Meme: When You've Got Nothing Else To Say

Yes, I know, memes are the lazy man's blog entry, but sometimes, you need a break from all that brain stuff. Here's a new one I found, Thursday Thumb-Twiddler. (A classic game for the activity-impaired)

1. If you could have the*original* of anything, what would you want? Would you keep it for yourself, or would you share it with others? I would want something that belonged to an ancestor of mine: letters, bibles, jewelry, something really old and important in my family history. I sound like the Chief of Nerds, but that's what I'd like. Leave me alone. Or, maybe the original trillion dollar bill. That would be nice, too.

2. If you could carve your name in stone anywhere, where would it be? If I say Stonehenge, everybody would just freak out, wouldn't you? "Oh, not Stonehenge, you monster! It's one of the Seven Wonders of the blah blah blah..." Like *Stonehenge is all that great. Harumph. Actually, I'd feel bad carving my name into something, that's just the way my momma raised me . The few times I've dared to carve my name on a desk, or the old bus-stop, I felt really guilty and paranoid about it, like the Graffiti Police were right on my tail. I have actually carved my name into the dirt cliffs up in Vicksburg - it stays for a long time if you do it right! And since it's just dirt, I think it's pretty harmless. But if I was FORCED to carve somewhere, I suppose the cliff of some ridiculously majestic waterfall would do. Don't ask how I'd get up there.

3. If you had a personal valet or maid who would perform one task for you each day, what would that task be? Would that be a good thing to have, or a bad thing? I would have them do the Laundry. Yes, that's a capital L. (You haven't seen this Laundry, it demands uppercase respect!) And yes, that would be a very, very good thing. No, wait, could they give foot massages? Scratch the laundry. I'll take the massage.

And now, if you, like me, having nothing better to say or do with your time, please feel free to twiddle your thumbs as well.
