Six Weird things before lunch - I've been tagged

[f4f3]

Once you're tagged you have to write a blog with six weird things/habits about yourself. Then you must choose six people to tag. You have to leave a comment for each telling them to read this blog and do this same thing... (I won't chain blog, but if any friend wants to pick up, feel free...)

1. I read comic books. On public transport. And I don't care (had great fun reading an avengers reprint book on my flight last night, and catching up on all that beautiful Rich Buckler and Barry Smith art)

2. Once I've addressed the ball, and just before I start my backswing, I tilt my wrists, closing the clubface and making it almost impossible to hit the ball properly. It cost me £20 to have the pro point that out to me.

3. I add ice to malt whisky on planes and in airport lounges, and nowhere else.

4. I have no urge to post pictures of my cat on my LiveJournal

5. I'm not afraid of intelligent women (I didn't think this was weird, but I was told yesterday that it is)

6. I support Partick Thistle

Glad it's not just me, then.

I caught myself glancing at our 19-year-old office helper-outer appreciatively the other day - and immediately wondered if I should report myself to the authorities. Eeek!

Plus side: don't most teenage guys occasionally flirt with the whole Mrs Robinson idea? Not-so-good side: OMG, Mrs Robinson!

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Eek! We have minds like two Welsh railways. (single track and dirty).

*smirks*

[unblinkered.livejournal.com]

You should have seen the previous helper-outer...an outrageous flirt! And I didn't even encourage him!

I could live with being Mrs Robinson if I can look like Anne Bancroft, you know...

Although not so much if I end up looking like Striker's mom!

*apologises to f4f3 for hijacking his thread*

Hey, just you tell me where the two of you want to land it...

[itchyfidget.livejournal.com]

Somewhere warm and sunny, with cocktails?

[unblinkered.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan...

Hmm, I hear Cuba is nice this time of year... and such a traditional destination.

"Well, I went home with the waitress
The way I always do
How was I to know
She was with the Russians, too?

I was gambling in Havana
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money
Dad, get me out of this"

[itchyfidget.livejournal.com]

As long as you look like Anne Bancroft then, and not now, it's all good :)

I don't think we're quite at the MILF stage yet, personally. Give it another twenty years (well, in my case, never, but YWKIM).

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

I'm vaguely disturbed that MILF has entered the patois. But then, I'm just an old fuddy-duddy.

[itchyfidget.livejournal.com]

Blame the Weitz brothers.

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Who they? (reinforcing his fuddy-dudeishness). Isn't that a brilliant typo? I'm keeping it.)

F4F3, the fuddy dude...

[rparvaaz.livejournal.com]

What is MILF?

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

....and NOT answering that one at all....

[unblinkered.livejournal.com]

*Stifler's mom ...not sure where my brain went there....

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Brain? American Pie? Hello?

[itchyfidget.livejournal.com]

Oh no, now I'm caught in a tailspin of "Stifler's Mom/has got it goin' on ... " (Fountains of Wayne, only not quite).

Aaaaaaaargh!

*runs and jumps out of window with hair on fire*

I'm not sure of all this older women stuff is representative of my journal. Are you trying to traduce me, Itchyfidget?

[unblinkered.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's better than the Benny Hill chasing-scantily-clad-girls tune that I have in my head now.

Also, lunchtime is now over so quit making me laugh! I'll get fired!

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Relax, women have it easy. Let's face it, Mrs Robinson is a much better role model than Benny Hill...

[itchyfidget.livejournal.com]

That's the male option, Benny Hill?

What about Harrison Ford and the plethora of other Hott Older Men?

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

Or Sean Connery... I suppose it shows up my own thinking on the subject, although I fully intend to go the Cary Grant route myself.

I'd be quite happy to be the lecherous uncle in High Society, since he seemed to be having a good time.

[itchyfidget.livejournal.com]

Sean Connery really doesn't do it for me, 'fraid. You could do a lot worse than Old Cary Grant :)

I haven't seen High Society, though I did watch The Philadelphia Story again the other night, for the umpteenth time :)

[f4f3.livejournal.com]

I think the same character is there - he impersonates Tracey's Dad until he shows up.
