Stealing ideas once again
Posted 9 December, 2006 in randomness
… from Mighty Girl.
What I think of first when I think of you:
Alex once was given 24 hours to locate and obtain a taxidermied dog with poseable limbs.
Andy is Budgie’s number one fan.
Brigitte hearts David Duchovny.
Chloe rocks the horizontal stripes.
Chris has a tiny dark spot on his cheekbone from face-planting on gravel when he was a kid.
Debbie played the Royal Albert Hall.
Eileen often stayed positive through unpleasant experiences by stating that they were, at least, “better than a kick up the bum.”
Franc likes to dance, and eat sunglasses.
Gail has the best laugh, and her nails always look good too.
Gunnar doesn’t know how to use his inside voice.
Jim plays Boggle at five times the speed of a normal human being.
Jocelyn and I once tied a carrot to a stick and put it down a gopher hole to try and make the gopher come out. We were 20 at the time.
Kathryn likes to get her hurr did on Fridays so it looks fly for the weekend.
Laura collects pictures of clowns.
Leticia likes lotions that smell like dessert.
Liz misses her sisters.
Lorrie’s IM name used to be Shiny Stompin’ Angel.
Martin would like to be a robot. Or a Sikh.
Martina can smell sneezes.
Matt hates Yoda.
Another Matt hates Paris Hilton. Like, really hates her. You can’t talk about her around him without making him very angry.
Mel married us.
Neil invented the fictional couple named the Peach Melbasons.
Norbert likes to sit on paper.
Oliver once told me that birds have little pointy ears, like cats.
Polly’s dog has naturally crimped ear hair.
Sandy prefers Axl to Slash.
Suji used to use this leave-in conditioner that smelled like steak au poivre, in a good way.
Tony sometimes stands in doorways with a paper bag on his head, pulled down to just below his hairline, and then he jumps so that the top of the bag hits the doorframe and crumples.
Another Tony used to lift up his little brother and sister, one on each arm, every day, because Milo of Kroton, a legendary Greek athlete, was said to have gained his strength by lifting a calf onto his shoulders every day until it became a fully grown bull.
Vanessa and I call each other Pigmy.

Kate says, “Oh my god, yeah” in a way that is totally endearing and totally unique.

I feel like you have somehow distilled my essence down to it’s purest form! And reminded me to hide my new sunglasses from Franc! Also, where the hell did Ol learn ornithology? He told us that some hummingbirds don’t have feet.

Yea, and it was that my brother was 4 years older than my sister; and so it came to pass that, forgetting to alternate, my right arm became 25% thicker than my left…damn …at least my wife played the Royal Albert Hall… :@)

From the site www. hummingbirds.net.
“Some other amusing misconceptions with no basis in fact:Hummingbirds are a cross between a bird and an insect (from an early Spanish report to Queen Isabella)
Hummingbirds don’t have feet (all birds have feet; hummers don’t use theirs to walk, though)
Hummingbirds never land (I once had two perched on my finger at the same time)”
