A Challenge Accepted: 50 Random Things That Make Me Awesome

Feb 26, 2008 02:02

My new awesome friend Alida made a list on her blog of 50 random things that make her awesome. I found it quite entertaining, and so when she challenged me to make my own, I decided to take up the challenge. This may be the longest post I've ever written so feel free to skim.

Without further ado...

That was the best list-about-me-that-I'm-going-to-post-on-my-blog I've ever read.

I feel, though, that if I did one of my own, it would mostly be calumnious lies.

jgordner February 26 2008, 19:48:54 UTC

That would probably be pretty entertaining too!

Well, alright then. I'll see if I can whip something up.

Two questions:

1. (related to 43) There are Types?
2. (related to 24) If you think you've got what it takes, then I expect to see you here in October.

Note: Number 2 is not a question.

4. I think you are very good at this ( ... )

jgordner February 27 2008, 08:25:24 UTC

4. Thank you. That means a lot ( ... )

8. I'd like that shirt. Yesterday.

11. It's just mean. It's like the band doesn't care.

14. Octopus is fine but served on a hot bus out of a cardboard box? Then it's slightly poisoned.

24. Sad. I'm a "Rock, paper, scissors, HIT," kind of a gal.

29. I've been practicing. I'm getting awesome.

30. Don't toy with me, white boy.

43. Hee. I got that. I just didn't understand Type II Beer Snob. Thanks to your explanation further down, I do now.

49. Hee.

8. I'm sure Michael J. Fox could arrange that.

24. If only we played by the same rules, we could rock, paper, scissors over which set of rules was right.

29. In the mirror? Does it constantly surprise you that the person you are giving props to gets it right when you do and screws up at the same time as you too?

43. Sometimes the B-Team comes up with these phrases (type I/type II snobbery, medium-cro, etc.) and I forget that not everyone in the world knows them.

32. Can you still remember the very good reasons for waffles? I believe they were 3 fold
33. I believe JIG stuck around for about a full year

jgordner February 26 2008, 19:56:34 UTC

Why Waffles?
Reason 1) Geoff sounds like Goof -- Goof reminds us of Goof Troop -- There was a character in Goof Troop named Waffles
Reason 2) Geoff went on an all waffle diet for a week that consisted of delicious things like chicken and salsa waffles.
Reason 3) Geoff couldn't decide whether to accept a job at Barclays in London and TMU in Chicago -- he was waffling.

On JIG: You're right! In first year they called me Jig (my initials) for the whole year, and it was swell.

Clearly # 2 was the best part of the list.

I won't betray my identity. You cannot make me.

Re: The List jgordner February 27 2008, 07:57:59 UTC

Um... Buncic, is that you?

Re: The List anonymous February 27 2008, 17:22:02 UTC

Bow-wow. Yes, this is Buncic. I'm here with Ruxpin and we're waiting to meet Bunker.

That was quite an effort! I don't think I could think of 50 things for myself!

9. Jon Gordner, his beard is like a mane, Jon Gordner, he has white hot pain, Jon Gordner, ordered cookies on the plane, Jon Gordner, that's my name! Ok, your name. But I was trying to sing the song properly.

32. How about P-Unit? And the Plunit?

38. Is it the B team that makes you awesome, or you who makes the B team awesome? :)

50. If you really love Aussie slang you should rename this list to "50 random things that make me grouse" :)

jgordner February 27 2008, 08:04:54 UTC

Hehe, I was doing this while we were watching the Webb of Lies (Bourne Ultimatum) last night, and then I stayed up until 2 finishing it.

9. We should record a song for everyone on the B-Team and put it on a CD and play them at every Sunday Brunch Most Awesome.

32. Ooooh, that's a good one. I completely forgot about P-Unit and Plunit! But maybe because I've always attributed those more to Sean than anybody else.

38. I think it's a symbiotic relationship!

50. Hmmm, changing the post title seems like a big commitment to Aussie slang. how about if I say here that Aussie Slang is the most grouse slang in town?

jgordner February 27 2008, 08:05:17 UTC

And you should try and do a list, I think it'd be awesome!
