Abel Pharmboy over at Terra Sigillata has tagged me with this meme. His was insightful and interesting. Since it has been a while since I posted[1] I figured this would be a nice easy post to do even if it isn't insightful or interesting.

HOLY HOT ROCKS BATMAN!! We have too much in common. I lived in Denial. Which part were you in? I was in the "no I'm not spending too much on needless shit" section of town. Love summer sausage! I think Hickory Farms should be in the mall year round, not just at Christmas. And I Bez an edumacator two.
Knew there was a reason (or two) I like reading your blog. :-)
I lived on the corner of "I'm going to make a difference" and "I can do anything." I violated enough ordinances and got kicked out of State of Denial. Now I live in a place called Brutal Reality.
Do decrocodiles bite you in denial?

Bean Walker - that is the first time I have heard of that job. Sounds awfully exciting!
