Tagged again

The oh so cute PJ who writes Urban Recluse has tagged me with a meme. She must know of my inordinate fondness for the women of the UK and she is using it to her evil advantage. Nonetheless I shall comply with part of her meme and I will answer the following questions:

What were you doing ten years ago?
I was working for the man and keeping the wheels of mindless capitalism spinning by selling car and truck under car service tools, supplies, and equipment.

What were you doing one year ago?
Enjoying not making the wheels of capitalism spin, playing golf when it was not too hot or too cold, and cooking.

Five snacks you enjoy.
1. Brownies
2. Baked Bar B Q potato chips
3. Werthers hard candy
4. Sugar Snap Peas
5. low fat frozen yogurt

Five songs to which you know all the lyrics.
1. Cruel to Be Kind (Nick Lowe)
2. Tokyo Storm Warning (Elvis Costello)
3. Fernando (ABBA)
4. Bottle Of Smoke (The Pogues)
5. The Magnificent Seven (The Clash)

Five things you would do if you were a millionaire.
1. Buy two houses in North Carolina, one in the mountains and one at the beach.
2. Start an organic farm.
3. Start a charitable foundation to help find a for a cure for HIV/AIDS.
4. Travel and buy art from different places all over the world.
5. Open an art gallery/museum to show off all that art I bought.

Five bad habits.
1. Cutting the cheese at inappropriate times
2. Watching too much TV
3. Getting mad too easily
4. Staying up far too late
5. Being an ass

Five things you like doing.
1. Writing funny blog posts
2. Reading the genius blog posts by the fabulous people who inhabit my blog roll.
3. Cooking
4. Watching our Brit-com DVDs (Father Ted, Vicar of Dibley, Knowing Me Knowing You with Alan Partridge, The Thin Blue Line, and all three Little Britains)
5. Playing golf when it's not too hot or too cold (and no I do not use a cart, I actually play golf for the exercise)

Five things you would never wear again.
1. a uniform shirt that had my name on it
2. my gold "This Show Stinks!" Tony Kornheiser ESPN radio show T shirt (RIP old friend)
3. my Washington Redskins sweat shirt (my girlfriend hated it, I loved it but I'm too fat to wear it, so she wins, damn her!!!!)
4. Polo brand cologne
5. any tye dyed article of clothing that also had the words "Grateful" and or "Dead" on them

There you go Miss PJ. If you send me and my girlfriend plane tickets to London so we can visit you and hang out after Blair gets run out of office, I promise I'll do the rest of the meme you tagged me with.

Otherwise it ends here babe.
Oh yes. It. Ends. Here.

Bottle of Smoke...

And you had me at sugar snap peas anyway.

Fran-any song that has the following lyrics "Priests and maidens, drunk as pagans, and I had a Bottle of Smoke..." can't be all bad. (grin)

Thanks for doing this Dr M, I must find a way to take advantage of this weakness for Brit lasses. I can't offer you plane tickets, though I would love to celebrate the end of Blairdom with you. I wonder if I could instead show you an example of my enduring love for monkey-kind, with a link to a post I did a while ago about monkey-related trivia.

Loved the monkey trivia post PJ. And thanks for thinking of me with the tag. Since you can't send me tickets to London, start saving now for tickets for us to go to Jamaica with you next time you go. (grin)

Actually, I am thinking of going there again at Christmas. Lots of bananas there for my monkey mates :)
