Cathy in the Wright

Hey Kevin...Hisssssssss

Peeved at my lack of appearances at the MOB wateringhole, Young Jedi Kevin has seen fit to attach my name to one of these meme horrors. My inclination is to ignore the tag, but since I have nothing else to write about today, here's your filler post.

12 Things

1: Black and White or Color; how do you prefer your movies?

Black? White? Does it really matter? As long as Colin Firth is stripped to the waist in several close-ups...who cares.

2: What is the one single subject that bores you to near-death?

Memes.

3: MP3s, CDs, Tapes or Records: what is your favorite medium for prerecorded music?

No one listens to 8-track anymore?

4: You are handed one first class trip plane ticket to anywhere in the world and ten million dollars cash. All of this is yours provided that you leave and not tell anyone where you are going ... Ever. This includes family, friends, everyone. Would you take the money and ticket and run?

Nope. What's the point of going somewhere really cool with all that cash if you can't rub it in to your family and friends?

5: Seriously, what do you consider the world's most pressing issue now?

Finding Kevin something better to do with his time.

6: How would you rectify the world's most pressing issue?

Get him a girlfriend.

7: You are given the chance to go back and change one thing in your life; what would that be?

Not dated Pete.

8: You are given the chance to go back and change one event in world history, what would that be?

I've always felt rather bad for Archduke Ferdinand.

9: A night at the opera, or a night at the Grand Ole' Opry --Which do you choose?

Opera.

10: What is the one great unsolved crime of all time you'd like to solve?

Why Sisyphus took out that restraining order on me. I thought moving, getting the unlisted number, and installing the security system would have been enough.

11: One famous author can come to dinner with you. Who would that be, and what would you serve for the meal?

P.J. O'Rourke. Because this is one of my favorite passages ever written:

When the Turks backed the wrong horse in World War I, the French and English divvied up the region in a manner both completely self-serving and unbelievably haphazard, like monkeys at a salad bar.

From Give War A Chance. Chinese take-out. But he'd have to bring it because there is no decent Chinese place around here.

12: You discover that John Lennon was right, that there is no hell below us, and above us there is only sky -- what's the first immoral thing you might do to celebrate this fact?

Watch your back, Kevin.
