Tagged??? WTF ????

OK it appears I got tagged by Mariann's friend Milly's friend Cherie.

Cherie do I even know you ????

Oh well this tagging thing is as you've seen on everyone's site is 6 random facts about me.  People who know me will understand why I've chosen these six quotations :) :) :)

  1. I'm a woman of many moods and they all require chocolate. Forever in My Heart Cross Stitch Design
  2. Librarians are the secret masters of the world They control information. Don't ever piss one off. Spider Robinson
  3. There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends. Homer
  4. When I play with my cat, who knows whether she is not amusing herself with me more than I with her. Michel de Montaigne
  5. Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do. Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do. Mark Twain
  6. I have eaten eight kinds of meats; I'm a true Renaissance man. Homer Simpson

Homer Simpson, a modern sage?

Melissa Hicks said...

Its a quote I often use:) especially in front of vegetarians :)

Mariann Mäder said...

Funny that - just a bit different as how he states it in Tom Sawyer - you know the "I *have* to paint the fence" and the "I let you *pay me* to allow you to paint my fence" - which is a jolly good use of the above quote :-))

Rachel Cox said...

Excellant quotes, the choclate ones are the best!

Melissa Hicks said...

Actually I think that exact quote is either *in* Tom Sawyer or *about* Tom Sawyer ..... I distinctly remember knowing this one in connection with that book somewhere ....

Melissa Hicks said...

The chocolate quote is one I need to stitch up and take to work - Mr S says it describes me perfectly :)

Karen R said...

#2 also applies to waiters & waitresses - don't piss them off until AFTER you've gotten your food....

Claire EJ said...

So they say! LOL

Sisu Lull said...

1. Beef
2. Pork
3. Chicken
4. Turkey
5. Duck
6. Goose
7. Turtle
8. Goat
9. Rabbit
10. Raccoon
11. Fish
12. Frog
13. Pheasant

Take that Homer! I didn't like most of them, but I have eaten them, LOL.

Melissa Hicks said...

You've beaten me with raccoon frog and turtle. But I can add in kangaroo, crocodile, emu, wild boar, camel, guinea fowl and quail.

Melissa Hicks said...

I think it applies to all service industries - why do expect they can piss people off and then still get what they want without repercussions?

Rosanne Derrett said...

Yep, because the person you were just so bloody rude to is now creating your food. You want lots of jalapeno's on your pizza coz you are pissed, you get them. Don't complaining to me about the 1" thick layer we gave you on your post-pub pizza and don't sit on the kerb outside the store picking them off! This is true - we did is to a repeat offender and 11 people nearly wet themselves laughing for the rest of the shift!

Chocolate should be a steady part of everyone's diet. Maybe there wouldn't be so many cranky people in the world if they ate just a little more chocolate.

Sisu Lull said...

We had guinea fowl too, but I don't recall eating them. We had them as watch dogs. That screech would wake the dead, LOL. They always let us know if there were possums, raccoons, or feral dogs in the barnyard.

Melissa Hicks said...

Ah thanks for the reminder - add in Peacock and Swan to the list ....

Mariann Mäder said...

Must be - just formulated differently. The boy is ordered by his aunt to paint the fence. To hide the 'shame' when a school mate passes he acts as if it were the greatest of all pleasures to pass a free Saturday working and soon amasses interest from others who paint like mad while he reaps some stuff from them. They pay for the privilege to work, LOL... So he just formulated it more precise in one quote, I suppose.

Stephen Silk said...

And, as discussed previously, I can add fox. Along with snake.

Stephen Silk said...

You've still left one out ;-p

Melissa Hicks said...

Quiet you!

Or I'll never eat it again {grin}

Nice to see you out and about - quieter day today?

Melissa Hicks said...

Oh yeah - definitely eaten snake - and eel.

Stephen Silk said...

Shush Penfold :-)

Melissa Hicks said...

I think we've all missed lamb along the way there somewhere too :)

Melissa Hicks said...

Oooh heck DM !!!!


{The Brits at lease should figure out where these two quotes are from}

Stephen Silk said...

Along with squid, octopus and all the various shellfish and crustaceans.

Melissa Hicks said...

Speaking of which I feel a new blog entry coming on .....

Sisu Lull said...

I forget deer. Hunting season reminded me.

Karen R said...

And there's no alligator on this list, either... Alligator tail - the finest delicacy available in the Redneck Riviera :) (That's the beaches along the Florida Panhandle, for those not familiar)

Melissa Hicks said...

Deer I've eaten - but not alligator. I don't think I've even eaten Croc come to think of it .... must be remedied immediately :)

Claire EJ said...

Delicious....and Mahi Mahi...lovely...

Melissa Hicks said...

Interesting new snapshot of you dear!

Claire EJ said...

Nice interesting?

Josee took this on the photo weekend.
They had all been down to the beach while I rested and as they returned, I was hanging out the window :)

Melissa Hicks said...

Very cute!

Claire EJ said...

Thank you:)
Most natural and unposed shot of me seen in years
