Editor's Note: I got tired of looking at the previous entry, but nothing much came to mind. At least nothing original.
So I stole this Q & A thingy from coffeeiv because it looked kinda' fun.
And then I stole the slide show thingy idea from doahsdeer.
Hence, a small portion of my life history in words AND pictures. E-hah.
-----------------------------------------
1. Which Pink Floyd song is your fav? None of ‘em.
2. When is the last time you saw Bob Dylan in concert? 2003. Lin & I looked around and did not see one single person (or one double person, for that matter) who was over 25. I felt like one of ‘em was gonna ask me if I needed help down the aisle any second. So now I just listen to my embarrassing number of Dylan CDs. When I wanna look at him, there's a life-sized portrait hanging on a wall here at Toad Hall.
3. Where were you when you first heard Jimi Hendrix play his guitar? Woodstock, NY. In the mud. Had it not been for Herb, I’d have been way beyond miserable......
4. Where were you and what were you doing when Kennedy was shot? Where: 9th Grade Algebra Class. Doing whut: Trying to figure out why the teacher kept saying that Algebra was easy and numbers were my friends when it was obviously all lies.
5. When did you get caught smoking cigs or drinking beer? Who were you with? Smoked and drank beer with all my friends. Rarely got caught.
6. PF Flyers or Keds? PF Flyers as a kid. Some red ones and some blue ones.
7. Favorite Soap and the network? Best soap EVER was “SOAP.” The only one I ever watched on a regular basis. I keep putting the DVD on my Xmas list, but Santa never brings it.
8. Ugliest trendy hairdo you ever had? Hey. I thought ALL of ‘em looked great at the time.....except for the ones my mother liked, which I got rid of pretty quick.
9. Hoola Hoop or Slinky? Hoola Hoop! To this day, I cannot make a Slinky go down the stairs, which really pisses me off.
10. Big Orange or Sundrop? Huh? Ne-Hi Orange!
11. Ever made out on an elevator? How far did you go? Only once. The elevator went farther than we did.
12. Can you do the Hokey Pokey? Yep! That's whut it's all about!
13. Remember the first time you heard Elvis? I was around 10 and I heard Elvis before I saw him. Really liked him on Radio KIMM in Denver. Then I saw him on Ed Sullivan and decided I’d rather listen than watch. Always hated that thing he did with his upper lip!
14. Poodle skirts or sack dresses? Levis!
15. Juicy Fruit or Doublemint? Blackjack!
16. Can you do the Watusi? Yeah, but my health insurance won't cover it anymore....
17. What is your favorite Ray Charles song? Ray never did a song I did NOT like!
18. Ever been snipe hunting? No. But only because I was wise to the whole thing, having read about it in some book. As a general rule, I am the most gullible person on the planet.
19. Back seat of the theater or drive in movies? Drive-Ins. When I went to a theater I liked to sit down front!
20. Did you see the original "Psycho" in the theater or on TV? Saw it in the “Thee-a-tah” when it first came out. For the following 26 years, I would not take a shower if I was alone in the house.
21. Can you 'stroll?' Yeah, we used to do it to Ricky Nelson’s “Travelin’ Man” -- but I never liked him OR the dance much.
22. Name two of the regulars on the original American Bandstand, or Mickey Mouse Club? Dick Clark's all I recall about Bandstand, but some of the Mouseketeers were Karen, Cubby, Annette & Darlene. And that Jimmy dude who was way too old to be hanging out with all those young chicks. Wonder if he was a perv?
23. Where did you learn to limbo? At a party. 7th grade.
24. Madras shirt or oxford? Oxford (with long sleeves rolled up).
25. Ever come home past your curfew? How late? What happened? Yep. Came home an hour late. My date walked me to the door where my Pop was waiting and said, “I’m sorry that we’re late, Sir. It’ll never happen again.” To which my Pop replied, “I know it’ll never happen again because you’re never taking her OUT again.” Haven’t seen that guy since.
26. Favorite Janis Joplin song? That’s too hard. I like ‘em all.
27. What movie first made Linda Blair famous? The Exorcist, but I’ve never seen it and I don’t wanna.
28. Beehive or Afro? No Beehive, but I did wear some seriously boofy hair for a few years. I look at those old pix and see a truck driver’s dream. Have also worn an Afro, which was great because it’s “wash ‘n wear” hair.
29. Ever own a pet rock? I’ve always preferred the live variety of pets.
30. What cologne was your favorite and still is? Loved “Jungle Gardenia” when as a teen. Then I wore “Oscar de la Renta” for a few years. But now I think most colognes are too overpowering so I just use a little Jasmine spritzer right out of the shower.

Embarrassing number of Dylan CDs? What's the number? Counting concert tapes and other bootlegs, I just counted 89. Soap was great!
Had to open up another window so I could remember everything I want to comment on!!
You were at Woodstock? My hero... lol... I am with you on algebra... went for help at least thre times a week for the whole year and only got a D... we could never afford the PF Flyers... I had to wear the Woolworth's kind...snipe hunting... ah GirlScout camp, lol...I want pics of the beehive and the afro! LOL
You were at Woodstock???...lol
I love the Tangled Up in Blues CD, James Solberg doing Ballad of a Thin Man. As for Woodstock, it is my enduring shame and embarrassment that I passed up an opportunity to be there. But my wife was at Woodstock, in the mud, listening to Hendrix.
RYC-Not cheating... just using my time wisely! LOL...
What does a friend say to you on a special day like this? How about I return the favor, call anytime you want or need to. I hope you enjoy your day. Maybe you can photograph Richard and Lula.
That was 'way too fun and plus it gave me a fifteen minute thrill seeing my actual NAME on a blog. Hey, my grandmother went to the movie Woodstock to see what my older cousins had been up to. She said it didn't really shock her, it was just boring.
My HS reunion is in a year...sure do enjoy seeing these memories...there seem to be a lot right now.
I loved this entry, now I know you much better! It is amazing how many kids are Dylan fans, my son and all his friends included.
I liked the slideshow, too. Have a great Monday!
You were with Herb Alpert at Woodstock?
No Sh*t!!!
You were at Woodstock? That's cool.
But I was at Altamont. It wasn't as bad as they made it out to be. Although I did get sucker-punched by Jerry Garcia.
True story about PF Flyers. My friend Terry thought becuase they were "Flyers" that he really could fly. So he climbed to the top of the refrigerator and jumped off, knowing that he would glide through the kitchen like Superman. Instead, he wound up in the emergency room with a broken collarbone.
I love Dylan's work too. I was very impressed by his latest one.
9th grade, that makes you three years older. Mosrt of the other questions I don't understand, exxcept for the Janis Joplin one.
RYC of yesterday, mine is the second to last one. And Today: Enzo asked which kind of dogs, yes, he's a racist.
I like your answer to #17.
ryc- You're probably right, but I still feel discontented... I want to see the world with wonder again... I want new horizons and new knees, I want I want I want.... I want to be a princess! lol..
Hmmm, I seem to end up at your site from different angles
Dylan is definitely The Man
I could go for a lil elevator action these days.
I love Dylan and I love Tangled up in Blues... but how, how, how can you not like Pink Floyd? Okay, because I love you... we will have to agree to disagree on that point. Everything else is cool... but no Floyd. Have your ever heard, "On the Turning Away"? Great song with a great message, by Floyd.
Hugs, Tricia
ryc: :O Feeeeeeeeef!!!!!
ryc: I'm finding the bodies to be particularly difficult to dispose of.
RYC: "Looking at today." Yes indeed--one day at a time! Thanks!
RYC: Me too.
Wow...I'll be 28 this month and there was so much on this quiz that I didn't recognize. We youngies are getting younger?
Thanks for visiting my site. Come back whenever you've a mind to. I don't post every day as you can tell. Dylan is way cool. He was in this area recently, and I didn't get to see him. The radio station I listen to in my car plays cuts from his latest album. His voice is still terrible, but who cares. However, I like early Dylan the best. If anyone can hear the "Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" (The Times They Are A-Changin' album) and not choke up, the listener must have a stone for a heart. The tune for his "Restless Farewell" is Irish, "The Parting Glass." I know diddly about Pink Floyd.
~~Cheers, Donna
I am so doing this survey...
Have a great weekend.
Tricia
"you've got plenty of time. You're home."
If you only knew how many times those words went through my mind today. Thanks.
I agree. Rocks should remain wild.
So when are you coming out from hiding???...LOL the racegoers must have gone home by now...
Cute thought (ducks watching tv!) Thanks for the laugh!
RYC: I love the sound of "falling back on flowers." If you take it literally, it sounds like a movie or a dream...
