MEME: Monday Madness

Miz Otto took time out from her spring planting (delayed by all the rain, don'tcha know) to tell us about the Monday Madness: “This week's questions come from one of our fellow players, tricia! Thank you Tricia, for your fabulous questions. Look for more from Tricia in the upcoming weeks. Thanks to everyone for playing, and have a great week! =)”

1. How many cop shows can you name? Miami Vice, NYPD Blue, Hill Street Blues, Peter Gunn, Nash Bridges Walker: Texas Ranger, the whole Law & Order franchise, NCIS, Homicide: Life On The Street, The Streets of San Francisco, Andy Griffeth, Cops, Gunsmoke, Forever Knight, and others whose titles will come to me in a few minutes...
2. Do you send text messages? Only if you stretch the definition currently in vogue to include blog entries and the rare IM...
3. If you could be on a game show (current or old), which one would you be on and why? Lingo – I like the boobies on the co-host, (no, not Chuck Woolery) Shandi Finnessey.
4. What are some of your favorite websites? paddling.net , Google and Ask Jeeves , and the Bangor Daily News. Then there's NRS, L. L. Bean, REI, Cabelas, and other shopping sites specific to my personal areas of interest. (Kinky Cards, anyone?)
5. What are your favorite things about the internet? The near instantaneous access to information, the sense of community it has engendered for shut-ins like me and the reduction in the size of the planet to a comprehensible size. Oddly enough, they're also my chief complaints about the internet, too.
6. What about least favorite? See above.
7. What are some good ways to deal with a pet loss? Run in circles, scream and shout; sit right down and begin to pout... oh, my, you expected helpful suggestions? Make a wanted poster, copy it many times and plaster your neighborhood with a blizzard of them, “chip” your pet (if appropriate – obviously a problem with a pet giraffe if you “chip” it at the base of the skull, for instance) when you first get them, tattoo an identification number where a vet or animal care worker will notice it, call your local animal welfare agencies and inform them of your loss and contact information, go out hunting for your wayward marsupial and be patient – these things often take time.

So you want to play along? Then a visit to Mistress Otto at her Pleasure Dome of Pain would be in order.
