I use to like Margaret Cho--until I saw here latest DVD. I won't go see her anymore-she has lost it!
: )
I am a Gunsmoke-watcher and Eddie lover too. Well, a younger Eddie. He has gone over the edge in recent years....
If I were made mayor of a town, I'd outlaw all forms of chocolate other than dark chocolate.
I need to reread the post. Do you want to learn about French pastries or pasties? Because I can totally teach you about one of them.
Nice list! I remember listening to Eddie's album at my friends house! I totally identified with the homemade hamburger bit. He made me laugh and laugh!
ah, heartinsanfran, forgive me, but i don't do memes, it's just not my thing! mango is my favourite word, i also like to eat them, but you need a constant supply of dental floss . . . btw, i too would have had murderous feelings towards the noisy party people in your last post.
Sure, I'll do it... it'll take me a little while, but, hey, why not.
Can I tag you with Mark Leslie's Christmas lyric meme, then? It could be a meme swap. ;)

Starbender,
I haven't seen it, but that's believable. Thanks for the heads up, and your visit.
Christina,
True. I hated The Nutty Professor. Maybe he and Margaret Cho have a pact.
Furious,
I'll vote for you. Milk chocolate does nothing for me, and white chocolate is absurd.
Mist,
I didn't know you baked.
I took belly dancing lessons a long time ago, and favored pasties with tassels. I wasn't very good at it because I had no belly.
Olives,
My favorite of his routines is the one about his mother's high-heeled shoe that whizzes around corners into his room and nails him every time he masturbates.
Nmj,
It's perfectly all right. Not everyone enjoys regressing to junior high school and listing factoids about themselves. Perhaps trading cards was your thing.
Velvet,
So the verse I dashed off in your comments doesn't count?
Fair is fair. You have a deal.
Very interesting. I did reply to the meme because I know it is difficult for me to do so. My thinking is so tangential that a questionairre like that forces me to stay focused for more than 5 nanoseconds. LOL...
Peace,
~Chani
I admire you. I've never been able to force a narcissist to do anything. You'll have to teach a class on that.
Chani,
Glad I could help.
You did a fabulous job! If I didn't already like you, reading it would be a decisive factor.
Claudia,
First, you put up a mirror.
Great list, heart, thanks so much for sharing...btw, do you use that spiney mullusk thingy as a weapon????
Peace
Odat,
No. I have two among my vast collection of shells. They are fragile and I love them.
It would have to be a real life-or-death situation to call them into play as weapons of defense. Or offense. They WOULD make pretty good one-time use throwing stars, now that you mention it.
Who ever over charged you would have known better if he/she had been reading your blog
7th Sis,
No kidding. I'm tough, huh?
After all my girding of loins, they weren't there. Now I have to psych myself up all over again tomorrow.
It isn't easy being tough.
Number twelve is my favorite. :)
Kerrianne,
I especially like the self-doubt part.
Thank you for coming by! Your blog is fun and very pretty.
Thanks for being such a good sport. The spiny mollusk looks cool as hell.
I wish I could fake affection. I really can't do it at all.
Tag me! Tag me!
Crankster,
I didn't think so. I like that in a person.
d~,
Welcome back, stranger.
Of course you're tagged. Please do either or both of these memes.
heyyyy STAR
u here too?
Psssttt
watch out for STAR
she is les
Saby,
Can't we all play nicely together?
Gunsmoke!?!?!
I used to watch that with my dad every week. It was 'our' show. I friggin' love it still.
Mudge,
Me, too! Matt Dillon was really cute, and I wanted to be Miss Kitty when I grew up. She was totally cool, even if she was a hooker.
I checked myself in the bathroom mirror regularly for signs that I was beginning to look like her. (I never found any.)
I love LUCY... and always will! Oh and Little House on the Prarie too... Eddie Murphy is hysterical I love Robin Williams just because he's nuts! chai (MMMM...))) ~M
My heart,
Come on over. We'll rent some DVD's and watch old shows.
Do you like your popcorn buttered or plain?
