Time is of the essence and I'm short on both inspiration and energy, so, in lieu of a "proper" post, here's a meme I spotted at Parkway Rest Stop.
Do you remember your first favorite song? If so, what was it?
I think it was probably "Flash Gordon" by Queen. Mither played Queen's Greatest Hits all the time when I was a wee lad, and this song about an intergalactic superhero battling Ming The Merciless stood out to a four-year-old's ears. I was also convinced that "Bohemian Rhapsody" was four different songs. I went off Queen a loooooong time ago.
What do you refuse to eat?
I'm not a big seafood fan, but I don't know if I'd refuse to eat it at a dinenr party if there were no alternatives. But given a choice, I'd pass. I can happily leave most green vegetables as well.
Have you ever injected any kind of drug before?
Nope. I've had vaccinations given to me by doctors and nurses, but I've never injected myself and hope to avoid doing so if at all possible.
Do amusement park rides make you sick?
The waltzers have left me queasy a few times, but I've never felt sick on any others.
Who is your favorite Star Wars character?
Darth Vader. The best fictional bad guy ever, and the most stylish.
What kind of cheese do you put on your sandwiches?
Scottish mature cheddar.
What was the first thing you ever learned how to cook?
I'm not sure. I'd imagine we learnt to make rock cakes, scones or something similar at primary school. Otherwise, probably a boiled egg.
Did you ever collect beanie babies?
No. But I do collect loads of other stuff (stuff generally referred to by Mrs Wife as "useless shite").
When was the last time you got a haircut?
About a month ago I think. Baby Brother's girlfriend did it as a homer.
Have you ever been to a bachelor/bachelorette party?
Several, in locations as diverse as Newcastle, Skye, Inverness, Aberdeen and Amsterdam.
Where are you most ticklish on your body?
I'm not sure. Ask Mrs Wife.
Have you ever bailed anyone out of jail?
No. I might do if asked, depending on the person and the offence which they were suspected of.
What’s the last board game you played?
I'm not sure. Possibly Monopoly or Scrabble. It's been a while.
Do you still own any VHS tapes?
Yeah, an atomic fuckload of them. We don't have a video player set up anywhere in Dungroanin' at the moment, but we've still got one somewhere. And a lot of tapes that we haven't replaced or digitally backed up yet.
Do you shop at JC Penney’s ever?
Never even heard of it. I suppose it doesn't exist in Britain.
If there was a real Jurassic Park, would you visit it?
Damn right! A chance to see real-live dinosaurs close up - try and stop me!
Do you ever read the newspaper?
When I get the chance. I do like reading the Sunday papers, lounging around Dungroanin' with the football on, a cold drink and Football Manager running quietly in the background. I don't really get a chance to read the papers during the week, but I read The Guardian and the BBC news pages online.
Do you eat your mac & cheese with a fork or a spoon?
I rarely eat macaroni and cheese, but on the occasions I do, I use a fork. A spoon for pasta? What am I, three?
Is there any medicine/pill you take every day?
None. Hopefully that will remain the case for a long time.
How many 20 dollar bills do you have on you right now?
None. I do have a ten pound note though, which until recently was worth about 20 dollars. Now it's worth about 15.
Would you do meth if it was legalized?
I might try it once, just to see what it's like. But probably not, in all honesty.
Do you think Obama will be assassinated?
I certainly hope not, but I think that there's a huge risk of it happening.
Have you ever made out with someone and then never saw them again?
Yes. Obviously before Mrs Wife (or her previous incarnation Miss Girlfriend) came along.
Do you drink egg nog?
I've never had it. Not sure it would appeal.
What are you wearing?
Black trousers, black shirt with white checks, black socks, black shoes. I'm rocking the Johnny Cash look at work today.
