The weird (and probably) pass� meme
I’ve only just spotted that both United Irelander and Mish tagged me with this ‘weird habits’ meme. I’ve never really thought about my idiosyncracies so here’s how it works:
The first player of this game starts with the topic �five weird habits of yourself,� and people who get tagged need to write an entry about their five weird habits as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next five people to be tagged and link to their web journals. Don�t forget to leave a comment in their blog or journal that says �You are tagged� (assuming they take comments) and tell them to read yours.
Here goes:
1)
I have a habit of making compilation MP3 mix CDs to listen to in the car and then end up skipping to the same handful of songs and listening to them over and over again. (Current track I keep playing is LCD Soundsystem’s ‘Losing My Edge’)
2)
I love peanut butter but will not under any circumstances tolerate smooth peanut butter. What’s the point? The crunchy variety is the only way to eat it. End of story.
3)
I talk to my dog Disco Fred as if he was a little person. In the course of these interactions, he has built up a number of monikers and has been variously called ‘The Bossman’, ‘The Fat Lad’, ‘Snoozy Snoozerson’, ‘Me Little Pal’, ‘Fredser’, ‘Monkey Man’ and my favourite, ‘Hairy Houdini’, after he squeezed through a tiny gap in the car window and ran up and down the main street in Roundwood looking for us.
4)
I refuse to watch individual episodes of long-running TV series unless I’ve seen it right from the start. So I have never seen 24 or The Sopranos sadly. (I’ll wait til they finish and blag the boxsets off someone).
5)
I ponder the mystery that is Twenty Major a lot and don’t believe for a minute that he has an imposter.
Five victims to pass it on to:
I’m gonna cheat and pick the all bloggers who meet up last night who haven’t been memed already:
That Girl at Thinking Out Loud
Colm of In Fact, Ah
John at Earth and Universe
Claire at Ginger Pixel
Dick from Back Seat Drivers
and not forgetting the newly unmasked Twenty Major

ooops. Word Press seems to have chopped off the ‘meme’ part of the post title.

What a total cunt of an idea.

“What a total cunt of an idea.”
Hey look! It’s Twenty Major’s imposter!

Well, ehem…. one must of course and indeed utterly condemn the language used by Mssr J5. It is most unsuitable.
Nevertheless, on mature reflection there is perhaps, on balance, a prima facia case for some degree of debate on the merits and validity of the core sentiments behind the pithy remark. From a personal perspective, taking all aspects of the situation into consideration and not wishing to cause any offence to the board of directors of Sigla it would be my inclination to give reserved provisional support to the said core sentiment. Hence it would be my request, with great regret, to have my candidature withdrawn from the list.
Yours etc…

I talk to my dog as though he is a person too, well, whenever I’m in Sligo I do. At the moment he is learning key phrases in Chinese, okay, mainly bi zui (shut up).
He also has a variety of names: Shady, the mutt, destructo-dog, dogfrey, pup, brat… I could do on.

I’ll probably get round to this tomorrow Sinead.
And Johnny5, get your own swearword. Mimicking Twenty will get you nowhere.

John, your post of 12.40am leads me to include you’ve been at the sherry.

LOL. Close Sinead, it was a nice Hennessy!
