Five “Interesting” Things About Me

by chilihead on October 16, 2007

in Memes

I purposely put interesting in quotes up there in the hope it might drive Shannon crazy. I’m a good and thoughtful friend like that. Well, that and to point out that what I might consider interesting may, in fact, bore you to tears.

Back to the matter at hand. An incredibly talented and funny blogger, Lyssa at FuseMoms, has tagged me for the aforementioned meme. She got me to do it purely by means of flattery: she said she tagged me because she wanted to introduce her readers to me. I’m ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille.

  1. I am the funniest person I know. Seriously. I’ve been known to make myself spontaneously laugh hysterically–snorting and all–just by thinking things to myself. When I try to explain these hallucinations hilarious thoughts to others, their minds are too small to comprehend the madness hilarity. They shake their heads and walk away.
  2. I can (and have) plan(ned) an entire one-week Disney World vacation for our
    family in under 90 minutes–reservations, dining, daily activities,
    everything.
  3. I am the walrus. Koo koo kachoo.
  4. I have an unlimited knowledge of random TV and movie quotes. Here’s one for you: Bear’s got a big nose, doesn’t he? Anyone know who said it and in what context for what product? I’m telling you. It’s a freakin’ gift. A gift that does not extend to movies made after 1995 for some reason. Which makes the first statement of this number a complete lie, doesn’t it? See? I’m cracking myself up and y’all are just along for the ride wonderin’ when you can get off. Just one more, then you’re done.
  5. I cannot stand the smell of boiled hotdogs or the thought of the water they were boiled in. My friend, Denise, calls this Weiner Soup and torments me. She is funny, but evil–two traits I admire greatly.

I hereby tag Jenny at Chased by Children, Lani at The Wooden Porch, and Bananas at Absolutely Bananas.

Now, I have to say, I’m giving up the memes for a while. Oh, you can try to woo me with promises of introducing me to your readers, or perhaps the promise of coffee. The only thing that will convince me, though, is a Dyson. So if you have a Dyson for me, tag me. I’ll be over here holding my breath, trying not to make myself laugh.

I love you anyway.

2 Jenny from Chicago October 16, 2007 at 4:14 am

Seriously, being mentioned on your blog is like being mentioned on Oprah’s book club…only with happy endings and fewer Aha moments.

3 Sue @ praise and coffee October 16, 2007 at 6:51 am

You ARE funny! I’ll be back!

4 Jeana October 16, 2007 at 8:47 am

Well you crack ME up. Seriously. You’re “hilarious”.

5 Lyssa Ireland Thomas October 16, 2007 at 9:59 am

I will definitely have the Dyson on hand for the next “tag,” baby! It’ll be worth it becuse you crack me up! Thanks for playing!

Eww I can’t stand to boil hot dogs. I like them grilled or broiled. In a pinch I will microwave them, but boiling is gross to me.
Weiner soup, *shudder.*

Will you give me all your plans for that Disney trip? We’re considering doing the mouse but the time and effort seems to keep me from going all the way. I’ve only made it to first base with him…
And seriously, your humor doesn’t make me shake my head and walk away; it makes me snort hot coffee up my nose for a thorough sinus cleaning. Thank youuuuu, Chilihead.

re: #5. I bet you really liked that scene in “My Bloody Valentine” where that guy gets his head boiled in the pot of weiners. And then they cut his head off and “hide” it in the fridge. (…and I KNOW this movie was pre-95!)

11 Smockity Frocks October 16, 2007 at 2:05 pm

I think you’re hilarious, but I crack my own self up, too. So take that for what it’s worth!

12 emily October 16, 2007 at 2:29 pm

eeeew, wiener soup! grossin’ me out.

13 Ornery's Wife October 17, 2007 at 4:34 pm

Well, wiener soup isn’t as gross as what my husbands parents used to fix; Weeny Gravy, which was white gravy with hot dog chunks in it. He claims it turned him off hot dogs for life.

14 Jennifer, Snapshot October 17, 2007 at 5:16 pm

Oh, I crack myself up as well. Laugh out loud reliving funny things I’ve said or thought.
I have the TV gift too–specifically in regards to Seinfeld.

15 Lani from The Wooden Porch October 17, 2007 at 11:38 pm

Oh fun!!!!
#2- I am SO impressed! That is freakin’ awesome! I’d like to see you try that with dial up though.
I am the egg man.
#5. You really are a freak.

16 Lani October 17, 2007 at 11:39 pm

But Denise cracks me up.

17 AbsolutelyBananas October 18, 2007 at 2:06 am

Ooh, these ARE “interesting”! (I love using quotes incorrectly, it brings me great joy. “Hee hee!”)

18 Lynette October 18, 2007 at 8:09 am

Boiled hot dog water? I wonder what the name of that phobia would be called. Thermocaninehydrophobia?
I like your Halloween layout. Very festive!

19 Special K Toni October 18, 2007 at 8:27 am

I agree with number 1! Well, about me, not you though. I bet if we got together we would just be laughing, yet not talking to each other.
Weiner Soup- priceless!

20 Avery October 20, 2007 at 9:24 pm

Well, I don’t have a Dyson to offer, but I do have a fine assortment of Tyson chicken dinners. Mmm, chicken!

21 tanyetta October 23, 2007 at 12:49 am

22 Robin (the pensieve one) October 23, 2007 at 2:07 pm
