Five Things You Should’nt Know About Me (I’ve Been Tagged!)
December 21st, 2006, by Michael Stelzner
Remember running around on the playground as kids and tagging your friends?
Well, a virtual version of this game is going down online.
Dianna Huff has tagged me.
So, now I need to tell you five things you never wanted to know about me:
- My first business was selling worms to locals in Wisconsin (lasted about 2 weeks)
- My first real job was cleaning a university kitchen 40 hours per week (floors, machines, etc. - VERY boring, I lived for lunch break)
- One of my ancestors wrote the story that was the basis for Fiddler on the Roof
- I eat at Carl’s Jr. daily for lunch; they know me in the drive through! (Typical order: BBQ chicken sandwich, side salad instead of fries w/ vinaigrette and diet, no ice.)
- My young girls have got in the habit of saying “Mommy’s always right!”
I hereby tag:
- Tom Chandler, Copywriter Underground
- Jonathan Kantor, White Paper Pundit
- Seth Godin (I’ll be shocked if he even plays)
- Liz Strauss, Successful-Blog
- Jill Konrath, Selling to Big Companies

Carl’s Jr *every* day? Ooooh, your arteries must be protesting! And, your daugthers show great wisdom. Plus, they are only quoting the Grateful Dead — “the women are smarter.”

Selling worms? Eww!

Dianna - I should have noted that I sub a grilled chicken salad a few days a week.
Orderer - Yes it was gross

Isn’t being tagged fun? I love your 5 things. Although Carl’s, Jr., threw me for a minute, since I’m on the East Coast and all. I figured it out fast, I promise. ;]

Hey Kristen - I think they call it Hardee’s on the East Coast. - Mike

They do indeed, and they have the best bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast biscuits ever. I used to treat myself on the days I drove to work instead of taking the train. Mmmmm, saturated fats….

Yes, especially their $6 Burger!
I think that Carl’s and Hardee’s marketing niche is being the burger chain that makes the biggest and messiest sandwiches.

I think Carl’s Jr has some of the best fast food out there (next to Wendy’s killer salads).
