter!!! :earseek: :smooth: Pretty neat snuggie; I knew you had the Tinkerbell before, but I saw the text glitterification instructions elsewhere too. :)

I don't know anything about the Tag Fairy, but has anyone else heard the rumors of the Evil Tag Fairy, the one that strikes naughty Dis'ers in the dead of night? Beware! Be nice or else... :angel:

Where does one find text glitterification instructions??

There weren't any instructions, but see this post on another site where someone was volunteering to glitterize text for people (I saw snuggie's request).

I'm sure people with graphics skills could fix it up for you, although I wouldn't know how.
 
Heart your tag Bezoar!

Lucky you!
