This week's blog comes to you from the frigid winter wasteland in the center of our great nation that is known as the great Midwest. My Delicious Tour is playing at 65 colleges in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and every corner of the great state of Michigan. Tonight an ice storm is hitting Evansville, Indiana, and as I curl up with my laptop in my comfort select sleeper number bed -- set softly at 30 -- I check my Facebookfor the 153rd time today, and at least 20 of my Facebook friends have tagged me to complete a list of "25 Random Things About Me." I will use brevity as the soul of my wit and only bore you with 16.
So here is what I like to call: My Super Sweet 16Random Things About Me
1. I love talking about me - even if it is supposed to be random. I spend lots of time with me. I have lived with me, vacationed with me, and even though I'm hard to talk to sometimes, I like me.
2. I drink pickle juice. Right out of the jar. Deal with it.
3. My sister makes the best raspberry thumbprint cookies I have ever eaten. And every year for my birthday she makes this strawberry cake with a Doberge icing that is so super scrumdiddilyumptuous that I almost forgive her for ruining my first pair of Nike's by dumping me out of a wheel barrow into a pile of cow dung on Aunt Evelyn's catfish farm in 1982.
4. If I see a clock that says 11:11, I always close my eyes and make a wish, but I only think the wish will come true if when I open my eyes it says 11:12.
5. I will rinse off my plate, but for some reason never take the time to put it in the dishwasher, and my mother thinks it's because she ate too many red M&M's while she was pregnant with me.
6. I don't care for the movies of Bridget Fonda, but Jane is a rockin' hottie.
7. I like to watch the same 5 or 6 movies over and over again, slowly introducing new ones into the rotation. I can't decide what I think the theme is....
Right now they are:
The Babe (Baseball, not pig)
Devil Wears Prada (Meryl is God)
Talladega Nights (If you don't chew Big Red, then fuck you)
Bullets Over Broadway (Allen gives me a woody)
The Aviator (Hercules! Hercules!)
and To Die For (Nicole Kidman at her best)
8. In first grade I swallowed one of those gold stars the teacher gave me and was delighted when I saw it come out in my poop.
9. My favorite book is Hope for the Flowers followed closely by Blubber and Well of Loneliness
10. My dream is to have dinner with Dolly Parton, Jane Lynch, Kathy Najimy, Lily Tomlin and Carol Burnett. I'd serve Chicken 'n Biscuits with baby carrots & peas and we'd laugh while we ate peach cobbler on the porch. Then we'd play a wicked game of light-as-a-feather stiff-as-a-board and try to contact Gilda Radner & Lucille Ball on the Ouija Board.
11. I naturally wake up around 6 AM every morning. I use that time before everyone wakes up to watch episodes of "Snapped" that I TiVo'd the night before.
12. I am strangely attracted to Virgo women. And it never goes well.....
13. I have wrecked both of my parent's cars at some point. And never told them.
14. The thought that there could be life on Mars freaks me out, but I would certainly like to believe that humans aren't all there is.....
15. I have received letters from Presidents, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and George H Bush, but only Bush sent me an autographed picture along with it.
16. My wife has the prettiest brown eyes I have ever seen. For real. You can just see right into her sweet amazing heart. Plus she's got delicious ta-tas :)
