Stormtrooper Twindaddy over at Stuph Blog has tagged me…and now I have to do work. As if just being a Mercenary Researcher is not work enough…
So here’s the deal…
1. Post these rules. (DONE & DONE!)
2. Post a photo of yourself and eleven random facts about you. (This is really TWO directives and should technically be broken into TWO ‘rules’ – but I’ll let it slide … since no one is paying me for this, I’d rather not have to engage in my ‘mercenary’ side – just yet that is)
3. Answer the questions given to you in the tagger’s post. (Fine – I’ll do it)
4. Create eleven new questions and tag new people to answer them. (A researcher’s favorite past time)
5. Go to their blog/twitter and let them know they have been tagged. (I don’t twitter, twatter, tweet or twat)
So let’s get to it, eh people?
Picture of Me
Elven Random Facts about ME
1) I sometimes suffer from lydexia
2) Did you get it? No? That’s ok – I italicized to give you a hint.
3) I have a fish on my thigh
4) I have another thigh
5) With something else on it
6) It is not a fish
7) I have never lost a nipple
8) I am a librarian and I don’t alphabetize anything in my house if I can help it
9) I like the color black – to the exclusion of most other colors
10) I hate buttons – a lot – more than clowns even
11) I’ve a really sensitive gag reflex – don’t eat near me if you cannot tell that you have food on your face…Please don’t eat mayo near me…and I won’t allow you near me if you are eating anything called ‘egg salad’.
12) I met Gopher from the Love Boat in an elevator in DC when I was 16
13) I don’t like following directions to the letter….
Now to answer other questions from Twindaddy… I can only IMAGINE how embarrassing this is going to be…
Q: Dogs shouldn’t snore. Why the hell is my dog snoring?
A: Better the noise comes from that end than the other ~
Q: Describe the most embarrassing moment you ever endured.
A: My skirt falling off in the cheese department at Fry’s at 1AM…at the time I was wondering how come so many freaks shop at 1AM…then my skirt fell off… and well, I was the freak.
Q: My butt’s numb from sitting here for so long. Wait, that’s not a question. You have a wedgie. Do you take care of immediately or wait until no one will notice you taking care of it?
A: I make sure someone is looking and then remove the wedgie. I don’t want a yeast infection, ya know.
Q: A coworker has some nasty body odor. How do you address the situation?
A: Let’s leave my bathing habits out of this, shall we?
Q: You just farted. You are relieved that it wasn’t loud but it quickly becomes apparent that it was SBD. Do you blame the dog?
A: I don’t have a dog – I have to resort to feigning death.
Q: You don’t have a dog. Who do you blame now?
A: When you’re feigning death, no one expects you to be vocal. But they expect you to release gas, urine and fecal matter. That could present a bigger problem.
Q: Who’s the most hilarious blogger you follow besides me?
A: That’s kind of unfair…I’m hilarious and so am I. I also find Rosemary at Drinking Tips for Teens to be snort-a-licious. He likes a special channel.
Q: Some dude’s fly is down. Do you do the considerate thing and tell him or are you too embarrassed to say anything because you’d have to admit you were looking at his junk?
A: Why am I responsible for the emotional state of another person’s zipper? I don’t even LIKE zippers. I have enough junk in my own house, why would I want to make eye contact with his? Is this a trick question? Are we on Cops again?
Q: What is the funniest movie EVAR (sic)??
A: Waiting for Guffman & Drop Dead Gorgeous (see #13 in the previous section)
Q: I got so drunk this one time that I actually….
A: Browned out then vomited for a week straight. Strobe lights and tequila do not go well together.
Q: If you could be any species in that galaxy far away, which would it be (yes, I’m referring to Star Wars)?
A: Funicular.

Thank God you didn’t pick me because I STILL haven’t responded to the last award you gave me.
I also found that I am EXACTLY like you except for 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
You’re hilarious ~ I’m a couple of awards behind myself…
I was really close to putting you on there too!!
I had a sneaking suspicion you had thighs…
Mostly, I just want to ask what happened that it was necessary to state that you have never lost a nipple.
And thsnks so much for the tag.
I shall begin pondering forthwith.
Thank you for your interest in my non nipple loss-age… and obviously I have an enlightening post regarding that exact topic….

Please continue to ponder forthwith –

You don’t alphabetize things in your house? I’m heartbroken to learn this.
Music and DVD media is semi-alphabetized…but basically, I’m not an organizational librarian – rather a research librarian. I tend to find everything and my org scheme is likely to be based on size and/or usage rather than letters…depending on the amount in my collection.
But yes, I’m a disappointment thru and thru, Weebs.
That’s okay, my books aren’t alphabetized either. They’re by topic and size, and/or by usage. Sort of Dewey decimal ish but not really.
I love how the monks organized their libraries in the ME times…size and color 🙂
My books are sort of like yours ~ I’m a good starter a sucky maintainer
Thanks for laughs this morning. 🙂
My pleasure!
Great post!! I’m just relieved I’m not on the list!!! Haha! The reason I’m a crap writer is due to being forced to write in APA style for so long. I’m with you on the black – it’s rare when I wear a ‘color.’
I can still put you on the list!!!
NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the great laugh-out-louds on this one. I’m so glad you’ve never lost a nipple, but I’m sorry you lost your skirt in front of people. And I’m really sorry about that work odor problem. 😉
Great tag post! I love the remark about your recipients having to answer using APA style. There is no greater punishment than that…
don’t I know it! I was glad to leave citations/ academia behind for THAT…
I’m used to writing in AMA style–much, much simpler than APA. But I had to learn APA when I got my MPH degree. Not fun.
TORTURE!
Well done, you Funicular, you!
I like a special Funicular, ya know!
St. Kitts has the largest British Fort in the Caribbean. Nevis is the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton. Just thought I’d help our your tagees. I was just in St. Kitts diving last summer. Great post, Denise!
AWESOME! Cathy – please join in – I’ll tag ya!
Oh, that’s okay, Denise. I’ll just watch from the sidelines. I like being a know-it-all…
Too late 🙂 YOU’RE TAGGED!! I have to change my settings for your posts to IMMEDIATELY b/c I see I missed Haiku Sunday!! But I added mine – just late. 🙂
Interesting answers–and questions. Hope the others play along.
Me too!
I like a special channel.
I know you do – it’s what makes you kind of snort-a-licious
I like a special channel.
You ARE a special channel.
I like a special channel. (I can do this all day. Except to say THANKS FOR THE COOL COMPLIMENT! Or the coolmpliment.
I, too, have a high tolerance of repetition…and it’s funny each and every time I see it and write it…
Yous is welcome
)
I don’t believe you’ve never lost a nipple. EVERYONE has lost a nipple.
Nope- I’ve been keeping track ~
Well, except for you, I meant.
I have a post about it, ya know…
No, I didn’t know.
Well, let me enlighten you…
https://themercenaryresearcher.wordpress.com/2012/08/19/loss-of-what/
I had no idea.
I’m a very informative person, if you’ve not noticed.
Oh, I have. I know you’re for hire and I’ll keep you in mind for any jobs I may have.
Excellent ~
Waiting For Guffman! I knew I liked you.
OH BILL!! Add yourself to that list too!!
I used to own copies of both the APA and MLA style manuals. I’m going to have an ex-CITING time with this!
Tee hee hee….
Oh no…..
Hee hee hee
I don’t have to post a picture of my tattoo do I?
You may do as you wish ~ as if you wouldn’t 🙂
