Seven Things I Dig About Whit
A big thanking is due to Anthony of sink.into.the.pacific. Despite recently becoming a monk he has taken the time to tag me. For the Whit MeMe. I appreciate the snuggle from the object of my mostly platonic affections.
Now for the part we have been waiting for:
Slightly More than Seven Things I Dig About Whit.
- I can spend quite a bit of time thinking of a good smart-ass comment; two minutes later, he will reply with an even better smart-ass comment. I dig someone that can think fast and make me try harder.
- He obviously loves his kids. I dig a guy that adores his children and can express it a way that makes everyone else adores him. Example 1, 2, and 3.
- Even though he doesn’t understand it, he respects my drunken desire to have a religious experience with a fresh ripe tomato. I dig anyone that respects a womans drunken desires.
- I own stock in Church and Dwight, Inc. They make Nair.
- He quit a job he hated to be a SAHD that works from home. Stay-at-home dads always get a big thumbs up in my book. It takes a special kind of guy to do a job like that.
- He writes poetry. What woman doesn’t dig a dude that can write poetry, especially if it’s good.
- He will argue passionately about the non-girliness of the drink called mojito. He thinks ‘Hemmingway drank it’ is a good argument.
- He knows how to stay out of trouble. About the time he realized I was writing this post he came barreling over here to leave a nice comment about my writing.
- He may be the only person in the world that can make me giggle about a dead cat. Now that I think about it, he makes me giggle about a lot of things I shouldn’t giggle about. I dig that.
That brings to an end my diggin’ of Whit. I’m having trouble figuring out the next tag. I am thinking Rattling the Kettle because he has the highest number of recent links to Whit on Technorati and I am certain it would be good. The originator of the MeMe, Island Girl, agrees with me so how about it, RTK?
How sad and tacky that I am the first to comment, but this may very well be the crowning achievement of your blogging career and I could not let it go unappreciated.
It’s funny that this meme started, and possibly still is, a joke about me, and while I have given more than ample fuel for people to light me up, I am constantly surprised by the thought and kindness that people express.
It’s touching, not in a “don’t tell my wife” sort of way, but in a “I cry every time I watch Rudy” fashion.
Thank you!
A very good MeMe response indeed! On a stimulating topic, close to my heart!
But in fact, Dan started the Whit MeMe, not moi. I was merely the first to actually be tagged with it.
I do really like Honey. :)
I need some lemon and Honey right now, for I am deathly ill…
I did not start it, I just mentioned it in passing. it was Island Girls obsession with you which made it a reality.
Anyway, it’s not a joke about you – it’s a gentle but fond tease. The internet is a better place for your presence.
My ‘obession’ as you term it Dan is pure and beautiful! I will not hear a word said against myself!
But Mr. Honey it’s true, we are not teasing you.
Well, some of us are… but only in a “don’t tell your wife!” sort of way, not a mean sort of way.
Pearls before swine… pearls before swine…
Gah!
The swine being Dan and his kind, not Mr. Honey!
I wonder…if I actually do this meme, will Whit finally forgive me for ignoring the last meme he tagged me with? And will he forgive me for ending that sentence with “with”? Or that one? Dear god, what have I started?
Oh My. I put up a post about a blogger I would never make into a joke, because I respect him, and when I come back I find finger pointing, name calling, and improper sentence structures! I can’t believe it. OK, so I can.
To answer your question Rattling The Kettle, all of your blogging transgressions will be absolved the minute you post your MeMe.
As for ending your sentences with with, you are on my blog. You can end your sentences with anything you want to end them with. You can place, commas, at, random or withhold them as you choose it’s your choice. I am not a grammer bigot. You do not even have to spell grammar correctly. I am all for the stream of consciousness writing and will appreciate your efforts regardless of what you end your sentences with. Or, how you end your sentences. Who am I to judge a future Joyce, Faulkner, or Python? Whatever works for you. I am very open minded like that.
She started it.
Dan, it takes two to argue. I don’t care who started it. If it doesn’t end now you will both be in your rooms.
Here’s a dumb question folks…I’m new to blogging. I’m about a month and a half old in the blogosphere and I don’t know what a meme is. Somebody please fill me in.
The way I understand it, a meme is an idea or social norm that moves from person to person until it is a common idea and no one know where it started. Kinda like Americans put ketchup on french fries. :)
In the world of the blog a meme is a list of questions that someone (and, in this case, I’m not saying who!) started and it is passed from blog to blog with the ideal that at some point in time every blog in the know universe will have participated in the meme.
“this may very well be the crowning achievement of your blogging career”
Whit, you may be right. You were one of the most popular posts last month. You came in just slightly below The Olive Garden. Only half as popular as getting spanked though…
A post about Whit getting spanked at the Olive Garden? Hummm.
I’m still waiting for the post about me getting spanked at the O.G.- wait, I thought their breadsticks were bottomless.
Whatever happened to this meme?
You’ll be worried about more than a breadstick bottom if I ever get around to that post.
RTK killed the meme. Not only does he have poor humor judgement, he’s also a bad tag. Doesn’t have much going for him. Poor guy. I might have to revoke his tag and tag someone more responsible. Any suggestions?
