A really big city? You mean like... Olathe?

1. I make mental lists of songs written and originally performed in a particular key. Key of G = Wild horses, Proud Mary, Wish You Were Here, and Freebird.

2.I had a 65 Mustang convertible, I bought it for a hundred bucks, and sold it for 75 a few years later. People were telling me it would be a classic someday. Whatever.

3. I have sampled microbrews from across the country and still favor Budweiser.

4. My wife is foreign (Canadian, but still) and I think that is hot. She speaks no French, but still.

5. I struggle with people who don't concede the cultural supremacy of Led Zeppelin.

6.Sometimes national franchises have better food. Pizza hut thin and crispy cheese pizza is the best.

7. I am amused by people who assume superiority over others by virtue of what they don't do. It makes me feel superior because I don't do that.

8. I quit smoking 2 1/2 years ago, and now reading makes me nervous.

Lil' bigger than Olathe. Someplace big enough to have its own NBA, NFL or MLB franchise ... and, since I've lived all but a few months of my life in Kansas, I'd like it to be somewhere outside the Big 12 region.

Seattle, say, or Portland or San Fran. Or New York or Boston. Or Toronto. Those are my top 6.

Dotdot: Love your list.

1. I, like Mr. Mathis, have a fondness for the Pacific Northwest, Portland in particular. I've never actually been, but I think it would be cool to live there.

2. Chances are that I hate your favorite band. Except thetom's, because Led Zeppelin rules!

3. I constantly worry about my health, yet I continue to subsist largely on Wendy's hamburgers and coffee.

4. I love scotch. Scotch, scotch, scotch...

5. I hate that I really like to watch TV.

6. I'm not very good at lawn maintenence.

7. My cat is possessed. By a dog.

8. My car was totalled six months ago, yet I still drive it daily.

Cr@p, sometimes you suck Dotdot! I typically prefer to observe the blogs and not post, but here goes....

1. I have had a plethora of jobs including babysitting, waitressing, rental property management, telemarketing, organizing shipments and delivery of products for a global company, and wash,dry fold attendent. Yes, I used to wash people's dirty laundry for a living, including our very own Joel Mathis' from time to time!

2. Due to number 1. I now refer to the amount of laundry I do in terms of pounds instead of loads. This is simply to impress my hubby as saying I washed 100 pounds of laundry is much more heroic than saying I did 3 or 4 loads.

3. My husband and I met online, dated for 9 months, got married, lived the married life for 9 months and got pregnant, we are now expecting baby at the beginning of September. Our next goal is purchasing a home....we'll see if the whole 9 month schedule we've been on holds up!

4. I take it upon myself to teach the younger people I work with about bands such as BOA, The Who, Jackyl, Waylon & Shooter Jennings, Jessie Coulter, GnR, DAC, Arlo Guthrie, Mojo Nixon, Black Sabbath (both Ozzy & Dio eras), Dio, and many others who are great artists in their own right but tend to be pushed aside, given little credit, given attention for only select songs/albums, etc. And of course I force them to listen to said music on vinyl.

5. I was an incredibly mean big sister who constantly framed my brother for stuff I did....like writing his name on the wall in his bedroom. My parents didn't realize a lot of the stuff they thought he did was actually me until a few years ago!

6. I loath people who try to name drop or use the line 'do you know who I am'. Those are the people who really don't know anyone/thing worthwhile so I try not to waste my time with them.

7. When I was little I believed EVERYTHING my family told me, whether it was the truth or not. Including that there were invisible man-eating flies by my grandpa's pond that would eat me alive and could fly faster then I could run. (This was told I think to keep me from going down to the pond by myself....dangers such as snakes, snapping turtles, etc I 'm sure were the reason)
Thanks Aunt Mary and Becky, I still freak out anytime a bug lands on me.

8. I shoot guns to relieve stress. When I get upset, my husband has been known to hand me a gun and tell me to go shoot it. It's not the ability to be destructive with something, it's the amount of concentration you have to put into it. All my energies go into hitting what I'm aiming at, and I am able to re-center myself and my thoughts.

This turned out waaaay longer than I meant it to, sorry!

Dude, I feel so tagged. And since I can't follow directions, I'll have to comment while I'm here:

1. I was born on my parent's first anniversary, while my dad was in Viet Nam.

2. I am learning Latin so I can translate one specific document.

3. There are 6 kids living in my home presently, only 2 of whom were born to my wife or I.

4. Captain Morgan and Coke, please.

5. Two decades ago I got the degree I needed, now I'm working on the one I always wanted - and, no, I don't want to be a history teacher when I grow up.

6. I work for the government in an organization that, were it up to me, I would privatize.

7. I won the Lake Superior Conference sophomore -CC-> championship in 1982.

8. As a baby I never crawled.

Wow. I'm a little embarrassed.

During my bachelor days, when living in apartments that did not have in-apartment washers-and-dryers, I would take my laundry to be done by others. It was a bit pricey (usually around $30 every couple of weeks) but I really *hate* doing laundry, and hated going to laundromats even more. Sometimes, though, I was overwhelmed by guilt at letting other people sort through my dirty underwear.

But now I'm trying to remember who you must be, lilchick. Which place did you work?

Posted by lilchick (anonymous) on June 27, 2007 at 1:46 p.m. (Suggest removal)

Joel,
My intent was NOT to embrass you. Sorry....if it helps, I also hate doing laundry, go figure, and after leaving there would drop off my own laundry to be taken care of.
The mat at 24th & Iowa is where I was a washerwoman, you also did a story on my all girls rifle team going to nationals.
Figure it out yet?????

DonQ, BOA is more southern rock than country.....and I must give credit where credit is due. My husband has helped to refine my tastes in music, but I'm no where near the music and equipment snob that he is!

I recommend listening to Elvis is Everywhere, Tie My P#cker to My Leg, Debbie Gibson's Pregnant (the video stars Winona Rider!), & Don Henley Must Die (Don himself actually got on stage and sang this one with him onstage once!) to start.

If you have the opportunity to listen to his radio shows on Sirius I reccomend 'Lyin' Cocksuckers', a polictal talkshow where he blasts everyone regardless of their party. He also has a show on the NASCAR channel 'Manifold of Destiny' and a daily show on Outlaw Country. His rants are priceless.

2. I spent three weeks in Miami working for the 2001-2002 Volvo Ocean Race.

3. I got a Facebook account primarily to keep an eye on my son and his friends. (They're good kids, I'm just nosey. They actually asked ME to be on their friends lists)

4. My mother wore army boots. Well, technically- Marine boots as she and my dad were both Marine officers.

5. At one point in my life I spoke fluent French.

6. I can (I think still...) play 4 musical instruments.

7. I've never been to Mexico.

8. The grey stripe in my hair is natural- not dyed.

>>> 'Kay,,,,I tag Misty, Dazie & DonQ <<<

Um, okay.

I am a huge fan of Henry Rollins and have read several of his books.

When I was 7 or 8, upset that I couldn't get a nail to come out of a board, I laid it on the ground, point up and stomped on it in frustration. The nail went almost entirely through my foot, and my grandfather, panicked, first tried getting my foot out of my shoe before removing the nail. Wacky. You know, I think I learned something that day.

While still in school, I lived in Topeka for a year and in that time had my car broken into, someone attempt to break into my apartment (while I was home), a rape victim borrow my phone in the middle of the night, and in an unrelated incident, someone on my block was fatally shot. And I didn't even live in the "bad, bad" part of Topeka. When I rail on Topeka, I do so with authority. It was after that I decided to settle down in Lawrence.

I once paged in the House of Representatives for Walker Hendrix.

Clowns make me really uncomfortable. I blame a) It, b) Poltergeist and c) John Wayne Gacy.

I quit smoking a little over a year ago, and have gone from hating the smoking ban to vehemently supporting it in restaurants, though I still contend that it should be allowed in bars, clubs, and pool halls.

Richie Havens fascinates me. I have never before or since seen a man make that much music doing that little with a guitar.

I haven't purchased a single CD since the RIAA started suing people.

kk, I'm going to be lazy and tag the next 3 readers who haven't given 8 yet...

Joel - Chicks dig scars.

1. I hate hippies - sorry but they're annoying.

2. Love Quentin Tarantino movies (well most of them)

3. Mmm, mmm, mmmm . . . Corona with a bunch of lime (also rum and coke - viva Cuba libre!)

4. I am more than a little miffed that you can be a mediocre or bad attorney or doctor and still make a decent living but not so if you're in the arts!

5. Love the flint hills.

6. Find beauty in the small everyday things of life.

7. T.V. is not the enemy anymore than crappy books or websites. You can waste your life on your drug of choice.

8. Question authority even if it's something you believe in.

9. (bonus) I am happier in those moments when I manage to put my opinions down!

Ooh, I got tagged! I feel special. Here goes:

1. I turned 29 today, and instead of getting to go out and play, I stayed home with the sick baby and got a fever my own damn self.

2. I stalk MySpace spammers and attempt, via messaging, to make them lose sleep by planting disturbing images, usually involving birth and rodentia, into their heads. What, I stay home all day.

3. When I was in kindergarten, my class was instructed to ask our family members if we had any Native Americans in our family tree. On Monday I stood before the class, and related with the same solemnity that my grandma had told me, that my family descended from the Noewypee Tribe of Arkansas.

4. From the ages of 13 to 22, I shaved the tops of my big toes.

5. If someone is having problems with drugs or mental illness, I'll bend over backwards to help them get better, even if I know there's a 99.9% probability that they're pulling an attention-getting ploy, even if they're assholes I don't like that much.

6. My first and only babysitting job ended with me calling SRS on the people who hired me.

7. My colon recently decided the neighborhood needed gentrification, so it grew a cul-de-sac. I've named it, and if they cut it out, I'm keeping it in a jar.

8. I secretly hope that the cyst growing on my right ovary is one of those really weird ones that have teeth and hair in them when they finally cut them open.

1. I have helped castrate more than 25 cows in a single day.

2. I moved to Lawrence because if this town can spawn Paw, it can't be too bad.

3. When I was 3 I pooped my pants on a hot bleacher, which resulted in a poop waterfall.

4. In one 12-hour span, I was in jail, read scripture at a church and won a golf tournament.

5. When I'm the president: rapists and dead-beat dads will be castrated and every citizen will read "The Last American Man."

6. While a sophomore in high school I sold Eddie Vedder a coke and peanut M&Ms.

7. Seeing people smoke cigarettes makes me want to punch them in the neck.

8. The days I post comments on l.com, I feel like I've let myself down.

Misty let me know Dazie tagged me - thanks I guess....

Eight random things about myself....

1. I was born in New Mexico, because my father was in the air force at the time and was stationed at Sandia.

2. I am extremely near-sighted (20/2000) to the point my eye doctor has warned me to never attempt surgery to correct my vision.

3. My undergraduate degree was in Fine Arts, emphasis on water colors. Now, the only thing I paint is silk scarves.

4. When I was young, my little sister (who is stronger, still, then I'll ever be) would threaten to beat me up when we fought, so I'd run to the only room in our home that locked (the bathroom) and hide, with my finger on the door-locking botton so she couldn't use the knife to open it. I wonder if the people who bought the home from my parents ever wondered why that door knob had so many scratches on and around it. . .

5. I once taught Children's Theater (to 3-5 year olds). The kids were great. The parents I did not like so much (and the feeling was mutual).

6. I went to an all-girls high school.

7. One of my favorite things to do is laugh, but I don't like mean humor.

8. I think intelligence and honesty are a whole lot sexier then a good body and cute face. And I have always believed that.

1) For nostalgia sake I guess, as a fairly newborn, my parent took a picture of me in front of a picture of JFK taken the day he was killed.

2) At age 9, in an attempt to intimidate me police handcuffed me and put me in a police car and drove me around for what seemed like forever because they did not believed I lived where I said I did.

3) Also at age 9 a group of friends of mine planned and executed a bus trip from the Oakland Hills and Sausalito in Marin County, my parents did not find this out until well after I left home.

4) I set a school record for the mile run and what was the 880 in Junior High and high school, the high school record just recently fell a couple of years ago.

5) I was a bat boy for the Oakland A’s, played baseball against Stanley Burrell AKA M.C. Hammer and Jack Del Rio coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
I thought at the time Del Rio was the best (peer) athlete I had ever seen or competed against.

6) I was told by my Air Force recruiter that, “the Air Force is one big 4 year party with training thrown in” He was 90 percent correct. My career and experience was from the Air Force, and I did party quite a bit.

7) I’m a grandpa and proud of it.

8) I have the best and most perfect wife for me I can imagine. I am thankful!

1) My first inclination to answer this tag was to type the first eight things listed in the Violent Femme's Kiss Off, but instead I will start with this: I secretly fear I will always feel this unhappy, bored, boring, dumb and creepy. So I pretend to be bubbly and funny. People seem to buy this hook line and sinker.

2) I regularly fall asleep at the wheel on the way home from work. I have to stop and nap on the way home.

3) My new puppy is totally into licking my butt crack. It is dangerous to disrobe in the same room as her. And, as much as I discourage it loudly, sternly and often with impunity, I also think it's cute that she wants to keep me clean.

4) I like giving head to women wearing strap-ons.

5) I hide trash under the seat of my impeccably clean car from purchases I am embarrassed I made. These include things like a movie box of M&Ms, a receipt for gas spent driving around aimlessly to avoid going home, a french fry container, an egg mcmuffin (no ham) wrapper . . .

6) I like to pull the hairs out of my chin and stick them to a piece of clear tape and look at them. I especially like doing this at work when I am alone in a dark room editing video.

7) I am a total submissive. I just top because I get off on other people's happiness.

8) I am lonely and all of closest my friends, nay all of my friends, live very far away. I miss them, a lot, but I don't think they miss me.

Well GODDAMMIT (sorry, Joel).

1. My second toe on my right foot is broken. I refuse to have it fixed since that will mean re-breaking it and I can't stand broken things in my body, or foreign objects.

2. On that note, I have a really big problem with touching magazine pages that are full-page photos of underwater scenes. It's completely irrational, I know, but I have a fear of water I can't see through.

3. I had a crush on Richard Marx for about 5 years (ages 10-15). I liked my hair big, yo.

4. I'm drunk. Okay, I was.

5. I like penguins, pirates, pickles, bananas, and pomegranates. Possibly in that order.

6. When I was little, I was known, on occasion, as the Bird Lady, since I used to take wild birds (abandoned) and raise them. We had a quail, a blue jay, a few sparrows, and 3 robins, a pigeon, and briefly, a raven (though not all at the same time).

7. I just finished the book King Leopold's Ghost and you should all read it.

8. This is ridiculously hard, trying to come up with interesting things without seeming too transparent. So I give up. And now I'm going to sleep because I have to install for a show tomorrow and yet STILL have to print the damn photos.

8.5. Yes, I am that awesome.

Uh...back to Joel? All the things at the top? Move to New York, my man. I came for two years and have stayed seven. Lawrence is a great town, but it will still be there if you decide you want to move back (you probably won't).

Thats right Easy Tiger. Score one for you. Actually, getting removed and eliciting a removable comment is a three pointer. You earn the capitalized Troll award. That means that every time someone uses the word "Troll" in reference to you, it must be capitalized as a form of reverence. Congratulations.

From one troll to Another, leave me alone, Easytiger. There's apparently no way to let you down easy, tiger, so just know that I am a happily married man. We have got to stop hurting each other. Your obsession is not healthy for you, and saying mean things that you don't really mean diminishes both of us. I love you, but not in that way. Can't we just be friends? I know you probably hear that a lot, but I MEAN IT! Seriously.

I am a person.
My opinions are important.
And gosh darn it, you like me.

Whew! I thought you were seeking a biblical knowledge relationship a la the Sodomites. I think it all began with my reference to usher rushing which apparently touched a nerve with you.

This makes 16 comments into a spiraling tangent to stupidity that must be some kind of record. I am feeling (I say this because I know you care) a strange mixture of self-loathing and pride.

Geez, Dazie! I was just starting to get the idea that none of the commenters remembered me here anymore. ^^

1. My half-birthday is St. Patrick's Day, and I still count the halves.

2. When I was 12 I counted the exact difference in age between my younger sister and myself -- two years, four months, three weeks.

3. I'm teaching myself PHP so I can deconstruct WordPress themes for fun.

4. My first movie was Star Wars (aged three weeks).

5. I earned two degrees before I figured out I loved learning but hated school.

6. One of my earliest memories is of imitating my father's conducting along with a classical music recording. (I think it was Beethoven's Missa Solemnis).

7. My least favorite interview/quiz question is any variation on "how would other people describe you?" -- because I don't see how anyone could really know that.

8. I was the first person in my family to own a computer -- a Tandy Color Computer 3 (that you plugged in to the TV and used a tape desk to save programs you wrote in Basic) -- because I asked my parents for it for Christmas in 1986. (My grandmother also got a computer that year, an IBM PC XT 286 with a modem and access to Prodigy. I became an internet addict one afternoon after school playing some Sherlock Holmes game.)

EDIT: My grandmother's computer was an IBM PC AT. To those it matters to, sorry.
