"And You Are?" is a Blogfest Q & A created by Emily King & Tammy Theriault by way of Ms. Claus. Check out their blogs for more information and to see the list of bloggers trying to get on the Claus' nice list and win presents. And you all know me, I can't resist something for free. Below are my answers. Remember, judge not, lest ye be judged...with my fist!
1. How many tickets have you gotten? I cannot even begin to answer this question. If you only want to count the tickets with possible criminal charges, then only one. If you count only speeding tickets that do not involve speed cameras...maybe six. If you count all speeding tickets, only, including those that illegally inpede on my 4th amendment right to privacy by taking an image of my privately owned vehicle while I privately mind my own damn business, I would say...maybe 50. Now if you want to count parking tickets, tickets from backing into cars and trying to leave, and tickets for DWBing (driving while black) then we are talking about a numerical anomaly that cannot be expressed with the digits available on my keypad. To my defense, I do live in the metro DC area (nuff said).
2. Can you pitch a tent? Hell no! Black people don't go camping.
3. What was your worse vacation ever? Hmm...I got to think about this one. I guess it would be riding on a bus forever from Virginia to Florida to finally get down there and be caught in the middle of hurricane Andrew.
4. What was the last thing you bought over $100? *checking bank account* It appears that the last thing I purchased with real money (i.e. not the imaginary money available on credit cards) that was over $100 were people...to come clean my house.
5. We're handing you the keys to what? A new house that is going to accommodate two growing children, a dog, and two parents who like 5 Guys way too much!
6. What was the last meal you cooked that made even you sick? This should be an easy question since, for the past several months, everything seems to make me sick. However, I haven't cooked anything in three months either, so, the answer to this question is: I don't know. It is quite possible that the last time I ever cooked anything that made me sick was in 2003 when I tried to eat canned asparagus.
7. Fill in the blank: Oh my gosh! Becky look at her butt! It is so big. She looks like ____ what I have always wanted to look like. I got a pancake booty, homegirl needs to give me some of that cake!
8. What was your first car? I don't know where my father got this car from, but it was a white 80's aged Buick of some sort that he called Bessie. I think I had Bessie all of two months before I sideswiped a box truck on my way to school (I do not reccomend lotioning your legs while driving).
9. Your best friend falls & gets hurt. Do you ask if he/she's okay or laugh first? Depends on which friend it is...but more than likely I would ask if she is okay first.
10. What's the worse song ever? This
This was fun, although now the whole world knows I am a terrible driver. Hope you enjoyed getting to know me. Now, Ms. Claus...hand over that loot!
I'm a DCer too, and those speed cameras are horrible. I think I've paid enough to own one now.
ReplyDeleteAnd 5 Guys is the best! So yummy. :)
Happy Hopping!
I swear I get a speed camera ticket once a week :(
DeleteThey're lowering the price of speeding tickets in DC, but now if you're 5 miles over, you pay one price and if it's it 10 or more you pay another (higher). I guess that's how they're funding DC.
DeleteThat and the parking meters!
DeleteDavid thinks I should be an honorary black person because I don't camp either. My application is in the mail. :)
ReplyDeleteA house would be nice. How about a house with 5 Guys inside, kinda like McDonald's in the movie Richie Rich? I just dated myself with the 90's reference, didn't I? Oh well.
Thanks for joining the fun!

DeleteSounds good, Al Sharpton and I are reviewing applications later this week ;)
DeleteAnd if you dated yourself then I am just as old as you are because I totally got the reference. But, the 90's rocked, so it's all good.
Al Sharpton, ha! Love it.
DeleteThanks again for participating, Tyrese. It's nice to find new, fun blogs to follow!
This was hilarious! Canned asparagus?? What would possess you to even attempt to eat something so vile? Then again, most vegetables don't fare well with the whole metal can bit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laughs - I've signed up for more!
You are welcome and thanks for subscribing!
Delete"Driving while black" "black people don't go camping" Picking cotton eyed Joe...
ReplyDeleteI cannot stop laughing! Thanks for the hilarious answers :D
Thanks!
Deletetotally hilarious...sounds like DC answers for real!! you need biscuits, not pancakes! :D
ReplyDeleteLOL, yes, I do need biscuits!
DeleteI didn't realize they HAD speed cameras when I was visiting DC. I guess I'm grateful we came out during a holiday and inched everywhere we went!

Well, next time you visit the nation's capitol, look out for them and bring a satchel of quarters for the meters (it costs $2 to park for one hour!)
DeleteYour answers made me laugh, and I'm so glad I'm not the one with the most tickets! Sorry, but it's good to share the pain.
