I already do have an alternative resume. It's my blog. Recruiters and HR people usually end up on it and many have written me personally to comment on something I wrote long ago. It works just like you describe but it is more descriptive of my true self than some quirks or characteristics. People remember me, but not because I passingly mentioned that I was training for an ultramarathon but because I wrote a 4 page blog entry sharing my experience as a first-time runner.
Also, there could be legal ramifications for companies who read things like skin color on alt. resumes. A hiring manager would rather not know your race or age till after they've selected or dropped your resume for the phone interview round.
