Ok...stealing another idea here! Because what's a good idea if it can't be stolen. So Marie came up with an idea for a YouYou. Then Ronnica shamelessly stole it and changed the questions. Now I am going to take a shot at it as well. The way you play...leave me a comment. Say anything you want in the comment. Then it's my turn. I will respond to these 4 items based on YOU!
1. I'll remind you of the first time we met. (If I haven't ever met you I'll just make something up!)
2. Where I would go on vacation with you.
3. What superhero you remind me of.
4. The one food item we love to share.
If you have a blog I will be scouring it for some hints as to who you are so make sure to leave me your blog address! Thanks for playing. (EDIT - It's never too late to get in on this action. Just leave me a comment here, and I will do a youyou for you! If you have a blog make sure you leave the address or that it is in your profile. Thanks for playing!)
(Aren't you glad I am coming home today? I'll actually have time to sit down and write a post instead of scheduling them to post while I'm gone. And I know...I didn't have to post anything...I just thought it would be fun! Now...get to commenting! I'll be back soon!)

Oddly enough, with presented with the ability to leave a comment saying ANYTHING...I am speechless...
yay! I'm glad you're doing this and I hope your trip was wonderful!
I'd like to get in on this, just remember I don't have a US passport.
Ah, this should be fun! I'm really excited about this... as silly as that is. :-) I will await your reply.
This sounds really fun! I don't know how much you'll be able to do for me because we just met, but I am very interested.
I guess I'll put my blog addy up here so I make sure you have it... plus it's shameless plugging for my blog :-) http://insanityasawaddell.blogspot.com/
Neat idea ;) I hope that camping went well!

1. i was out walking my kids (yes...i have to force them to walk with me...) when we came upon you laying in your yard writhing in pain. there was a bump on your head and one eye was swollen shut. we were able to figure out that you stepped on the rake that m had dragged out into the yard and left in a fire ant mound. when you stepped on the rake it launched fire ants which landed in your good eye. you looked pitiful, but m was so cute standing over you saying sorr-ree.

"Murphy saw a roll of barbed wire lying on the ground. He picked it up, walked over to the guards, and announced: "Murphy. Ireland. Fencing.""
:}
Yeah, we were awful smelly... Sorry about the funnel cake...if it makes you feel better, you have a better chance of having some before I do...I haven't been to any fair in probably 12 years or so! Oh, and I'd LOVE the ability to be in 3 places at once!
OK...I am super-stressed out to the point that I clench my jaw so much that I can hardly chew by the end of the day. Yippee!!!

1. when we were both picked to review potential tv shows for a major tv network. we ended up getting fired, because we had way too much in common and they didn't like that everything reminded us of some 80's hair band song. evidently breaking out into song was distracting for the other reviewers. whatever!

1. several days after easter i was casually out walking when all of a sudden an easter egg splatted on the sidewalk in front of me. i had no idea where it came from. a few minutes later i heard this woman scream, "i can't possibly eat another one of these eggs. easter bunny, you win. i give up!" and another egg landed at my feet. i noticed this half-crazed woman, that would be you, getting ready to launch a few more eggs so i took them off your hands to save them from an untimely death.

(i don't really have a recipe using all of the above ingredients so if you want to make one up to give to me you can...i ate something similar to this once!)

Guess what? You're probably not gonna believe this....although I work in the culinary field for a living....I've never had a pickle. Ever. :)
Hi Literal Dan! So I've never gone to The Sneeze, but I'm definitely checking it out now!
