memes, memes, the musical fruit,

the more you blog, the more you toot.

something like that, anyway.

Some unshaven simian has cursed me—i mean, tagged me—with the gratuitously insipid middle name meme.

TEH RULEZ, as copied from the accursed simian’s blog:

1. You have to post the rules before you give your answers.
2. You must list one fact about yourself beginning with each letter of your middle name. (If you don’t have a middle name, use your maiden name or your mother’s maiden name).
3. At the end of your blog post, you need to tag one person (or blogger of another species) for each letter of your middle name. (Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they’ve been tagged.)

it is potentially of note that the simian in question did not comply with rule #3, and i only happened to notice the tagging of me by virtue of my dutiful inspection of his RSS feed. i guess he’s busy with his campaign and all. pfft. whatever.

like the aforementioned simian, i don’t follow rules, because rules are for the mindless masses who fail to recognize that exercising one’s free will in support of the greater good is beneficial. besides, why try to start setting a good example for my children now? not to mention the fact that “Dawnne” is one of my middle names already, and both it and the other one are too short to be “fun”, at least not in my opinion.

so, for the purposes of this meme, my middle name is “POOPYHEAD”, chosen for both its appropriate attribution in my case, and of course for its inherent sense of maturity and acumen.

· P ~ Pr0n. one of my first contracts when i was just starting out in the self-employed world was to code a database-driven image-delivery system for a pornography website. the cheap bastards never made their final payment, but were i to re-activate a certain email address, i could see how much it was being used. last time i checked, the system was installed on over 15,000 websites! fame! fortune! o wait…. i would have told the bastards to go fuck themselves, but i figure doing what they do for a living, they probably do that enough anyway.
· O ~ Objectivity. i am, actually, fairly objective. i consider it one of my finer qualities. i don’t consider myself to be perfectly consistent in this category, but i’m fairly (pardon the pun) conscientious about it.
· O ~ Omnivore. this is the fault of the Spouse Unit (aka Mrs. Other). when we met, i largely consumed cheap beer and dead cows with the occasional chicken. now, i actually eat my vegetables and fruits, drink wine, and catch myself from time to time actually wanting a salad.
· P ~ Poopyhead. no explanation required, i’m sure. what, you expected more? sue me.
· Y ~ . fuck. i just HAD to pick a word with “Y” in it, didn’t i? ummm…. YouTube. there ya go. as in, i watch some shit on YouTube but since i’m too goddamned lazy to videotape anything, i never contribute.
· H ~ Hungry. i really suck at making sure i have a good breakfast each morning, and here it is nearly 1:00 p.m. and i still haven’t eaten.
· E ~ Entelligent. as exemplified by my awesome speling skillz, i am extremely entelligent and thoroughly dedicated to taking memes seriously.
· A ~ Asshole. as pretty much exemplified by every post on the otherwhirled. so, bite me.
· D ~ Dumbass. this is what i will, no doubt, continue to be until #1 Son is somewhere in his 20’s, after which i will suddenly and mysteriously become insightful.

YOU ARE HEREBY TAGGIFIED: don’t argue with me. just do it.

crap. that’s enough already. i’m pretty sure the rest of you on the blogroll (which i still need to fix here and resynchronize with the otherwhirled) have already been tagged.
