The End Justifies the Memes
Okay, I’ve said before that I’m really not into the whole “meme” thing. And I still have yet for someone to actually define the the word (although I can get the gist form context) for me, let alone figure how to pronounce it. Is it “mee-mee” or “mim” or “meem”? Or none of these?
I will take part in these blog viruses when I come across one that is intriguing, has an interesting format, or is different in some way. I ran across a meme that fits this criteria on Spankey’s site. I liked it because it has the potential to be very interactive and as each blog gets infected with it, it will turn out different. Almost like an epidemic but everyone has different symptoms.
As all memes do, this one comes with a set of rules/ instructions:
1. If you want to participate, leave a comment below saying “Interview me.” (”Blow me” or “Eat me” are not acceptable substitutes.)
2. I will respond by asking you five questions - each person’s will be different. I’ll post the questions in the comments section of this post.
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview others in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
So, here are the five questions (with answers) that Spankey asked of me:
1) You’ve just won $2.5 million playing the lottery! How are you gonna spend it?
I probably would not spend all that much of it at first. The only big purchase I would make would be to get me a Dodge Ram truck (black). I think that even if I was ever rich, I would would still spend like a person who isn’t. Even now there is stuff I could probably afford, but I can’t bring myself to pay its ridiulous price. Like underwear. Even though I really like the way they feel and fit, I can’t bring myself to pay for one pair of Calvin Klein when I can get three pair of Hanes for the same price. (but I will and have accepted them as gifts! 
) So, I guess I would probably put away a lot of the money as a safety net in case of Granny’s insurance running out or something. Boring, I know.
2) What specific instance occurred that made you realize that you are gay?
I can’t say I had a clear defining moment. But I guess it was around the time I realized that I was wanted the girls that I fucked to go away when we were done, but I wanted to stay in close physical contact with the guys. Not necessarily anything sexual or even cuddling. Just sitting near each other with our shoulders touching was enough.
3) What’s your favorite fruit?
Granny Smith Apples or Bananas. But bananas make you fart.
4) If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
I don’t know how to answer this one because I really haven’t been much of anywhere to make a comparison. But it would definitely be a place where it is quiet; there is lots of greenery and fresh water; where a good-sized city was nearby (but not too big); and where I could at least dial up the Vol Network on the radio on Saturdays.
5) Would you rather be a zombie or a vampire? Feel free to elaborate on your reasoning for the choice…
Definitely a vampire. Vampires, by all appearances, just seem like normal people…normal people who could use a good tan and orthodontia (sp?), anyway. They can pump gas, go to the mall (at least on cloudy days), and cook dinner just like anybody else. Zombies are walking lumps of rotting flesh. They wouldn’t even be allowed in a convenience store. “No shoes, no flesh, no service.” Plus, I’ll bet that vampires get laid more. Nobody wants to have sex with somebody who going to just lay there like…well, like a zombie.
So, there you have it. Anyone who wants to take part, you’ve read what to do.

Fuck Me! Well it wasn’t on the list of unacceptable. LOL
But I don’t want to be interviewed though. I wouldn’t know what questions to ask of other people.
July 26th, 2005 at 6:37 am
Alright, I’ll play…….please interview me.
July 26th, 2005 at 8:13 am
LOL! Good answers Tony… I feel like I know you sooo much better now!
It’s pronounced ‘meam‘… according to the ‘Feast of Fools Podcast’. I think Fausto and Mark probably researched it… I don’t know for sure though.
I had the same idea about the $2.5 million. Just replace ‘Granny’ with ‘Mom’ and ‘Dodge Ram truck’ with ‘Ford F-150 Lightning (white)’ and you have my answer to that question too.
Bananas give you the farts… some of us don’t have that particular issue with bananas. LOL!
Might I suggest the Portland, OR metropolitan area to live when you finally get to move wherever you want… I think that fits all your criteria.
Anyway- thanks for letting me ‘interview’ you…
Ciao!

Easy to say you would not spend a lot from your lottery win when you haven’t been anywhere yet. There are lots of cool places to go in both the USA and elsewhere in the world, many of which fit the criteria in question 4. I hope you do get to travel sometime.
