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 :) :) :)
- I'm a woman of many moods and they all require chocolate. Forever in My Heart Cross Stitch Design
- Librarians are the secret masters of the world They control information. Don't ever piss one off. Spider Robinson
- 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
- When I play with my cat, who knows whether she is not amusing herself with me more than I with her. Michel de Montaigne
- Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do. Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do. Mark Twain
- I have eaten eight kinds of meats; I'm a true Renaissance man. Homer Simpson

Homer Simpson, a modern sage?
Its a quote I often use:) especially in front of vegetarians :)
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 :-))
Excellant quotes, the choclate ones are the best!
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 ....
The chocolate quote is one I need to stitch up and take to work - Mr S says it describes me perfectly :)
#2 also applies to waiters & waitresses - don't piss them off until AFTER you've gotten your food....
So they say! LOL
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.
You've beaten me with raccoon frog and turtle. But I can add in kangaroo, crocodile, emu, wild boar, camel, guinea fowl and quail.
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?
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.
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.
Ah thanks for the reminder - add in Peacock and Swan to the list ....
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.
And, as discussed previously, I can add fox. Along with snake.
You've still left one out ;-p
Quiet you!
Or I'll never eat it again {grin}
Nice to see you out and about - quieter day today?
Oh yeah - definitely eaten snake - and eel.
Shush Penfold :-)
I think we've all missed lamb along the way there somewhere too :)
Oooh heck DM !!!!
{The Brits at lease should figure out where these two quotes are from}
Along with squid, octopus and all the various shellfish and crustaceans.
Speaking of which I feel a new blog entry coming on .....
I forget deer. Hunting season reminded me.
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)
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 :)
Delicious....and Mahi Mahi...lovely...
Interesting new snapshot of you dear!
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 :)
Very cute!
Thank you:)
Most natural and unposed shot of me seen in years

Thanks Paula:)
