I saw that CW over at Tilting At Windmills was participating in this blog hop and decided to invite myself.
A word of caution to The Doglady's Den...

me because of my close-mindedness

Like I promised, more than you ever cared to know. Blame CW...if he hadn't participated, I would not even know about the whole exercise.

I admit it. I apologize to everyone who had to put up with this debacle. Except for the song, which was very good. If it helps any, I have dark navy underwear on today.
ReplyDeleteThere's a saying about why men wear dark underwear...but I am far too high brow to repeat it here!
DeleteI like that you're willing to learn to kill someone.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of Tastykake Coconut Juniors. Maybe only available up north?
Tastykake is a Philadelphia company, and while they sell some of their products as far west as Arizona, the coconut juniors are hit and miss....although I've seen them in Florida.
DeleteIt's best I cannot get my hands on them.
I usually get up at 5:30 (or earlier) as well so I can wake my wife up so she can get off to work. Lately as I recuperate I've been staying in bed though I still have been waking up at 5:30.
ReplyDeleteI did this meme for my A to Z at my Wrote By Rote blog except I stretched it out for 26 days. Talk about getting maximum mileage with something.

Tossing It Out
I'm not an interesting enough person to stretch this out for 26 days...people would nod off by "C"
DeleteWelcome back, my friend!
Enjoyable way to know more about you! You made it even more interesting with the images and videos. Thanks for playing. I'm always happy to meet another music lover. Cheers! P.S. 54 is not fucking old! Just wait 'til you get to be my age! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's not the years, Debbie-it's the mileage....kick my tires and the rust falls off!
DeleteI would really love to go to Ireland. It's been on my bucket list for a while now (along with the rest of the British Isles).
ReplyDeleteI was lucky to have a job for several years that sent me to the United Kingdom several times, as well as to South Korea and all over North America. I recently went back to Ireland (first time there since 1992) and boy has it changed. It's still beautiful, but when I went in the early 90's it was kind of a quaint well-kept secret, and very different visually from the US. On this recent trip, there were five Starbucks' within a square mile in downtown Dublin, McDonald's signs on the mass transit. Still beautiful to visit, but very Americanized.
DeleteIs Barry Crockett anything like Betty Crocker? (Yeah, we're both swines when it comes to whiskey)
ReplyDeleteAlso, on a more serious note, have you considered upgrading to the Tastykake Coconut Senior?
Anytime someone gives me a free shot from a EURO$300 bottle of whiskey, I'm drinking it. And it was awesome.
DeleteAnd don't knock the Tastykake until you try it...
We'd take a free shot from a $30 bottle of whiskey. We won't know how to truly savor what we're drinking, but we'll still drink it.
DeleteAnd I'm not knocking the Tastykake. Consider that jealously, that unless either of us somehow makes it out to Philly one day that we'll never be able to try it.
That shot was the first time I drank a shot of whiskey that didn't have that kick at the end-there was warmth from the alcohol, of course, but that day I learned what "smooth" mean when you are describing whiskey.

ReplyDeleteWell, at least you flip the seat up first! (And BTW, I have no respect for any man who puts the seat back down afterwards. Putting the seat down is women's work.)
When it comes to food, your tastes are simple: Chicken and a piece of store-bought coconut cake? Not even chicken prepared a certain way? (And here I thought I was a simple kind of man.)
Is that 'WHO'S NEXT' compact disc still available?

A lot of people lump Tastykakes into the same class as a Hostess Twinkie, and while they are certainly not gourmet, they actually have a shelf life that is expressed in months, not centuries, so they are fresh tasting when you eat them-but yes, I am kind of simple when it comes to food.
DeleteYou'd mentioned two CD's and I was looking for that comment over the weekend but can't get back to it. Shoot me a text or e-mail with the names of the CD's and your mailing address (thought I had that but can't find it either).
Brilliant answers :D W was laugh-out-loud. Same goes for K. I made me want to put my arms around you. I get the same Q, but for books ("Have you read all of them?" "No, they're there because they go well with the wallpaper." Seriously...) Glad you wandered into Debbie's hop!
ReplyDeleteGuilie @ Quiet Laughter
Glad you liked it, Guillie-I have a similar (but smaller) book problem-the "to be read" file goes up faster than I can read them. And I encourage you to go with the "arms around" impulse! Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteLarry
I love that Tastycake Coconut! Yum! Great answers.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!
I was just on the east coast for a family wedding and had one. Double yum!
DeleteSuch honest answers. I found them sweet to an extent :P
ReplyDeleteYou wake up at 5.30 :o
It used to be 4:45 (without any alarm)...as I have aged, I seem to sleep later...thanks for dropping by!
DeleteWhat are Tasty Cake Coconut Juniors? Must try one. I'm afraid of heights, too. I see no reason to go above the second floor of anything. Great to meet you on the TMI.
ReplyDeleteThey are snack cakes but not widely available in the west.
Deletehttp://www.tastykake.com/
My favorite treat!
THanks for the link. Will take a look.
DeleteLovely to meet you. I love your approach to the blog hop and your visuals! The pain of losing a mother is a deep pain and it never goes away. I miss mine and think about her all the time. I participated in the hop too and hope you can pop over and visit! :-)
ReplyDeleteI lost both parents within a few months, and it is definitely a part of life that I wish people experience as late as possible-enjoy people while you have 'em because it's all temporary (at least in this life).
DeleteWise ass....yep we must be related somehow!! 😁
ReplyDeleteYears of practice!
DeleteTastycake is such a PA thing. I'm also from Pennsylvania and love Tastycake--especially their pies.
ReplyDeleteActually their pies are my favorite pies (apple, cherry)-and I remember a chocolate eclair that I used to like a lot, too.
DeleteSo much fun reading your funny list with all the fun photos to go along with it. Your answers made me smile. Thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed them, Cathy! Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteI got a chuckle at your travel bucket list. Last year I traveled to Ireland (my bucket list goal)with my sister and brother-in-law. They live in Australia. And yes, a long, long time ago, I visited them, but it's been so many years, Australia is back on my list.
ReplyDeleteHawaii is also on my list, but I should be able to swing that in the next couple of years...Australia is a little pricier...
