Talk to the Goat
Going for the obit thing, because the paint on my bathroom ceiling is peeling and I don't want to talk about it.
Here goes:
anne - lived, breathed... And then the cow just stopped.
How are you? Great blog. I like the interactive thing you got going on. Take care.
#3...
Once upon a blue moon - Mariah Carey.
- Rosanna Arquette and
- Frenchy from Greece
LOL
Cute post idea btw.
Cheers,
Raida
1. sunday comics
2. anything my wife cooks
3. Tom Hanks (erroniously)
4. No such shots
5. He lived, he loved, he died.
1. Any current book, different every week
2. Where do I start? Currently pizza, buffets kill me.
3. I used to get comments about Kevin Bacon
4. Sorry no glamour shots, my head would never fit.
5. No pants, No shirt, Here lies AWE in the dirt.
I'm going for a hat trick -
1) I can't read in the bathroom - I don't want to be in there any longer than I have to - and there's that Seinfeld episode where George has to buy the book he took into the bathroom.
2) Olives - black or green - I would put them on breakfast cereal if it wouldn't make people think I'm weirder than I am.
and
3) Gina Davis or the dark haired daughter on "Too Close for Comfort" - both are SO not right.
My bathroom reading consists of Archie comics.
I have never been compared to a celebrity. Wait. Wait, I've changed my mind. I am a celebrity.
I'll take something from my profile to write my obituary:
"Missy is no longer responsible for the acts of God."
Why not do 'em all?
1) don't really read anything in the bathroom. I'd rather doodle cartoons in a notepad.
2) I am secretly over fond of garlic bread and pasta with some sort of rich sauce. I will die of a heart attack.
3) In highschool I was told I look like Janeane Garofalo. I don't think I look like her but I do think she's funny.
4) nope, never done the glamour shot thing but I've made fun of some friends who had them done.
5) I hope this week ends quickly.
1 - Usually the mail
2 - Cheese tortellini with a marinara sauce with a table spoon of mascarpone cheese, topped with cheese and baked until the cheese is bubbling - I am soo hungry right now
3 - Some jerk told me I look like Rosie O'Donnell's skinnier younger sister. He was an asshat.
4 - Thank heavens no.
5 - Gotta think this one over a bit.
Let's go with #2 Alex,
I've been craving these cookies from Panera known as the Chocolate Duet Cookie with Walnuts. they are just delicious
I hate answering the celeb question only because I sound like such a complete and utter liar. But here goes:
Back when I was in college (and had my hair cut uber short) I was constantly informed that I resemebled Halle Berry. Often by complete strangers. It amazed even me.
Oh, and on the secret food front? I eat cranberry sauce straight out of the can. Hey, you asked! 
I'll pick and choose a couple here:
1)Sometimes a book I'm already reading, other times I'm looking at various catalogs. My favorite is Sharper Image.
3)Everyone says I look like Dean Cain.
5)Like the Phoenix, He survived death twice. Too bad death came a third time.
A stewardess once compared me to James Dean, but I think one of us was drunk at the time.
#3 - a while back someone said I looked like one of the guys in Smashing Pumpkins (I'm assuming the guy who shaves his head) but I never really checked.
1. Shampoo Bottles
2. Right Now it's been Ding Dongs
3. Bette Midler and Courtney Throne Smith
4. Never
5. Friend to many. Dead because she didn't exercise enough.
1. Old fashion magazines from my younger years.
2. Wheat Thins
3. Gabrielle Reese (with brown hair)
4. Sadly, I have never had a glamour shot taken, though they are the source of much high comedy. I too have never seen one that did NOT make me laugh.
5. She came. She saw. She was conquered by none.
I decided to play this game my own way:
I've been reading Walt Whitman on the toilet lately. Sorry, Walt. I don't mean any disrespect, I just like the way poetry sounds when you read it out loud in the bathroom. It's all reverberaty and stuff. Shut up. That is too a word.
Potential Comment #1: Please use the word reverberaty in a sentence without using the word vibrator.
I have lately been overdosing on good Italian bread. I know bread has lately gone out of style due to carb-counting psychotics, but I love the stuff. Greatest stuff since sliced bread. Jason is always a little awed and a little afraid when I get my hands on any kind of dinner roll or crustini. Dinner rolls (or buns, as we called them) were a rare commodity during my childhood, and butter was even scarcer. We had no-name loaves and no-name margarine. When we went to dinner at my grandmother's, she'd have baked ham and meatballs, mashed potatoes, peas and carrots, salad....but my sisters and I would fill up on bread and butter. REAL bread and REAL butter. Now I have the opportunity to buy and eat as much of the stuff as I want...which is exactly why I don't, or not often. My will power with bread is zilch. I fear that I could sit down and tear chunks off one after the other, and not stop until I hit the bottom of the bag. It's a sickness, I'm sure. A terrible but delicious sickness.
Potential Comment #2: How did you first know you were ill?
The lovely Ms. Mac has further proved her need for glasses by suggesting I bear a passing resemblance to Brokeback's Michelle Williams. Of course, now that I have shaved my head, I probably more closely resemble her baby daddy, Heath Ledger, also of gay cowboy fame.
Years ago, a colleague told Jason he looked like Joaquin Phoenix which is a load of baloney. I told Jason that Joaquin had nothing on him, but it wasn't until a few years later, when Joaquin started to become famous that Jason said to me "That's Joaquin Phoenix? I thought he was some chubby hispanic dude!"
Potential comment #3: What is your worst Oscar moment?
I was wondering the other day....does anyone ever do the Glamour Shots thing and not regret it? Do we really believe that having a picture of ourselves with teased hair and a feather boa around our necks will add glamour to our measly lives? I cannot believe that someone got rich on this beastly idea, and I have never seen a Glamour Shot that I didn't laugh at...hard.
Potential comment #4:What is the sleaziest get-rich-quick program you have ever invented?
I was thinking the other day that I had better write my own obituary, because if Jason survives me, I am going to go down in history as the lady who made good cheesecake, warmed hands expertly on my little lovehandles, and was overly vigilant about the 'no-crumbies-in-bed' rule.
Potential comment #5: What would you be thinking on the way down if you were accidentally defenestrated?
Your obit is my favorite. Warming hands is a very important skill, ya know.
#4
I bear a resemblance to Eric Stoltz.
I'll do No. 1 because it's easy:
I never ever read in the bathroom. Sometimes you will find a Cabela's catalog in there but that is my boyfriend's, NOT mine!
1. Golf magazine
2. No secrets here. Dunkin Donuts Bavarian Creams
3. Mr Ed
4. Nope. Just nudes. Wanna trade?
5. Mrs Right caught him with Miss Wrong. Came and went.
1 - Camping/canoeing/nintendo magazines. Crossword Puzzles
2 - Sushi and Bread. Never at the same time.
3 - Will Smith. Jon Secada.
4 - Never
5 - We will miss him until we throw larger objects.
1. Bathroom reading is usually whatever book I'm on at the time or the newspaper.
2. I too am overly fond of bread. Any antying you can put on top of bread, salami, cheese, dip it in oil, you name it.
3. I've not been compared to any celebrities. They don't measure up to me.
4. Nope. The Wife has, however. See my site for the result.
5. Survived by Wife, 2 Kids, and 6 guitars.
i read jon stewart's book "america." it actually references the fact that it's a book tailor made for reading on the shitter.
e+
Jamie, what a great holiday.
1 - The current bathroom reads are (1) Even Cowgirls Get the Blues - Tom Robbins, and (2) The alchemist - Paulo Coeho.
2 - There has been an extended absense of my obsessed food, which is the eggrolls made by my mom. They are deliciously delicious. they're greasy and full of goodness.
3 - Freakin' Molly Ringwald. A close second is Annoe Lennox. I mean, right? You can see the resemblance between the two of then, can't you?
4 - Nai. Couldn't do it. I don't take myself seriously enough as it is..
5 - Loyal to the end.
1. Whatever book I'm reading at the time (which I also read when I dry my hair... drying my hair is very boring if I'm not reading a book).
2. French fries! French fries! French fries! Oh wait, you said "secretly"...
3. Emily Watson. I get it so often that I don't think it can be erroneous.
4. Nope! Thank god!
5. Don't need one, as I never plan to die. =)
#1 the current book (whatever it may be - at the moment it is Ruth Park) or an Old Scientist (back issue of 'New Scientist) or the newspaper...
great idea there Jay...
1.) No reading in the bathroom. I do, however, compose poems using the magnetic poetry on the washing machine directly in front of the toilet...
2.) I LOVE cheese. I am a CHEESEMONGER. My current favorite is smoked Gouda from the local market. Yum.
3.) People have, ever-so-erroneously, told me that I resemble Nicole Kidman. (btw- thanks guys- it's good for my ego )
4.) No glamour shots... but some seriously funny looking grad pics from high school...
5.) Swimming against the current was exhausting but worth it.
I always get here late. Are you in a different time zone or something?
#1 I'm too fast in the bathroom to read. Must be the high fiber thing.
#2 Peanut butter. Jars of it. With a spoon. Used to be Cashew butter but I ODed to the point of developing an allergy to it.
#3 IDK, some Hobbit or something?
#4 No glamour shot but my publicity photos also tend to make be laugh out loud at myself.
#5 Only ten words? No can do. Okay here's a shot: He was born. He lived life fully. He dug it.
I like this idea to get comments. In a few weeks I think I'll steal it. It beats getting a tattoe. I don't know about my obit but my tombstone will say.
"vacant-Owner decided not to stay"
So people tell me i'm like Nana Mascouri (1970's famed- Greek singer) and when I was a teen-mates said I was like Betty Boo-early 90's Brit singer with a neat black bob who was famed for doing the doo.
Agree with you about the crumbies- get em out of the lurve arena
Bathroom reading? Newspaper...boring. I know.
Food over-fond of? Crab legs. MMMMM
Yes, I've had glamor shots done. I don't proudly display it, but my mom does, giving my hubby a boner every time he walks down her hallway.
#1 - I don't do bathroom reading - I do my business and get out!
#2 - Mixed nuts! fucking yum!
#3 - apparently Lisa Kudrow which is absolutely wacky!
#4 - yes, when I was a calendar girl I had a glamour shots thing done...I look absolutely dreadful in it.
#5 - she liked to get high, but now she's so low.
I am 100% with you on the glamour shots. I am a reformed bread junkie yet not part of the anti carb militia.
Once my dad was driving us back from the market and I ripped the end off of the Italian bread, reached my hand in the middle and ate it all before we arrived home. It was nothing but a bread sleeve. Good times.
Lois Lane
Potential Comment #1: Of what does your bathroom reading consist?
Magazines like Which? The National Enquirer, Psychologies, Zest and LighterLife. I don't like to spend longer than necessary on the bog, so the reading matter is mainly for bathtimes.
Potential Comment #2: Of what food(s) are you secretly over-fond?
Secretly, none. Openly, anything that says, "Ben & Jerry's" on it.
Potential comment #3: To which celebrity, erroneously or not, are you most often compared?
Rosie O'Donnell, Dawn French and Nicole Kidman. The first two because I'm fat and the last one because.... I don't know, some people have said our eyes are similar.
Potential comment #4: Fess up - ever had a glamour shot taken? Lived to regret it, or still frame it proudly? Brave enough to post a link?
No. I wouldn't be embarrassed if I had though. I'm not sure glamour shots of people like me get much of a public... although there are some sick people out there.
Potential comment #5: Write your own obit in 10 words or less.
She was born
She was largely ignored
She was large
She died
i'm fond of baked goods, but i don't know if it's still a secret. i ate an entire coconut cream pie in the past 12 hours.
I'M NOT JOKING.
help.
alright, so it's now Tuesday. Can I still leave a comment?
My favorite bathroom reading is Playboy. Seriously, the articles REALLY are good. The pictures aren't terrible either.
I'm overfond of too many foods to mention.
Never had a glamour shot, and have never really been compared to a celebrity. The obit thing is too much to handle on short notice...
No Glamour Shots here, thank God. I did have a photographer friend take lingerie and a naked pic of me for dh many years ago. :o)
1) I look at photo albums in the bathroom actually. I know, I'm a freak.
2) I not-so-secretly love chocolate-covered almonds. Which sucks 'cause I'm not eating chocolate for lent, EEK!
3) People have said Christina Ricci. Not so much anymore.
4) Nope, no glamour shots here. I've always secretly wanted to though...
5) She loved her friends, she loved chocolate. Amen.
#1: Levenger Catalogs, mind numbing smut, Elizabeth Lowell novels and the like.
#2: My love for hot sauce/salsa is no secret. It is a food group. Mmmm with warm chips or flour tortillas.
#3: I have one of those everyday “Hey, you look like my cousin/my best friend/my client at the hair salon/this chick I knew in high school/Paula Jones with a nose job…” type of faces.
#4: I have had a glamour shot taken. And no, you may not see it.
#5: She was young, she needed the money.
Some people insist that I look like Ethan Hawke. Other have pointed out that I have Hugh Grantish moments. Strange, I know.
I did a glamour shot Jay. Never once regretted it. In fact I have it posted on my flickr account. But then, it was done during the height of poofy hair fashion. Although I did opt for a cowboy hat instead of a feather boa. (Feather boas are so....ewwww! Unless you're 8 yrs old and enjoy playing dress-up)
Great idea for a Monday Jay!
3T
1. Packaging on the toilet paper.
2. Toenails.
3. A lot of people email me with, "I saw this article about George Clooney and thought of you....." I suppose that doesn't really count but it makes for interesting typing!
4. No, never. However, I always look fabulous in photos so it looks as though I have.
5. She tried again on Monday.
I still reckon you look like Michelle Williams, although it would appear that nobody else does. The good news is that my new specs are ready to be collected!
great! looking forward to editing the wiki
