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.
Joemo: Did they give you a special shampoo and comb for that?
joemo: An entire case of Weevils? Damn. I could only ever afford a 12-pack…
Bossy is the dog. That is all.
john: Dancing shirtless isn’t it. Hate to burst any figurative bubble.
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.
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!
I’d like to give you a shot in the ass!
There I said it. I couldn’t resist. I’m so weak.
Joemo: But Weevil always gives me the munchies. Hey! What if we made them into brownies?
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.
joemo: Whoa. Did I know you were an Ohioan?
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.
joemo: Where at in Ohio? I’m (obviously) in Columbus. Originally from Michigan.
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.
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)
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.
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.
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)?!?
Countrycide was kickass. Ianto finally got to do something with the team! Woohoo! And it was creeeeeepy…
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.
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.
Now we know why Dave S doesn’t drink and is so thin!!!! he does something that gives him the munchies!!! niiiice….
420
Countrycide was definitely creepy. Gotta run.
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…
: (
Being computerless makes me SO behind in Puntabulous comments.
I give up.
polt is like the perez hilton of Dave S…giving us all the inside information…
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…
I remember now that you love Argyle! Is cool! You just need a kilt to go with that look now!
OMG could you imagine me in an argyle kilt? That is a scary yet hugely entertaining idea!
Milo, you are brilliant.
Craiggers in an argyle kilt: the hugely entertaining part immensely out-weighs any scariness to it!
HUGS…
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….
Speaking of pride and joy…wait till you see tomorrow’s post!
Hmm… that sounds deliberately mysterious, Craig…
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.
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…)
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….
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.
Oh my god. Skillet Queso from Chili’s is my new favorite thing. It’s like a hug from Jesus.
Um, no. I’m afraid the Buffalo Chicken Fajita is the best thing ever invented, and available at your local Chili’s.
I am a complete wuss when it comes to spice, and their blue cheese looks like boogers. So i’m stickin with the queso.
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.
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?
Seriously Michelle M, cheese is a miracle drug! Mmmmm pepper jack! Love the Puntabulous addiction though!
And restaurant is nearly impossible to spell.
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.
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!
