I saw it at Lisa's but didn't get a chance to do it. Now Diphtheria has done it and I feel, like, WAY behind time, so here goes:
1. First name? Duh. Check the "posted by" below.
2. Were you named after anyone? After my Dad''s best buddy in the Navy, whose firstborn was named after my Dad.
3. Last cry? While I was putting together this post.
4. Do you like your handwriting? No. Hell no. Calling it chickenscratch would be an insult to chickens.
5. What is your favorite lunch meat? Ham. Preferably with cheese, grilled.
6. Kids? Yeah, I like to josh around a lit... What? Oh. Two.
7. If you were another person, would you be friends with you? I suppose so.
8. Do you have a journal? No.
9. Do you use sarcasm a lot? Some. Probably not as much as I should.
10. Do you still have your tonsils? Yep.
Would you bungee jump? Yes. It's not high on my list of things to go looking for but if offered…
What is your favorite cereal? ?
Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? Not usually, but I open the velcro straps.
Do you think you are strong? I guess.
What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Homemade vanilla, preferably hand-cranked. If forced to buy in a store, chocolate chip cookie dough. But I do have a sentimental sweet spot for Thrifty Rocky Road on a cone.
Shoe size? 10-1/2
What is the least favorite thing about yourself? ?
Who do you miss the most? My parents. And right now, my auntie.
What color pants and shoes are you wearing? Blue pants, black shoes.
What are you listening to right now? The click of a keyboard.
If you were a crayon, what color would you be? ?
Favorite smell? Ribs on the barbecue.
Who was the last person you talked to on the phone? Don't know. Somebody at work.
The first thing you notice in a person you're attracted to. Cleavage.
Do you like the person who sent this to you? Well, since I stole it that would be me, so I suppose so.
Favorite drink? Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
Favorite sport? Hunting. If you feel compelled to restrict this to organized spectator sports, baseball.
Eye color? Green.
Hat size? Not a clue. Something close to average.
Do you wear contacts? No. Hell no. I've worn glasses since about second grade and I have a strong aversion to sticking objects in my eyes.
Favorite food? Meat. Pretty much any kind.
Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings, by which I mean lots of dead perps.
Last movie you watched at the theater? No idea. It's been years.
What color shirt are you wearing? White. T-shirt. I had on a blue shirt for work but I'm home now and I have a Sierra Nevada open.
Summer or winter? Winter. More hunting seasons open.
Hugs or kisses? I gotta choose?
Favorite dessert? Actually, I'm more of a salt-and-grease person than a dessert person but if forced to answer, it's homemade vanilla ice cream.
What books are you reading? The Bourne Supremacy in deadtree. On CD, I just finshed Sue Grafton's F is for Fugitive on the way home from work.
What's on your mouse pad? A Dilbert cartoon
What did you watch last night on TV? "Jeopardy" and "Family Guy"
What are your favorite sounds?
Rolling Stones or Beatles? Beatles. Duh. It might be a little closer call if the Stones had also quit in 1970.
The furthest you've been from home? Germany (to be more specific, the Neckar valley east of Mannheim; I didn't make it all the way to Bavaria).
Where were you born? La Grande, OR.
No specific tags. Steal it as you will
"After my Dad's best buddy in the Navy, whose firstborn was named after my Dad."
Ken,
That is the coolest answer to a meme I've ever heard. I don't even have the time to cut and paste your other answers I've adored. The best I can do is "ladies and gentlemen, this is the man I'm lucky enough to share a blog with."
It is cool, isn't it?
And thank you for the kind words, sweetness.

I thought we weren't supposed to answer that question honestly.
Posted by: Tainted Bill at September 23, 2006 05:26 AMThanks for answering "last cry?" honestly. I don't know that most guys would.
And I *love* Sue Grafton! :-)
Posted by: Julie at September 23, 2006 06:48 AMBill, I'm old enough to be permitted to answer it honestly.
Posted by: Ken S, Fifth String on the Banjo of Life at September 23, 2006 07:30 AMI answered it honestly once, to a girl I was friendly with who didn't have much cleavage.
Posted by: Tainted Bill at September 23, 2006 07:42 AMDamn. You're brutal.
Posted by: Ken S, Fifth String on the Banjo of Life at September 23, 2006 07:55 AMI didn't mean to be, I just didn't think before I answered. The beer had turned the self-censorship chip off.
Posted by: Tainted Bill at September 23, 2006 08:05 AMYeah, funny how that happens.
