More Useless Info about the KOOK.

I do not know if any of you will care in the least, but since I have not posted much lately I fell back on one of these MEME’s. Just in case you want to know more about who I am.

WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Yep. I've been called by my middle name all my life, and my Mema got it from an actor. But I share my first name with my Father and my Grandfather.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? Reading stories on ambulancedriverfiles. I cry occasionally, and I ain't ashamed to admit it.

DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? Not really it is somewhere between harried scrawl and 4th grade penmanship, but it is mostly legible if I try. Cursive it is not.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Roast beef, thickly sliced, or Turkey thinly sliced.

DO YOU HAVE KIDS? Almost. I seem to have one around a lot.

IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? That is a really interesting question. I am not sure if I could put up with myself. Seriously, you have read my blog right?

DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? Nah…I am neither sarcastic nor cynical.

DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yep. Still have my tonsils, No appendix, though

WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Not. On. Your. Life. I could be forced to jump out of a plane as long as you could ASSURE me that the crash would kill me if I didn’t.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? Shredded Wheat, and there used to be this cereal called S.W. Graham, it was like shredded wheat but made out of graham crackers.

DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? Nope. I just kick them off, and most of my shoes I just step back into when it is time to go.

DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? I used to be. Legs were always much stronger than upper body, but I could bench press my weight fairly easily. I can still bench press my weight, too. I might just have to do it in stages, you know like in fifty pound increments.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM? Bunny. Tracks. or a Dream Lover from the custard shop.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? Shoes, and I am a sucker for a nice rear end on a lady…

For males, it's the handshake. I cannot stand a limp handshake.

RED OR PINK? Neither.

WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? My tendency to procrastinate. I've been meaning to join a support group, but just haven't gotten around to it. No biggie, though - they still haven't scheduled their first meeting.

WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? There was a girl in HS that I was super close with and really had a crush on too. She has completely disappeared. My cousin, we have always been close but now do not get to see each other often and do not talk nearly enough.

WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? Khaki and Brown. Soon as I get home that will change to blue jeans or shorts and none.

WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE? Mexican Buffett.

WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? The Hum of the air conditioner. But lately a lot of Colt Ford in the truck.

IF YOU WHERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE? Blue, Electric Blue….duh.

FAVORITE SMELLS? In no particular order: Horses (if you don’t get it, you don’t get it); Fresh Mowed Hayfield (sneezes and all), that particular smell you get when you mix lake water, fiberglass, gasoline, and 2 cycle engine oil, in the hot sun; Diesel Smoke, unburnt gas coming out of a 4 barrel carb; Honeysuckles.

WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE? My Grandpa.

FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH? MMA, Rodeo, Motorsports, Football, then everything else.

HAIR COLOR[S]? Brown. Used to be much much blonder, but it is getting darker with age.

EYE COLOR? Green. really Green.

DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS? Nope. I do have a prescription for computer glasses, but I suppose my eyes were tired when I took my eye exam. I was diagnosed with mild astigmatism, but I can see 20/20ish when my eyes are well rested.

FAVORITE FOOD? Steak, and whatever comes with it. Marinade in allegro, liberal amounts of garlic, grill it about 4 minutes on each side When you cut into it, it should be seared on the outside and gently fade towards a light pink in the middle and juices should run across the plate into your garlic mashed potatoes.

SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? Happy endings. I am not entertained by scary movies in the least. Blood and gore do not bother me, but the suspense and impending doom in horror movies just isn’t my thing.

LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED? 8 seconds, last night.

WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING? Maroon, Blue, and White; striped.

SUMMER OR WINTER? Neither. For me, it's fall, the time of year I get to indulge my inner predator and go slay some of God's furry little creatures. Also the best time to go camping and have hayrides and cookouts. Summer is fun for the lake and women’s wardrobes. Winter is fun for 4 wheeling in snow and ice. Spring is for allergies.

HUGS OR KISSES? Both if you are a cute female

FAVORITE DESSERT? Not much into sweets. I usually get too full on the aforementioned steak

WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW? Enders Game; Right Nation; The Leave us alone Coalition. I also read Demon’s Seed by Dean Koontz on the plane from Atlanta last week. I keep books in different rooms and sometimes read several at a time.

WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? Don’t use em.

WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON T.V. LAST NIGHT? Fox news and 8 Seconds

FAVORITE SOUND[S]? A Ford Powerstroke starting up (it is weird I know); Water gently lapping the side of the boat; my system in full bump, a Ford NAA tractor, cicadas and whippoorwills.

ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES? That's like asking me if I prefer shit or vomit. Can't really stand either one too much but If I had to choose I pick the Stones.

WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME? In terms of mileage? Los Angeles, California. In terms of politics and ideology? Los Angeles, California.

DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT? After hearing a song a few times I can listen to it in my head and hear all the lyrics. I kill at the Singing Bee; Not bad to have at Trivial Pursuit. I have mad Excel skills. I am a jack of many trades and a master of none. I can do a little carpentry, auto mechanics, residential electrical, drafting, welding, minor veterinary care (large animal), decent on a computer, and if it has wheels or a hull I can operate it.

WHERE WERE YOU BORN? Cape Girardeau Missouri, Home Town of Rush Limbaugh.
