Cullen did this over on the tumblweeder. I have seen things like this before, but since we have taken on hundreds of a new reader here at Andy's Place, I figured it'd be a good time to get mo' personal. Feel free to copy the alphabet, and respond in the comments, or just do it on your own blog if you want to. Or not, if you don't want to. But if you do, please drop a link in the comments, so I'll know all about it.
A - Age: 51
B - Bed size: King
C - Chore you hate: Reading blogs (just joshin'...nyuk!) I can't think of any chore that I hate. If I hate something I don't do it. Okay...pulling weeds in the garden, or flowerbeds...but I really don't hate it when I see the results.
D - Don’t eat: Beef, pork, poultry, rutabagas.
E - Essential start your day item: Big glass of water, and a trip to the crapper right out of the box.

Q - Famous Movie Quote: I've got two: “Who are those guys???” And, "I used to be famous, but I heard about you! You're The Postman. Dude, YOU are famous!" (That's not an exact quote, but it's Tom Petty talking to The Postman...it's close enough)
R - Right or left handed: Right

V - Vegetable favorite: I will get all kinds of grief if I say Taters, 'Maters, or Corn, because none of them are really vegetables (at least I don't think so), so I'll go with Okra (fried, burrled, or mixed in with 'maters and oil).
W - Ways you run late: I don’t (that was Cullen's answer, and it's mine, too)
X - X-rays you’ve had: Just on my toofers, while sitting in the chair of death. But, I've got pretty good chompers compared to all the rest of my fambly.
Y - Yummy food you make: I make a wicked Cookies & Cream ice cream with a mixed peanut butter and Hershey's syrup topping. Dang, I'm hungry now.

Are we supposed to use the same word for each letter? In other words, is 'A' always 'age' or can it be something of our choosing? Like 'astronaut' or 'arugula' or 'aikido' or 'ambulance' or 'authoritative' or 'asinine'??
ReplyDeleteJimbo, you crack me up. Seriously. I did not know you could tickle the ivories. You gotta come show us...we gots one of them piano thingies ya' know.
ReplyDeleteMan, if purple hull peas were a vegetable, it would be up right on top of my list.
As to the "Yummy food" deal...I'm sure that's true.
And, as to the horse-spittle stays, and X-rays...DANG! I did not know you'd been through the mill so often.
Come see us. We will break out the Monopoly board, and figure out which of us is gonna be richer when we croak.
Monopoly. You guys have more patience than I.
ReplyDeleteInno: I did not make this game up, so I really don't know the rulz. But, I just followed like the obedient hound that I am.
ReplyDeleteI'm a lab, and we ALWAYS just do as we've been told.
But, go ahead on and spread your wings, and fly! Fly! Fly, my friend!
You've got the skilz to make this somewhat interesting, so don't pass up your big chance. Just sayin'...
Cullen, we are older than you are. You will age in to it. Trust me.

ReplyDeleteB - Bed size: King. But our two dogs (no, not that guy) will join wife-n-me if we let 'em and it starts feelin' more like a twin.
C - Chore you hate: Fishing the hairball out of shower drain every year or so. I pull up so much that a hippie could take it and weave a smock from it.

I - Instruments you play: OK at guitar, can fake a bass 'cuz it's guitar-ish enough.
J - Job title: Lead (rhymes with 'weed') Engraver at my main job, plus burger joint maintenance guy for a few hours a week in the mornings. That extra $500 or so a month comes in danged handy. And what it lacks in prestige, it more than makes up for with burns from the deep fryer.
