So we all pretend to hate being tagged, but we secretly love it because BAM! instant blog topic. And I had the luck of being tagged twice in one week. First I got tagged by Himbo over at Confessions of a Fantabulous Himbo and I’m supposed to list six non-important things/habits/quirks about myself:
1. I’m allergic to red food coloring. I can handle red M&Ms, but red drinks, and too many of those marchiano cherries send me over the edge. I told you red was the worst color.
2. Even though I have a full-sized big boy bed , I only sleep on one side of the bed, as if it were a twin.
3. My favorite dinosaur is the Tyrannosaurus Rex, but sometimes I say it’s the Parasaurolophus, just so I can show off my knowledge of dinosaurs, plus it’s fun to say.
4. I hate when people push the close door button in elevators. They never work people! They’re just for show!
5. I get unreasonably nervous on the subway if it’s about to start moving and I see a wobbly-legged tourist heading to an empty seat to sit down. I yell at the top of my lungs (in my head): “Quick! Sit down! Sit down! Sit down!”. Because if they don’t sit down, they’ll fall over when the subway starts. And I may or may not know how embarrassing that can be.
6. When I play board games I like to be the blue piece. In Monopoly, I like to be the dog. In Clue, I like to be Colonel Mustard (though when I was little, being the youngest meant picking last and I usually had to be Mrs. White). Which pieces do you guys like to be?
Then I got tagged by Sam over at Sam.I.Am. and I’m supposed to list five of my addictions:
1. Star Wars Expanded Universe novels. I bought so many that I still haven’t read, but I buy them all anyway. The new one comes out today! I’ll be going out on my lunch break to pick it up.
2. I love looking up real estate. I can sit in front of the computer for hours just looking at apartments, condos, and houses. Even ones that I could never afford in a million years. It’s just nice to dream.
3. I’ve been addicted to Juliet’s blog Evolving Revolver lately. You remember her from my Oprah vs Martha Stewart debate, right? Well she’s currently living in France and her stories make me happy.
4. THIS.
5. Argyle. How could I leave this off the list? I have just about every color combination imaginable, but I’ve already bought three new ones at Target last weekend and two zipper ups from Kohls, and it’s not even November yet.
Alright, so I’m not going to tag anyone, but if you have a blog, and you think this looks like fun, you’re welcome to tag yourselves in the comment section.

Well, I have a queen sized bed and still sleep on one side. My cat usually claims the other. Although sometimes I live dangerously and sleep sort of diagonally.
I always like to be Miss Scarlett when I play Clue. Its the red dress.
Oh, the close door buttons do work in our elevators at work and I’ve had the bruises on my arm to prove it. The damn doors are so slow at responding to something blocking them that they slam into you before they reopen, and thanks for pushing the close door button while I was entering the elevator dickhead.
October 21st, 2008 at 8:17 am
Man, I have so many quirks I don’t know if I can list them all.
1. I have a phobia concerning dead spiders. Live spiders are fine. Don’t even mind them crawling on me. But a dead spider? Hell no. Won’t go near one.
2. Crooked pictures/wall hangings. Don’t be offended if I get up in the middle of a conversation and straighten that frame behind you…
3. Squeaking Styrofoam makes me nauseous.
4. I iron everything.
My addiction: Magazines. Just this weekend I bought Men’s Health, Men’s Health UK edition, Guys, and a Details because it had a single short article on Ridley Scott. And Geek Monthly, Mac|Life, and Macworld showed up in the mail late last week.
October 21st, 2008 at 8:20 am
Oh, and I always liked Professor Plum. Though I’d settle for Colonel Mustard.
October 21st, 2008 at 8:37 am
Dave: Wow a guy who irons, a rare commodity indeed. (Although something tells me in Puntabuworld its not that rare. Just a feeling.) I iron a lot too (not “everything” though), I’ve never understood people who don’t own an iron. How do you function with wrinkly clothes?
October 21st, 2008 at 8:46 am
Tam: I know! Polt and I ventured into a Brookstone yesterday and I was all cooing over this awesome portable iron that was the coolest thing ever, and he was, like, “ummm…yeah…”
October 21st, 2008 at 8:58 am
In my office building, unless you want to wait a full minute staring out at the hallway, you’d better push the “close door” button.
I also cringe when I see the elderly meandering over towards a seat just as the subway is about to start moving. But if they are healthy tourists and fall really comically, sometimes it’s worth it. (Yes I know, see you in hell)
I was always Professor Plum.
October 21st, 2008 at 9:05 am
Tam: You are correct! I iron. You could slice bread with the crease in my sleeve. The running joke was the only requirement I had for a wife was that she would iron for me, but that didn’t happen. Partly because I do it better and partly because I like my testicles where they are. I don’t iron everything, I don’t iron t-shirts, jeans or undies.
5 quirks:
I love cartoons, all kinds from Fairly Odd Parents, to Dexter’s Lab to anime like Death Note (which was fantastic!).
I don’t drink anything hot and I don’t like liquids too cold and avoid ice if possible. The same goes for food, I don’t like my food right out of the oven.
I *hate* to talk on the phone and avoid it at all costs.
I hate nickels and coat hangers.
I sometimes rock in my sleep.
Addictions:
Ice cream
Diet Sprite (used to be Diet Coke until I went caffeine free)
Bunnies!
Orbit gum (I have a bad breath paranoia that is a story for another day)
Music: can’t live or work without it. I’d rather have music on than the television
In games I go for the orange piece. In Clue, I went for the Professor, but usually ended up with Mr. Green.
October 21st, 2008 at 9:09 am
John: I hate talking on the phone more than you. Also, Dexter’s Lab is genius.
October 21st, 2008 at 9:16 am
john: I don’t iron underwear, but I iron jeans and t-shirts. But you won’t find a crease anywhere in my neatly ironed clothes. I hate artificial creases.
I avoid ice too. I won’t touch it. Literally. Don’t ask me to pick up an ice cube with my bare hand because it ain’t gonna happen.
And you rock in your sleep? Awesome. Normal people snore — you do Aerosmith…
And to both you and Craig: I’m with you on the phone thing. Though I likely don’t hate it as much as Craig does…
October 21st, 2008 at 9:16 am
Dave S: You iron everything and read Men’s Health, Men’s Health UK edition, Guys, and Details.
Holy s@*t! A straight guy who’s gayer than me.
October 21st, 2008 at 9:17 am
I have a king sized bed, but the bottom of the other side is ALWAYS piled full of clean laundry…easier to get it there than out of the closet or drawers.
I, naturally, usually took Professor Plum (d’uh…it’s purple). But the Clue game I had was from the mid-70’s, where all the characters had real actors portraying them on the cards, and Ms. Scarlet was this Asian chick in a tight dress, with a long cigarette holder and long staight hair like Cher. I liked playing her as well because was lil’ gay boy in training DOESN’T have fantasies about dressing up as like that?
And I can personally attest to every single one of Dave S. quirks, except for the sytrofoam thing…I saw ALL the others this past weekend.
And yeah, the little iron thingee you hold in your palm was cute and all but, well…it’s an iron. I own one, but have only used it twice…and probably not correctly either time.
Jimmy Neutron and Fairly Oddparents ROCK! Oh, and this weekend, I got Dave S. hooked on Torchwood! (doing the “happy-i-got-someone-else-hooked-on-Torchwood dance!)
HUGS…
October 21st, 2008 at 9:24 am
Polt: Job well done my friend, job well done.
Friday night is the Torchwood season finale for me. Woohoo. You’ve got me hyped for it now so it better live up to expectations. LOL
And I only iron jeans and t-shirts if I’ve left them in the dryer too long and they are wrinkly beyond repair, usually if I get my act together I can get to them in time.
October 21st, 2008 at 9:27 am
We don’t get Dexter’s Lab up here anymore.
We used to watch that in Europe but we don’t get all the Cartoon Network shows up here. Lots of Fairly Odd Parents and Jimmy Neutron though which I enjoy. Anyone know Jacob Two Two? Its a Canadian one. I love Jacob Two Two.
October 21st, 2008 at 9:48 am
So I always like the Talarurus but would tell people that I like the Triceratops so that people wouldn’t make fun of me for knowing too much about dinosaurs. I had a little plastic Talarurus when I was five (I still have it) it was my favorite for reals.
I am also insistent on being the dog in monopoly. However I was partial to green pieces and professor plum.
Quarks…hmmm…..
1.) I sing EVERYTHING. All day everyday since I was young. If you say something that reminds me of a song lyric. I’ll start singing. It’s sick.
2.) My favorite movie is Bing Crosby’s white christmas. I can recite the entire thing from memory. Nobody ever wants to watch it with me.
3.) I am a neurotic door locker. Our house was broken into when I was young and now I lock doors behind me without realizing it. It’s annoying.
4.) I have to fix everything. I’ll be in the middle of doing something very important and if you say. I can’t get this to work! I’ll come running and won’t stop until it’s fixed.
5.) I can emulate just about any accent in the world and when I get…..over served…..I tend to use them all.
Addictions:
MUSIC and change are my only two addictions really. I can’t do the same thing for too long….it makes me freak. Oh and craig. I’m addicted to craig. I’d crush him up and snort him if i could. ew.
October 21st, 2008 at 9:50 am
Mark: I typically despise Details because it a fairly pointless — and I don’t like mags that focus too much on fashion, which, again, is pointless. Too metrosexual for my taste. I pick up a copy maybe once or twice a year. But with the others, I’m a regular.
My favorite ones to read are Men’s Health (both of them, though I like the UK edition a bit better) and Geek.
October 21st, 2008 at 10:20 am
So my best time was 16.795 seconds on Escapa. I wasted about half my prep period on that.
October 21st, 2008 at 10:42 am
My best time is on Escapa is 26.240….not that I keep a written record or anything….
October 21st, 2008 at 10:48 am
Dave S.: Good to know you don’t iron underwear. I was wondering how one would iron silver undies. I only put a crease in my sleeves, not my pants. I will iron jeans when wearing them to work, otherwise I don’t care it they are wrinkled.
I do occasionally rock in my sleep, which is usually met with a locked straight elbow from my wife when I wake her up. Apparently, I sometimes attend mosh pits in my dreams. I’ve done this as long as I can remember.
Polt: I do like Jimmy Neutron, but not as much as Fairly Odd Parents. If you haven’t seen Foster’s yet, do check it out. I’ll be joining you in the dance in a few days once Craig receives my *ahem* package.
Are there any anime fans here? I know much of it is crap, but some of it is really good. Death Note being one. Craig, I may have to make that an official recommendation, but it is a commitment, so I’ll hold off in the event you find anime repellent.
Tam: I haven’t heard of Jacob Two Two, but will be looking for it tonight.
Joemosexual: My brother and I totally do the same thing! We sing songs all the time and will often make up lyrics on the fly. Drives our wives crazy, especially when we are together. I’m not a door locker, but I do turn off lights all the time. It was drummed into our heads as kids to turn off a light if we were leaving a room.
Craig: Do you hate the phone for the same reason I do, because you are on it all day at work? When the Mrs. wanted new cell phones, I refused to even look at them. I told her that she could purchase any phone she wanted but that if she wanted me to have one, she had to get it for me as I refused to deal with it.
October 21st, 2008 at 10:51 am
Dave S.: Men’s Health has a purpose other than pictures of shirtless guys?
Polt: The BBC needs to give more information on Series 3. Spring 2009 is too vague.
October 21st, 2008 at 10:53 am
My favorite cartoon is Invader Zim. What Nick was thinking when they hired the creator of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac I’ll never know, but I am glad they did.
October 21st, 2008 at 10:56 am
Does Voltron count as Anime? I love me some Voltron.
I just hate talking on the phone just because I think it’s an absolute bore. I don’t even talk to my best friends on the phone. Life is too busy to sit down and waste away 20 minutes catching up.
October 21st, 2008 at 11:07 am
John: Jacob Two Two is based on a Canadian book set in Montreal so it might not be available on US TV. You can see bits of it on YouTube but not sure where you’d find it.
Ryan: As for Torchwood Season 3, this is what some exec guy at Space (my Sci Fi channel) said on the Torchwood board:
“Season Three of Torchwood is being shot now, and will not air in the UK until the spring, at the earliest. We do not know how long each episode will be, as right now the lengths (from the script) vary. The BBC plan is to show it for 5 nights in a row… that’s hard for us to do, especially with the ‘length’ question, so we will come up with a suitable alternate plan- perhaps air it once a week, perhaps a Marathon, perhaps we’ll follow the BBC lead and air it complete, in a week. At this time I do not know how close we will be able to air the show…”
Someone heard March for the UK airing. I only hope we’re not too far behind.
October 21st, 2008 at 11:11 am
john: I can’t believe I forgot Fosters! that is my FAVORITE cartoon! I am the living embodiment of Bloo!
Dont like anime sorry.
Ryan: you are SO correct about the new season. I want an exact date, that way I can cordon it off so I plan NOTHING else!
HUGS…
October 21st, 2008 at 11:13 am
Tam: thanks for the update…although the ambivialence in the statement worries me…
HUGS…
October 21st, 2008 at 11:14 am
Craig: Voltron is awesome! I used to have this big Voltron that all split apart into the individual lions and all. Totally cool.
Tam: I’m totally diggin’ Torchwood. They’re a homely group of folk, but they make an awesome team. Polt let me borrow Series 1, so I’m eating them up. I think I’m only on Episode 8 though.
Ianto is my fave so far. That cyberwoman episode clinched it for me. Totally melancholic and moody. Ton of anger in that boy.
I’m completely addicted.
October 21st, 2008 at 11:17 am
Dave and Craig: I Had that same Voltron toy…….it was mylife.
That and the entire box of Heman action figures. I still have all of them.
Unfortunately I’ve almost given up on TV all together. It’s an experiment to see how out of touch and crazy I can get. I come home now and turn on the classic rock station and cook dinner. There’s nothing like making pork chops while listening to Mississippi Queen.
…..I’m a sad human being.
October 21st, 2008 at 11:18 am
OMG you actually did it! Yay Craig!
See, doesn’t it make you think?
OnASlowBlogDayWhenYou’veNothingToWriteAbout?October 21st, 2008 at 11:21 am
Joemo: I believe you’re more wise than sad.
Well, except for Heroes. Missing Heroes is sad.
October 21st, 2008 at 11:24 am
Polt: No worries, I know anime isn’t for everyone.
Dave S.: All homely? Have you *seen* Toshiko? Oh and Episodes 9-13 are a ride, fasten you seat belt!
Tam: Thanks for the update!
Tam & Polt: Have either of you been watching Doctor Who?
October 21st, 2008 at 11:26 am
Dave S: So a dirty little secret……..I cheat on my lunch breaks and watch heroes on nbc.com
DON”T TELL ANYONE!
October 21st, 2008 at 11:27 am
Dave: Squeee! I’m so happy you are loving it. I kind of developed a thing for Owen in Season 2. He’s basically a dick but some stuff happened that gave you more insight into him and made him more appealling. Tosh kind of annoys me, I have issues with her.
Polt: TV execs, all afraid to commit to anything until its a done deal. I’m just kind of sick of the threads on the Torchwood board whining about too many gay references. Get over it already people. Go watch something else then.
October 21st, 2008 at 11:29 am
John: I have caught the odd episode of Dr. Who. I’m not sure its on Space, I’ve heard people whining that CBC has hacked it to fit commercial TV length. I used to watch the ooooold Dr. Who, the whacky guy with the 20 foot scarf. I understand its improved since then.
October 21st, 2008 at 11:34 am
joemo: Your secret’s safe with me. (dirty little cheater)
john: Toshiko? You’re a sick sick man. A weavil’s more attractive. Well, okay, I have issues with their general disposition, but they seem like they’d be fun at a club.
Tam: Yeah, you definitely don’t get a “thing” for the characters just by looking at them. It’s their characterizations and development that make them appealing.
October 21st, 2008 at 11:46 am
Joemo: I can’t believe I’m admitting to this, but I had to google Talarurus to find out what it was! I’m ashamed of myself. I would have called it an Ankylosaurus. It’s a good pick for favorite dinosaur though!
October 21st, 2008 at 11:52 am
Craig: Ha! thats ok it’s a member of the Ankylosaurus family…..so it IS a type of Ankylosaurus. I like the talarurus cause it reminds me of an armadillo. It’s really cute but it’s also covered in big spikes and has a tail like a mace.
:::blushes:::
Ok that’s enough dino-talk for now. Pushes glasses up on his nose.
October 21st, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Ianto is my favorite as well…albeit for entirely different reasons.
I have been watching Doctor Who. I really enjoy it. Not as much as Torchwood, but still.
And Dave S., Im not sure what kinda clubs you normally go to, but I doubt a weevil would be any fun in them….
HUGS…
October 21st, 2008 at 12:03 pm
I’m partial to the Albertasaurus only because he’s named after somewhere in Canada. *waving my little maple leaf flag*
October 21st, 2008 at 12:12 pm
My 5 addictions are listed on my blog.
October 21st, 2008 at 12:22 pm
Polt: Are you kidding? Give one of them puppies an Appletini and they’re a riot. Just don’t get them started on Jagermeister — then all they want to do is dance on tables. Of course, they never fall off, because, y’know, weevils wobble, but they don’t fall down.
October 21st, 2008 at 12:28 pm
Dave S.: My GOD you crack me up! The question is, though, do they dance on tables with their shirts off? While photos are taken of them?
HUGS…
October 21st, 2008 at 12:30 pm
Weevils Gone WILD!!!!!!!
October 21st, 2008 at 12:30 pm
Dave S.! GROAN! Oh no you din’t! But then again, this IS PUNtabulous! Good one!
October 21st, 2008 at 12:31 pm
Weevil, like from Veronica Mars?
October 21st, 2008 at 12:37 pm
That was a good one Dave. LOL
October 21st, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Polt: Hey, that’s not true! (it wasn’t technically a table…)
October 21st, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Craig: Weevils are a ugly creatures in Torchwood.
October 21st, 2008 at 12:42 pm
What’s Torchwood?
October 21st, 2008 at 12:49 pm
Craig: It’s what Polt gets when a really hot guy walks by.
October 21st, 2008 at 12:50 pm
Dave S.: We will have to politely disagree on the attractiveness of Toshiko. I’m willing to be a gentleman despite how wrong you are.
Weevils wobble made me snort!
Tam: I also used to watch Tom Baker on Doctor Who back in the day.
Polt: I’ve had my theories about what you two did this past weekend and Dave dancing shirtless was one of them.
October 21st, 2008 at 12:51 pm
I think I caught a bad case of the Weevils during college.
October 21st, 2008 at 12:52 pm
Joemo: Did they give you a special shampoo and comb for that?
October 21st, 2008 at 12:54 pm
joemo: An entire case of Weevils? Damn. I could only ever afford a 12-pack…
October 21st, 2008 at 12:56 pm
Bossy is the dog. That is all.
October 21st, 2008 at 12:58 pm
john: Dancing shirtless isn’t it. Hate to burst any figurative bubble.
October 21st, 2008 at 12:58 pm
Who’d have thought Weevils could generate so much hilarity?
As for Toshiko, she’s attractive enough, I just find she’s too passive and wimpy for me. Get a backbone woman.
October 21st, 2008 at 12:59 pm
hm……to respond to both.
Craig: No combs or shampoo….just a shot in the ass…..wait for it……wait for it…..
Dave: A 12 pack is never enough. Next time spring for the case and invite some friends over. I can almost guarantee you’ll have a good time. WEEVIL MADNESS!
October 21st, 2008 at 1:01 pm
I’d like to give you a shot in the ass!
There I said it. I couldn’t resist. I’m so weak.
October 21st, 2008 at 1:01 pm
Joemo: But Weevil always gives me the munchies. Hey! What if we made them into brownies?
October 21st, 2008 at 1:02 pm
Craig: HAHA! I knew you couldn’t resist. My weevils bring all the boys to the yard.
Dave: You and I think a lot alike. It must be an ohio thing.
October 21st, 2008 at 1:04 pm
joemo: Whoa. Did I know you were an Ohioan?
October 21st, 2008 at 1:10 pm
Dave: I’m not sure. I thought I’d mentioned it on here. But there’s really no telling. I’m in a daze between the hours of 9 and 6. (at work). My family lives there now. I went to high school and one year of college there. I’m now down in Atlanta.
October 21st, 2008 at 1:13 pm
joemo: Where at in Ohio? I’m (obviously) in Columbus. Originally from Michigan.
October 21st, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Dave S.: I said it was one of my theories, I didn’t say that was the most probable…Hey in the absence of proof, the mind wanders. Mine just stayed above the waist line while wandering.
Tam: Toshkio as a character is totally too much of a door mat! Naoko Mori as an actress however, is attractive. Mayko Tran (Nguyen) of Regenesis is what Toshiko should have been.
Joemosexual: I’m going to be singing that all day! Tell me you have heard the Holiday v.s. Milkshake mash-up.
October 21st, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Dave: Dayton area, Springboro. I used to go to Columbus all the time in college. I dated a girl that went there. (yes I dated girls)
October 21st, 2008 at 1:20 pm
john: I totally agree with you about Toshiko and the doormat thing. Really unappealing so far. Hopefully they’ll develop the character beyond that though.
October 21st, 2008 at 1:22 pm
John: I HAVE heard that mashup. I was dancing on a platform in a club down here and it started playing. It was so funny see the entire room start dancing 80’s style. It looked every ’school dance’ scene from saved by the bell.
Awesome.
October 21st, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Dave S.: I’ll refrain from comment on your hopeful statement…
I don’t really have a favorite in the cast, but do like the group as a whole. OH! Without spoiling Craig, what did you think of Countrycide (episode 6)?!?
October 21st, 2008 at 1:25 pm
Countrycide was kickass. Ianto finally got to do something with the team! Woohoo! And it was creeeeeepy…
October 21st, 2008 at 1:27 pm
joemo: Hey! I’ve been to Dayton! I think twice. Well, maybe three times. I drive by signs for it all the time.
I’m not generally a big fan of Ohio itself, but Columbus is an awesome city to live in.
October 21st, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Yeah Ohio was very flat. We moved a lot with my dad being in the navy. So it was like: Florida, California, Hawaii, Maryland, and then wild exotic OHIO. I was pisssssssed. Then I went to UT Knoxville for college and moved down the the ATL.
October 21st, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Now we know why Dave S doesn’t drink and is so thin!!!! he does something that gives him the munchies!!! niiiice….
420
October 21st, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Countrycide was definitely creepy. Gotta run.
October 21st, 2008 at 2:05 pm
Dave S.: Your definition of Torchwood again has me cracking up, not only cause it’s funny, but yet how TRUE it is.
I made sure Dave S. saw countrycide and cyberwoman while I was there, as they are my two favorite episodes in the first season!
Hayden: Dave S. does indeed drink, and is indeed thin, although I saw no evidence of the 420’s.
HUGS…
October 21st, 2008 at 2:16 pm
: (
Being computerless makes me SO behind in Puntabulous comments.
I give up.
October 21st, 2008 at 2:18 pm
polt is like the perez hilton of Dave S…giving us all the inside information…
October 21st, 2008 at 2:21 pm
October 21st, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Nicky: As some wise Puntabulous commentor once said, “Just breathe slowly, breathe in, breathe out. It’ll be alright.”
And while I’m taking it as a compliment, Hayden, being compared to Perez hilton is just kinda…ikcy.
And I gotta STOP coming back here all day and keep working on that post of this weekend. All Dave S, All The Time!
HUGS…
October 21st, 2008 at 2:27 pm
I remember now that you love Argyle! Is cool! You just need a kilt to go with that look now!
October 21st, 2008 at 2:29 pm
OMG could you imagine me in an argyle kilt? That is a scary yet hugely entertaining idea!
October 21st, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Milo, you are brilliant.
October 21st, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Craiggers in an argyle kilt: the hugely entertaining part immensely out-weighs any scariness to it!
HUGS…
October 21st, 2008 at 2:32 pm
The problem with Craig in a kilt would be that he is so tall that any midgets that might cross paths with him would have a distinct advantage of seeing his pride and joy….
October 21st, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Speaking of pride and joy…wait till you see tomorrow’s post!
October 21st, 2008 at 2:37 pm
Hmm… that sounds deliberately mysterious, Craig…
October 21st, 2008 at 2:38 pm
Perez? That’s funny. Perez and Puntabulous are right next to each other in my bookmark toolbar! Or… they were…
And wait til tomorrow? I guess it’ll be another crotch shot like that time you were talking about how tall you are.
October 21st, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Nicky: that’s a fine vantage point for a photo fo Craiggers…as long as he’s wearing the kilt.
HUGS….

I’m outtie. I gotta stop by a printer to drop off a job and get to the camera shop to pick up a few things, then it’s off to pick up my son from his robotics club.
So enjoy the Puntabulous comment section without me! (in fact, it’ll likely be a hell of a lot easier to enjoy it without me…)
October 21st, 2008 at 3:17 pm
Less comments, Dave S., do not necessarily make it easier. Less interesting sure, but easier, nah.
HUGS…

Milo is a genius and has an awesome avatar!
And Dave S. (though you aren’t here) looks who’s calling who deliberately mysterious….
October 21st, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Gah being on the west coast makes me so late for these comments. Also, I need to wake up earlier. My addiction is isketch: damn that online pictionary game.
Dave S. - we’ll miss you. how would this comment section go on so long without you.
October 21st, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Oh my god. Skillet Queso from Chili’s is my new favorite thing. It’s like a hug from Jesus.
October 21st, 2008 at 3:41 pm
Um, no. I’m afraid the Buffalo Chicken Fajita is the best thing ever invented, and available at your local Chili’s.
October 21st, 2008 at 3:42 pm
I am a complete wuss when it comes to spice, and their blue cheese looks like boogers. So i’m stickin with the queso.
October 21st, 2008 at 3:42 pm
Skillet Queso? Isn’t she a Mexican drag queen?
HUGS…

I got sidetracked playing the #4 addiction. I’m only at 13 seconds : (.
Other addictions: chocolate
sleep
Puntabulous
Quirks: I don’t like cheese (unless it’s Doritos or Cheetos).
I only eat the middle of my steak
Like Craig, I’ll take forever picking out the right card, and then
I must put coordinating stickers on the envelope.
I organize the sugar packets at restaurants (and I think “restaurants”
should be spelled “restaraunts”).
*I wanted to be Miss Scarlett, but don’t like red, so I would be Mrs. Peacock or Professor Plum.

I once saw a band called Angry Queso. They were not as good as Skillet Queso. NOTHING is as good as skillet queso.
except Little Debbie Nutty Bars. Those are pretty good….
I just ate lunch. I should not be hungry. I am a fat boy on the inside.
October 21st, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Michelle!!- Why no cheese? haha sorry, I guess as a Californian I’m forced to have this immense love of cheese but seriously? No cheese at all? Not even a fondue or a cheezburger?
October 21st, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Seriously Michelle M, cheese is a miracle drug! Mmmmm pepper jack! Love the Puntabulous addiction though!
And restaurant is nearly impossible to spell.
October 21st, 2008 at 4:00 pm
It may go back to a field trip to the dairy in preschool. I also don’t drink milk, but like ice cream and chocolate milkshakes (and mudslides *yum*). I won’t eat sour cream, cottage cheese or yogurt.
If anything with cheese touches my other food it’s contaminated. Cheese cooties! I like Cheez-its, though. Maybe it’s a texture thing.
October 21st, 2008 at 4:00 pm
What is it about the cheese exactly that you don’t like? Is it a consistency thing? I have a weird consistency issue with Hummus……..it’s feels like someone chewed up a bunch of tortilla chips and then spit them into a bowl. Then handed you some Pita bread to eat it with..
BLECH!
October 21st, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Michelle: I knew it! food textures sometimes drive me nuts. I can’t eat pudding.
October 21st, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Confession: Never been to Chili’s. We don’t have Chili’s up here, we are plenty chilly enough in the winter.
But anything that involves cheese (unless its blue - that’s mold people, you throw it away when it turns blue) is good in my books. So what exactly is Skillet Queso? Are you going to make me google it?
October 21st, 2008 at 4:03 pm
You don’t eat pudding?!?! But I already ordered our wedding cake with pudding filling! Don’t think you’ll get out of me jamming it in your mouth….
October 21st, 2008 at 4:05 pm
Okay, I’ve never been a big fan of hummus, but after your lovely analogy Joe I’m swearing off it for life.
October 21st, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Tam: Skillet Queso is a steamy skillet full of love, sent here by the lord almighty to help me escape from the boring chicken and rice soup that I eat almost every day. (It’s basically cheese, beef, beans, and love…..that you dip chips in)
Craig: That’s what she said.
October 21st, 2008 at 4:15 pm
I’m sorry Tam. I can’t confirm anything, but I’m almost positive, that’s how it’s made. Old Greek grandmothers…..in a big room……chewing and spitting up tortilla chips.
October 21st, 2008 at 4:17 pm
Ewwww. That’s disgusting. LOL
Okay does this Queso thing have sour cream in it? I don’t do white stuff as a general rule.
October 21st, 2008 at 4:21 pm
CHILIS?! MMMM… One of my favorite places to eat (and I HATE Applebees btw!)
And I never get dessert anywhere, but I LOVE the Paradise Pie at Chilis and want some now…
October 21st, 2008 at 4:26 pm
Beef, good. Beans, good. Cheese yuck.
Cure cancer? Write great American novel? Tidy sock drawer? Not until I break 18 on Escapa!
October 21st, 2008 at 4:26 pm
Tam: the queso does not have any sour cream. Just deliciousness.
I found a DIY recipe. I’ve never tried this so I can’t account for it’s accuracy….but….

October 21st, 2008 at 4:37 pm
Joe: If I ever get to a Chili’s (one of these days when I’m down south) I might check it out.
October 21st, 2008 at 4:47 pm
You definitely should. mmmmmmm Skillet Queso
October 21st, 2008 at 4:49 pm
joe: Vanilla bean Cheesecake from TGIFridays and Cabudy Caramel Eggs are better than anything Little Debbie…hell they’re the next best thing to sex. And take if from me, cause I’m a fat boy on the outside, and I know these things.
Craiggers: “me jamming it in your mouth….” funny, I’ve heard you say that in my dreams a few times….
Tam: you don’t do white stuff? Oh, poor you. And put down the Escapa and slowly back away….
HUGS…
October 21st, 2008 at 4:52 pm
Polt: I’ll give you the cheescake….yum! But Cadbury cream eggs make me want to yack. Plus I’m allergic to chocolate……which is why i had to give up my nutty bars.
October 21st, 2008 at 4:59 pm
joe: not the cream eggs. no no no no..the Cadbury CARAMEL eggs, which is kinda the same thing except the icky disgusting creamy stuff inside is replaced with yummy, delicious caramel….although since you’re allergic to chocolate, it probably makes no difference to you.
And I now officially feel very sorry for you, joe, to be allergic to chocolate should be illegal. Seriously.
HUGS…
October 21st, 2008 at 5:01 pm
Eh. it’s no biggie. I only miss the combination of peanut butter and chocolate. Le Sigh. But there are other vices I can cling to.
October 21st, 2008 at 5:10 pm
On a completely unrelated topic, although it was touched on earlier, and I hope Craiggers doesn’t mind me being presumptuous enough to post this here without asking first, but the first post of this past weekend is up at http://poltspalace.blogspot.com. two more are written and ready to go, and there will be more forthcoming.
HUGS…
October 21st, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Nicky: You get one for the yes column, I hate Applebee’s too! Thought I did read somewhere that PAradise Pie is one of the worst desserts you can eat because of the calories and fat and such.
Michelle M.: I’m crushed, one for the no column: cheese is evidence of god on earth, including blue (sorry Tam a good blue cheese rocks).
Since I’m feeling bad, I will admit: I don’t really like chocolate. I’ll eat it in things, like chocolate chip cookies, but not in and of itself. I won’t eat chocolate cake or chocolate ice cream.
Polt: The Mrs. *loves* the caramel eggs, I can’t eat them, they’re too sweet.
October 21st, 2008 at 5:35 pm
Who cares about calories and fat? MMMM Paradise Pie….
And also, we both hate Applebees, AND I don’t like chocolate either! Chocolate chip cookies are fine (and of course its fine in Paradise Pie), but I don’t eat chocolate cake or chocolate ice cream either. It’s not necessarily BAD, but I’m not a huge fan.
I do like hot chocolate though.
October 21st, 2008 at 5:38 pm
Polt: “And put down the Escapa and slowly back away…. ” Did you mix us up? I know we girls all look the same. If it helps, Tam’s the one with the tattoos : ). I enjoyed reading about your weekend. It wouldn’t let me comment, so I’ll try later.
Allergic to chocolate? Joeno! How horrible.
john: Well, that’s what makes it interesting…
And speaking of pie, Marie Callender’s cranberry apple streusel pie should be out soon (if not already). It is very, very yummy.
October 21st, 2008 at 5:42 pm
Michelle: joeno = laughed out loud at work.
October 21st, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Michelle: Considering you and I, it seems, are the only two women who hang out regularly in this mecca of male hotness, you’d think they’d be able to tell us apart. I played twice and gave up. Patience is not one of my virtues.
Oh and chocolate? Mmmmmmmmmmm.
October 21st, 2008 at 9:30 pm
Tam: Mmmmhmmm!
October 21st, 2008 at 10:32 pm
I am also allergic to red food dye, i’m also allergic to yellow!
October 21st, 2008 at 11:15 pm
I love anime and manga, i havent seen death note yet though. it looks really good. im addicted to books and anime and cute things. im also addicted to pantyhose. i LOVE halloween candy (or christmas colored ones).
I love fosters and all the cartoon network shows and all the claymation xmas ones. i like the racing car in monopoly.
October 22nd, 2008 at 5:22 am
Awwww, well I am addicted to YOU! It was meant to be.
I SO did not see this till now, though, because my computer conveniently chose to eat shit in the middle of my existential crisis. Nice of it, eh!! More stories on my crazy Paris life soon….
October 22nd, 2008 at 6:51 am
P.S. - Wow, how hard is Escapa!! I lasted a second! (And that’s what he said!)
October 22nd, 2008 at 2:39 pm
My addictions change but current ones are in this order
1 football; 2 movies 3: watching anything election related.
Movies is always a constant but I’ll be relieved after Nov 4th and go into horrible withdrawal after watching the Giants win the Superbowl again.
I also was always blue, the dog but in Clue I was Mrs. Peacock.
November 12th, 2008 at 6:29 am
OMG how did I miss this post?! I hadn’t seen it until just now. Thanks for playing along
