Your Guess is as Good as Mine

Posted in: Saturday 9. Leave a comment
Every Saturday WTIT: The Blog brings you a meme called Saturday 9. It’s not to say that this is a bright idea, but it is what we do. A woman named Crazy Sam started this meme because a prior popular Saturday meme specialist Lola had retired. So, Sam contacted all Lola’s participants and invited us to participate in her meme. The biggest difference is that Sam enjoys our participation. All of Sam’s questions and writing are in bold.

Saturday 9: Should I Stay or Should I Go

1. Have you ever been on a date and you had to tell the person to just go away? When I was in high school Hunt Winklee, a fellow WTIT DJ, fixed me up on a blind date. I had invited the girl to a party. I picked her up at 7:30. On our way she said, “Just so you know, when you’re with me there’s no smoking, no drinking and no sex.” I thought a second and said, “So, no date, no way.” I drove her home. The date lasted twenty minutes.

2. Do you wish you were someplace else right now? If yes, where? I’ve read that Cape Cod is nice this time of year. The beaches aren’t even crowded. If I brought some Smirnoff, I’m sure it would be fun, though.

3. Do you have any pet peeves? People who answer memes that do not take them seriously.

4. Tell us about a guilty pleasure of yours. I am fascinated by TV shows about animals. I watch a lot of Discovery, Nat Geo and Animal Planet. Other than the stingray, Steve Irwin had a nice swim.

5. If you could change places and become a celebrity, who would you’d like to be? George Clooney. I know this will sound rather shallow, but being able to sleep with any woman that you want does have a certain appeal.

6. What do you consider your biggest talent? Women have told me that it’s my tongue. It must be because of the way I talk or something. Your guess is probably as good as mine.

7. Do you have a favorite actor/actress that is not a big star, yet they are your favorite? Ahhhhhhhh. Jill Hennessy comes to mind. She became famous on Law and Order, but she did nothing for me. I liked neither her nor her character. When she grew her hair and got the lead on Crossing Jordan I fell in love with her during the pilot. Has she left her husband yet?

8. Name your five favorite rock bands of all time. The Beatles are number one by a ton. Today I’d add The Counting Crows, Gin Blossoms, Crosby, Stills and Nash (and Young) and Simon and Garfunkel. Ask tomorrow and I’d have four different runner ups.

9. If you were to start a new relationship (for whatever reason), how much of your sexual history would you share? Would you resort to lying? As little as possible. There isn’t much of an upside here. If the relationship got serious, that info could come back to haunt, big time. But no, I would never lie about it. Sam mustta done did a good job today. I didn’t complain once.

We’re glad that you stopped by today.
Enjoy your weekend.

Good Vibrations

Welcome to The Dating Profiles Meme. This meme is based on a feature from WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. This is a bit different than an “answer this question” meme. Either you have used sites such as Match.com or Yahoo Personals or you’ve read them. Weekly, we scour those on-line dating sites to respond either a person’s profile or often their headlines as most of us would really like to do. We use only “lines” that are gender-neutral. So, your mission is to respond to ten we choose each week. Seriously or with humor is your choice! The spelling or grammar errors were in the original profiles. Join us each and every Friday!

The Dating Profiles Meme: Good Vibrations

1. I try to be natural, positive and optimistic, never give up and always look into the future with hope and good vibration.

2. Good sense of fine humor. – Inspiring character. – Creative bent of mind. – Fun to be with. – Good dresser and great dancer. – Confident. – Love the finer things of life. – Caring.

3. I’m not looking at the current time, just enjoying the site and people.

4. Growing old is compulsory, growing up is optional.

5. I believe that I am drug and disease free (and so I expect the same).

6. I am but a simple person with a simple needs. I am looking for somebody whom I can get along with and anybody who will accept me simply the way I am.

7. Love is when you feel like you are on a cloud and floating !!!!

8. Well I am not perfect, which of us are?

9. I like to go out (but its not the be all or end all) as long as I can have a drink.

10. Hi im nice normal easy going, who enjoys the odd battle of witts!

Thank you for playing this week on The Dating Profiles Meme . Please leave a comment or link when you have posted. Feel free to stop back and visit other player’s posts. Have a great week. Join us for Sunday Stealing. See you next Friday!

It Would Have Happened By Now

Either you have used sites such as Match.com or Yahoo Personals or you’ve read them. Weekly, WTIT: The Blog scours those on-line dating sites to respond either ladies’ profiles or often their headlines as most of us would really like to do. (You can play this meme with Judd and click on the official The Dating Profile Meme!) The profile lines are in bold. Let the stupidity begin!

The Dating Profile Meme: Good Vibrations

1. I try to be natural, positive and optimistic, never give up and always look into the future with hope and good vibration. Hope and a vibrator sounds about right.

2. Good sense of fine humor. – Inspiring character. – Creative bent of mind. – Fun to be with. – Good dresser and great dancer. – Confident. – Love the finer things of life. – Caring. – Nuts. – Crazy. – Moron. – Go away.

3. I’m not looking at the current time, just enjoying the site and people. Why would someone pay to be on a dating site if they don’t want to date? Can you say PSYCHO?

4. Growing old is compulsory, growing up is optional. That’s good. I think if I were going to grow up, it would have happened by now.

5. I believe that I am drug and disease free (and so I expect the same). You believe? Why bother with those pesky tests when you can guess so well? Besides, you’re probably too stoned to remember.

6. I am but a simple person with a simple needs. I am looking for somebody whom I can get along with and anybody who will accept me simply the way I am. Maybe it’s me, but it does not sound simple.

7. Love is when you feel like you are on a cloud and floating !!!! No, that’s drunk. Love gives you an opportunity to learn how to “fair fight”.

8. Well I am not perfect, which of us are? Harriet told me that she was.

9. I like to go out (but its not the be all or end all) as long as I can have a drink. Waiter? Check!

10. Hi im nice normal easy going, who enjoys the odd battle of witts! Who need to know spelling and grammar when you have “witts”?

This feature and meme site was inspired by Mimi Lenox’s Dating Profile of the Day. Used with permission.

Thank you for dropping
by the WTIT Blog today.
Next time we might be excellent.
Check that, we also might not.
Time will tell.
But doesn’t it always?
We’re back with Crazy Sam’s Saturday 9.
Join us Saturday. Same time. Same blog.

Get Dressed, Your Husband’s Here

Posted in: Thursday Thunks. 20 Comments

On Thursday WTIT: The Blog does a meme called Thursday Thunks written by Berleen and Kimber. We always have a good time with them. So we are back again! All the meme questions are in bold.

Thurday Thunks: Insert Title of TT Here

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Berleen, the color of your keyboard, and the number 4579.

1. Who is the craziest person in your family? My Uncle Fred fashioned himself as an inventor. He thought he really had a winner with his wearable gum ball machine. Try as he would, no one ever noticed him trying to sell his gum. Fortunately his wife, my Aunt Maxine, worked as a prostitute part time. So when she went off duty, Uncle Fred would wear her wig and g-string to walk around selling gum. Sales went WAY up, but I always had the feeling that people bought the gum to make him go away. Go figure.

2. If you could make turtle shells any color you wanted, what color would turtles be? If? Don’t ask me “if”. I can make colored turtle shells. Recently my fav is my orange turtles that I allow to spawn in the Idiotwood Forest of southern Peru.

3. How fast do hotcakes sell? If my Uncle Fred wore his outfit while selling them, I would imagine they’d sell extremely quickly.

4. Can cannibals be arrested for being under the influence of alcohol if they have eaten someone who was drunk? This actually happened in Orgasmic, Illinois in 1997. A very laid back religious couple named Shirley and Earl McEat, were cannibals and grabbed a dead drunk from a car wreck and barbequed him. Earl’s blood alcohol level was so high that when the couple drove to Dairy Queen for dessert, they were pulled over and Earl was arrested for DUI.

5. If I had my legs amputated, would I have to change my height and weight on my driver’s license? Sorry, as tasteful as the question is, I am sorry that I am not familiar with the motor vehicle laws in Minnesota.

6. Where do people in Hell tell other people to go? Arizona. It’s hotter there.

7. Do you make stupid little baby noises when talking to your pets? Yet another meme that assumes that I will go buy a fucking pet just to answer a stupid question. As fate would have it, I only have my virtual dog Happy. As good looking as he is, he does not hear well. So, no baby noises or conversation with good ole Happy.

8. Is the light on in the room? Yes. So get dressed, your husband might catch us.

9. Did the voice tell you that the light is on in the room? You know, I think in hindsight that your kids’ questions are looking pretty good right now.

10. If you were to name an alcoholic drink, what would it be called? I’d say a Bud Weiser, but I hear it’s been taken. Damn thieving St. Louis people!

That’s a Thursday at the Tape Radio Blog.
WTIT: The Blog is back tomorrow.

The Clown’s Meme 2

Posted by Bud Weiser, WTIT on February 22, 2010
Posted in: Uncategorized. 5 Comments

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing. Sunday Stealing originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we also have our rules. First, we always credit the blog that we stole it from and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also provide a link to the victim’s post. (It’s our way of saying “Thanks!”) We do sometimes edit the original meme, usually to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, sometimes to select that meme’s best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from either this new meme or recently asked questions from a prior featured meme. Let’s go!

Today we ripped this meme off blogger named Boppo from the blog Boppo the Clown’s Journal. She states that she grabbed it at Drgncrystlwkr. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft’s thieves might take some time. It is a long meme, so we will do it in parts. Today is Part Two. If you missed last week, do them together today! Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

Cheers to all of us thieves!
