Okay, okay, fine then ... I will indulge in one of these meme things despite my usual stance, as expressed in the blog preface. But ONLY due to the unlikely planetary alignments which cascaded into place: A) Scully 'tagged' me and I happen to have a soft spot for her. B) Carteach did a titillating and inspiring job of responding to her challenge already. C) They both confessed that it was an effort requiring few deep mental gyrations D) AND the most important aspect of this rare alignment; I belatedly stumbled upon a post from Buck in which he had been tagged and respectfully acknowledged that I was not an option in passing on such a slimy booger. Guilt will get you EVERYWHERE with me; my mother could have told you that without a pause or a quick blink. Just don't think that I have declared open-season now, okay? I AM still a hermit and curmudgeon after all - you must not forget that this is why I am out here writing this journal in the first place.
Soo ... the idea is to answer these questions with only a photo or other graphic, NO words allowed. Here goes then (but I reserve the right to complete and childish asininity):
1. What is your current relationship status?
.
.
2. What is your current mood?
.
.
3. What is your favorite band/singer?
.
.
4. What is your favorite movie?
.
.
5. What kind of pets do you have?
.
.
6. Where do you live?
.
.
7. Where do you work?
.
.
8. Who do you look like?
.
.9. What do you drive?
.
.10. What did you do on Saturday?
.
.11. What did you do on Sunday?.
.
.
12. What is your favourite network TV Show?
.
N/A
.
13. Describe Yourself.
.
14. What is your favorite candy?
..
Sooo ... do I dare pass this one on to the other folks regularly supporting my social life with their comments (and haven't already been tagged)? How about Buck, Mushy, Fat Hairy, Cat, Bruno, David, Ginger, Da Moose, Goddess, Alex, putz? It's okay, you can be a curmudgeon just like me. And who did I miss that might actually be game for any of this foolishness? Just let me know!

i thought for sure the day you were tagged were, was the day i would learn so much about you, motives, where from, personallity, but you were tagged and my simple request from a past comment leaves me unsatisfied. i can only hope you get tagged again
OK... this WILL require thought and effort, specifically scrounging up suitable images from these here inter-tubes. There won't be an immediate response from me...
Which: Can I steal graphic #1? It's MUCH more illustrative of my relationship status than yours, Lin.
Unless you know something I don't, of course. ;-)
Oh shit! OK,, that's a good one. It's gonna take a while,, but I'll get it done. Cool.
Oh-hah-hah-hah-hah, putz - now you know why I liked that one! Me bad!
Buck, yep, it definitely takes up some time scrounging around for images. But at least you don't have to get all sorts of deep and revealing philosophical about it - me likes!
Absolutely, grab that image (since your past MPs can't find me). It does describe your situation more than ours (although ours runs flip flop from hour to hour in that respect). But we did get recent kudos for both of us still being around with none of those unsightly shallow graves under these circumstances. As in your case, so far, so good!
Lol!
Love it!
You have my kind of humor!
Oh, and I loved that movie too. Especially the weird old witch creature.
You know I about wet my pants laughing at that first one and it went downhill from there.
I had fun with mine so figured you might be up for it, and thanks for being a good sport, given your meme directive and all.
"Scully"
FHB, don't panic - you can play the curmudgeon card if you get pressed for time. It did take me longer to scrounge images than I had planned but I did have plain old 'bad kid' fun doing it.
Ohhh m-a-a-a-n! Carteach, drats, I should have used Ogra with her creaky planetary stuff instead of Granny Clampett. Ogra kicked absolute butt! For some odd reason, I love cranky and feisty old broads!
Well, LinM, I am delighted that I got you to laugh like that (brought to you by Depends, the leader in laugh moment confidence). Nothing made my day more than when we could get our mother laughing so hard that she giggled all the way down the hall to the bathroom, throwing light and laughing curses over her shoulder all the while. Of course, it just egged us on all the more. Life can be SO good!
Yeah, I did have fun with this one and hope others will, too. You guys got me going so thanks! Just don't be disappointed when the curmudgeon doesn't come charging out from under the porch the next time you drive by. I'm wise to you now. grin
i think i get it, sunday the lights go out...............
Awww, putz, that was a cute guess! But no cigar. I wish I would have taken a photo of that switch box before I fought the two switches into place - it looked like an explosion in a mattress factory. There was a lot of potentially zappy things going on in there and I could only hope that I wasn't connected to a live circuit when Mark hit the generator in the middle of that exercise. But the Rat hasn't burned down yet and that's always a good sign when dealing with electrical modifications.
Cadburys...says it all!
I'm game--but don't shoot! :D
I'll get back with you when the deed is done.
Still grinning over your depiction of your current relationship status--Priceless!
Okay, Lin, the deed is done! It kept me entertained for quite a while this afternoon, but it was worth it because in addition to having fun I learned a new trick along the way.
Ohhhhhh thud - you said it all. For a reasonably priced chocolate (i.e. not getting into the pricey European offerings), Cadbury's CAN NOT be beaten ... period! I cringe when I read in the WSJ about take-overs and buy-outs involving Cadbury; living in great fear that someone will come along and knock that sublime sensual factor right out of their product. Just shoot me in the forehead and be done with it when that happens.
OH-OH-OH, cool - I was hoping you would be game for a go at it! YES, do let me know when you have finished your masterpiece.
As for the relationship depiction - perhaps I know the mind of man far too well. Of course, it works both ways - I just happened to find a convenient graphic which supports HIS likely thoughts after being confined in an overgrown potting shed with me for far too long. I think I might just frame that one - it's a way too cool statement on normal domestic politics.
Migawd, Ginger, you are FAST efficient! I hadn't even hit 'send' on my reply before you got it done. I will be right over to look before I shut the gen down.
Okay Lin, you have to expose my igorance about how one puts pix in the middle of a post. I really have no idea. Tried it once or twice and blogger decided to put them where it wanted them. If I ever find out how to do it, watch out. Asking Google blogger to help was a waste of time. Sniffle.
LOL! The first ?/pic are hilarious. Great job, Lin:)
Woowheee! Cat, the good news is that if this Luddite can do it, you most certainly can. Rather than confound everyone here, I will send you an e-mail with the various things I learned the utmost hard way. So hold on! We might not be in shape to do that tonight after our dinner up top with the cowboys but, if that's the case, I will do so tomorrow. No rush on that meme thing so we have plenty of time to get it figured out.
Don't normally do these exercises, mostly because I have a hard time deciding which is my favorite of anything!
Maybe I'll play one day when there's nothing else to do.
Thanks for thinking of me though.
What a hoot! You crack me up!!
I remember that #9 "experience", from one of my very first "visits"!
See? Told you I would make it around sooner or later.....!
Dogs and N/A for TV Shows....great minds think alike!
Mushy, not to worry at all. That's a good idea there; sticking this one in your rainy day 'desperate blog ideas' file!
How'd I miss replying to your comment, Goddess? I know ... senior brain fart moment at work. Lemme know when you have yours done and posted, okay? I know it will be a royal beauty.
Craver! I was trying to be serious! grin
Bruno ... ohhh, you remembered that shining moment in pothole history, did you? I was kind of hoping that us senior bloggers might not retain such embarrassing things well. See, you're still firing strong on all cylinders! And it's good to see that you're feeling well enough to be making the rounds again!
Pat, you know ... 'tossing the toob' was the best thing we have ever done. And it gave us more time to watch and really appreciate the fur circus going on around us. We'd be fools to let TV usurp real life again.
You guys are making me feel better about our decision to give up our satellite tv. When we moved to our house two years ago we had only dial-up (s-l-o-w) Internet available so we ordered up the satellite tv to have some source of electronic entertainment in addition to radio, especially during the long winter evenings. (Up here in northern Ontario we have ten months of winter and two months of poor skiing, you know.) We sometimes watch documentaries, biographies, old movies and an occasional show on a commercial channel. I'm an avid reader, but sometimes a change of pace is nice.
Anyway, a year ago high-speed Internet finally became available in our neck of the woods and we jumped on that. Unfortunately we were locked into a two-year satellite tv contract. That contract ends tomorrow, the 22nd of May. So starting tomorrow we will join the ranks of the tv-free. Sigh.
Ah-hah-hah-hah! Ginger, I apologize but I just had to laugh since you two got sucked into the pricey wiles of the satellite carpetbaggers' 'captive audience' like we did (I know, a warped sense of humor but misery adores company!). Although we only signed up for a severely limited computer connection, these folks have proven to be shameless scumbags. One hundred years ago, they would have been tarred and feathered and run out of the boonies for their hollow come-ons. You KNOW that there is a scathing blog commentary on that situation coming up here some day. (cat-like grin)
Looking forward to it, Lin. :D
Ginger, yep, they deserve a good killing one of these days, methinks. Absolutely shameless. I suppose that if they monitor this blog, my connection will drop to even lower levels of stunningly poor performance. But some things are just worth the retaliation, you know.
Give me time to find some pictures. I will do it, eventually. Promise, without a word of a lie, no foolin, scouts honour, fer shur, without a doubt, not foolin here,
Moose, don't rush yourself - I know you've have been busier than a one-armed paper hanger. Glad you were able to break away and catch up on the foolishness!
