FbL sent along this latest virus meme. And because, despite my oft-spoken reservations to being victimized participating in this sort of chick stuff thought exercise, I have always had a hard time saying “no” to a lady, often to my very bitter regret.
So, with that gracious acceptance of a task lightly delivered, here you go:
5 things I plan to do before I die:
1. Fly-fish the Gallatin in Montana. The Madison, too. Maybe the Bitterroot.
2. Wait, is that three?
3. Yes. Yes, I think it is.
4. Learn not to regret the things I didn’t do. Like that gymnastics instructor in Finland.
5. Play Pebble.
5 things I can do:
1. Hit a driver 300 yards, when I catch it flush.
2. Write, a bit.
3. Make a PowerPoint brief sing, although it gives me no pleasure to admit it.
4. Land the jet the first time, almost all the time, when it counts the most. Or at least, I used to could.
5. Love too well, if all too often, not too wisely.
5 things I cannot do:
1. Play the piano. Or any musical instrument.
2. Suffer fools.
3. Cook, much. I’m not permitted.
4. Pass this particular meme on to any of my friends. Spffft!
5. Think of five things I cannot do.
5 things that attract me to the opposite sex:
1. Looks, at first. I’m a guy, that’s how we roll.
2. Intelligence – I want to learn and I love a challenge.
3. Confidence – someone who can look you in the eye and doesn’t blink.
4. Large, strong hands.
5. Who left that in there?
5 things I say most often:
1. No sir.
2. Yes ma’am.
3. Did I say that out loud?
4. They need that when?
5. You’ve got to be kidding me.
Update: You know how sometimes you write something, and it makes perfect sense to you, and then you look at it later and realize that it’s open to wildly different interpretations? I just got a strange feeling about dataset 3, items 4 and 5. To clarify, item 4 is meant to refer back to FbL’s original post, using the same language as she used (in fact, I cut and pasted from her text). With that understanding, it should be clear that item 5 refers to the immediately preceding item 4.
I know it’s not funny if you have to explain it, but you know: It smacks of a greatly lessened state of perversion, read this way.
I personally liked #3 in the last set – I do that ALL the time. Thankfully I’ve been told I’m endearing and adorable, so I’m forgiven most of the time…
I kind of like these exercises, if for no other reason than I take the time to think about myself for a moment, which is rare in my life believe me!
Oh and Lex, #2 in the 2nd set is a bit of an understatement…..
Lex, you want to fish the Bitterroot?
Well shee-oot, skipper, grab your rod and reel and come on up! You can don your hip-waders and fish and I’ll sit on the back, make smart-assed comments and drink all of the beer!
The hands don?ɬ
The hands don’t have to be large but strong don’t hurt.
Thanks for being a good sport, Lex. That was a delight read–had me laughing throughout.
I have a couple comments, though…
Hit a driver 300 yards, when I catch it flush. What about the ball?
I cannot…Suffer fools Really? Never noticed.
I cannot…Think of five things I cannot do. Ego, anyone? ROFL!
No sirand Yes ma’am. Hmmm… Interesting.
Again, thanks. I thought it might be a way to get to have a little sport and get to know some of my fellow bloggers a bit better. I’m glad to see it has been, so far.
Yes, Sir.
No, Sir.
Aye, Aye, Sir.
No Excuse, Sir.
I’ll Find Out, Sir.
Sorry, I just had a flashback.
How’s the cow….
Re: your upate… It made perfect sense to me. One of the best laugh lines, in fact.
Yeah, I thought it might. But then I read Richard’s comments and thought it might be a little, you know: inside baseball. At least for those who didn’t follow the links.
And I had (*grudgingly*) fun with it.
I like a man who’s honest about what he likes in a woman, and I have yet to find many who don’t list your #1 as their #1- although few are man enough to admit it!
*confidently looks at long fingers with wide spread, wondering if they qualify as “large and strong”*
*giggle*
*blushes*
Aww. Garsh.
I gotta tell you- I don’t get it….but what can you expect from someone who didn’t fly much over 600kts.
Is Pebble a drinking game?
What’s a meme? Is it one of these? http://www.tanyamemme.com
Why do you like woman with BIG er hands..?
Don’t answer that.
What’s this mean?: [...]
Oh yeah and this: ROFL

Re Fly fishing- drive to the Slide Inn on rt 87 in MT. Listen up? Hear & see the Madison River. Look magnetic 187 degrees for 1250 yds. The land is vacant of real estate there but it is mine. You are welcome to fish there. It’s all catch and release though and here is the real gouge it took me years to learn- all the big trout are within 10 ft of the bank so tread carefully and don’t try to cross the river..you’ll never make by not swimming. Lastly, beware of Texans who own land nearby. You know how they are about property rights.
The Gallatin is fun but it is a bunch of smallish and feisty rainbows. The Bitteroot? I heard it’s coming back but it hasn’t been good since Norman MacClean (River Runs Through It) was young.

O-O-O-O, Tanya Memme! Can’t tell how big those hands are, I’ll have to watch more A & E TV….Did I say that?
