Meme: Self-tagged Interview
Friday, May 4th, 2007 at 12:00 amA while back the fabulous Mr. Fabulous of Pointless Drivel did a twist on the meme. He asked his readers to indicate they wanted to be tagged and then he would send them five questions based on his research into that person’s blog. Here’s what he sent:
1. Your blog’s tag line is “Incorrigible. Like a Kitchen Gadget.†If you could be any kitchen gadget you wanted to be, which would you choose and why?
A Ronco Inside-The-Shell Egg Scrambler. It would be much easier to get inside some one’s head and just fuck it all up. Plus after me, when you’re boiled with love, you’ll get a more — shall I say — homogenized hardness.
2. I think we can agree that we will never truly know Who Let the Dogs Out, but now that they are out, don’t you think they are better off?
No. Now, like Paul Wolfowitz, they are out to spread even more havoc and they will do nothing to help the world’s poverty. The dogs should take their bitches some place where they won’t cause a conflict of interest — like prison.
3. When the aliens finally land and start turning us all into chutney, what will be your argument to them that they should let you live?
“Well, yes, I am a fruit, but I’m bitter and tart (Not a tart. Smart asses). Nothing dipped in me will come out tasting good. Trust me.”
4. My blog has two columns and yours has three. Do you think you are better than me?
Of course not. Your name has the word ‘fabulous’ in it. Mine is just an old English name that no one uses anymore. My name inspires gray, dreary days and cucumber sandwiches. Yours says, “You best be using jazz hands every time you say my name or you’ll find yourself mopping the floors in my chintz factory. Now kick higher, bitches. Fosse would be doing the box step in his grave if he saw this kind of un-fabulous performance!” Or am I projecting?
5.There is only about six years’ age difference between us, yet except for a love for Fountains of Wayne, our music tastes are fairly different, in that you seem to be much more in tune with the music of today. How do you stay so young and hip?
Every month, Rolling Stone sacrifices one of their critics whose brain I eat thusly obtaining musical cred through digestion. Wait, that can’t be true. Rolling Stone hasn’t been hip in decades. In all seriously though I’m just a big music whore. My cool factor has definitely gone from Top 40 in the 80’s to underground stuff that radio would never play. Which I’m cool because of and with.
Wanna play now? Here’s how:
- Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.â€
- I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
- You update your blog with the answers to the questions.
- You include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
- When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
- Rinse. Repeat.
Mr. Fabulous is one of my favorite comedy bloggers and you should check out his site to get your funny on. He also answers all of the comments left. When I checked, his first post had 77 comments so not only is he hard working, he’s conscientious of his readers.
He also hosts his own Internet radio show which I have the honor of co-hosting on May 27th! So exciting!

Why not? Sounds like fun. Interview me.
May 4th, 2007 at 2:48 am
Slap me with an interview ;)
May 4th, 2007 at 6:04 am
I vow that one day, one day, I will be as cool as you.
Nah, that’ll never happen.
Great answers. Better than the questions!
May 4th, 2007 at 8:47 am
Interview me! Ya know, This could really backfire on me. Oh well, should be fun.
May 4th, 2007 at 8:56 am
And what if you get 78 ‘interview me’ comments?!? Now that would be something to think about. ehehe!
Your entries always entertain. I’ve never had an interview before [well, 'cept for a job or two!] and I ain’t gonna start one now!! :-)
Have a FABULOUS weekend Howard [same goes for Mr. Fabulous as well!]!! xoxo

Scott:
Working on them.
Jester:
Working on them.
Mr Fab:
Naw, those were good questions. One of the reasons it took me so long to post was because I was having a hard time living up to them. You always try to impress those you think are peers.
TrashCan:
Working on it. In fact, I already have two for you down. :)
Robert:
C’mon! It’ll be fun! No? Okay, have a good weekend yourself.

Congrats, you’re spotlighted on the humor-blogs.com home page as the “humor-blogs.com welcomes…” blog.
Oh, and you can interview me if you want.
May 4th, 2007 at 11:18 am
Coolness! Thanks a lot! I’ve got two sets of questions done and will add you to the list.
May 4th, 2007 at 12:19 pm
Great idea! I changed my mind, why don’t you go ahead and interview me afterall! :)
May 4th, 2007 at 12:22 pm
Okay. I’ll work on getting some together for you after I’ve eaten. My brain’s fried. :)
May 4th, 2007 at 8:22 pm
Go on then. I’m game. This was the funniest thing I’ve read in ages. And the last funny thing I read was, oh, let me see… It was on your blog. :-)
May 4th, 2007 at 8:24 pm
Oh yeah, and that line:
“Nothing dipped in me will come out tasting good. Trust me.”
It was kind of visual. Or is that visceral? I know it isn’t venereal… x

Moi, por favor?

Andy:
Will get on it soon. Plus that sentence is the one I worked on the most, I had to first get it in my that I would be chutney as I was saying it and then figure out the best way to say it simply. I’m glad you liked it.
Kath:
Will get you some, too.

Hmmm… it took me 5 read-overs of the instructions to figure out how this is done… but now I think I have a grasp of what thed eal is…
so even though we’re only new blog buddies…
interview me.
(and the fact that it took me 5 reads to figure out the rules of a blog me me does not bode well for me going back to college this month!?)
May 7th, 2007 at 1:28 pm
Hahaha! Okay, I got you on the list. I’ll try to get back into question mode over the next couple of days.
May 8th, 2007 at 7:23 am
I want to be interviewed, but I don’t want to have to come up with questions for all the thousands of my readers who will want to play along.
I’m lazy, and I don’t really care about others that much.
May 9th, 2007 at 9:44 am
You are on the list and will get them together… uh… sometime soon, I swear!
May 24th, 2007 at 8:37 pm
you can interview me, Howard…i kinda just want to know what questions you’re going to ask…do i actually have to answer them?
