T1G smacked me with a MeMe. I canÂ’t be too upset with him as I tagged him with one not to long ago. What meme is this? Apparently, Lee Ann of Lee AnnÂ’s View decided there were not enough MeMes in the world and that she wanted to reserve a seat on the buss to hell, so she created this one. ThatÂ’s right; there is a special place in hell reserved for people that create MeMes. (Oh, IÂ’m watching you now Lee Ann, IÂ’m watching you!) ItÂ’s a Christmas themed MeMe; you have to list your top five favorite Christmas movies, ones that get you in the spirit of Christmas.

Here I go:

1) A Christmas Carol. It doesnÂ’t matter which version you watch, but this is my favorite Christmas show. I say show because I especially enjoy it on stage. There is nothing better then watching actors use their craft to spin this DickensÂ’ classic. My favorite movie version is the one with Patrick Stewart, but the George C. Scott version is a close second.

2) A Christmas Story. I remember the first time I saw this movie. My family was invited to a Christmas party and the host had rented this movie for the kids. I was 11 and Ralphie reminded me a lot of myself. I could connect with him on a personal level. I quote this movie all the time, in fact over the weekend while moving boxes I made a comment about how the items where “fragile” (Fra-GEE-lay), which is French Italian! (H/t to Lee Ann on correcting that.) Of course, no one else got the reference.

3) ItÂ’s a Wonderful Life. I love this movie, but I have to admit to you something. IÂ’ve seen the whole thing probably a couple hundred times, but IÂ’ve never been able to sit down and watch it all in one continuous block of time. I always catch pieces of it on TV, or IÂ’ll have to stop the video to do something else. After 32 years of life, you would think that I would be able to do this, but I just canÂ’t. Every year I try, something happens, and I have to stop it or leave in the middle.

4) Santa Claus conquers the Martians. This is a cheesy 60Â’s sci-fi flick. The special effects are just that, special. The story is hokey and the acting is bland at best. Yet it makes me giggle every time I see it.

5) The Santa Clause. This movie is just hilarious. I havenÂ’t seen the sequel, so I canÂ’t vouch for that one. Tim AllenÂ’s performance in this is hilarious and I love the scene when he is walking through the shop and they have ZZtop playing in the background.

Well thatÂ’s it, my five. Now IÂ’m supposed to tag five people. Well whom to tag? Well obviously Oddybobo, like she wonÂ’t see this coming after tagging me twice in a row. I should nail Sarah of ThatÂ’s Not Very Nice, just for the hell of it. Next, IÂ’m going to tag CalTechGirl, I donÂ’t know if IÂ’ve ever tagged her before, but IÂ’m going to today. Hmmm, How about Johnny-oh of Closet Extremist, his choices could be interesting. Finally IÂ’m going to tag Ogre. Why Ogre? Well we all know how much he loves MeMes, plus he has his new festive blog design. This should be right up his alley!

Oddybobo must think IÂ’m her personal whipping boy. She is one meme away from tying Bou for tagging me the most with these things. DAMMIT, thatÂ’s two with in 3 weeks sheÂ’s hit me with! (I don't care if I did end that sentence with a preposition, I'm so mad I could spit!)Ya know, youÂ’d think IÂ’d done some horrible thing to her family and sheÂ’s out to get revenge. Either that or a comment I made in the past is coming back to haunt me, in a very unusual way.

I spent 30 minutes wishing her hair would fall out all at once. No permanent damage, just something that would be difficult to explain during the holidays, it could grow back in January. Then I sat down to look at what this stupid MEME is.

Five weird habits I have. Is this the top five, most common five, most embarrassing five? It doesnÂ’t say, so I guess I just pick five of the couple of thousand strange habits I have.

A) When IÂ’m alone I will scream out nonsense phrases at the top of my lungs while making funny faces. Yep, IÂ’m like a tourettes plagued simpleton when IÂ’m by myself.

2) At night I grind my teeth (not so weird); IÂ’ve done this ever since I can remember. Every time I go to the dentist, they comment on how IÂ’ve drastically altered the shape and density of my teeth. My molars are sharper then peoples incisors. Dentists have bent, BENT, tools on my teeth during check ups and cleaning (Not a habit, but weird). I routinely eat bones just to see other peopleÂ’s reaction when I easily bite through them. (Weird habit)

D) I cannot remember the last time my fingernails have seen a trimmers. Using my ever-sharpened teeth, I will bite them off in a clean line as to look like theyÂ’ve been trimmed.

4) I have never slept for more then 5 hours straight, I always have to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. It doesnÂ’t matter if I go to the bathroom right before bed or quit drinking anything four hours before I go to sleep. Inevitably, every night I wake up approximately four hours into the night to go to the bathroom.

E) At night when my wife is sleeping, IÂ’ll stare at her boobs and start toÂ… IÂ’m kidding, jeez people, this is not THAT kind of blog. My last final weird habit is that I like to say things purely for the shock factor of it, no matter how much trouble it brings me.

Finally, IÂ’m supposed to tag five people. Whom to tag? I know!

Dr. Phat Tony. HeÂ’s good at making lists, plus this helps me send another link his way for all this stuff: History of Thanksgiving, History of Discovery of America, How to Join the Canadian Army and Girls Gone Wild. Apparently heÂ’s already number one for Humpback Midget.

Bouddica: Because I owe her, and I may as well tag her before she tags me!

Barb: I donÂ’t think IÂ’ve every sent her any link love, and IÂ’m not sure she wants this kind.

Chemicalnova: HeÂ’s hiding something over there.

Wes: He just needs something to put up on that blog and heÂ’s NEVER done a meme. Consider your cherry popped BEOTCH!

Remember you have to reveal 5 "weird" habits you have and then "tag" five more unsuspecting idiots people to do it. Yea, I know. Don't blame me, blame Oddybobo. SHE tagged me!
