To blog, perchance to meme

Posted by pete at February 14, 2006 10:52 PM

Tagged!

There's a meme running through the blogosphere of tagging people to get the "list of fours"...

Yes, yes. Onward.

Four jobs I've had
Pizza delivery guy (Double Dave's)
Intramural softball umpire
Newspaper wire editor
7-11 register jockey - graveyard shift

Four concerts that I've never seen but would like to (past or present):
Bill Hicks - Rant in E Minor tour
Queen - Wembley Stadium, 1985
Slobberbone - farewell show at Dan's Bar
The 1987 John Lee Hooker show I begged off of because I had a fucking test the next day. That would be the one where the Edge and Stevie Ray Vaughan were hanging out at the bar afterwards.

I'll probably think of a hundred more tomorrow

Four people I'd like to meet
Shit, I have no clue...uh...
H.L. Mencken
Hunter S. Thompson
Warren Zevon
Alan Moore

They don't all have to be alive, right?

Four movies that I have memorized:
Only four?
Casablanca
Jaws
Star Wars IV and V
Animal House
Flash Gordon
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Ghostbusters
Big Trouble in Little China
Aliens

Enough already.

Four sites I go to everyday:
Film Threat
MetaFilter
The Internet Movie Database
BBC News

Four TV shows that were cancelled because I liked them:
Freaks and Geeks
Firefly
Mr. Show with Bob and David
The Tick

Four places I want to visit before I die:
Australia
Macchu Picchu
New York City
Monica Bellucci

Four people I'm now tagging:
I hate doing this, but...
Fuzzball - because she needs the distraction
HWRNMNBSOL - because he doesn't blog enough
Norb - because he hates this crap
Don - because he'll be hilariously full of shit, as always

Seacrest Vonder Haar out.

I just know what a sociable guy you and are and figured you would love participating in this.

I don't do blog memes, but I'll try to blog more in general.

Your mind games won't work on me, old man, because laziness overrides hate.

Was the John Lee Hooker show at the old Antone's location on Guadalupe?

I don't do blog memes

I remember when you used to be cool.

Was the John Lee Hooker show at the old Antone's location on Guadalupe?

Yup.

APCB, where blog memes go to die.

Let's recap some random words from Don's list:

Nanny
Say Anything
Twin Peaks
Northern Exposure
Six Feet Under
France


Holy shit.

You may be the girliest person Pete knows...and that includes the Wife and all her galpals; hell, even his infant toddler daughter is more butch.

So, you know what this means, don't you?

"Hey, Don...'sup. Whatcha wearin'? And what's your sign...?"

Should I feel bad that TTTWLAM has never hit on me?

--Posted by blurker gone bad on February 15, 2006 4:54 PM

Hey, Blurker GB:

Are you a chick?

If not, are you at least one from the waist up?

And if not, are you amenable to breast implants?

And if not, can you at least look good in a dress and some eyeshadow?

Love (If You're Lucky),
TTTWLAM

I'm fully at ease with my girlish tendencies....including my winnie the pooh sweatshirt and the way I squeal when I see a mouse.

4 Things Meme
I've seen this meme wander around the blogosphere [APCB, Pixy Misa, Rocket Jones] and have been thinking about doing it. However, now that I've been tagged, I guess I will. 4 jobs I’ve had: Cray Supercomputer operator, assistant statistician, student......
