All the accolades people! It will only be a matter of time though before @TheBloggess is begging me to be her partner-in-blog.
I was tagged “IT” today in some sort of hay-wire internet tag game. It’s one of those games that you don’t even know you’re playing and then, BAM, you’re “It”.
I was tagged by someone I have never read or met until today, nor he me. Like that wasn’t confusing. Anyway – I like his style and am now following his page. Also, He’s in Canada. Which means:
1) He can brew beer, and who doesn’t need friends that brew beer?
2) He can play hockey and lacrosse.
3) He has a pet polar bear.
4) He loves Rush.
5) He has a HAM Radio.
I’m a Canadian Expert. I’ve seen Strange Brew a gazillion times. Which reminds me, I’m pretty sure he’s not a hoser. Check him out here: Drinking Tips for Teens.
The rules of this one were:
1. Post the rules. (Done.)
2. Post a photo of yourself and eleven random facts about you. (Nope. I did that on the other day here.) 
3. Answer the questions given to you in the tagger’s post. (Okay – that I can do. Below.)
4. Create eleven new questions and tag new people to answer them. (Nope. See 2.)
5. Go to their blog/twitter and let them know they have been tagged. (Also nope. Sorry, Ross – I warned you I didn’t play fair. I really just did this because I liked the questions and didn’t want to be a spoil sport. Also it gave me a chance to wow my readers with my extensive knowledge of Canada)
The guy with the bear and the beer asked me this:
- What’s that behind you? Nemo. You know, the one from the movie, except pillow sized because Tomboy Princess had a nightmare last night and slept in my bed.
- Scooby-Doo or Looney Tunes? As much as I love Shaggy, I’m going to have to say Looney Tunes. Did you ever watch Animaniacs? Genius.
- Are you sure? No. And I’ll wake up at 2:00 tomorrow morning and worry about everything I posted. That’s the only part I’m sure about. So, I guess that makes my answer “Yes.”
- Where do you go to find peace, and do you need reservations? Here and no. Just a phone call from a friend inviting me down.
- What’s the best thing a complete stranger has ever said to you? Dangit. I tried to answer this with a funny response and I keep backspacing it. ”You have such a sweet, beautiful family.” – and they’re right. I do.
- Would you rather visit a museum or shop for shoes? My weekend plans depend on your answer so think about it. I said THINK! Is there a rule in Canada against doing two things in one day that I don’t know about? Don’t limit yourself like that, dude.
- This would make a good country song about genetics: “My Dad Gave Me the Nose (But My Mom Gave Me the Finger).” Yes or no? Yes. Yes it would. But only if Weird Al sang it. Do they have a Weird Al in Canada? Or do you all use the same Weird Al we do?
- Come up with a better one then, if you’re so smart. Not falling for your Canadian reverse psychology trick, but it was a nice try. Well played, North, well played.
- I was at the liquor store one day stocking up on wine – five bottles to be precise. As he was ringing them up, the clerk said, “If you run out, we close at 5:30.” Witty or rude? I laughed.
- Getting dressed with the shades up is like _________. Complete this simile. Getting dressed with the shades up is like….Eh? That is SO not a question.
- Is getting blog-tagged more work than you bargained for at this point? Well. Yes. But only up until 10.
That was nice. It was nice that you answered the questions. You didn’t follow the rules but it was nice of you to participate. The nicest beaches in France are in Nice. Nice to meet you.
- All of Canada
Nice is nice. And If I’m ever that far north, you’ll have to teach me to brew and then we can play fetch with your polar bear. That’s be awesome.
Thank you for this laugh. SO funny.
Funny AND educational. You had no idea when you started reading this blog, you would learn so much, did you?
