There's nothing I can do here, Cachinnatees. I've been tagged by my bloggy friend Emma Sometimes. (Whose blog I highly recommend, by the way.) Anyway, I've been tagged and therefore I must submit to the blog law, or blawg as Fancypants will record it in her blogtionary on which she is working. I must complete a meme. I honestly have no idea what a meme is, nor how to correctly use the word, nor how to correctly pronounce the word. Normally, that kind of thing bothers me enough to do enough research to keep you all fooled into thinking that I know everything. For now though, I'm not bothered. I would rather you told me what a meme is. So feel free. Anywho, here we go:
1. Three things that scare me:
- The Burger King
- The thought that, at any given moment, I may be plagued with halitosis and nobody will tell me
- Identity Theft
2. Three people who make me laugh:
- My Mom (completely unintentionally)
- Kevin Federline (for all the wrong reasons)
- Conan O'Brien
3. Three things I hate the most:
- Bad grammar/Internet slang
- Wire Hangers!
- When people say that you can't make absolute statements about truth or faith, thus making an absolute statement about truth and faith
4. Three things I don't understand:
- Mandarin
- How people can live their lives as if they were an idiot on "The Real World" and then wonder why those lives suck
- The Evangelical Christian subculture
5. Three things I'm doing right now:
- Watching 24
- Trying not to bother Bert and Ernie, my doggies, so they can get their requisite 18 hours of sleep per day
- Retyping this meme after a small user error caused half my work to be lost... grrr...
6. Three things I want to do before I die:
- Eat a perfect meal
- Have an Elementary School named after me
- Set a world record... any world record
7. Three things I can do:
- Touch my tonsils without gagging
- Fit over half my foot in my mouth (both literally and figuratively)
- Speak 3 languages fluently, converse in another 2, and read another 2
8. Three ways to describe my personality:
- Mellifluous
- Undulating
- Rhapsodic
9. Three things I can't do:
- Trust a politician
- Turn orange at will
- Gleek on purpose
10. Three things I think you should listen to:
- Noises that don't sound right under your hood
- Every word I say... about everything... always...
- Your woman's intuition. Unless you're a man. Then you should listen to her woman's intuition whoever she may be. Trust me on this one.
11. Three things you should never listen to:
- A politician
- Music by anyone named Fergie, K-Fed, or Sean Paul - all three are responsible for some of the most pathetic vomit to come out of the music industry's pooper in quite some time
- Anyone who claims to know everything
12. Three things I'd like to learn:
- How to pick locks
- How to cook gourmet meals
- Arabic
13. Three favorite foods:
- Grilled shrimp
- Kibbe w/Warak Duali
- Cheetos
14. Three beverages I drink regularly:
- Dr. Pepper
- Water
- Koolade
15. Three shows I watched as a kid:
- The Transformers
- The Incredible Hulk
- The Muppet Show
16. Three people I'm tagging (to do this):

"When people say that you can't make absolute statements about truth or faith, thus making an absolute statement about truth and faith." ABSOLUTELY!

Seriously?? Can't you even spell?? it's KOOL-AID!!! KOOL-AID!!! Not Koolade....damn dude you're a discrace to children everywhere
Posted on 9/04/2006
Seriously, "Koolade" made me wonder if there was a new beverage out. Sheesh.
This is my first visit to The Cachinnator, but anyone who can (with a straight face) list both C.S. Lewis and David Sedaris as favorite authors earns my respect. ;-)
Going to buy a shredder...

Boscoe--you're one to correct spelling? Disgrace is spelled with a G.

I was wondering if anyone would notice the 'koolade.' Rest easy, folks, I'm not slipping here. I spelled it that way intentionally because the beverage to which I'm referring is actually a generic Crystal Light-esque fruit punch stuff. But here at the Bakery, if it's abnormally red, wet, and gets poured from the big green pitcher, then it's koolade. I would never intentionally slur the great name of Kool-Ade; in fact, I believe I was showing great respect for the name.
Gwynne, welcome! I do very few things with a straight face, but I do love both Lewis and Sedaris. You get that shredder... and say your prayers...

And Boscoe... if you're going to be giving spelling lessons, you might stick to blogs on which you have a spelling or grammatical leg up. Are there any challenged foreign-born 2-year olds with blogs?

yes, i apologize for the typo...my fingers sometimes don't work properly. Still i am ashamed that Cach is disgracing fun drinks everywhere...the next thing you know he's going to badmouth Pabst Blue Ribbon!!

NO MORE WIRE HANGERS!! HAHAHA!
Yeah, that BK guy is almost as scary as the Quaker Oats guy that hums his little tune while motionless and holding a bowl of steamy goodness.
Okay, email me about your template.(email on my profile) I'll see what I can do...and intro you to photohosting sites that you might like. :o)

bastardo!
Heeey. I watched the Hulk religiously! I always got so sad at the end when he had to leave whatever town he destroyed. I can still hear the piano music and see him walking away. sniff sniff.

You hate Burger King??? I thought you were Burger King!

Yeah, Kat, it's always nice to be asked by someone else to talk about yourself. It's the perfect excuse.
I speak English, French, and 'speak' American Sign Language. I've been an interpreter in all three. I can get around with Italian and Spanish. I read Hebrew and Greek. I also have a middling introduction in German, but only enough to order in a restaurant. It's sort of a sick competition in my family. I should blog about it sometime. Within just my father's immediate family, we speak English, French, Spanish, Hebrew, Arabic, German, Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin), and ASL. Those are just the ones we do fluently. It's one of our weird things.

Wikipedia has a good definition for "MEME". I had to do research too.
Oh, and I can't gleek either! Ugh! Sixth grade would have been so much cooler if I could have gleeked back at those icky boys who thought it was cool to salivate in my general direction.
