Just Call Me Casey Kasem

OK, so I've been tagged to do The Countdown Survey. I was actually tagged earlier in the week, but I've been quite lazy at the blog. Not lazy anywhere else, though, my dennette is blissfully clean, I made a Sauerkraut Band collage for the wall, and I've done various and sundry other things on my precious days off. Today was the last day, sadly, and I spent it basically doing sod-all. A real testament to sloth, the subject of another survey I did last week.

And so, without further ado - oh, and let me say that ALL of my answers to this survey are in random order, so if you thought something was my favorite and it's not at the #1 position, or you're upset that you're not #1 on my friends list, do not be alarmed - let's get to it.

Betland's Olympic Update:
* May I just announce that one of my readers (well, possibly more, but one has proved it beyond a shadow of a doubt) is a true fucking genius? Venice has used her journalistic skills to give me the name and phone number of the owners of the House to the North. So I am armed with this in case things don't improve and I find myself going over the deep end.
* OK, maybe the survey wasn't so easy - I've already had to change two answers. Well, one was because I put "The Music Man" in twice.

Oh, shit. And I left off hard liquor too! (Actually, I've only had crab rangoons once post-surgery, and they were a little greasy. But they still should have been on there.)

Hee. I like your foods list: "chicken. salad. chicken in a salad". Actually, sub out the cheetos, meat loaf and mahi-mahi for peanuts, yogurt and strawberries you have my entire diet in a nutshell.

Technical point -- does Amazon count? Or do they mean brick-and-mortar (okay, concrete and steel beam) store?

Never, ever be worried about the thing you worry about most. Life is way to short to worry about that, and how can you be the nosy lady next door without doing it from time time? The phrase is not 'making a fool' -- it's "being gloriously eccentric".
