Well then. Bravo on #46.

But you've truly never had pistachio ice cream? You must correct that.

BARBARA: You're a smartass Zombie, you know that?

LOL....No Labor Pains?? You don't know what you've missed...LOL

Wandering Coyote said...

What a great meme! I love it! #36 was hilarious! The Wasband had psoriasis, so I kinda know what it's like!

Wandering Coyote said...

My list is up!

stinkypaw said...

Loved #22 and I have a #48 even if I'm no sailor! Almost sounds like I'm ordering Chinese or something... Good list, or should I say "me"?

A meme is a self perpetualting idea - like a gene, only it doesn't necessarily require mating to continue. For example, a religion that says you must convert people and are not allowed to use contraception is likely to become more prevalent that one which practices celebracy and becoming a hermit.

So anything that says "pass this on to 15 other bloggers" is a meme.

Meanwhile, I think I once got perilously close to #34

I made an agreement with Kara to break rule 48 if I am still alive at age 80. Do you know, is one sedated for that procedure?

Tiffin said...

I think sex on top of the fridge is highly overrated (I'm afraid of heights too). This "me" rates high on the absurditron scale. I want to do one and I don't have a blog!

Man you are missing out on the pistachio ice cream. I mean really!

Anonymous said...

Google is a bastid today. But that's beside the point. You should try pistachio ice cream, really.

Mary Witzl said...

Everybody's right about pistachio ice cream, you know. But as for ringworm and labor pains, you're not missing out.

Barlinnie said...

#45 is a must Charlie, but #46 doesn't even bear thinking about.

Kevin Musgrove said...

Eating pistachio ice-cream whilst taking tuba lessons in a tattoo parlour. I could see Clark Gable doing that.

Peter S. said...

Hi, Charlie! LOL at the "just one beer" bit. I can't have just one too.

And why haven't you had pistachio ice cream? It's a wonderful flavor -- subtle but satisfying.

kara said...

i've never had pistachio ice cream either. i'm also curious as to who thought that pistachios would make good ice cream but not, say, walnut. seems wrong.

I tried to pick a favorite line, but I liked them all.
