A meaningless meme?
June 27th, 2006 by Bill
Just because yesterday was such an awful day, today I take this meme from Brooke and toss it out there:
1.You are in the Witness Protection Program and must invent a new first, last, and middle name. What is it?
Big Balls Billy
2.You are in a threesome with two famous people, alive or dead.
Sophia Loren. Ashely Judd (she’s feisty).
3.You are in charge of naming your new band. What’s the name of the band?
Sedition.
4. You are going to get a free tattoo. What would it be?
Invisible.
5. You are being forced to listen to one song over and over, ad infinitum, as a form of torture. What song is it?
Numa Numa. (Or whatever the hell it’s called.)
6. You are leaving your state/province. What state do you move to?
Hawaii.
7. You are leaving your country, where would you move?
Tuscany. Cook Islands.
8. You get to choose one book as the best ever written. What book do you choose?
The Sot-Weed factor by John Barth.
9. You get to choose one movie as the best ever made. What movie do you choose?
The Philadelphia Story. (Why didn’t I pick My Man Godfrey?)
10. You get to spend one day each as a bird, an insect, and a mammal. What bird would you be? What insect? What mammal?
A wren because it’s important to get in touch with your true self. Mosquito just to piss off people who annoy me. A dolphin so I can be happy.
11. You must relive one year of your life. Which would you like to relive?
Something in the late 1980s. My memory isn’t good on specific dates.
12. Which year(s) would you least like to relive?
Something in the early 1980s. Or anything to do with high school.
13. You have a time machine that will take you backwards anywhere from 1800 to the present. What decade do you most want to visit?
1920s or early 1930s … although the heating sucked. But they definitely dressed better.
14. You must choose to go skydiving or very-deep-sea diving.
Deep sea diving.
15. You get to return to the past (using that handy dandy time machine we were talking about before) and have a sexual encounter with a rock star who is no longer alive. Who do you pick?
Mama Cass Elliot. She’d be a hoot!
16. You get to be a contestant on any game show, airing today or in the past. What show do you want to be on?
Jeopardy. My useless knowledge must be good for something!
17. You are given $1 million dollars but you must give it all to one charity. What charity do you choose?
18. You must ban one word from the dictionary and all usage, to be no longer uttered or written. What word do you ban?
Impact as a verb.
19. You can have 100 million dollars tax-free but if you take it, you’ll die at the age of fifty. Do you take it?
Ha ha ha. Anyone who has read my blogs closely will know how old I am and realize this is not a good deal. No thanks!
20. There is no number 20.
But if there was, the answer would be “wooly.”
A few questions…
Would that be the present-day Sophia Loren, or c.1970? (Either would be fine with me)
How, exactly, does one get an invisible ta…… Wait, I get it.
Mama Cass? Really?
Sophia Loren about 1970 … Man of La Mancha time would be nice. Mama Cass … well, it would be different. Always open to new things.
You should get a tattoo of Dulcinea.
Hmm. I like that idea.
