Appetizer: Invent a new flower; give it a name and describe it.
The flower’s name would be Robaxibloom, and it would have magical back pain healing properties. I have been bed-ridden for most of this week, hence my lack of posts. About two hours after cleaning the garage on Sunday I developed an ache that has just gotten worse ever since and I think I’m going to have to hit the local ER soon if it doesn’t fade. It’s insane… and far worse than the pain from my official football back injury 16 years ago that kept me from playing for Wilfred Laurier/tying my own shoes for a month.
Soup: Name someone whom you think has a wonderful voice.
For singing and speaking my all time favorite is Dean martin. I have been honing a Dino impression for several years now and as a result have been paying a lot of attention to the little nuances. It’s like warm olive oil being poured over vanilla ice cream. And it sounds far better than it tastes.
Salad: On a scale of 1 to 10 how clean do you keep your car?
Inside, 9.5. Outside a 6 in the winter and a 9 in the summer. I keep it very clean as it’s the first decent car I’ve ever owned and I’d like to keep it looking pristine for as long as I have it. Plus, DNA evidence can really come back to haunt you.
Main Course: How do you feel about poetry?
Classic poetry, like the kind I had to read reams of in University, is wonderful stuff. Slam poetry is, in a word, retarded. I’d rather listen to Marc Smith writhing around in pain on a microphoned sheet of wax paper with a car battery attached to his nipples. Or Pearl Jam.
Dessert: What was the last person/place/thing you took a picture of?
My puppies, of course. They are very photogenic and I’m not going to force them upon my readers yet again. But, if you must know, they went to the vet this morning for their last immunization shot and are now allowed to visit dog parks, come with us into town, etc. They averaged about 12 pounds each and are nearly halfway to their full size and doghood. They met a beagle at the office today and seemed to really socialize well. I think we’ve got a pair of healthy, reasonably well adjusted pups on our hands. So far so good. Can you tell how much pain I am in by reading this dry white toast of a post? Must… get… horizontal…
Hey pallie Dave, you speak like such Dinotruth…….our Dino is the man. Cool that you have been workin’ on your Dinoemulation…and so cool that you have been workin’ on every little nuance of our great man…never was, never will be anyone as cool as the King of Cool….oh, to return to the days when Dino walked the earth….
It all started when I lived in England and had the Swingers soundtrack on the pub CD changer. I started to mimic Dino’s version of “King of the Road” and several of the locals said I had it down to a science. My favorite Dean song version to ape is “Send Me the Pillow That You Dream On”.
That’s so cool that you’re a huge fan of Dean Martin and are working on emulating him. There’s nobody cooler than Dino himself. He’s the coolest cat to ever walk this planet. Whether it was on records, at the movies, on the television, or on stage, nobody entertained quite like Dino. He’s the best.
Hey pallie Dave, dude like thanks so Dinomuch for droppin’ by the Dinoblog and leavin’ some Dinopatter….loves your Dinotale….keep up tryin’ to be more and more like our great man….no better way to follow then the Dinoway….
