  1. I once owned a cat named Sex. I had a lot of fun yelling for him to come in.

  3. I got out of gym class once because I was stung by a lionfish, which I owned.
  4. I can imitate squirrel calls well enough to confuse the hell out of them.
  5. I have never touched a gun in my life.

I in turn tag, Minnie, Nikki, Britney, The Lung Brothers and Tara.

    I dare any of you to send this photo to the Department of Homeland Security telling them it’s an anonymous tip to a suspected Al Qaida sleeper cell. And who knows, maybe we’ll be seeing grainy versions of the same photo on airport walls all over the world. Then you can send them a message saying ‘Hey, NSA you been punk’d®!’.
    Oh, how they’ll laugh.

    Funny thing is the guy looks better this way. Its like the last resort for ugly people to walk outside.

    note that the link of the day is mildly disturbing even for someone of my calibre. i mean I never knew dave had a potty fetish !

    and the video… kinda lame…. unless you knew it was an african commercial and the amount of people who die of AIDS due to unprotected sex is so high… then it just becomes morbid.

    And you should really tape and publish this squirrle imitation of yours. the public demands it.

    You first, I promise I’ll have your back if anything goes wrong.

    I once shared a house with a bloke who had a dog named “Shithead” he named it after the Irish singer Sinead O’connor because that’s what he thought her name was.

    True or False?

    Thank you for not tagging me. Otherwise I would have been forced to talk about my breastimplants and all the kinky things I can do with chocolate.

     
  5. Stevie C, 4, January 2007, 6:04 |  

    Now that’s a tag dare if I ever heard one.

     
  6. Da Popster, 4, January 2007, 6:08 |  

    Todays post and links were kinda blah, however I’d like to enter into a deep conversation with Anna about the many kinky uses for chocolate. :wtf: :wang: :P

    Actually, it looks quite like The Edge. And on the same side of his body, about three feet below, you’ll find a similar depiction of Bono.

    I knew it was an African ad, and as a priest of an African faith, I am sadly all too familar with the AIDS epidemic there, but the ad was intended to be fun by the producers.

    As for the squirrel imitation video , that’s a damn good idea. :D

    5 things:
    1) My name is really Mitch. No “web moniker” here.
    2) I’m often referred to as “The only person left who isn’t an idiot that still smokes cigarettes” by my family
    3) I’ve been to the Middle East. It’s not nearly as frightening as it looks on TV.
    4) My ears are pierced
    5) I used to have a 7000 square foot loft space in Buffalo NY, that I ran as an after hours club and music venue. We even got busted once :oops:

     
  13. Mitch, 4, January 2007, 9:50 |

  17. evilmister, 4, January 2007, 11:15 |  

    um.
    1) i’ve been trying to get published for a number of years and got ‘kinda’ close early last year
    2)my hearing is retardedly powerful. i haven’t eaten dinner with my family for close to ten years because i can hear them chewing no matter what.
    3)i firmly believe people who like dark chocolate over milk have a better palate and a higher IQ than everyone else.
    4)i hate olives, pinto beans, lima beans and hippies. not necessarily in that order
    5)i am deeply offended that i have to work to pay bills that i neither want, nor need, but am expected to pay for simply by having been born.

    Wasn’t there something about ” if my dog was as ugly as you I’d shave his ass and make him walk backwards”. This guy obviously took it to heart.

    5 things nobody knows about me:

    1. I choose to be a smartass! It keeps me from ever being called a dumb ass
    2. I don’t cheat or steal even though I sell used cars. (I try to keep lying to a bare minimum too)
    3. I am an honorary Lesbian
    4. I’m too shy to hit on Mandy & Anna
    5. I still have plans for world domination. I just have to wait for the divorce to be final. Don’t want to lose half of the world in the settlement.

    - I drove 12,000 Kilometers. In a large rectangle shape across the country from Toronto, to Quebec then south to North Carolina (dipped my foot in the ocean), drove across the country to California (dipped my foot in the other ocean), and then drove to Vancouver (stayed for a while) and then drove back to Toronto. Diesel rules my world.

    - I camped in Joshua Tree National park for 1 Week and it was the coolest place I have ever been. Wolfs howl at the moon and Cacti in bloom. The B&W photo opportunities were amazing.

    - I am 36 and I still love Lego. They even have real robotic modules now.

    - I had two paisley shaped scars, one on each, leg below the knee from child hood accidents that have now vanished.

    - Contrary to popular belief my favorite alcoholic drink is Green tea with a shot of Rye (not a martini)
    And I don’t drink that much. But it is a good subject to joke about. (I want to know what others here drink)

    -We have a squirrel relocation cage and caught 32 of them in one season with chunky peanut butter (they love it). We dropped them in a park 15 km from here. (Much like the real Gromit.)

    I tag “Send In More Clowns” as he is far to quiet and clowns have had a bad rap here, and Megan.

    Pablo-#5: Ain’t it the truth? World domination is too much responsability for me though, I’d kill it like a forgotten giga/digi-pet. I’m only going for the Americas. :P

    evilmister-#3: I have my dose of dark chocolate daily, sometimes up to thrice daily. :kiss: There is no such thing as an overdoseand the experience is not always the same but always exceeds expectations! Ooh… :oops: , my humble opinion-it goes great with caramel.

    1-I’m a Mexican American (Immediate family from Mexico, born in USA) not Chicana! First language was spanish then learned english, not the other way around. Sorry, Pet peeve of mine… :roll: 2-Truly believe in karma so I try :D not to do stuff that can come back and f*** me over.
    3-I don’t like sugarcoating things, playing games, beating around the bush…and I have a hard time with not saying anything at all if I can’t say something nice. :twisted: But people think I’m sweet and innocent, :oops: go figure.
    4-What strikes others as fairly odd and out of the ordinary is that my divorce is not because of infidelity or violence. :!: 5-Been told I am slightly femenist, a light masochist, a sex addict (it’s a real disease), sadist (don’t know what that means), cynical, brutally blunt, but a true and loyal friend lucky to have… yeah…ok…um…thanx. :lol:

     
  27. Astryd, 4, January 2007, 13:34 |  

    Hah. Shoulda looked ahead.

    Don’t drink often but when I do I like: (in order of preference)
    - Vampiro/Chamuco (mexican version of Bloody Mary? with Tabasco sauce, lemon pepper, salt…) haven’t been able to find in US
    - Mudslide
    - Slippery Nipple
    - Pink Pussy (also known as a Stiff Dick but I like the looks when I order it)

    Reading over this…sounds kinda kinky…

    3. I am eerily intuitive.
    4. My chocoholic tendencies know no bounds: Once I banged on the closed doors of a chocolatier in NYC at 2 AM, fell on my knees and begged them to open so I could buy myself some “choc-fix.” The dishwashers who were working at the time found this endlessly amusing.
