Which Jaquandor did a lllooonnnggg time ago.
1. Tell us who the last person that you took a shower with.
The Wife.
2. Tell us about your favorite tee shirt. Extra points if you show a pic. (We know. What can you do with freakin’ extra points?)
This is one of the T-shirts I got for becoming a Coverville citizen. The model, BTW, is Coverville host Brian Ibbott’s wife Tina. I also like the red one with white text that says, “Not the real thing,” a parody of the Coca-cola message.
3. Has anyone ever hit on you even though they knew you were taken?
Actually, yes, though not in years, thank goodness.
4. Do you plan what to wear the next day?
Generally not. I’m pretty decisive, though, in the morning.
5. How are you feeling RIGHT now? Why?
Hot. The spring went from too cool to too hot in about three weeks.
6. What’s the closest thing to you that’s black?
The computer mouse.
7. Tell me about an interesting dream you remember having.
Well, it’s too weird to explain to your understanding, but it involved a former girlfriend’s daughter and a former pastor’s daughter being siblings. The latter was imperiled, and it was my job to tell the former, but she didn’t want to hear it.
8. Did you or might you meet anybody new today?
Always possible.
9. If you could be doing anything right now (or perhaps after you finish this ridiculous meme) what would it be?
Taking a bath. Not a shower, a bath.
10. Can you think of a meme question that’s never been asked?
“Is there linoleum in heaven, or is it a sure sign of hell?”
11. What comes to mind when I say China?
Apparently, every third tchotchke in the US is made there.
12. Are you overly emotional?
I don’t think so. But I could be wrong. No, I’m not. Yes, I am.
13. If you could listen to just one rock album (CD, vinyl or mp3) which one would you pick?
Probably Revolver (Beatles), though Pet Sounds (Beatles) and Still Crazy After All These Years (Paul Simon) might be it.
14. Do you bite into your ice cream or just lick it?
Yes.
15. Do you like your car?
No. It’s a boring, non-descript silver or gray vehicle. The only way I recognize it is by the license plate. Strange, because we used to have a 1997 white Ford Taurus, a very popular car, which I almost always could find in a large parking lot.
16. Do you like yourself?
What’s not to like!
17. Would you go out to eat with Charlie Sheen?
Sure, why not? Hope he’s paying.
18. What was the last song that you listened to?
“1985” by Paul McCartney and Wings.
19. Are (or were) your parents strict?
My father tended to be. But my mom was a softie.
20. Have you ever wondered what attending a wild orgy (if only to watch or…) would be like?
Anthropologically, I suppose so, but it never seemed all that appealing.
21. I say cottage cheese. You say:
Goes with almost any food.
22. Have you ever met a celebrity?
Rod Serling, Earl Warren, Nelson Rockefeller, Anita Baker, Randy Newman, maybe a couple of others.
23. What was the last movie that you watched at home?
I have no idea. I seldom watch movies at home. I can say that the last movie my wife and I saw was Our Family Wedding on HBO, which was not great, but we enjoyed it because we got to see a film alone together at a hotel.
24. Is there anything sparkly in the room you’re in?
My daughter has some stuff in here.
25. What countries have you visited?
The US, Canada (going again this year), Mexico (once), Barbados (once)
26. Have you ever made a phone call while you were drunk that you’ve regretted? If yes, do tell.
Not really.
27. Where were you going the last time that you were on a train?
Coming back from Charlotte, NC with my wife and daughter, after my mother’s funeral.
28. Bacon or sausage?
Link sausage over bacon, bacon over sausage patties.
29. How long have you had a cell phone?
Since whenever I had my first printer at home because it was the same weekend. Five years? Don’t remember except I seldom use it.
30. What other memes do you do regularly?
ABC Wednesday. Sometimes others.
31. Who is the craziest meme host?
Mrs. Nesbitt; she’s wild and crazy!
32. Who invented chopsticks?
Edgar Chop.
33. Who are you going to be with tonight?
The Wife and the Daughter.
34. Are you too forgiving?
I suppose being “too forgiving” is possible. I’d rather err in that direction than sulk, which I have been known to do occasionally.
35. When was the last time that you were in love?
About a nanosecond ago. OK, another nanosecon…another one…
36. Tell us about your best friend.
Other than the Wife, my best friends I met the first day of kindergarten and the first day of college.
37. What was the stupidest thing you learned in high school?
I didn’t learn anything “stupid” in high school. In fact, I was supposed to memorize proofs for geometry, but I never bothered. The COMPONENTS of the proofs I thought were important, but the rote memorization I thought was dumb. Naturally, the first proof was on the final, I used elements that I “hadn’t learned” yet, lost 6 points, and got an 86 on the final, the only time between 4th and 11th grade I got less than a 90 on a math final. (I got a 97 in algebra and a 98 in trig.)
38. What was the last thing that you cried about?
Undoubtedly, a story about the war on TV.
39. What was the last question you asked?
“What time is it?”
40. Favorite thing to do this time of the year?
Bicycle.
41. If you had to get a (or another) tattoo, what would it be?
I have no tattoos, but if I had to, it’d be some representation of Pisces.
42. How would your best friend describe you?
“He’s a great guy.”
43. Have you ever seen all three Twilight films?
No, none of them, and probably never will.
44. Ever walked into a glass door?
Yes, it was an office building in San Francisco.
45. Favorite color on that person that you are attracted to?
Red. Or white. Or blue. Or patterned.
46. Have you ever slapped someone?
No.
47. What hairstyle (for you) would you like to see return?
I don’t care about style.
48. What was the last CD you bought?
19 – Adele.
49. Do looks matter to you?
A little. Not as much as to many, I hope.
50. Could you ever forgive a liar?
Well, I’d define terms. A lie to save another embarrassment is different from a self-serving lie. That said, probably, but chronic liars, no.
51. What’s the hardest bill to pay every month?
Currently, we borrowed money to get the roof fixed, and we’re paying off the loan, but the work on the roof STILL hasn’t gotten started. I’m getting peeved.
52. Do you like your life right now?
Yes. Most of it. I miss racquetball. I wish I had more Roger time. But it’s fine.
53. Do you sleep with the TV on?
occasionally, I’ll fall asleep in front of the one TV, which is in the living room.
54. Can you handle the truth?
But what is truth, is it unchanging laws?
we both have truths, are mine the same as yours?
55. Do you have good vision?
Fair. I’ve had glasses since I was eight or so. The deterioration as an adult, though is relatively minor, at least in recent years. BTW, I LOVE the fact that bifocals don’t look like bifocals used to, with the giveaway line.
56. Do you hate or dislike more than 3 people?
Jaquandor wrote, “I don’t like hate. It leads to the Dark Side. Dislike? Yeah, that’s unavoidable. I don’t put numbers on it, though.” Good answer.
57. How often do you talk on the phone?
At work, several times a day, especially on Tuesday, which is my primary reference day. If the phone rings in the library, I’m first to answer it, if I can. I’m second on Thursday.
58. What celeb would you like to come home to?
Some celebrity chef.
59. What are you wearing?
T-shirt and shorts.
60. What is your favorite wild animal?
Tigers.
61. Where was your Facebook picture taken?
It’s a graphic, not a photo.
62. Can you waltz?
I could in second grade. Now, not so much.
63. Do you have a job?
Yes. 18 years at this one; I get a pin with the number of years every year, starting with the fifth anniversary.
64. What was the most recent thing you stole?
Probably a pen, but it was accidental.
65. Have you ever crawled through a window?
More than once. Sneaking out, sneaking in, locked out, other people being locked out. But not in at least 30 years.
Interesting series of questions and answers. Thanks for your visit. Here is why New Zealand is named after the Dutch Zeeland:”The first Europeans known to have reached New Zealand were Dutch explorer Abel Tasman and his crew in 1642.”The British captain Cook came later.
We got our roof done 5 years ago, I will be paying it off for many years! Good Luck!
Hi Roger, came Via Reader Wil’s site.
Yes, In deed a burning question.
Why did Britain take over New Zealand when the Dutch came here first?
Ann
That is actually also true of New York State, albeit much earlier. It was settled by the Dutch, but the British eventually took over.
