Well, I was tagged by Mando Mama and apparently this means I'm now supposed to come up with five little known things about myself that I can share. Initially, I said I wouldn't do this because I don't really get into the whole chain mail type thing on the net. Then I realized that this would be somewhat rude since she did make the effort to tag me (pun intended).
The problem is that I'm not sure I can come up with 5 things. I have three I can think of and if I have to spend more than one minute coming up with two more, I'll just skip it and do three.
1. I'm a big fan of all living creatures. However, the sole exception to this rule is centipedes. They really make me nervous and I will kill them when confronted. Always from a safe distance if possible.
2. The sound of someone dragging roller luggage behind me is disconcerting. For some reason, it always sounds like they are speeding up and catching me. I then walk faster but it feels like they also start walking faster. It's especially unnerving if it is a woman in heels also using a roller bag.
3. I abhor mayonnaise, sour cream or anything with this texture or that creamy, sour taste. This by default includes any kind of creamy salad dressing, especially ranch, and any sort of chip dip. By extension, it also includes hummus though I realize this is a completely different animal. I still don't like the texture. Sour cream in frosting or baked goods is okay.
Hmmm, for 4 & 5 I got nothing.

LOL! Thank you for playing, Doc. I have the very same feeling about centipedes...the big war-mongering kind I used to find that used to surprise me in what is now my ex's basement. (Good luck to the poor kid who now has that as his bedroom--it's not my kid, so the centipede population is not my problem.)
Ask Son of Mando sometime about how he once felt about Mayo. Or, ask his dad what he thought would happen when he felt sure his three year old son would love some on his sandwich. The gang still brings this up once in a while when confronted with some other inexplicably clueless act of bullheadedness.
Well, I will occasionally forget to order my BLT's in restaurants sans mayo. I think this is because I rarely order BLTs. My problem in restaurants is that they put so much of the stuff on sandwiches and burgers. I believe that with mayo, a little goes a long, long way.
I also personally think this is part of the weight issue in this country. For example, I eat an occasional Big Mac but I also order it with no sauce which chops off like 400 calories. I know people who actually put ranch dressing on french fries, as if you need to add more fat to fries because they're not unhealthy enough.
This country is so funny. You'll hear people talk about how all they eat is salad but each salad they eat has 1000 calories of creamy dressing on it.
Of course, mayo AND a centipede on my BLT would be the absolute worst of all possible worlds.
I am afraid, my dear Doctor Don, that you are wrong. Mayo and HALF a centipede in a sandwhich would be the absolute worst of all possibilities.
thanks for sharing!
eww. centipedes scurrying down the back of your shirt!
*shutter*
Yeah,half a centipede might be worse!
Jenny - Hey stranger. I don't know about down the shirt but I hate when they're on the ceiling above you. I think they're just waiting to drop.
or when they come up from the bathtub drain!
