Unce, tice... fow tines a meme-ry


Dear people of the Internet,

I was tagged TWICE today for different memes. I'm feeling all kinds of love and it makes my bits feel funny. Lucky for you, Moxie Mom tagged me to do this here thing-thang below, because I had no idea what I was going to write about today. Do you have any inkling how hard it is to come up with fascinating topics every day? DO YOU?!

So, my pretties, I give you many, many four things of little importance.



Four First Names of Crushes I’ve Had

1. David
2. Mike (several)
3. Rene
4. Rhett (no, really, and not the Gone With the Wind dude)



Four Pieces of Clothing I Need to Get Rid Of

1. Neon yellow bike shorts from 1990 - I am no longer a member of Salt N' Pepa
2. That flowery, summer dress that Phil wore for our block party
3. Those bras bought from Wal-Mart in 1987 that smell like rubber
4. About five pairs of black stockings that have more holes than Swiss cheese



Four Names I’ve Been Called at One Time or Another

1. Bool
2. Gus
3. SARIE?!
4. Baby Doll



Four Professions I Secretly Want to Try

1. "Solid Gold" dancer
2. Vaudevillian actress
3. Reclusive billionaire who saves urine in jars
4. Aretha Franklin's backup singer (Sock it to me.)



Four Musicians I’d Most Want to Go on a Date With

1. Wayne Coyne (The Flaming Lips) - He'd be a great conversationalist about Long John Silver's and vibrators. I hope he brings the puppet.

2. Shane McGowan (The Pogues) - I just want to hear that scary laugh over and over, but I can't look at his teeth, or lack thereof.

3. Tom Waits - I adore his gravelly voice, and he's so funny and intelligent in movies/interviews. How often does a fish get to eat some of the finer cheeses? I don't know. I don't want to grow up, either.

4. Woody Guthrie - We could kill a few fascists before dessert or discuss insane asylums.



Four Foods I’d Rather Throw Than Eat

1. Sardines - I do not eat heads and/or eyeballs.
2. Fried chicken - The idea of eating skin makes me feel like I'm Ed Gein.
3. Tripe - tripas, chitlins, menudo... BLEAH!
4. Canned beets - ick



Four Things I Like to Sniff

1. The back of Amos' head
2. All of the essential oils that we use for my business
3. The coffee aisle in a grocery store
4. Smells of the forest while hiking the Rocky Mountains




Four People to Tag

1. Amanda
2. Phil
3. Stephen
4. Judy



19 beautiful people muttered something back:

Phil "Gin Is Not A Dental Hygiene Product" Porter said...

Here's a thing I read at the Solid Gold Dance Connection link that you so helpfully provided: "In '86, Darcel had many speaking roles on SG."

I didn't remember any Solid Gold dancer ever speaking. Apparently Andy Gibb and Dion Warwick had me completely brainwashed.

Now if you'll excuse me, after watching the Shane MacGowan clip, I'm going to spend the rest of the night flossing.

Anon said...

Ah, but you make me giggle. Solid Gold Dancer, Fried Chicken, Woody Guthry and Ed Gein in one blog - I am awed by pop culture references causing my synaps to fire like poprocks in cola. ;)

imaginary binky said...

"Jake-Leg" Phil - I, too, lack the memory of talking Solid Gold dancers. I was probably too distracted by Dionne Warwick and Andy Gibb.
We'll keep some gin and floss around just in case Shane ever stops by.

imaginary binky said...

Anon - Hahaha. Phil and I are the queens (?) of pop culture references. I'm glad that I could use fried skin, serial killers, silly dancing, and travelin' folks singers to entertain you. See? I really AM a vaudevillian actress.

Karen said...

Flaming Lips, The Pogues, Woodie Guthrie... wow, are we twins? What about Deney Terrio from Dance Fever? Now that was HOT. Long live NaBloPoMo so we can find more cool stuff like this! We're all just Wookin' Pa Nub~

Sarcastic Mom (aka Lotus) said...

I think I'm going to start making up memes to hand out to people.

But I'm going to make really awful ones. Heh.

Veronica said...

Oh dear god Lotus no!!!

You have neon yellow bike shorts O-o?

Judy said...

hmmm..I'm not up to speed on the tag and memes and things that sound like survey things. I usually don't do 'em... I'll take a pass.

but I like reading yours :)

Have fun!

imaginary binky said...

Karen - If you like the things I like, then 1) you are disturbed, and 2) we should hang out. I was all about "Dance Fever"! My sister and I would dance around and have mock contests against the actual contestants. Sometimes I wore my superhero cape.

Lotus - Meme'ry, all alone in the moonlight, not a sound from the keyboard, blah blah blah blah

imaginary binky said...

Veronica - I fear it is true. I have bright yellow bike pants. I believe they were bought to accompany some royal blue gym shorts. I have no idea why.

Judy - Darn it. Alright.

Suzanne said...

Woohoo I wasn't tagged! The joys of anonymity. All these memes and I escape them. :)

Love the sock it to me career aspirations!

Stephen said...

I was tagged so you can read my answers here:

Kimberly said...

Funny! I knew a Rhett in college. He was pretty hot. And he knew it.

justmylife said...

I remember the solid gold dancers...I always wanted to be one, but God did not grace me with the ability to move without tripping over my own two feet. And I could find way more crap in my closet to get rid of!!!

imaginary binky said...

Suzanne - Just for saying that, you are now tagged. No exceptions. haha. Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me...

Stephen - I'm still not convinced that Shania Twain is a dream date. What about Courtney Love? At least you'd get some stories out of a night with her.

imaginary binky said...

Kimberly - Was your Rhett a Mormon? Mine was. Met him when he was 19 on his "mission" to save the world. He was quite a handsome scamp, but I didn't want to be Sister Wife # 5.

justmylife - I imagine that all around America, there were little girls prancing in their living rooms to the disco grooves as sung by Dionne Warwick. You should be dancing... YEAH! You should be dancing... YEAH!

Stephen said...

Courtney Love!!! Never. There would be good stories but I can't stand the woman.

imaginary binky said...

Stephen - Man, where is your sense of adventure?

Sarah Marie said...

I absolutely understand your consternation over the nickname "Sarie." Except my family spells it "Sari." Really only my mom and dad can get away with it. My brother calls me "Sar" sometimes. Haaaaate.
