1. The last thing you posted on Facebook is the first thing you must say in a speech in the UN, how screwed are you?
Probably ok. I don’t post to “The Book” very often but the last thing I posted was a clip of a speech by Justin Trudeau addressing the UN.
2. What is a classic “old person name”?
Well, “Roy” is a classic old person’s name that I am stuck going through life with. My grandpa’s first name was Merl. That is also a classic old person’s name.
3. What trait do you most resent your parents for passing onto you?
I am not the most aggressive, competitive fellow, like both of my parents.
4. What is the prettiest word in a foreign language?
Schadenfreude
5. The zombie apocalypse is breaking out and the only thing you have to defend yourself with is the last thing you purchased. What are you using to defend yourself?
A box of generic saline nasal rinse packets. Maybe it will take them down much like salt on a slug.
1) I comment on other people’s post occasionally. So I would start my UN speech would be, “Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full.” SO not that screwed.
2) Dick. My dad’s best friend, that I grew up around, was named Dick (short for Richard, of course). I never thought twice about it, even as throughout my life. But try and call some one Dick who goes by Richard or Rich, rage ensues.
3) The inability to be nice to people when they don’t deserve it. This lack of this trait has been a thorn in getting along with people for years.
4) Bonita or Amore.
5) Well I would say the right engine mount from my 2006 Honda Ridgeline pickup is heavy enough to crush the skull of any walker.
4)
1. Not terribly. “I am thinking of attending the Japandroids concert,” isn’t all that controversial.
2. Roy. And Trudy.
3. My mother passed on her passive aggressiveness, and my dad gave me a propensity for daydreaming. I’ve had to work hard to know how and when to use each of these tools.
4. Metzger. It’s German for “butcher.” Pretty.
5. A gyro sandwich. I’d be screwed.
1) “Yup, I’m still the new guy in Pensacola. Four fighter jets flew over on their way to the Naval Air Station, I stopped and hawked up at them. Everyone else in the parking lot didn’t even look up.” I think I could work this into some sort of patriotic speech about our military and the freedoms that they afford each and every one of us. So I am good with mine.
2) Earl.
3) From my dad allergies. Thanx Dad. Mom her weak stomach. Seasick, can’t eat spicy food etc. Thanx Mom!
4) Caliente
5) heart healthy vitamins. I am so screwed.
1. “You said it, friend.” I think I’m petty safe. The U.N. is all about friendship.
2. Gladys, enough said.
3. My urge to kill. Or that I’m way too practical at times.
4. I don’t know about beauty, but I do appreciate the literalness (is that a word?) of German. For example swimming goggles are die Unterwasserbrillen. Literal translation: under water glasses.
5. A tank of gas. I think we can do something with that.
