Fragebögen
Friend Holger, who blogs at Next Big Thing in Everything tapped me a while ago to do this questionnaire thingie. Here are my responses.
Which is your one favourite weblog and why?
My current favorite is The Consumerist. I love the way
they write (a recent post is titled, Companies ask you to do their advertising for
their lazy asses.) I also like the free crap roundup.

Never put off for tomorrow what you can do today.
Nothing is impossible.
Three songs you like to listen to. what do you like about 'em?
Lookin' Out My Back Door - Creedance Clearwater Revival
- it reminds me of being a kid and vacationing with my family.
And When I Die - Blood, Sweat & Tears
- I honestly don't know, but I do like the tune.
Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress - The Hollies
- I just do. :-)
Four foodstuffs or meals you hate. and why?
I do not eat lamb. I.don't.like.it.

I do not eat liver. Reason? Same as above.
Five movies you would like to watch in 2006
Anything that does not have Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes or any other
overhyped actor in it, period!
Six words that come to your mind spontaneously. in which context?
Here's 9 in Dutch, then translated to english:

(You're equipped with the intellect of a little pancake.) :-)

Which is your one favourite weblog and why?
Oh that's not fair! They're ALL faves or we wouldn't be looking at them. I suppose we'd have to say 'Cakesniffers' at the moment, because she makes us laugh (I'm sure sometimes unintentionally) and we're convinced she's quite mad.
Your two preferred philosophies for life ("worldly wisdom")'?
However bad it is, there's always something that'll make you smile;
A penny in your pocket and you're never skint (broke).
Three songs you like to listen to. what do you like about 'em?
Lola's theme by Shapeshifters because it reminds me of my Superhero Tazzy.
Past, Present and Future by the Shangri-la's - it's the saddest song I've ever listened to, but beautiful and poignant.
Sowing The Seeds of Love by Tears For Fears because I thinks it's bloody excellent and clever (in a Bohemian Rhapsody kind of way).
Four foodstuffs or meals you hate. and why?
Aubergine - because it's fucking disgusting.
Any kind of offal - for the same reason.
Tomato based sauces because they give me indigestion (even though I can eat tomatoes until they come out of my ears, oddly).
Baked beans - not because of the tomato sauce. I don't know why, I just don't like them.
Five movies you would like to watch in 2006
Cindy said 'Anything that does not have Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes or any other overhyped actor in it, period!' ... I'll say exactly the same thing.
Six words that come to your mind spontaneously. in which context?
'Why do I always answer these?' explanation not necessary.
Who would you like to answer this stupid questionnaire next?
God. Failing him, his son (it is Easter, after all and he might pop in for a visit).
Brain matter deposited by: Piggy and Tazzy on April 14, 2006 8:23 AM
Now Tazzy's turn.
Which is your one favourite weblog and why?
Sniffy (Cakesniffer) because she share's our sense of humour and doesn't care who she offends when speaking reality. And considering she's a lesbo, she's actually quite nice.
Your two preferred philosophies for life ("worldly wisdom")'?
Live life to the full. You're only here once.
Treat others how you would wish to be treated yourself.
Three songs you like to listen to. what do you like about 'em?
Winner Takes It All by the fabulous Abba - It's a fab song and the first few chords makes the hair on the back of the neck stand up.
You Spin Me Round by Dead Or Alive - Just because I've always liked it.
Lola's Theme by Shapeshifters because it's a fantastic dance song and it reminds me of my Wee Piggy!
Four foodstuffs or meals you hate. and why?
Any kind of shellfish - It's just bloody awful to look at. Some of them look like snot.
Tripe (the lining of a sheeps stomach!) - Vile, vile, vile.
Dark chocolate - the taste is too strong.
Beef dripping - As long as I can remember, my mum has always bought it and it looks awful.
Five movies you would like to watch in 2006
If six really good horror films come out in 2006, then that's what I'd like to see.
Six words that come to your mind spontaneously. in which context?
'Piggy Always Makes Me Do These.' Context obvious.
Who would you like to answer this stupid questionnaire next?
SID the Stupid Irish Daddy.

You wild boyz. I forgot to mention that you should respond to the questionnaire on your own blogs, not in the comments. My bad. Only Susan understood that -- neener, neener!
Ned - sorry about the Frappr Map problems. I posted instructions so hopefully that will help you. Do let me know!
