    40 Stolen Items

     
    Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.
    ~Howard Aiken
     
    The challenge for us is, how do we keep our show intact without stealing from other shows and without being influenced by other shows?

    “Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirates Life For ME”

    ~ Captain Kalli
     

    40 stolen items
     
    Boy, I love being a pirate. I lifted this from Gord who borrowed it from Vallerie (Hey, I may be a thieving pirate, but I also believe in giving credit where credit is due); I may actually run into these people one day and may not have my glasses on to protect me). Also my apologies to Gord for swiping and then augmenting his answer to #26, it’s the only answer I would have honestly given myself.
     
     
    1) What side of the heart do you draw first?  The inner connecting part between the two halves
     
    2) Can you dive without plugging your nose?  Yes
     
    3) What color is your razor?  Let me see; “HON, WHAT COLOR IS MY RAZOR”
     
    4) What is your blood-type?  RED AND VERY HOT. Actually I can never remember that answer and if I ask my wife one more time, I know that she will shed it to show me.
     
    5) Who would you want to be tied to for 24 hours?  The same person I’ve been tied to for 24 years
     
    7) How do you feel about carrots?  Love them in the raw or all dressed up.
     
    8) How many chairs at the dining room table?  6; 4 for the family and 2 more just in case
     
    9) Which is the best Spice Girl? Actually I’m a guy, but I’ve found that the best spice is life
     
    10) Do you know what time it is?  Actually, I was asked this question just last night by a very nasty person of whose question I could not repeatably  answer, and then finally asked me this very question in a final jab to belittle me. So my answer here as it was to this nasty ass is ‘Yes; it’s time for you to go F yourself’
     
    12) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator?  Pray that I did not have to go to the bathroom anytime soon
     
    13) What's your favorite kind of gum?  Eclipse; the kind that burns your sinuses out.
     
    14) T or F: All's fair in love and war?  Is either one ever fair?
     
    15) Do you have a crush on anyone?  Every waking moment
     
    16) Do you use words that you don't know the meaning to?  I’ve been using my brothers’ new word ‘Baggywinkle’ a lot, but not by it’s true meaning.
     
    17) Do you like to sleep?  My second greatest love affair.
     
    18) Do you know which US states don't use Daylight Savings?  The smart ones
     
    19) Do you know the song Total Eclipse of the Heart?  Constantly reminds me of how fortunate I am (But I have always loved the song)
     
    20) Do you want a bright yellow '06 mustang? YES; the way all my cars have been running lately, I would take a go-cart at this point
     
    21) What's something you've always wanted?  To be the life of the party instead of the quiet dude in the corner.
     
    22) Do you have hairy legs? The kind to make a European chick proud!
     
    23) What does "Semper Fidelis" stand for? ‘If you experience an erection that lasts more than 4 hours, seek medical advice.’ *
     
    24) Would you rather swim in the ocean or a lake? I equally love and hate both. I hate not seeing what dwells below me.
     
    25) Do you wear a lot of black? No, but I am partial to dark colors.
     
    26) Describe your hair? Still there, just more grayer than it used to be (a gift from my children).
     
    27) Do you have Entomophobia?  Only when I eat red cabbage
     
    28) Are you an adult? That depends on who you ask
     
    29) Who is/are your best friend(s)? I have 2; The first and primary is my wife who is entwined with my soul, The other is a guy who I’ve known since the 4th grade who can read me form the outside.
     
    30) Do you have a tan? It is the great bane of my wife (who never tans), that I have tan lines that remain all through the winter (it’s that Hot Latin Blood)
     
    31) Are you a television addict? Classic Movies and Scifi and that’s it. Oh and also documentaries and history channel and that’s it. And well Science Frontier and Comedy Channel and that’s it. The Weather Channel and local community programming and that’s it. But sometimes (every other day or so) there is the cooking channel and HGTV but that it is as far as it goes. I totally draw the line at Shopping Channels, The Spice Channel and of course Court TV (which is a bad as watching German Soap Operas)
     
    32) Do you enjoy spending time with your mother? Yes, But I have been a very very bad son when it comes to this.
     
    33) Are you a sugar freak? Not really (unless it comes in the form of a cookie)
     
    34) Do you like orange juice?  Nothing better for you! But lately I only get the small shakings at the bottom of the empty container, which my 17 year old son has graciously left me (little bastard)
     
    35) What sign are you? Gemini. No you are! I said stop that. MAKE ME.
     
    36) Where do you wish you were right now?  Scotland (as long as my wife is with me, it could be anywhere), but ALWAYS Scotland!
     
    37) Who did you copy this from? I didn’t copy it from anyone. I STOLE IT (PIRATES PRIVLEDGE)
     
    38) How do you know them? The Bloginet
     
    39) Have you kissed anyone in the past week? My wife’s lips (Romantically) and my bosses ass (professionally)
     
    40) What are your plans for the weekend? Insert song ‘Oh Yeah’ By Yello here for answer.
     
     

     

    *This is the clown in me speaking only, but this was an actual answer that I gave to a Marine who asked me if I knew what ‘Semper Fidelis’  meant, a person who never let a moment go by without letting us know that he was a marine and the rest of us owed him for everything we enjoy. Boy did he want to kill me.

    But I gave a big hug to another person (who I did not know personally), who was a Marine and has a son currently in the Marines, But never said a word about it. For such as these who, by command or by will, fight for country and family and who never throw the spotlight on themselves, I thank you for the safety of my family and friends and of those others who you have never met, but put your life on the line for.

    You have my unyielding prayers and undying gratitude.
