Previous: Seven Thousand Years Ago Tomorrow

I Wuz “Tagged”

I am a sucker for a females request. I learned long ago the power of the two little words, Yes, dear. with regard to personal health and well being, so I did as I was told by Ms. Rama-Lama-Ding-Dong of OD here (some may know of her by just her stage name, Lama), but I will not be able (due to stoopidity) to follow all the friggin tekkie linking directions called for soooo here it is as I got it (cept for the answers). Tag amongst yourselves

*****************

Quirk Tag

Directions: Complete the topic and then go tag, tag, tag. It is helpful if you let them know you are tagged and set up links to their diary so everyone can see the answers. I am going to try and do just that…..if it doesn’t work, my bad.

1. I am totally addicted to:
Playing only 8-track tapes in my car. (Can I tell you how long it has been since Ive had a fix? I just cant get that monkey off my back.)

2. I have issues with:
Issuers.

3. I like to sleep:
Most often during my non-waking hours.

4. Until just recently I hated:
Gravity. It is solely responsible for weight gain, falls from bar stools, and a myriad of other unpleasantries. However, I recently discovered it is an essential element in the pouring and consumption of beer so I guess its one of those Catch-22 things.

5. When I get tired I:
Is getting tired like getting toilet-papered only its with Goodyears hung up in your trees? Thankfully, Ive never experienced it. Bet its expensive too to pay all those disposal fees when you get them down.

6. Sometimes I have a sudden urge to:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Sudden urge??!! Im freakin 56 years old!! Sudden urge you say??!! Let me tell you, I damn sure better not have any sudden urges. ALL must be in the routine or thoroughly planned for. I mean from predestined pit-stops on a road trip to Viagra on the night stand. I cant stand me no sudden urges let me tell ya.

7. I love:
Memories of sudden urges. Sigh.

8. I collect:
Dust mostly.

9. Sometimes in the middle of a conversation I:
Confirm with whomever Im talking to that we are actually in the middle of the conversation, as in: Hey, (insert name here) are we in the middle here cause I have to be somewhere? (I have found this to be a particularly useful tool when speaking with wimmin)

10. When I get home from work my favorite thing to do is:
Turn off the ignition in my car.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!

Ah, dear Phaedrus, you are an in-the-moment guy. I like that about you. You have a great Thanksgiving, too!

re: #6 – sadly we could never take a road trip together as I DO get sudden urges and when I do there had better be a gas station/ convenience store and someone willing to stop real suddenly. Happy Thanksgiving to you too…

Thank you for your compliance. I like to reserve my ‘come hither’ stare for those times when shopping is the outcome. This time of year…well, ya know.

LOL at Sugar Magnolia’s note! Thanks for the laugh, P. I can always count on you to not take things seriously 😉

“I collect: Dust mostly.” But this would be prior to the fall from the barstool, yes? That would shake it all off! Sort of a self-cleaning system. Hopefully that Sudden-Urge Viagra is dust free. Sudden Urge Viagra – what a great new brand name! Quick! Someone get me a patent!

Hey is that you I see in my driveway sometimes, collecting dust by rolling around with my cat? You’d like Alberta I bet. Out there they have a bumper sticker, “I spend most of my money on beer and women. The rest of it I waste.”

RYN: No – the ‘joke’ wouldn’t work. In fact, he complained to the guys after 9/11 that he had to stop carrying the “naked pictures of my wife” They just stared at him. Finally “You actually have naked pictures of your wife?” He answered, “Well, yeah, don’t you?” One guy cleared his throat and said “Not of YOUR wife I don’t, but I could sure use some”. Thought you’d appreciate that 😉

as i recall, sudden urges have been some of the more fun times.
