Okay, so Savannah did one of those “Questions” memes, but this one has a bit of a twist. In the old one, everyone got questions just for them, but in this one, after answering her questions I post 10 questions for anyone to answer on their blog or in comments. So, first I will answer her questions.
1. is there one book that you reread with some sort of regularity? (every 2 years, once a decade sort of thing) and if so, why?
There are several I’ve read multiple times like “To Kill a Mockingbird,” “The Great Gatsby” and “Fear in Loathing in Las Vegas” But, I don’t reread them regularly. Just when I feel like it.
Doc is rereading the whole Harry Potter series this summer and I was kind of inspired to do that too. But, now I think I might do something else. Not sure what though.
2. do you still watch cartoons? and if so, which ones and why those in particular?
Well some people consider anything animated a “cartoon.” I think that’s kind of silly, but if you do then I guess the answer is yes cause I do watch “Family Guy” and “South Park.” I also LOVE “King of the Hill” And, I do watch “Futurama” which I guess really is a cartoon. My favorite of all time? “The Tick.”
3. what's the one thing you can't imagine living without on a daily basis?
All my Twitter friends. I enjoy getting on there and chatting with everyone.
4. take out/take away or home cooking more than three times a week?
I rarely do take out. When I do a fast food burger it’s usually Wendy’s. I also love Subway. And, there is a local BBQ dude who works out of a trailer that kicks ass.
5. which is your most favorite room in your home?
Oh, I guess they’re all about equal. The room with the desktop is cooler and has a TV very close so I can better hear the dialog of whatever I’m watching though. So if I had to choose it would be that one.
6. are you currently following/regularly watching a tv series? which one and why?
“Justified” Because I enjoy that type of show and both Timothy Oliphant and Walt Goggins are tremendous in it.
“Treme” It’s an amazing story full of complicated and brilliant characters. I love shows that make you think and make you pay attention and draw you in and make you care about the characters. Also, I love New Orleans Jazz music and this show really highlights it beautifully.
7. have you seen the player?
Nope.
8. other than your blog, do you keep a personal journal?
Nope, but I guess this blog started out that way. At some point I decided that it was boring. Maybe I’ll do some sort of online journal sometime though.
9. do you have a favorite movie quote that you routinely use?
Lots of ‘em. The one I probably use most is “WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION NUMBNUTS!?!? From "Full Metal Jacket" I could probably do a whole post about favorite movie quotes though. Maybe I will someday.
10. will you tag 6 bloggers or will you leave this open ended and accept answers in comments?
No, I’m not gonna tag anyone, but here are 10 questions that you can answer or not.
1. You’re building your dream house. What’s the one thing that this house absolutely, positively MUST HAVE? (other than the obvious basics of course)
2. What is your dream car?
3. What is your favorite website that isn’t a blog.
4. iPhone 4 or Droid, which do you want?
5. When you’re feeling down or lonely or just generally out of sorts, what do you do to cheer yourself up?
6. Tell me about something or someone that you love that most people seem to hate.
7. What do you want to be when you grow up?
8. Would you go on a reality show if given the chance?
9. Who was your favorite teacher when you were growing up. (Grade school, Middle School, Jr. High or High School only.)
10. You get one pass to do something illegal or immoral. What are you gonna do?

My Handwriting ...
Okay, so I rarely do memes, but I thought this one was kinda cool. I saw it over at Dana’s place yesterday and thought I would do it today.
What’s different about this one is instead of answering a bunch of questions here, you are supposed to write down the answers on a piece of paper and scan it in and post it to your blog. So, everyone will get to see my super awesome handwriting. Which isn’t really all that super or awesome.
Anyway, here ya go…
The questions ...
1) Your name/blog name?
2) Right-handed, left-handed, or ambidextrous?
3) Favorite letters to write?
4) Least favorite letters to write?
5) Write “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.”
6) Write the following words in capital letters:
- CRAB
- HUMOR
- KALEIDOSCOPE
- PAJAMAS
- GAZILLION
7) Write your favorite song lyric.
8) Tag people!
9) Any special note or picture.
... and the answers ... (be sure to clickr for biggr in Flickr so you can actually read it)
Wasn’t that fun? My handwriting is pretty bad most of the time. I’m a lazy writer and terrible speller. So, it usually starts out really nice and then gets really sloppy as I get tired. Anyway, I tried to keep it as readable as possible.

My Album Cover ....
I haven't seen this one around for a while, but Avitable has decided to revive it. Then Grant did it too. So, I figured I would too.
1. Go to the "Random Article" link on Wikipedia. Write down the title of the article. This is the name of your band.
2. Go to “Random Quotations” and the last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3. Go to Flickr and click on “Explore the Last Seven Days”. The third picture will be your album cover.
Here ya go...

A Few Words With You....
First, everyone go over and wish my friend Real Live Lesbian a Happy Birthday! Maybe Skyler’s Dad and I should have launched our blog coup today? Oh well, I’ll just have to post a babe pic for her here instead…
Happy Birthday Real Live Lesbian!
So, I have this ridiculous cold thing going on. Hacking, coughing, sneezing, snot running like a wild river towards the ocean. My head feels HUGE and I find myself starting to do something and then like two minutes later still just staring in a daze and not remembering what I was going to do. But, thanks to the potentially lethal combination of NyQuil, Benadryl, Sudafed, Halls cough drops and maybe a hit or two of Scotch and/or tequila, I think I'm going to survive. Barely.
You know, it sure seems like it wasn't all that long ago that I could shake off these colds no problem. I would just take something and get a decent night's sleep and I'd be fine. Now? It kicks my ass for three or four days. This getting older shit has got to stop. I'm gonna go online and research some of these "Stop the Aging Process" systems and try a couple of them out. I'll let you know how it works. Assuming I live through it.
Five Words…
Okay so there’s this thing out there called the Friday 5 or something like that. And it apparently spawned this five word meme, where somebody give you five words and you just write out your stream of consciousness thoughts about that word or something like that. I resisted it when Kcinnova and Scarlet did it, but I finally caved in cause a man can only hold out for so long, and told Karen to hit me with five words. So, here they are.
Tattoo: I’ve often considered getting a tattoo, but I don’t know. I have no idea what I would get. Maybe a cool Gonzo tat like this:
Oh I know! I’ll get a Rachael Ray tattoo:
Or maybe not. Maybe a cool stripper tat like this:
Yeah baby! Okay, actually I probably won’t get a tat. I’ve seen lots of really cool tats on some people and other bloggers. They’re great for them and they usually seem to mean something. At least the people who don’t get those stupid Chinese symbols. Those people always crack me up. They show them off and they’re like “They mean “Love and Happiness” and then you look them up and they actually mean “Dirty Cat Skinky Poo” or something like that. Yeah, I always laugh at those people.
Collapse: Well, my first thought here is all the buildings in Indonesia that have collapsed after this week’s earthquakes. It just looks so awful. Those poor people. Anyone in that area reading this now, I hope you and your loved ones are all okay.
“Collapse” also makes me think of the ladies fainting couch that Betty Draper bought on “Mad Men” last week. Those things are awesome. And the idea of some overly dramatic Southern Belle putting the back of her and against her forehead and tilting her head back and falling onto her fainting couch when she sees a mouse. Or hears that her husband has been banging is outrageously hot redhead secretary right there on the couch of his office. Either way, awesome.
Imagination: I have a pretty active imagination. Of course, it’s also a pretty flattering imagination. You know, where I’m a tall, slim, suave dude who all the babes are chasing after. Yeah, that’s the crazy kind of imagination I have.
There are lots of people who really have no imagination. I feel sorry for those people. Mostly because they also seem to be people with no sense of humor. Those people live a really sad, lonely, boring life. How bad would it suck to take every single thing people say seriously and never be able to recognize when they are being sarcastic or when someone’s blog post is satire or whatever. Jeeze, that would suck.
Oatmeal: I fucking hate Oatmeal. That stuff is just awful. And I’ve tried different flavors too. Like the maple flavor and uh, whatever else. They’ve all sucked. And, have you ever noticed that you have to clean that bowl out immediately after eating oatmeal. Cause that shit sets up like concrete in like five minutes. If you don’t get that bowl cleaned out, you’ll have to go get a chisel and a hammer to get that shit off the bowl. I bet it does something similar to your innards too. Well, maybe not quite so bad, but I’m not risking it.
Classical: So, the first thing I think of when I hear the word “classical” is classical music. I’m a pretty big fan of classical music, but I don’t know anything about it. I took a music appreciation course in college, but I’m just so tone deaf that I never was able to recognize who the instructor was playing. I knew I had heard it before, but couldn’t name the piece or the composer or anything like that.
Of course there’s also Classical Conditioning. You know, like if I hear “Shook Me All Night Long” come on the juke box or the radio, I automatically start nodding my head to the music and reach into my pocket for a dollar bill for the stripper. Or like if somebody throws a T-Bone steak on the grill I start grunting and drooling a little and I instinctively begin stalking the grill. Sneaking up on it, so that my prey doesn’t run off too soon. Shit like that.
So, there ya go. Thanks for the words Karen!
If you want me to give you five words let me know. I’ll give them to you here in comments. Which means you’ll have to come back to get them. Unless you request that I email them to you and I guess I’ll be a nice guy and agree to do that. Or I can send a Facebook message or even DM you on Twitter. And if you’re not on Facebook or Twitter or you aren’t my friend on one or both of them, then you suck. Anyway, let me know how you like it. Uh, how you want your words.
And the WWC words for next week are “Depth” and “Warmth.” So get snapping!
*UPDATE* Dang it! Today is also Melissa's birthday! So go wish her a happy, happy birthday too!
Aaaaaaaand Saturday is Anndi's birthday. So, you know what to do. Happy Birthday Anndi!
Happy Birthday Real Live Lesbian!

Christmas Layers ...
My very good friend Tink has created a little Christmas meme and since it was Tink, I decided to play along. Of course this means that Tink is now the Queen of Memes, so be sure to tag her with all of your memes people! ;-)
1. What was the best present you've ever received? When I was in 3rd grade (I think) I got a really sweet bicycle. I think it was my first real cool bicycle too. Freedom baby! Of course there have been others through the years, but that was probably my first best present ever.
2. What was the worst? I don't think I've ever gotten a really shitty Christmas present or one that I just hated. I have, from time to time gotten some PJs that everyone knew I wouldn't wear, but that's okay. haha
3. What is something you really want this year for yourself? I really would love a new laptop, but that's not exactly reasonable. Otherwise I don't really want anything.
4. What is something you really want this year for someone else? Nothing that is affordable. haha
5. What's your favorite Christmas memory? Probably back when we were kids and we would have Christmas over at dad's house. Then over at Nana Creta's and then the three of us, my sister, mother and I, would have Christmas at home on Christmas Day. And on Christmas Eve mom would always read "The Littlest Angel" and "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" to us and then we would sing Christmas Carols.
And since I'm on a meme roll here, I thought I would do this one too. Just for the hell of it.

- Describe your dream wedding: It would be in Las Vegas, with Elvis presiding, Frank Sinatra as the best man, Marilyn Monroe as the maid of honor and Sammy Davis Jr. singing. That's total class. Otherwise just a quick trip to the Justice of the Peace on a Friday afternoon.
- How do you want to die: Right after saying "Wonder what this button does?"
- Where do you want to go to college: I already have, aren't you paying attention?
-What do you want to be when you grow up: When I was a kid I wanted to be a lawyer or a sports writer. Now, I don't know.
- What country would you most like to visit: England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Italy, The Netherlands, South Africa, Israel, Thailand, Japan, Brazil and the list goes on and on and on. Oh and Canada. ;-)
Layer Nine:
- Number of drugs taken illegally: Only a couple of pain pills that were prescribed to someone else. Other than that, ZERO.
- Number of people I could trust with my life: Probably three.
- Number of CD's that I own: Bunches
- Number of piercings: Zip
- Number of tattoos: None, but I'm open to the idea of getting one.
- Number of times my name has appeared in the newspaper: A few times, but never in the police blotter.
- Number of scars on my body: A few. Couple on my arm from when I broke it in jr. high. One on my left thigh, a couple others here and there. And then there are my deep, emotional scars.
- Number of things in my past I regret: That's actually a pretty long list.
And since this is a kind of Christmasy type post, I'll leave you with a short video of my Christmas tree (totally copying off of Matt-Man here) while you are serenaded by one of the greatest entertainers of all time, and a really cool dude, Mr. Dean Martin …

So I Was Wondering ...
First things first. Here is another pic of the Okie State cheerleader from yesterday’s post…
As you can see, she appears to have a full set of choppers. I don’t know why she appeared toothless in the last pic. I thought maybe she just had a nice chunk of tobaccy in her lip or something. But, your concerns that she might actually be toothless are unfounded.
--
Don’t forget kids, I’m sending out Christmas cards this year. I got responses from 16 or so of ya the first time I tossed this out there, but I thought I’d see if there is anyone else who could overcome their general fear of internet weirdoes and send me an email letting me know that you want a Christmas card. I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours. Or, I’ll just show you mine. Either way. ;-)
--
So, NE posted this a week or so ago, and since I don’t have anything else to post today I thought I would too. Just for the hell of it …
1. Who are you?
2. Are we friends?
3. Something I have and YOU want?
4. Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it.
5. Describe me in one word.
6. What was your first impression of me?
7. Do you still think that way about me now?
8. What reminds you of me?
9. If you could give me anything what would it be?
10. How well do you know me?
11. How do you see me in the future?
12. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn’t?
13. Are you going to post this in your blog and see what I say about you?

A Few Memes ...
So I did a few memes and decided to post them today since I don't really have time to do anything else.
I swiped this first one from sweet Keshi ...
1. Name 5 of your all time favorite movies…
Casablanca
Giant
The Godfather (I & II)
Big Jake
Ronin
2. Name one movie which you recommend as a "must see"
Shrek
3. The one and only one movie that you've seen the most number of times (watching on TV won't count)
These are hard! Probably Office Space, if only because it is shown so often on cable.
4. Which movie comes to your mind first, when you think about the funniest movie?
Spaceballs
5. Which movie made you really emotional?
The Deer Hunter
6. Which movie series do you think was as interesting as the first part in the series?
The Bourne Movies.
7. Which movie, according to you, didn't live up to your expectations, after all the hype you've heard?
There Will Be Blood
8. Which movie, really surprised you? (I assume they mean in a good way)
School of Rock
And now the one word meme that my very good friend Chelle did last week …
1. Where is your cell phone? Table
2. Your significant other? None
3. Your hair? Graying
4. Your mother? Retired
5. Your father? Dead
6. Your favorite thing? Computer
7. Your dream last night? Erotic
8. Your favorite drink? Pepsi
9. Your dream/goal? Happiness
10. The room you’re in? Bedroom
11. Your fear? Sameness
12. Where do you want to be in 6 years? Anywhere
13. Where were you last night? Home
14. What you’re not? Outgoing
15. Muffins? Yes
16. One of your wish list items? Camera
17. Where you grew up? Arkansas
18. The last thing you did? This
19. What are you wearing? Nothing
20. Your TV? Old
21. Your pet? None
22. Your computer? PowerBook
24. Your mood? Anxious
25. Missing someone? Yes
26. Your car? Infinity
27. Something you’re not wearing? Pantyhose
28. Favorite Store? Target
29. Your summer? Hot
30. Your favorite color? Black
31. When is the last time you laughed? Today
33. Who will/would re-post this? Dunno
34. Four places I go over and over: Store, Branson, Mailbox, Bathroom
35. Four Foods I Like: Italian, Mexican, Pizza, Steak
36. Four places I’d rather be right now: Beach, Mountains, Vegas, Bar
And finally M from Rumblings and Bumblings tagged me on the “7 Things About Me” meme. Granted I’ve done this one a few times, butI’m such a multi-faceted and fascinating person I figured what the hell. Besides, when she tags me I get a tingly feeling in my happy place.
1. I have a really HUGE crush on a certain blogger. I’m not naming names. This person may or may not be on my blog roll, but I read her blog all the time. I’m just blown away by her writing. I wish I could put into words how awesome she is.
Yes, she does happen to be absolutely beautiful too, but it’s her intelligence, sense of humor and amazing talent that makes her sexy as hell to me.
2. As much as I joke about stalking people, I would be the world’s worst stalker. I’m such a goober that I would probably get caught stalking someone on the first day. Seriously, I’d be hanging out somewhere in an alley trying to keep an eye on someone and lose her. Then like 10 minutes later she’d probably walk up behind me and be like “Dude, what are you doing sitting in that dumpster with binoculars?” And then I’d be like “Oh, uh .. I took up bird watching and thought I saw a rare Ivory Billed Woodpecker hanging out on that balcony over there.”
Yeah, that would really work out well.
2. I think I’m the only person on Earth who doesn’t have a really cool cell phone like an iPhone or Blackberry. And that sucks.
3. I’m the worst decision maker EVER. Nowhere does this show itself more than in Fantasy Football. If have three players for two starting spots, I will spend the whole week struggling to decide who to play. Then at the last minute I will make a move. And whichever player I leave on the bench will have a big game. Happens almost every week.
But the same concept applies to everything else in life. No matter what it is I’m trying to make a decision about, I almost always choose wrong.
4. I have seriously considered a total overhaul of this blog. Not just a new layout, but a new name and even moving it to a new location. But, I don’t know. Seems like a lot of effort.
5. I have now taken over 9,000 photos with my Canon A 510. I’m thinking that #10,000 should be something really over the top. Like maybe a full frontal nude photo of me that I would post on my blog.
6. I love driving and sometimes I just like to get in my car and take off driving around with nowhere in particular to go. Sometimes I drive around and listen to music. Sometimes I drive around and just think. Then sometimes I drive around just to drive around.
7. I’ve always wanted to learn to speak a foreign language. Spanish and French are the top two that I would love to learn. I’ve even considered ordering The Rosetta Stone, but that shit is more expensive than tuition would be.
So, anyone out there who could teach me a foreign language?
Okay, that’s all I’ve got. I’ll be back next Monday night with WWC and then I’ll get back to regular blogging.

Movies, Books and America ...
Well since Friday is Independence Day here in America, I don’t know how much action there will be here in the neighborhood. So, I thought I’d do a couple of meme.
The first person I saw do this one was Avitable. I don’t think he really intended for it to end up being a meme, but I’ve seen it on many, many blogs the last couple of weeks. Most recently by Malcolm. I had been intending to do it before now, but had other things to do.
Anyway, Entertainment Weekly has come out with a list of the “New Classics.” It’s the 100 best films of the last 25 years. So, we’re talking since 1983 here.
I’ve bolded the movies I’ve seen and put one star next the one’s I liked and two next to the one’s I REALLY liked. I also added a bit of commentary to some of them, including the movies I didn’t like.
1. Pulp Fiction (1994) ** (It really bugs me that Vincent Vega was such a fucking amateur that he would leave his MP5 on the counter when he went to take a dump. If I were a trained assassin I would always take my weapon with me to the shitter.)
2. The Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-03)
3. Titanic (1997) (I’ve actually not seen all of this movie. I just couldn’t make it all the way through.)

6. Saving Private Ryan (1998)**
7. Hannah and Her Sisters (1986)
8. The Silence of the Lambs (1991)**
9. Die Hard (1988)**

It didn’t suck (hehe .. get it? “Suck?” They were gay? Ehem ... anyway) but it wasn’t that great either. Heath Ledger was really good in it though.
32. Fight Club (1999)**
33. The Breakfast Club (1985)**
34. Fargo (1996)** (The Coen Brothers rock.)
35. The Incredibles (2004)*

44. The Player (1992)
45. Rain Man (1988)*

48. Scarface (1983)**
49. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)

58. Ghostbusters (1984)**
59. L.A. Confidential (1997)**
60. Scream (1996) (I prefer I Know What You Did Last Summer. I think that’s because of the presence of Jennifer Love Hewitt in IKWYDLS.

79. Waiting for Guffman (1996)
80. Michael Clayton (2007) (meh)
81. Moonstruck (1987)**
82. Lost in Translation (2003) (I thought this movie was incredibly boring. And, by the end of it I was sick and tired of Scarlett Johansson. OMG did I really just type that last line?)
83. Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn (1987)
84. Sideways (2004) (I haven’t seen the whole movie. I didn’t find it as clever as so many people said it was. Maybe it’s just me though.)
85. The 40 Year-Old Virgin (2005)
86. Y Tu Mamá También (2002)
87. Swingers (1996)

I would say that Casino, The Gangs of New York, The Untouchables and Jurassic Park should have been on that list too. And maybe Clerks.

And ... I got tagged by another Adam ... this one from Louie Pitt Bull (and Ollie Beagle).
The rules are: Grab the book nearest to you and open to page 123. Find the fifth sentence and write down the next three sentencesand then tag 5 other people.
“When the strips are pleasantly golden brown and the bubbles start to slow noticeably, spread the strips on a draining rack and immediately season with salt and pepper.
Start peeling the next batch into the water, and repeat. The oil will be back up to temperature and ready to by the time you are.”
That was from “I’m Just Here For the Food” by Alton Brown.

And since Friday is Independence Day here in America, I thought I’d leave you with a couple of videos. The first is the trailer to “Gonzo.” This is the documentary about Hunter S. Tompson, a Great American, that is being released on July 4.
The second video is my favorite patriotic song. “America the Beautiful” performed by the late, great Ray Charles....
Happy 4th everybody.
And Happy Birthday America!
U.S.A! – U.S.A! – U.S.A!

And ... I got tagged by another Adam ... this one from Louie Pitt Bull (and Ollie Beagle).
The rules are: Grab the book nearest to you and open to page 123. Find the fifth sentence and write down the next three sentences
“When the strips are pleasantly golden brown and the bubbles start to slow noticeably, spread the strips on a draining rack and immediately season with salt and pepper.
Start peeling the next batch into the water, and repeat. The oil will be back up to temperature and ready to by the time you are.”
That was from “I’m Just Here For the Food” by Alton Brown.

And since Friday is Independence Day here in America, I thought I’d leave you with a couple of videos. The first is the trailer to “Gonzo.” This is the documentary about Hunter S. Tompson, a Great American, that is being released on July 4.
The second video is my favorite patriotic song. “America the Beautiful” performed by the late, great Ray Charles....
Happy 4th everybody.
And Happy Birthday America!
U.S.A! – U.S.A! – U.S.A!
