    The Old MI-5 from last week:

    (Bill’s One through Five MI-5)

    1) What  one movie makes you say “I hope I never waste another two hours on
    that again”

    Taladega Nights.

    2) Stretch your left and and your right hand out to your side. What two
    things do you touch?

    On the right: My work phone. On the left: Printed instructions for playing Tigris & Euphrates.

    3) You’re being roasted at the Friar’s Club. What three comedians are at
    the head table with you?

    George Carlin, Jerry Seinfeld and Josh Blue

    4) You’re making supper for someone special in your life. What four things
    (entree, side, vegetable, dessert) do you prepare?

    If I were making the dinner for someone usually I would pick their favorite foods. Since I don’t kwow who that someone is I will pick what I make best:

    Entree: Chicken Enchiladas with Green sauce (i can make red ones too).

    Side: Spanish Rice

    Veggie: Corn

    Dessert: My mom’s brownie recipe because they are the best…except I would exclude the nuts because I don’t like nuts in my chocolate.

    5) What five minor things would you change about your current
    domicile?

    New kitchen appliances (like dishwasher and fridge and range/over). New Carpet. Hardwood in the kitchen instead of linoleum. A nicer patio. A shower in both bathrooms instead of just one.

    And finally this weeks mi-5:

    (Bill’s Pet Peeves)

    I don’t know what inspired this, but let’s talk about pet peeves! You
    know, those little things that are really not important, but still
    drive you crazy. Tell me about your pet peeves:

    1) At the office

    I hate being interrupted when I am on the phone with a customer (or anyone really). And I can’t stand coming in from lunch and being told what I need to do before I have even had a chance to sit in my chair or set down my bag. I also don’t like it when people take my good pens. I have taken to stashing those. Those are my biggest peeves. I have more.  But I don’t want to go on and on.

    2) In the bathroom
    Just replace the toliet paper. That is all I ask. You use it? You replace it. Oh…and if you sprinkle when you tinkle…wipe up your damn mess! How gross is that?

    3) In the kitchen

    I hate pot-pickers. It disturbs to be cooking something and having someone else come in and stick there mits in the  food to “taste” it. Because certain pot-pickers have been known to eat all of one ingredient out of the pot because it was their favorite. That pisses me off to no extent.  Also…not big on the double dipping…unless you are family…but even then it grosses me out just a little.

    4) From someone important in your life

    I absolutely can not stand to be talked over. It really pisses me off and hurts my feelings at the same time.  It makes me feel like I am not important enough to listen too…(hence the hurt feelings) and then I get pissed and eventually if you don’t get the hint I will just stop talking completely and usually I will just get up and leave the room. Have some respect….if I am talking LISTEN (or not I really don’t care- that is up to you- whoa is that passive aggressive or what?) or at least wait your turn.

    5) On the road
    Oh there are so many. I can’t stand tailgaters. I  can’t stand it when people are trying to merge and the people in traffic won’t leave a spot for them to merge into…I also hate it when someone is trying to merge and they just stop and wait for a huge spot.

    So there you have the big catch up.

    Dude, I am SO with you on Talledaga Nights! That movie was at LEAST 45 minutes too long. What was funny at first ceased to be funny after you were subjected to it over and over (and over!).

    I hate being talked over too!

    And finally…is that a TONGUE in your header?
