Sunday Stealing: The Martial Arts Meme
Cheers to all of us thieves!
Who was the last person that you held hands with? Kathy and I hold hands while we watch TV. Not the whole time, but part of it.
Are you loud, outgoing or shy? Outgoing. But I imagine loud people think that they’re just “outgoing”. The loudest guy that I ever met was my second wife’s ex-husband. He once waked the dead…
Who are you looking forward to see? Bill Shatner. I’m getting my pic taken with the Captain!
Are you easy to get along with? Yes. I genuinely like people. It’s all about the smile. I try to be personable to all the clerks I see every day.
Have you ever given up on someone, only to let them back into your lives? Why? Yes. My first serious girlfriend after my first wife and I broke up a million times only to get back together until I finally put an end to it. A couple of years later she asked me out to dinner and we wound up rolling around in a pile of leaves. After, she stated that sex didn’t change anything. I just walk away. When I finally walked it off I went to my car. She had covered it with flowers. We talked a few times over the last 20 years but never dated again. Then there were Luke & Laura. Didn’t they do the breakup and makeup thing? Life can be mysterious.
If you were ill, which TV doctor or nurse would you want to take care of you? Mark Green in E.R. He was very smart and cared so deeply. Although, Dr. Crusher on TNG would be terrific because she was so hot back then.
Does talking about sex make you uncomfortable? No. You shocked?
Who was the last person that you had serious conversation with? A customer just called me about his order. It took me a while to get him to understand that I’m on vacation. I did take his order however…
What was the last text message you received about? My prescription was ready at CVS.
Do you believe in luck and/or miracles? No. I believe it’s all random.
What good thing happened this summer? Seeing Paul McCartney for the third (and probably last) time. We were on the field at Fenway Park. We took my son Ben and his wife. They just bought a new house! They found out that they are expecting their second daughter.
Convince us why we should or should not believe in life on other planets? I’d point to the math alone. How could we possibly be alone? We just discovered a planet that would be suitable for humans. But since all we could do to get there would be a generational ship, I can’t see us going there unless we had to.
Who was your first crush on? Annette or Hailey Mills.
Favorite part of daily routine? At the moment it’s watching TV on my UHD-TV 65 inch and got it including delivery for $679. 43% off. I know I’ve mention it, but I still can’t believe it.
Do you like your neighbors? I don’t know them. My brief encounters have been fine. One just out a pool on the side of their home. It’s practically in my driveway. I wih they had invited us, but as I said, we don’t know them atall…
What’s your worst feature? Ha! Not me, I’m perfect!
Have you ever had trust issues? No.
That’s another week in the books. The first time that I did both Sat-9 & Stealing in quite a while. Finding the memes has got easier since I’ve discover a couple of new tricks, one on my own and the other from Cat. of the blog Sweet Memes. I changed the links for Stealing. The links now all show in the front and the links are visible for all memes past. It only cost $5 a year. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice change, but not all that important since who goes to memes past, anyway? Although the daily traffic on Stealing is mind blowing. We have over 500 hits a day and that number triples on the weekend. There are a lot of people who obvious play and don’t do links. Have a great week! Join us again. Same time. Same blog.

1) This song refers to “leaves of brown.” Can you see any leaves outside your window? What color are they? Green. It’s not easy to be green.
in her bio is her appearance as a “pin up girl” in Esquire magazine when she was just 17. What’s in your resume that you’d prefer to de-emphasize or gloss over? I haven’t looked at it in over a decade. But in round terms I’d say most of it.
If your life was a book, what would be its title? “The Tales of Tape” Since I’ve recorded my life since I was 17, I think it’s all there. Or as I wanted it presented at the time.
Boston during a white-out blizzard. While I was cursing the gods (this was long before cell phones) a man stopped, drove me to get gas and drove me back to my car. He would not take the $20 I offered or money for the tolls. As I got out he asked one thing of me: “Pay it forward.” I like to think I have.
If you could time travel and meet yourself at 16, what would you tell yourself? Don’t get married until you’ve had success on the radio.
thers you know have done? A tattoo.
Who is the most beautiful person on earth? For sheer beauty I’d go with Jennifer Lopez.
Tell us why we should like your favorite band. The Beatles. If I need to explain this then you know zero about rock and roll.
What are five things you hate? This question, bigots, Trump, bad vodka and bullies.
1) This video begins with Adele and her flip phone. Is your cell phone a simple or a smart phone? It’s been a smart phone for a long time, a decade I would guess. I remember seeing an original iPhone that a customer bought. I thought “Who’d need these features? I do have a computer after all.” But then I was offered one as an upgrade after whatever mobile company had it first. I know it wasn’t Verizon, since I’ve had them since 2004 at least.
r picked up. Think about the last call you made. Did you get through? Did you leave a voice mail? Or did you just hang up? I got through. Johnnie Walker texted me and I called him last night. He’s lived in Colorado over a year now. Next year is WTIT’s 50th birthday and I told him again that we (he four current recording DJs) would pay to have him flown out for it. He started to cry. He finally said, “I love you guys…”
1. Do you like blue cheese? This is not a question that you’d expect me to start with even though it was the first question on the actual meme. I always dislike yes or no questions and also questions where you pick something, say like your favorite spice. But I left it alone because there was so much to rework in this meme that was originally called “44 Things You Don’t Know About Me” I left it as a “place holder”. I figured I’d substitute a question later. But then the whole irony thing made me laugh. I’d worked so hard trying to make this fucker unique, I decided to leave the bloody question in. Oh and the answer is yes, I love bleu cheese. (It was hard not to correct the spelling as well!)
or so. A nurse I was dating told me of a patient who lost his voice to throat cancer and with me wanting to be a DJ it seemed the obvious choice. I quit by staying a weekend with a pot dealer friend of mine, Hunt Winklee. I smoke weed at the urge to smoke and slept a lot. But by Monday with the nicotine gone, I thought I smoked my last one. But after my first divorce I spent much time at bars where smoking was still allowed in the 90s. I smoked occasionally until dating someone who smoke and there I was again smoking two packs a day. Some ten years later I was diagnosed with heart disease and quit for good in 2004. I quit cold turkey. No pot dealer or the like.
3. Do you own a gun? How are your feelings about gun control/2nd amendment rights? This amendment was passed to enable folks to defend themselves against an invasion or the return of the English. I feel it’s out served its purpose and would be fine without guns. I hope that gun control becomes a mainstream desire.
Smirnoff Sour Apple. But I don’t drink it for that reason. I drink a ton of flavored water and cherry is my favorite.
9. In a dating situation, have you ever misrepresented yourself to seem cooler or hipper? (Yes we know for most of you it was long ago…) I don’t think so. I may have avoided a question or answered with one. After my first marriage I was only 39. I was asked by women on a first date constantly, “I know you have four children, would you have another with me?” First fucking date. It baffled me at first until a woman that I worked with said that I had to come up with a better answer so that I could move forward. Tammy said, “What’s the odds that you gonna marry the bitch anyway? Just lie.” She had a point. So I found myself responding to this asinine question by responding, “I have four children because I love children. Why wouldn’t I have another one with you?” And she was correct. But I didn’t even have to lie. I just asked the question back to her. (Whoever “her” was at the time…) Although I was married twice more, both women did not want a child with me or anyone else.
13. What’s a thing you dislike or would change about yourself? I’d talk less at work. It gets you into trouble and serves no useful purpose. No one cares about my opinions. Unless you count the sales thing. They do care about what I think about what I’m presenting.
party tomorrow. I’ve been out of it since the turn of the millennium, so I’m thrilled to be asked. It’s about the people who worked for my favorite station growing up. Ironically, it’s one of the few I never worked for. But I have a ton of friends who did and they invited the folks who worked at the rival station, which I did.
16. Name 3 drinks you regularly drink. Tell us a bit about them. Diet Coke wakes me up. I’ve become addicted to Dunkin’ Donuts’ Frozen Hot Chocolate and can’t wait till they stop selling it. Then there is my love of Smirnoff. I never thought I could just drink it occasionally, but now that is what I do.
22. Have you ever walked into a room with just shoes on? No.
Tell us about a person who made you smile today. Someone suggested I try a new Asian restaurant. I have severe reservations.
Kathy was asking me if I found everything to make my bagel. I think she felt guilty for not doing it for me. I keep telling her that I don’t expect her to do that. But it is an ongoing issue.
