TAG ME AND I'LL TAG YOU BACK
posted Monday, 9 May 2005
O.K. here we go again:
1. You will leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will post a blog with the answers to the questions and include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else.
4. When other comment asking to be interviews you will ask them five questions.
2. If you had a second chance knowing what you know now, how would you go about wooing your first love?
3. When your kid gets in trouble at school for doing something dangerously cool, how do you react?
4. What is your opinion on clogs? How about tacks, for that matter?
5. Your solution for war in the Middle East (500 words or less, double-spaced, with a bottle of JD on my desk by Monday).
"Fifteen Minutes of Meme" Interview
1. You will leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will post a blog with the answers to the questions and include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else.
4. When other comment asking to be interviews you will ask them five questions.
This seems to be a self-perpetuating meme. Or at least, it will perpetuate itself as long as people are curious to see what kind of questions they will be asked. To be honest, it’s really quite fun, and I was SO DISSAPPOINTED that two people asked me to be interviewed, I went over to Rina’s blog and asked her to interview me back, in some kind of incestuous attention-whore orgy. These are the questions she whispered in my ear:
1. Your 40th birthday is looming large on the horizon. Who do you invite to the party?
What!?! I just turned 30! “Looming on the horizon” indeed. Oh, you mean “if it were…” Well then, who wouldn’t I invite?!?! Celebrating 4 decades of Kapoo??! It would be a giant pig roast bonanza, and everyone I eve r met would be welcome. There would be local garage bands and carnival games and water balloon battles! I can’t wait!!
2. If you had a second chance knowing what you know now, how would you go about wooing your first love?
Good question. I’ve never been very good at the wooing. I think I would not try to woo at all. Just be myself and see where it would take me.
3. When your kid gets in trouble at school for doing something dangerously cool, how do you react?
Dangerously cool? What the hell does that even mean? Something that is “cool” and dangerous at the same time, like smoking in the boy’s room? Or something that is so “cool” that it is in danger of being bad, like bucking the system and starting a lunch room sit in? I seriously don’t understand this question. I’m going to have to say, “reply hazy, ask again later.”
4. What is your opinion on clogs? How about tacks, for that matter?
Clogs are awesome. Back in the day, I was one of the last of the red hot table top clog-dancers. You’d think that wooden shoes would be uncomfortable, but it turns out, you’d be right.
And your clogs should never have tacks in them. They should be carved out of one solid block of wood.
5. Your solution for war in the Middle East (500 words or less, double-spaced, with a bottle of JD on my desk by Monday).
Which “war in the Middle East”? The one that we started recently? Or the various religious wars that have been going on since Moses was a pup? Or all of them? I think We’re on the right track. Have America invade for dubious reasons and needlessly kill and destroy. Then continue invading from one country to another, causing carnage and upheaval, while managing to establish no real solutions or reconstruction. Then, when we have control of all of the oil, umm, I mean WMDs, we leave. All of the factions that hated each other will band together to fight us, and then when we finally leave, will be so busy celebrating, they’ll forget their own wars.

I already did interview you Mr. Crankypants. It isn't my fault if other
people don't play fair.
On a side note I am now mildly obsessed with the Subservient Chicken.....
