I never liked playing tag

Nov 10th, 2007 | By Chuck | Category: Pointless Posts

I’m not sure if it was the chasing after others or being chased; either way it seems the BusyDad tagged me for this meme. He claims it isn’t retaliatory. You be the judge.

BusyDad mentioned this in the comment when I tagged him,

I might have to tag you back because

and then this on the post he tagged me from,

I swear this is not a retaliatory blog-by tagging…

hmm, thou doth protest too much? :)

Hey, I’m just playing around Jim ;) . I won’t be able to tag others though. I’ve already tagged everyone I feel ok about. If anyone reading this would like to be tagged just say so in a comment and I’ll be happy to oblige.

Ok. The rules.

  • You have to post the rules before you give the facts.
  • Players must list one fact that is relevant to your life for each letter in your middle name. If you don’t have a middle name then use a name that you like.
  • When you are tagged, you must write a post containing your own middle name game facts.
  • At the end of your post, you must tag one person for each letter in your middle name. Don’t forget to comment them telling that they are tagged and to read your post to get the rules.

afe. If given a choice I prefer to play it safe. I don’t take many risks anymore. This probably has more to do with wanting to be around for the grandchildren (that are WAY OFF in the future) than it does some issue with mortality.

Letter-Vertigo. There aren’t many things I like more than a Hitchcock thriller. If it happens to be a Hitchcock thriller with Jimmy Stewart, forget about it. I’m there.

mployed. The vibe I get from my wife and kids is they like the fact that I can hold down a job. I’ve been working for the same place for almost ten years, and its not because I’m afraid to leave. I actually like my job and the company. Now that I think about it that vibe may be due to the fact that the job gets me out of the house on a regular basis.

ot a handy-man. I can’t fix a damn thing that really matters. Sure, you can toss some programming syntax at me and I will likely figure it out, or show me a network that is getting hacked and I’ll track down the offending machine. If you need me to stop a leak or add an electrical outlet you have two choices. You can either hire someone or pick up some extra insurance.

I will now continue the posts from a Dad’s eye view.

Oh, my middle name is not Sven. No real reason I picked it. I did some looking around at others who did this meme and none of them gave their middle names either. So there. ;) Thanks for thinking of me BusyDad, seriously, thanks.

Man, you’re bustin my balls! haha. Hey, any man who can stay with the same job for 10 years (and still like it) has got the resilience to be a great dad. And I hear you about being safe. The day I found out that a kid was on the way, I noticed myself driving slower. I wasn’t even technically a dad yet. Anyway, thanks for accepting your tag like a man - like you, I’m new to this meme/blog/tag etc thing and I think you were one of the few who hadn’t been inundated with tags yet when I scanned my blog reading list. Have a great weekend!

@BusyDad - Ball bustin’ aside… the meme wasn’t so bad. :)

Hey now, I used my real middle name for that meme, and it’s Michelle. Try that one on for size.
(found you through cre8buzz, hope you don’t mind the comment)

@Lilacspecs - of course I don’t mind the comment! Michelle huh, I definitely need to go check out your post. It seems I need some schooling on “the meme”. Thanks for stopping by. Don’t be a stranger. :)

Those are some interesting facts. I’m gonna have to share the “not a handy-man” thing with my hubby. It will make him feel better. We have some issues with our kitchen sink and our toilet and he keeps trying to get me not to call a plumber because he feels somehow inadequate. I just want to get the stuff fixed! He needs to know that, yes..real men don’t always fix stuff and it’s cool.

@SWC - If this post helps one man break free of the bondage that is the “handy-man” this whole blog will have been worthwhile. Besides, two plumbing projects!? That is just ridiculous. I’d have to take some vacation time to get ‘er done. :)

Excellent MEME Chuck!! You win!

BD is probably bitter because I haven’t done mine yet. What can I say, I’ve been busy reorganizing my mojo.

You’re too kind Piper, and you know BD. He is as mellow as they come.. no worries. ;)

I was gonna say, “Man, he’s got us fooled into thinking his name is Chuck and his name is SVEN!”

LOL

I did something like this but did it in an alliteration style! ;)

I did it, and I used my middle name. It’s Anne. Not as tough as Michelle, sure, but harder than I thought it would be. Love your answers!
