Just a fun Meme

I saw this meme on another blog and thoguht it'd be fun.

1. Your name spelled backwards: Rolyat Sirron Leahcim

2. Where were your parents born? Clearfield and Salt Lake City, Utah

3. What is the last thing you downloaded onto your computer? A podcast for The Skeptics Guide to the Universe

4. What's your favorite restaurant? Lately it has been Sangrias if we’re going as a family, but Little Cuba in Tucker for date night.

5. Last time you swam in a pool? Last Saturday at my brother’s house.

6. Have you ever been in a school play? Never been in a school play. I was in a couple church road shows. Does that count?

7. How many kids do you want? Why, are you getting rid of some? I’m happy with the four we have.

8. Type of music you dislike most? That crap I get subjected to at every stop light via the next car’s subwoofer and rattling windows.

9. Are you registered to vote? Of course. I feel like a hypocrite if I wasn’t, considering how much I vent about politics on this blog.

10. Do you have cable? Nope.

11. Have you ever ridden on a moped? No. Motorcycle many times but never one of those little weed-eaters with wheels.

12. Ever prank call anybody? Yes.

13. Ever get a parking ticket? Never a parking ticket. I’ve had a few moving violations but nothing since about 1993.

14. Would you go bungee jumping or sky diving? Yes and yes, in a heartbeat.

15. Furthest place you ever traveled? Wakkanai, Japan. Three plane rides totaling over 18 hours and 12 hours of jet lag. Then a 7 hour train ride to the furthest north point in Japan. It’s one of the prettiest places on the planet if you ask me.

16. Do you have a garden? No. I enjoy walking past Victoria’s blueberries and flower garden as I walk from the door to the car.

20. Best movie you've seen in the past month? Bourne Ultimatum

22. Chips or popcorn? Chips, I have to floss for about 10 minutes after eating popcorn to get all of those kernel chunks out of my gums.

23. What color lipstick do you usually wear? I guess this meme was originally written for women, but I'll play along. I did wear a bright shade of red for the road show in question 6.

24. Have you ever smoked peanut shells? Is this some form of folk remedy to cure athlete’s foot or something? Cause if it works I might try it. My foot really itches.

25. Have you ever been in a beauty pageant? I lack the qualifications.

26. Orange Juice or apple? Usually Orange Juice, but I’m flexible.

27. Who was the last person you went out to dinner with and where did you dine? It was the whole family at Denny’s in West Virginia on the way home from New York. That reminds me. I need to take my wife to Little Cuba this week. It’s been too long since just the two of us have sat at a quiet little table and split a plate of yucca fritas.

28. Favorite type chocolate bar? Hersey’s

29. When was the last time you voted at the polls? Nov. 2006

30. Last time you ate a homegrown tomato? Not much of a tomato fan.

31. Have you ever won a trophy? I don’t think so. If I did I’m sure it was for participation only and not a first place or anything like that.

32. Are you a good cook? I doubt I’d win any awards, but I love to cook and I get pretty good reviews from those I’m feeding. Isn’t that what’s really important? The kids love my fudge.

33. Do you know how to pump your own gas? As opposed to what? Sitting there and waiting for somebody else to do it? Yeah, like that’ll happen anywhere beside Oregon.

34. Ever order an article from an infomercial? No

35. Sprite or 7-up? 7-up all the way. There was this Japanese restaurant on Buford Hwy that used to serve 12oz 7-ups in returnable bottles. They’d wet the straw paper and stick it to the side of the bottle when they served it. Those were the best 7-ups on the planet.

36. Have you ever had to wear a uniform to work? Still do. They currently say BellSouth above the left pocket and I’m waiting for my ATT uniforms

37. Last thing you bought at a pharmacy? 1.25x reading glasses

38. Ever throw up in public? JCPenny’s camping department, Northlake mall, when I about 12.

39. Would you prefer being a millionaire or find true love? Well, if I can only pick one there is no way I’d trade in the one I already have.

40. Do you believe in love at first sight? Anyone who has ever watched their child being born knows that this is true. I’ve fallen in love at first sight four times.

41. Can exes be friends? I’ve never seen it work too well for others. Personally, since I don’t have and ex and I have absolutely no desire to create one, the answer to this question will have to remain a mystery.

42. Who was the last person you visited in a hospital? My sister and my newest nephew.

43. Did you have a lot of hair when you were a baby? Yes.

44. What's your all time favorite Saturday Night Live Character? Chevy
Chase’s Gerald Ford brings me to tears every time.

45. What was the name of your first pet? Bruno, my German shepherd

46. What is in your purse? My laptop, two books, a legal pad, a few adaptors and power cords, pens and pencils and a Garmin GPS. My friends at work call it my “man bag”. They can call it whatever they want. It's essentially just a purse.

47. Favorite thing to do before bedtime? Try to carry on a conversation with my wife in sign language while she gargles for exactly two minutes after brushing her teeth. My goal is to get her to laugh so hard she has to spit out the mouthwash before her precisely timed expectoration.

48. What is one thing you are grateful for today? Peace. The kids are playing together very nicely right now. It’s not completely unheard of, but I make a point of noticing when I happens.

  1. Victoria told me you posted these. Your answers are far funnier than mine! Thanks for the good laugh! Donnie hates popcorn for the very reason you explained. The man-bag sounds great! Donnie got a TomTom GPS for his birthday. He downloaded John Cleese's voice. It's his new favorite toy! We love it when we trek the back roads between here and all his siblings' homes on the south side.
