I wanna play

Seeing as how I'm always last picked for kickball and memes, here's mine:

WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? I was almost named for my Uncle Carlo.

DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? I have a signature like a rock star. That's all I need.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Bologna on white bread with Miracle Whip and a dab of French's mustard. This is lunch when I mow the yard. The beer and bag of Fritos are just window dressing at that point.

DO YOU HAVE KIDS? Not yet...and not from a lack of trying. Definitely enjoy the trying part.

IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? How can you not love my cute and cuddly face?

DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? Does a brown bear shit in the woods?

DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? The only things willingly removed from my body are my wisdom teeth.

WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Push a fat Texican over a bridge with a rubber band tied to his feet? ARE YOU CRACKED OR WHAT?!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? Dude, Frosted Flakes. 'Nuff said.

DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? Hello, McFly? Texan here. No such thing as laces on boots. Unless you count lace up ropers.

DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? I've got chisled abs of steel. No! Wait! Don't laugh so hard. What's so funny? I was cracking a joke. Remember, sarcasm? Seriously, I can ride a bicycle all day long in the hot August sun and not think twice. I've been known to carry my own body weight up and down the Texas Hill Country. I once carried a 150# deer carcass three miles to camp. Answer your question?

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM? Ben & Jerry have yet to invented a flavor I don't like.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? Body language. Tells a lot about how we are going to interact.

RED OR PINK? It's all pink on the inside.

WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? Lack of attention to detail. Procrastination. My big fat beer gut.

WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? Pinky and the Brain

DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS? I'm too sexy for contacts or glasses.

FAVORITE FOOD? Lasagna, chicken fried steak, venison tamales, PB&J at 12a.m....the list goes on.

SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? Scary has to be a mind fuck, not some slasher flick. I'll take the occasional happy ending, too.

WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? Shiner Kolsch beer.

ROFLMAO...you're the first person I've encountered besides me that used that line. Me, I've mastered thirteen fonts and am working on my calligraphy as well.

I also like the smell of old-fashioned feed stores.

Weeelllll excuuuuusee me! I guess I missed the invite lil' miss holly wonderbritches. ;)

I'm just a simple caveman. Your newfangled computer blogs and memes confuse and scare me.

Why has it always got to be the brown bears shitting in the woods, you discriminator? What about the black bears, the spectacled bears, and the panda bears -- or the koala bears?

THEY all have to poop somewhere.

You're just hatin' on the bear diversity!

shooter said...

Well, I could have used, "Does the Pope shit in the Vatican?" But then, where does the rabbi go? What about the Dali Lama? Zoroastrans? Tom Cruise?

I'm an equal opportunity hater. I just haven't found enough time to hate everything and everyone. So many bears, so little ammunition.

LMAO, Shooter. I'll tease you more gently next time. I figured a Native Houstonian could take it. Was it the "wanker" that pushed your button?
