I think this may be the most interesting tag I've read! You put WAY more work into it than I would've expected.
It only makes me want to say MORE!!!
Dddragon, I couldn't do less for you. Now quit! I'm sure I'm paid to do something.
I agree with DDD. You really rise to the occasion when tagged.
Pansi liked your definition of "scholarly."
Grr. By the way, Weirsdo, I plagiarized myself in my definition for Ohio. Do you recognize it?
I'm glad Pansi was pleased. I do try.
Thanks. I'm tri-ignorant. I can speak German and Spanish when I need to. I read & write in English but don't speak it.
Ooops. missed you, a4g. No, but I've seen it. Dddragon wouldn't do that to me.
Well, that was very original. And the best job I've seen on this tag-thing.
Also, you completed the tag, but told next to nothing about yourself. bravo.
THAT's why I said MORE!
Thanks, TLP *bowing*
Dddragon, if people want to know more about me, they should go to my diary blog. Oh, wait. I don't have one. Wonder why that is.
It was quite original how you shaped it into your style. Great.
I image you as a young child at night with the covers pulled over your head and a flashlight reading your favorite book, the dictionary.
Doug - all I can say is you sure know your target audience and, like the postman, you deliver. Impressive as always. :)
Icy, when I was a young child at night with the covers pulled over my head my favorite books were my children's bible, D'aulaire's book of Greek Mythology, Sherlock Holmes stories and The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. There's some real bio material, huh?
Here's why the covers were over my head. I always liked cold weather. The year we left the apartment in Chicago, we moved into 100+ year-old house across from the Illinois Central railroad which was the only time I had my own room until I was a teenager. I really liked the cool weather and left the window open. When winter came that year, it came hard and the wood expanded and the window was stuck open. I like to have froze to death until Spring and every morning when I got up, my first chore was to shovel the snow out of my bedroom.
Sar, I'm trying to think of a mailman joke but they're all dirty.
I just noticed this post now! Great job! Actually, I learned some more stuff about you... it's all in there, subliminally.
Yes, Aral, I'm an enigma wrapped in mystery. A tootsie-pop among men.
