Venomous Tag
Kate tagged me with the My, Me, Meme.
So here goes:
This one's easy, since it's all about you and since it requires you to write the very first answer that comes to mind. Simply copy and paste the following three questions then answer them on your blog or, if you don't have a blog of your own, answer them in the comments here. Bloggers should then tag three other people to answer the questions as well, and be sure they know who to blame (Me!).
1. My: You've heard the saying "I'd give my right arm for"�. So, what would you give your right arm for?
2. Me: What's one word that describes how you want people to see you?
3. Meme: If you could be any blogger, which blogger would you be? and why?
My answers: 1. My: You've heard the saying "I'd give my right arm for"�. So, what would you give your right arm for? I like my right arm a hell of a lot. Not sure what I'd actually give my right arm for.
Me: What's one word that describes how you want people to see you? Brilliant
3. Meme: If you could be any blogger, which blogger would you be? and why? Any blogger who makes a hell of a lot of $$ just cruising the internet (assuming such existed...)
And now I get to tag three people, so I tag Rachel, Beth, and Bou

I'll get on this after I do some yard work.
Wait... I'd give my right arm for $$$ to hire someone to make my yard look like something off HGTV!
No, that's not it at all.

I have intentionally overpaid a bill by $0.01, just so the company that hacked me off needs to pay for sending me a statement.
I also do this with parking tickets, to drive the bean counters crazy. On second thought, maybe I should short them the cost of postage.

The $0.002 is intentional. Thanks to Adam Lawson for the explanation. The linkage is here.
Basically, it's their billing rate per kilobyte in Canada for cell phone data usage. The trouble is that they tell folks it's .002 cents and then bill people .002 dollars, which jacks up their bill by a factor of 100.

And here I was just feeling sorry for myself for quitting grad school when maybe science was my One True Calling. Thank you so much for making all the horrible memories come rushing back, so I could once again be happy I got the hell out of there.

I have the MOST CREATIVE adopted Blog-Sibs EVAH
Especially when it comes to dealing with the Proselytizing Posses of the world.
First, it was Mrs. Who with her tale of Jehovah's Witness Frightening, now adopted Blog-Bro Contagion shares the tale of a fed-up and pissed-off Aussie who garnered a little revenge on the Mormon Bicycle Gang:
Score one for my alma mater, who last night broke their NCAA-record setting loss (against NCAA opponents) streak at 207 by beating Bard College 81-52. Their first NCAA win since the winter of 1996, my freshman year.
But don't give me all of this "mathematically improbable" and "brainy not brawny" bullshit. Let's face it. These guys are more interested in being engineers than basketball players, and with an average of 6 classes/ term, there isn't a lot of time for hoop shooting.
And it's not like they've given up ALL of their losing ways: see, Caltech B-ball is STILL on a 0-245 streak versus CONFERENCE opponents in the last 22 years. That made the record books during my freshman year, too. And the team was in People magazine for that....

I doubt Danny Bonaduce is broken up about Jamie getting canned, given comments he has made about her on various radio shows. Its also ironic that just before Christmas Handel went down there and yelled at the Star Morning show for which he was suspended for a week and had to take anger management classes (allegedly).
