The more I learn about you, the more I realize we are so much alike and so very different :)

John said...

the only difference is you would totally wear the speedo and leather pants right?

Lo Lo Lova said...

True - I am! Although I am not wearing flip flops - makes me feel like my toe is being sawed off. See: alike but different...

Also, instead of saying "Turd Burlger," I call people "Turd Furgeson" or randomly yell "Poop On A Stick"

Melanie was here said...

Also Turdy McTurdson.

John said...

I effed up my 5 snacks section I'm retarded.

Melanie was here said...

Too many retard sandwiches for breakfast? (is that ok to say?? don't want to offend anyone!).

John said...

yeah it's cool retards can't read

Where to start John... first, I've missed you terribly. Really. :) Second, snack section... women. Liking that. Your wife must appreciate you a lot. Third, do you know there are several pages to my blog? Hm. I was kinda hoping so. You do work with computers, or so I've been told. In any case, my main blog is NOT the one you link to... and as it stands, I already did this on the 3rd, the day before you tagged me. And right before my computer took a shit. You probably could have helped me with that. Or maybe not, you're a pc bum aren't you.

Um, I don't know if you link to "Under 21" cause it's has more of the jokes and music on it, or cause I have no tracking on it. I put tracking on every other part of my blog last week, but stopped short on that page just cause of you and this bunch. Yup, didn't want to make you all go away entirely. So anyway, if that's why you go there and not my main page, let me know. If not, I'll put tracking up. I have a shithead(s) who bugs me I have to keep watch of. Anyhoo...

This is the link to the post and comments... sorry it was long. And not so funny. If I'd been tagged by you first, I would have answered much differently and in shorter blurbs to match your little boy taste in humor and attention span.

ps If it is the tracking, I'll redo the post and move it over, k? :) Wow. I wrote way more than you I'll bet. Sorry.

Love your blog. Very funny. I think I might just hijack this "tag" idea and do it too.
