Meme Quiz - Part II


            And here are my five questions, which I will answer and then include a list of people I’d like to hear responses from as well.


1. What is your quest?

A: Seeking out the grail is too obvious an answer. I’ll have to go with: To explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and civilizations and to boldly tell stories that no man has told before.


2. What is your favorite question?

A: Why? And I might go on to state that my favorite responses to that question is either “Why not?” or an incredibly long rambling that begins with “I’m glad you asked . . .”


3. Forget the ridiculous “Taco Bell” scenario someone already suggested, who really is going to win the fast food wars in the future?

A: I know they’re an underdog, but I think Cold Stone is going to sneak in a victory while Ronald and Jack are using their corporate might to destroy the restaurant countryside. I know they don’t make traditional food now, but when the grease fumes have all settled they will have changed the way America views ice cream as a valid food choice. You may call that wishful thinking on my part. I think I’ll call it campaigning for my favorite food.


4. What rock song should be your anthem?

A:  “Cheeseburger In Paradise” by Jimmy Buffet or “Blue Collar” by Bachman-Turner Overdrive.


5. What published book, possibly a classic, would you like to rewrite? (I decided to throw in something serious here.)

A: I think re-writing “Dick and Jane” would be hilarious, but I’m not sure I want to be responsible for turning out a whole generation of people, whose thinking is that much off-center. That’s what clones are for. Which leaves me with “Frankenstein”.  I’d write it as a comedy about two buddies who travel around the world playing practical jokes on one another. (Alright, this may have been a serious question, but that doesn’t mean I have to answer it seriously. Sheesh, you all should know me better by now.)


            Now for the exciting part of all this; I'm challenging the following writers to participate in the Meme Quiz.

Jenn Johansson       http://jennjohansson.blogspot.com/



            And here are some my fellow campaigners that I don’t really know yet, but am challenging them with the Meme Quiz so I can get to know them better:

Abby Fowers        http://abbyfowers.blogspot.com/


* I wouldn’t mind getting to know all my fellow campaigners better, so just because I didn’t list you here doesn’t mean I’m snubbing you. Add yourself to the challenge if you like.

  1. You know what's funny is that when you asked what is your favorite question and answered with 'why?' I thought you were asking 'why do you want to know what my favorite question is?' Man, I was confused there for a minute!

    Great choices on tags as well. Good, good people!

  3. 'Why?'. The most irritating, annoying, fascinating and illuminating question in the English language :-)

  4. Oooh, thanks for tagging me! Also, never heard of Cold Stone before, but yes, ice cream is a valid food choice and will conquer the culinary world!
