a few Spo-fans inquired what I meant by the names of the four friends type. It was an obscure reference to the AA Milne Poem ‘Four Friends”.
It was meant to lighten up an entry rather lofty. So let’s now have some fun.
A bit of nonsense.
Here’s a MEME.
A Spo-MEME

Tea, wine, or champagne?
How left handed are you?

The Board of Directors Here at Spo-Reflections just might be persuaded to give out some sort of prize for the Spo-fan with the most or most clever responses.

I posted it on my blog…
Tea, Wine or Champagne? Wine-Geyser Peak Sauvignon Blanc
How Left Handed are you? Sexually it can be one hand or the other… everything else almost a tea bagger
The loudest piece of clothing I have is… My red Chuck Taylors (and a variety of undies)
The Best Friend, who is s/he? Sloan (has put up with my ass for over 30 years)
I’d rather eat rats in Tewkesbury than… I think I would just shoot myself if it came to eating rats (anywhere)
How many of these have you done?
1. Been to an Opera? Cats, Evita, Mama Mia…isn’t that gay enough
2. Read a novel by Dickens? Honestly, I never read a whole book of anything until after I graduated college and got into John Grishim and Anne Rice…before that I would just rent the movie or catch it on TV
3. Drank Bourbon? Let’s just “Beam Night” every Thursday my sophomore year of college… thus having to retake the one Friday class I had those semesters…to this day the smell makes me gag…sorry, all vodka now
4. Been to Key West? Seen a lot of pictures of friends who have been… would like to go, when they have an airport big enough to land a 747… small plane terrify me more than the big ones… and bridges are almost as bad as the flying…
5. Visited the Stratford Festival of Canada? I have been to Canada and hospitalized there, but that was Quebec and everything was in French…
6. Spiders give you the heebie jeebies? YES…as do snakes…ughhh…skin is crawling now…
7. Been to Michigan? I have seen their football team play on TV and our cars may have been made there
8. Rolled down a grass hill? Yes… right into a huge mud hole next to a keg and was in a white sweater. I loved that sweater…oh well…it was college
9. Ate Synder Pretzels? Is there any other kind? Dip them in nacho cheese or ranch dressing…mmmm
10. Used the word “rubbish” in the last 30 days? Nope, but now it is in my vodka soaked brain and will likely over use it the next 30 days… likely with a fake English accent.
11. Worn a bow tie? Yes, but only in weddings… but I did just buy two new ones… silk ones, for Jeff and I… but you will likely see them in a drunken photo shoot before we actually have anywhere to wear them.
12. Have a set of Viking Horns? Nope, but would be fun to get some and an outfit and have some fun

Sand dunes should definitely count. I’ve rolled down grass hills and sand dunes. Both activities have unique charms, but the experiences are similar enough to be considered comparable. imho. (Sand gets into every crack and crevice but washes out easily. Grass stays mainly on the hill, but the stains on your clothes live long and prosper.)
December 16, 2012 at 8:06 AM
Doug Taron
I agree. I’ve done both and I think sand dunes are more fun.

I keep running into Canucks who have never been to Stratford; worse, they live in Ontario?! Please tell Harper (the two legged one) to get people to attend! They even have Tim Horton’s there – really nice one too.

Sex is jolly good fun ! (fill in the blank)
Tea, wine, or champagne? Just reverse the order for my order of preference. Champagne is one of the great joys of life, right up there with the above.
How left handed are you? I am not ambidextrous like my maternal grandfather, but I can do several things with my left hand. 🙂
The loudest item of clothing I have is a bright orange Tshirt with an image of John Singer Sargent’s famous portrait of arts patron and social rebel Isabella Stewart Gardner. We had them made up as opening night gifts to our cast and fellow members of the creative team for the first opera for which we wrote the text.
The Best Friend: who is s/he? Fritz: husband, lover, best friend, the love of my life.
I’d rather eat rats in Tewkesbury than have to listen to or look at Justin Bieber, any assorted Kardashians, Lindsay Lohan, Snooki or Britney Spears ever again.
1. Been to an opera? I saw my first one in person at age 11 and have saved every program for every opera or theater performance I have ever seen. The current stats: 947 Performances of 387 Operas by 169 Composers.
2. Read a novel by Dickens? Tale of Two Cities, Great Expectations, Christmas Carol and possibly one or two others.
3. Drank Bourbon? Yes but it will never be my favorite. I do use Wild Turkey Bourbon Liqueur in my peach pies.
4. Been to Key West? Yes, memorably with you, Someone, Doug, Leon aka The Wild One, and other delightful gentlemen.
5. Visited The Stratford Festival of Canada? Yes, twice. I saw the young Christopher Walken and William Shatner in romantic lead roles.
6. Spiders give you the heebie-jeebies? Some spiders. Here in New Hampshire we take Daddy Long Legs as a fact of life in the house. I have no idea how they do it but they get in everywhere, and you have to get used to it. But the other ones, particularly any that have hair, yes!
7. Been to Michigan? Yes. I drove through and stopped outside Detroit for lunch on one of my trips to #5.
8. Rolled down a grass hill? Many times.
9. Ate Synder Pretzels? Yes, most happily with a good mustard dip.
10. Used the word ‘rubbish” in the past 30 days? There are a couple of Spoisms that have become part of our vocabulary; that one gets used and then smiled about with some frequency. Tea time here is anywhere between 2:30 and 4pm not quite but almost daily. It’s made in a pot with loose leaves, no rubbish.
11. Worn a bow tie? Yes, especially in the much dressier days of my youth.
12. Have a set of Viking horns? As a kid, along with my Prince Valiant sword and shield. Somewhere I have a treasured picture of Fritz wearing a horned helmet reproduction at a historical site in Denmark several, several years ago.

OK, I have now done it and posted it on my blog. Thanks for the challenge. http://baileysbuddy.blogspot.com/2012/12/meme.html

OK, In response to your remark about the Viking helmet here is the research…”During the Viking age, helmets were typically fairly simple: a bowl with a prominent nose guard, as shown in the photo of a reproduction helmet to the right. One thing to note: Viking helmets had no horns. There is no evidence that Viking era helmets ever had horns.”
…
Good evidence exists for horned helmets in Scandinavia during the Bronze and early Iron Ages, well before the start of the Viking era. Stone carvings and sculpture (right) survive, showing these helmets, and bronze helmets found at Viksø in Denmark date from around the year 900 BCE (left), about 1500 years before the Viking age.
These ancient bronze helmets are thin and far too fragile for battle. Almost certainly, they were used only for ceremonial purposes. In contrast, surviving Viking-age iron helmets and helmet fragments are robust, and show clear signs of damage from weapons.
Perhaps during the Romantic 19th century Viking revival, this early evidence was misinterpreted, and the notion that Vikings all wore horned helmets became established.
So, I am afraid, Dear Spo that it is your helmut that is rubbish.
December 5, 2012 at 5:39 AM
Urspo
oh pish posh ! I KNOW THIS!!! My choice is to believe Vikings helmets have horns (the proper ones anyway) have horns. It’s the same as “Buddy” explaining he refuses to believe Liberace was gay. His reasoning?: “I just don’t want to.”

I love the word ‘bullocks” !! I say this several times a day, far more often than ‘rubbish’

Tea, wine, or champagne? – Champagne
How left handed are you? – Not really at all. However, I prefer to masturbate with my left hand as it gives me pleasure for a longer period of time.
The loudest item of clothing I have is a bright red union suit which I wear only for The Mister
The Best Friend: who is s/he? – The Mister
I’d rather eat rats in Tewkesbury than eat rats in Michigan
How many of these have you done?:
1. Been to an opera-no, but I own many operas on CD.
2. Read a novel by Dickens – not that I remember
3. Drank Bourbon – Yes, absolutely
4. Been to Key West – No
5. Visited The Stratford Festival of Canada – No
6. Spiders give you the heebie-jeebies – Yes, and I run screaming for The Mister to “get it!”
7. Been to Michigan – The Mister and I decided to move to Michigan in 2004 to be closer to his ancestral homeland of the Saginaw Chippewa Indians. He’s of the Algonquian heritage – a woodlands Indian if you will. WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE. We left in 2012 after realizing that you can’t place two west coast liberals onto an isolated peninsula and expect anything but misery. Anyone want to buy a house in the woods? BTW-Don’t eat pasties south of the bridge ☺
8. Rolled down a grass hill – and right over several piles of dog poop.
9. Ate Synder Pretzels – yes, YUM! – I dip the hard ones in my bourbon – even the pretzels.
10. Used the word ‘rubbish” in the past 30 days – No
11. Worn a bow tie – At Age six in a family portrait and at age 17 for my high school prom.
12. Have a set of Viking horns – no, but I have several lithographs with Vikings wearing horns…does that count?
