Old School Toy-nado and a Rehash Meme
These two things have nothing to do with each other. I’m just in a “read-one-get-one-free” kind of mood tonight.
The Original Toy-nado
After reading my last post, my mom sent me this. Evidence of a prior history of toy-nados in our family. I believe this one hit sometime in the summer of ’78. We were finding Raggedy-Ann yarn hairs in the potted ferns for weeks.
My sister, aka “Auntie Mei”
Favorite Posts Meme
Mindi Cherry @ The Queen Mum thinks I’m one of the “cool” bloggers out here on this internet thing. Well hot damn -- someone needs get Maury Povich on the phone so he can round up my 5th grade bully tormenters for a “How You Like Me Now” episode. I’ll be stealing Chris G, Michael M and Mike C’s wives out from under their noses with my lighthearted word-crafting and slightly sarcastic, self-depreciating comments.
Ok, let’s play. Time to rehash some posts!
Rules: Go back through your archives and post the links to your five favorite blog posts that you’ve written.
- Link one must be about family
- Link two must be about friends
- Link three must be about yourself
- Link four must be about something you love
- Link five can be about anything you choose
Post your five links and then tag five other people. At least two of the people you tag must be newer acquaintances so that you get to know each other better.
- Well, this whole blog is about my family, so here’s one about essential Dad Survival Items. It got ZERO comments. How sad...
- Hmm... it seems that every confession in this post is within the context of my buddies. My friends so rule!
- Here’s an early meme revealing my aristocratic roots and prowess as John Cusack’s punching bag.
- I love being a dad. These were the signs that told me I had fully embraced my role.
- This is an early one. I’ve learned a lot from my son. Here are some lessons my son has taught me. I remember getting so excited over the 1 comment I got from this. Thanks Xbox!
Now it's time to tag a few folks. How about just 3. Because cool folks like me can bend the rules.
- Melissa @ Melissa's Corner. Melissa was the first person who (to my knowledge) blind blogrolled me. I was checking my stats one day and found this blog linking to mine. For a new blogger, that is one of the most flattering things ever!
- Karen MEG @ A Day in the Life. One of my new blog hopping pals!
- Madame Meow @ A Glance into a Mom's World. A very cool chick whose life this year has been an adventure to say the least.
Maury's calling. Gotta run!

EmailYou and Meme and the Bottle Makes Three Tonight
With this one post, I will successfully fulfill all my outstanding meme obligations in one fell swoop. Contents of this bottle contain: 1 controversial topic, 1 celebrity that I wish I were resourceful enough to stalk, my “if I were a rockstar” CD, and questions that Matt Lauer would ask me. A virtual swap meet of me, if you will.
The Meme to End All Memes
...for the year. Sorry, between coma-inducing meals and general holiday sloth, I couldn’t conjure up the creative juices necessary to go out with a bang. Drink some champagne, get silly and then read this post. It’ll be a lot more entertaining that way. This is the Birthday Month meme. The one that has permeated my favorite blogs quicker than green snot sniffles in a preschool classroom. And in case I did not succeed in converting you into a click, I’ll say it now. Happy New Year!!
7 Facts Part II: Bigger, Badder and Randomer
I guess memes aren’t like jury duty after all. Not much more than month after I fulfilled my blogbligation to share 7 random things about me, I got tagged again. With the same meme. I guess it’s not like chicken pox either. Hopefully these 7 additional facts about me are more interesting than chicken pox. You be the judge.
The XXX Meme
Sorry to get you excited. Nothing racy going on in here. I’ve just been tagged three times by three bloggers with this meme, so before I get tagged a fourth time, I thought I’d get this one out of the way. Four X’s just isn’t as eye-catching. Read on if you want to know seven random things about BusyDad (I’m already referring to myself in the third person? Ok, I’m getting too big for my britches).
What's in a (Middle) Name Meme
Warning: Meme ahead. This isn't MySpace, so I won't rail you into reading this. But if you want to learn random things about me that start with various letters, come on in! And for you MySpace fans, I've even included my superhero match and celebrity look-alike! Oh the suspense! Click now! Now! Now!
Meme in, Meme out
Ah, the dreaded meme. I have to be honest and say that I liked this. Being tagged by a fellow blogger wasn't bad at all. If this were my gang, I got ‘beat in’ today. Now that Joeprah has vouched for me, any lame post I make from here on out will reflect badly on him. Hey, but that’s how it goes in the ‘sphere.
