We got tagged in the latest dumb blog game by our buddy�Sensible Mom, and our shy editor�Bird Dog got me out of my sickbed to�request that I respond, to represent Maggie's Farm. OK - five personal things about me that you probably don't know and don't care to know:

1. I have bad luck with girls but I keep trying.
2. I have already blown half of my New Year's resolutions.
3. My favorite foods are clams and oysters on the half-shell, with beer. Also, stuffed clams. I hate shrimp.
4. I do not own a suit.
5. My favorite gun is my Belgian Browning 12 ga.�O/U.

Now I have to tag some folks. But who? Man, is this stupid.

Totally stupid. What is wrong with these people? I suspect they are akin to the go-along-to-get-along folk of fear societies, heavy and lite . . . Natan Sharansky's doublethinkers:

News Junkie. I can't find the game, but:

1) You need a suit.

2) Some of us have eliglible girls, but you're gonna hafta give us more, like you could learn to like shrimp, too, and intend to do target practice once a week to stay in practice for protecting our female progeny---

3) Swear you'll do your part to have g-children with necks and personality.

"What, me worry?"

I'm still laughing over that line, lo these many years a gone.

Can I play?

1. I had bad luck with girls, got lucky, got married, and stopped trying.
2. I've learned not to make New Year's resolutions.
3. My favorite foods are razor clams and oysters on the half-shell. With beer is good, without is OK, too.
4. I own maybe ten suits, but I don't know how many fit. See #2 above.
5. My favorite gun is the one I'll buy next.

I've had great luck with girls. Now I'm flat broke.

You are not responsible for promises made when legally drunk.

Oysters on the half shell. I once had 23 different species at the Oyster Bar under Grand Central Station. Clams steamed. Bloody mary's - better than cocktail sauce.

I have owned suits - out of necessity. I now have 2 pair of shorts and about 10 tee-shirts - not a logo to be found.

Favorite weapon: M-1 Garand - field strip blindfolded in 15 seconds.

Sorry that I put you on the spot, News Junkie. I know the game is silly and feels like those annoying chain letters I get from friends that I always delete. That's why I hoped my e-mail indicated to have fun if you wanted to participate.

And no I'm not one of those go-along to get-along types Sisu referred to above since I don't normally play these games of tag.

Anyway, I hope you're feeling better.

1. Sensible: Sorry about that. No prob. I just wasn't in the mood to play.
2. The Oyster Bar: Yes. It's the best. And the oyster stew makes you feel like you're in heaven - and the cream in it will get you to heaven quicker.
3. Trying is lying. Never heard that. Ain't it the truth? Or, as Yoda says, Do, or don't do. There is no "try".

No one asked but that's not stopping me....
1. I like eggs benedict for brunch with champagne
2. I like filet mignon with wine for dinner
3. I rarely get either
4. In college I had a 1965 Corvette Sting Ray convertible.
5. I own many guns and am good with them all
6. My grandfather played professional baseball in the 20's and 30's
7. I am getting older

No one asked me either but I'll have a go.
1. I know how to play cribbage.
2. I can drive a forklift.
3. I knew quite a few folks who went to Woodstock. (talking bout my generation) Most of them did not amount to much. /s
4. My best friend could hang by her toes.
5. I was a skinny kid but I could beat all the boys at leg wrestling.
