The tag from Beth
Beth has thrown down the gauntlet to anyone who wants to answer some questions. I don't have anything that is very interesting to say, and truth be told I have been quite down lately. So maybe this will perk me up!
Were you named after anyone?
My dads name was Jack Clifford Hull. I was somewhat named after him with Jack Christopher Hull. But they didn't like a kid being called junior (so why the same first name?), so I was called by my middle name of Chris. Later in high school, mom had it legally changed to just the first initial J. Christopher Hull, to avoid confusion with my dad as far as legal papers are concerned. Everywhere it says that name now, but the drivers license still says Jack, they never could get that right!
When was the last time you cried?
Like Beth it was during the coverage of Tim Russarts death. Two seperate times, when Matt Laur choked up, then when Tom Brokow broke down.
Do you like your handwriting?
Actually, due to having to print most of my adult life, I can't even write in cursive anymore. So, no, I hate my writing.
What’s your favorite lunch meat?
Is burger considered a lunch meat?
Do you have kids?
One son who gets talked about around here, and two dogs.
If you were another person, would you be friends with you?
I think so, if my other persona has the same twisted sense of humor that I do!
Do you use sarcasm a lot?
Who me? Like, duh!
Do you still have your tonsils?
No, I had to pawn them during a rough patch in my life.
Would you bungee jump?
Sure, I love things like that!
Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
Yes I do, I also unzip my pants, or untie the drawstring on my sweats.
Do you think you’re strong?
I think so, of course it depends on how you mean strong. Physically, I have great stamina, but not great strength. Mentally, my powers of concentration are what legends are....oh look, a shiny thing!
What’s the first thing you notice about a person?
Face, the eyes generally, then if it is a women, I always check out her ass. I am an ass man.

Cool. I didn't know that you had been in the Navy.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen that PBS documentary mini-series called Carrier? I had no idea what it was like to live on a ship before I watched it. I have a great deal of respect for those folks now.
I hope doing this perked you up! Down times take their toll. I guess without them the good wouldn't feel so damn great. Hang on.
ReplyDeleteI'll take a crack at this. I truly enjoyed yours.
Be well.
Nicely done, but I want to hear more about this shiny thing you mentioned...
ReplyDeleteI love the plaid crayon!
ReplyDeleteI admire people who can harmonize. I can hit a fifth in some keys, but it's rare. I've been in bands so desperate for harmonies they've actually rewritten songs into a different key so I could sing the one note I can hit. Harmonizing is a rare talent, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI love it when people do these. I learn a lot about them. Yours not so much.
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, just kidding! I enjoyed reading this.
What's the going rate for tonsils these days, because you know, mine are just lying around.
ReplyDeleteI like pink... What's so wrong with it?
ReplyDeleteSo is the ASSMAN plate taken in Colorado?!
ReplyDeletePlaid....you're too funny. Sorry you're feeling down - what's up?
ReplyDeletegreat answers. I hope all is well at your place. : )
ReplyDeleteLady: Yes, I was in for 4 years. I was on a destroyer, and we went everywhere with a carrier acting as it's screening vessel.
ReplyDeleteSG: I went to look at the shiney object and got distracted by something else, damnit!
Beth: My second favorite color is clear.
Chris: Thanks! I would love to hear more about you being in a band.
Falwless: Then I tag you in particular! Your life just has to be more interesting than mine...
Kirby: I didn't so much trade them for money as, well, drugs...
Captain: Only you could pull it off dude.
GKL: Even if it was available, my good wife would never go for it.
Suze: Thanks, I will email you later.
Teri: It's fun to do these.
Nice list. I too share my father's name but in reverse. His middle name is my first name and my middle name was his first. Less confusing I suppose.
ReplyDeleteYou have a son? I must have skimmed over that before, I guess.
I also miss my dad....hug.
