Extremely Barefoot
I done been tagged by K8 the Gr8 to do another meme. So, is it Mem-EE or Me-Me? I think it’s Mem-EE. Apparently I am to once again tell yous’ guys’ some things about me that I have never revealed here on these here interwebicals.
Ok, here goes.
1) I have received every Catholic sacrament except Holy Orders. One I received twice.
2) I hate wearing shoes. I did not have a pair of shoes on my feet for the entire first two years I was in school in Tucson, AZ. I wore sandles. To this day the first thing I do when I get home is to take my shoes off. When I work out in the yard I wear an old pair of hi-top All-Stars. In the winter I wear wool socks around the house.
3) I can juggle. Quite well, thank you.
4) I love B-grade 1950′s Sci-Fi movies. Day of the Triffids, It came from Beyond, Lost Planet, etc. The lower the budget, the better.
5) If I could buy any car in the world I would get a 1953 Oldsmobile Rocket 88, two tone green and creme, 300HP, 320 cubic inch ‘Rocket’ motor with a 700cfm double pumper 4-barrel carb and dual exhaust. It was the first production car that came with a guarantee to do over 100mph.
6) Have you ever seen, maybe on TV, those African dudes that stand around on one foot with the other foot rested on their opposite knee. I can do that for hours at a time. I do it from time to time just to freak people out.
7) I was a flaming liberal in my youth. I got better.
Eight) I don’t mind that my once red hair is turning grey and receding or that my hearing is going downhill but I am REALLY REALLY bugged by the fact that my once better than perfect eyesight is failing.
Right! There ya’ go. I’m not going tag anyone because that was a PITA. I hope you enjoy it.
My once red hair is turning grey and thankfully not receding. A Monks haircut would not suit me!
I have no idea what colour my hair is (well yes I do but I’m not going there) and Brian, baby, possum, honey, sweetheart, suger, darlsy . . .never, never, never come to Australia wearing sandals. Big foxes paw. Thongs or sandshoes. Converse high tops are fine!
Grannymar, Welcome! I’m very glad you found my new site. I really have missed your podcasts and I am very happy you are feeling better. You have been in my prayers.
I keep my hair cut very, very short so for the most part you can’t see the grey. I also wear a goatee that is still bright red, at least for now.
Bainobud, I didn’t realize there are so many different types of sandals. Sandals are just soles with two straps on each side converging inbetween the big toe and first toe. I don’t wear thongs! It would scare the children….adults and domesticated animals too.
I think I remember watching ‘Day of the Triffids’ on the sly when I was 5 years old. It made a profound impact.
I live in Converse runners. If they made them with kitten heels I’d be laughing.
There is an excellent film (subtitled) that I stumbled across which would be right up your street.. it’s not 1950′s, but it’s reminiscent!!

Haha . . THAT sort of sandle is entirely acceptable I thought you mean the Jesus Leather sandal with white socks. Pick the pommy on the beach, that’s what they’re wearing. Sorry, thongs to you guys are those waste of a peg knickers that I hang on the line every Saturday (not mine I might add). We live in rubber thongs (flip flops/sandals). It’s unAustralian not to own a pair. And K8′s right, if you haven’t watched Killer Tomatoes, you haven’t watched the ‘official’ worst movie of all time. It’s so bad, you’ll love it!
Oh girlfrien!!!!
I can sing the theme song to Attack of the Killer Tomatos!!
It came out during my pot smoking days and we had Midnight Movies then too.
I just tried standing on one leg with my other foot on my knee.
I fell over.
What did I do wrong?
Hmmm, I’m not sure. I think maybe you didn’t remain standing.
Ah yes, welcome to the joys of advancing age… Pass the zimmerframe, will you, dear.
Nah, I have a few more weeks left in me until I need one.
