The Alphabet Meme

For no apparent reason, other than aggravation (just kidding, dear), Robbie tagged me to participate in this Alphabet Meme. So be it. So I've done it:

A-Available or Single? Neither – I'm happily married and unavailable. Doesn't stop me from flirting, though.

B-Best Friend: Professor Doug (soon to be Herr Doktor Doug).

C-Cake or Pie: Apple pie, cherry pie or strawberry pie with whipped cream.

D-Drink of Choice: Plain Iced Tea in summer, black decaf coffee in winter.

E-Essential Item(s): Glasses, keys, wallet, inhaler, pocket knife, camera, and a book.

F- Favorite Color(s): Didn't I just answer that? Blue on blue, heart ache of heartaches.

G- Gummi Bears or Worms? Neither. I do like the gummi worms on a tombstone or a “dirt” cake.

H- Hometown: Orono, Maine.

I- Indulgence: Chocolate.

J- January or February: February – it's closer to summer.

K- Kids: Six step-children, seventeen grandchildren with another GC on the way.

L- Life is incomplete without: Music. With a melody. Rap, hip-hop and current urban ghetto noise need not apply.

M- Marriage Date: April 1, 1999.

N- Number of Siblings: Two brothers, both dead now.

O- Oranges or Apples? Oranges.

P- Phobias/Fears: Rats. Scorpions. Spider crawling on me (I can tolerate them doing their own thing, so long as I am not directly involved). Death by being burned alive.

Q- Favorite Quote: “Never pass up a chance to take a piss, kiss a woman, hold a baby or honor the dead.”

R- Reasons to smile: Puppies and kittens. Flowers. Smooth paddling/sailing. Success. Young women in springtime. My wife coming in at night from work.

S- Season: Autumn

T- Tag Three: Meanie, Minnie and Moe. If you'd like to do it and no one has tagged you, feel free to blame it on me.

U- Unknown Fact About Me: For such a large man troll, I have small feet.

V – Vegetarian or Oppressor of Animals? Omnivore.

W- Worst Habit(s): Well, I've given up smoking and drinking and chasing women. That just leaves being an opinionated curmudgeon ...

X – X-rays or Ultrasounds? Makes no never mind which I have. I've had both.

Y- Your Favorite Foods: I'm with Robbie ... a rare Prime Rib with horseradish sauce, and asparagus with a Tiramisu for dessert.

Z- Zodiac: I prefer the Open Sea ISO 9650, myself.
