Blame Tara
Yes, it’s meme time again. And for that, you can blame Tara. I am contractually obligated to agree to anything she demands, so yeah, here we go. I’ll try and make it fun by inserting random lies. It’s up to you to figure out what’s true and what’s not.
1. Who is the hottest movie star?
Figures that the celeb-obsessed Tara would put THIS on a list. Bea Arthur WAS on my list, but she passed away recently, and that would be in poor taste. I don’t have a particular favorite, but some of the actresses I think are attractive include Rachel Wiesz, Keira Knightley, Emilie de Ravin. Hm, not a single American among them. Must be the accents.
2. Apart from your house and your car, what’s the most expensive item you’ve ever bought?
A time machine. It only works once, though. And I wasted it on going back in time to the moment where I was tagged with this meme. In the original time line, I ignored it which led to a chain of events which led to the end of the universe as we know it. I can’t explain why, but needless to say, I HAD to come back and Quantum Leapify this thing and right what went wrong.
3. What’s your most treasured memory?
Becoming a father. Yeah, I know, that’s the expected answer, but it’s true.
4. What was the best gift you ever received as a child?
My stuffed toy dog, Henry. I still have him, though he’s not in good shape these days. He’s better behaved than my cats, though.
5. What’s the biggest mistake you’ve made?
This time I arranged a date with what I thought was a beautiful woman. Turned out to be a guy in drag. You see, I needed a date to bring to my prom, so I did what any other high school kid would do, I called an escort service. All the high end attractive girls were way out of my price range, though. So, I asked what I could get for $25. They said they could give me what they called The Discount Package. Little did I know my date would be a guy! Boy, was my face red. On the upside, he was a good dancer and he did put out.
And that’s the entirely true story of how I met Dave Fowler.
6. 4 words to describe yourself.
Creative, pensive, funny, caring, honest, argumentative. Oh, you said four? You think I’m going to follow your rules just because you made them? Think again, Tara! Wanna make something of it?
7. What was your highlight or lowlight of 2008?
Losing my job. Man, that was awesome!
The actual highlight is not one moment but a collection of them including each time my son says, “come, daddy” when he asks me to go somewhere with him. Meeting Sean Platt was up there, too.
8. Favourite film?
Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo… Or Magnolia. They’re so similar.
9. Tell me one thing I don’t know about you.
Writer Dad, Dave Fowler and myself are all one person. One incredibly busy person. Okay, the truth is that I am in fact, Hugh Jackman. I like to get away from all that Hollywood stuff, though, and slum it with the other blogger mommies and daddies. I like to think that it keeps me grounded. My PA (personal assistant, for you non celebs) and my butler say I don’t really need to slum it, though, as I’m a pretty grounded guy as is. In addition to being incredibly good looking and incredibly modest.
10. If you were a comic book/strip or cartoon character, who would you be?
Underdog. Just so I can have an excuse to play my theme song whenever I fly through the air or foil capers.
Now, the fun part. I’m gonna pass this on to eight of you lucky readers.
Tracy O’Connor, Patricia, Dan Miranda, Dave Fowler, Mike Goad, Marc, Matthew Dryden, and Kool Aid
Like what you see here? And no, I’m not talking about the naked Hugh Jackman shot. Then tweet it!

They’re all lies. Now, what do I win? A pimped out Thesis Theme? Your crusty old stuffed dog? Hugh Jackman’s French Knickers? A slap on the legs from Tara?
Dave Fowlers last blog post..Phil Phillips: Sea Of Love
Me, I have a hard time telling Magnolia apart from the latest Garfield Movie. Weird.
I never thought of it before, but filling memes with random lies is like an instant way to make them awesome.
Writer Dads last blog post..A Mother’s Day Poem
Ack! I can’t do this meme, how am I going to top the true story of how you met Dave Fowler?!
Foiling stuff is awesome. Both meanings of the word.
Tracy O’Connors last blog post..A couple of announcements and requests
Everything is a lie apart from the time machine and the Dave Fowler story (though that picture of Sean from his school days springs to mind here for some reason).
Even the cake is a lie – cookie to the first person to identify this quote. C’mon fellow geeks, out of the Blogger Dad woodwork with you.
Blogger Dad, that was just fabulous. Really, it takes something to write such a bloody funny meme. Am now all chuffed that I got the kudos for this and all I had to do was say ‘you’re it’.
I had NO idea that is how you and DF met, however slightly confused over the later revelation that you are in fact DF too so am wondering if you are trying to tell us something . . .
Just had to come back to look at that pic of Huge Jackman. Did I say Huge? I meant Hugh.
Grrrrr
Don’t know what it is about this post but I can’t help coming back. Again.
(**puts head in hands and sssssighs**)
Of course David, Sean and I are the same person. Visit our personal blog at TeachMyCollectiveSelfishPenguinDadGhostBloggerBlueprintInkwellWriterChildrenPottyTraining.com

Tara, you know that BloggerDad isn’t really Huge Packman, don’t you?
Anyway the picture above looks more like one of the Bee Gees.

Ok, ok, a meme – are you going to show me how to do it? will it pop up in my email or do I just copy down the information here? Shows you how much I know!..
Underdog – Hugh Jackman
I am contemplating that those are the creatively made up answers?
Patricias last blog post..Relationships and the Role of Boundaries
Dave – yes, every word is a lie. I’ll pimp your theme anytime, dude.
Writer Dad – You think this is something, you should see the R-rated versions that I send back to my friends when they send me these things!
Tracy – You can tell the story of how YOU met Dave Fowler. I think a lot of people would be interested in that thing that went down in China town.
Marc – Even the cake is a lie? I don’t know that line. And yes, you are correct, sir. The time machine is quite true. I would never lie about time travel. Again.
Tara – Thanks. When you say it takes “something” to write such a bloody funny post, do you mean to imply that I am mentally impaired? And yes, you got me. I am suffering from multiple personality disorder. But that’s okay. I take a pill and everything is okay. Except the voices. Always with the voices.
Tara – If I knew that all it took to get you to come her more often was to post half naked Huge Jackass, er, I mean, Hugh Jackman pics up, I would have done it years ago.
Dave – Well, now you did it, you broke my damn column!
Patricia – All you need to do is cut and paste the questions and then plug in your own answers. I could reveal which answers were the lies, but that would take the fun out of it.
Dan – Funny, the last two posts I wrote might be the quickest I’ve ever written, with very little thought or editing and you consider THEM ? the funniest? Either I am impairing my genius with edits or you are easily amused. Thank you in either event for digging it.
Hilarious. I thought it was impossible to top the last post, but this one just about did it.
You lost me at Hugh Jackman.
Very fun stuff.
Jens last blog post..you did what at your wedding?
Mmm…Hugh Jackman…drool…
Huh? Wha…? Did you write somethin’?
Shade and Sweetwater,
K
Kyddryns last blog post..Psst…
Dave – Sorry, somehow your message was seen as spam. Maybe because you linked the Bee Gees! The fact that you even knew where to find this photo scares me so much.
Jen & Kyddryn – Now, control yourselves, ladies.
It was Google.
And Hugh really does look like one of the Bee Gees!
Dave Fowlers last blog post..Phil Phillips: Sea Of Love
UGH. Don’t make me do this one.
(Magnolia was pretty sweet.)
