Ok. First up is Daydream Believer with the Six Degrees game.
It works like this:
"Link yourself within six steps to anyone famous."
Alright. So - if I understand this correctly, I can only go six steps away from myself.. example - 'I'm the mother of superstars!" would be one step away from myself... but "My best friend's father's uncle's mother's grandmother's aunt's best friend's nephew" would be tooooo far away as it is 8 steps away... got it?
So here are mine:
*I drank beer once with Joan Jett (she's really cool & down to earth - NOT stuck on herself at all..)
*I'm a descendant of Sacagawea
*My boss's boss's boss's boss is the President of the United States (heh... figure THAT one out! AND - it counts because I'm four steps away)
*I bought cigarettes for Huey Lewis once (Huey Lewis and the News). He smokes Marlboro Menthols... blech!
*I stood behind George Strait at the grocery store once
*My husband's grandmother is related to Margaret Mitchell (Gone with the Wind)
*My husband's grandfather is the half-brother of Willie Nelson (and yes - they do look alike)
CORI tagged me next with Christine's Meme creation (yeah - I recognized it Cori!! LOL)
1. Hum a jingle of which you know all the words. LOUDER!!
Ok, now write it down so we can remember it too.
What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs, and makes a slinkity sound? A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing! Everyone knows it's Slinky. It's Slinky, it's Slinky, it's fun, it's a wonderful toy. It's Slinky, it's Slinky, it's fun for a girl or a boy!!!!!!!!!!
2. As a kid, you played a board game over and over. And you cheated you little bastard. What was the game?
Yeah I cheated!! I cheated at Chutes & Ladders. I would always spin the little spinny thing to make sure I landed on the square with the BIG ladder, that goes all the way up from square number 28 to square number 84!! I also cheated at Candy Land. I always stacked the deck so I got all the double colors and picture cards!
3. What is the name of the song that you have been singing the incorrect words all these years? What were you singing? What should you have been singing?
Yes - I've been singing a song incorrectly, and I'm STILL doing it, because I still don't know what the hell is being sung:
So here it is... this is what I sing when I hear "Blinded by the Light" (and I KNOW I'm not the only one singing this lyric:
Blinded by the light!
Wrapped up like a douche
and he's a'runnin' up my thigh!...
Um.... I don't know??? I guess it would be the time when I was three years old and I got ARRESTED... yes - you read that right, ARRESTED at 3 years old for vandalizing a guy's brand new corvette. I started early *grin*.
TADA! So - I tag whoever wants to play. Pick one, pick both! But let me know if you did it!
NORM!
*screeches* Three??? You were arrested at THREE??? You're so my hero!
Try this: "Blinded by the light
Revved up like a deuce,
Another runner in the night."
Thanks for being such a good sport. Look how popular you get when you delurk!
