I thought Meme was the gal on the Drew Carey Show with the scary blue eye shadow but apparently I was, as usual mistaken. Thanks Sandra.
Who is your favorite musical artist? I do so hate to be unoriginal but Fleetwood Mac with Stevie Nicks is right up there. I saw them a number of years ago, lawn seats, perfect summer night, slight breeze, Stevie belting out Landslide. One of those perfect moments. Prince is right up there at the top as well, he is incredibly talented and has helped so many artists. No conversation about my favorite music would be complete without a mention of Metalica. I could go on about the talent they have as musicians, the longevity of their careers but I won't. They rock. I like that.
Who is your favorite artist? I grew up in some tough neighborhoods so I know several artists who can make amazing art with cans of spray paint but I will protect them by not mentioning names. I also know a few tattoo artists who create art from the human canvas. Very cool, but creepy to hang in a museum. My favorite "regular" artist is Marc Chagall.
If you could meet anyone (alive or dead), who would it be and what is the most interesting thing about them? Ayn Rand. Elizabeth I. My biological mother.
What did you want to be when you grow up? That's easy. The President.
Who is your favorite blogger? Bukaty, Sardi and Lenza. Also some dude named JL. Funny stuff.
What is the most interesting piece of trivia you know? The childhood song/game Ring around the Rosie is about the plague. Okay, morbid, but I do think about that every time I hear kids singing that. Oh, and Pop goes the Weasel is an old English drinking song. Maybe this is why I don't have kids.
If you could live in any point in history when would it be and why? Like the Van Halen song "Right Now, Right here and now"
What was the most interesting job you've ever held? Sales training for car dealerships. I got to travel all around the country teaching used car guys how to sell. You want to talk about interesting???
Now lets see. For the next 8.
Bill Engelman.
Yup, that's it. he's the only one I know who hasn't already been tagged.
Beth, again ... I have enjoyed the chance to meet you. President? I can see. Evita Peron -- now that's your ticket! ;)
Beth... Loved the lawn seats back in the day when concert going was fun and festive... Frisbees, Beach Balls Beer and Babes.... Like Lenza I also sensed that aura of power you possess..
Beth - Wow, I didn't know that about Ring around the Rosie ... but I did know about you wanting to be the President. Need a running mate?
Hmmm..... Beth & Sardi... The B-S ticket... Could be a challenging marketing campain.
Beth....Boy that was fast....President...as your first act you can't give Dan a pardon from doing his meme...
Beth... Everyone is stealing my answers! I have Ayn Rand at the top of my list and Fleetwood Mac is at my core. On the other hand, I would NEVER want to be president, so you and Sardi go right ahead and start your own party. Meanwhile, I'll be hidden in some dark hallway looking for the nearest escape hatch :)
Love this meme!
p.s. Just who is this JL guy??
Lenza- It is my pleasure. Eva Peron? I'm not sure I see being the "Spiritual Leader" of Argentina but she was a strong woman and a great role model so thank you! :)
Dan- Frisbees, beach balls, beer and babes. Sounds like any party at my house. Of course the concert is usually Scott singing "Born to be Wild" over and over again. Painful to say the least.
Sardi- What would our campaign platform be?? Mortgages and cocktails for all??
Dan- You again? The BS party would be acurate but if we really wanted votes we'd use BOTH of our first name initials!
Sandra- No pardons for Dan! No pardons for anyone!
Jennifer- No party would be complete without you. And really, someone would have to get Sardi out from behind his computer screen. I don't think I'm up to the task but he loves you so he might actually listen to you.

Beth, I will go next. Also, we worked together for how many years and you mis-spelled my name!! I want, no demand, a public aplogy.
Beth - You should definitely run on a first name platform, you will be a shoe in to get elected. lol
Engelman Shemengleman- You'll always be Billy Billy Billy to me.
Sandra- I will send Sardi a memo. Since he will be vice president and riding my coattails I think he is the one who should make sure campaign promises are met.
Beth for President, YEAH!!!!!!! Does that make me 1st Dude Fella, Man??? It's tradition to misspell Bills name. Don't tell anyone, but I think he's wacked!!! shh
