Rock on Kansas City

Monday, July 25

Oh dear.

I am not going to admit whose blog I took this from (let me just say it was definately NOT Grant Van Nostrand's). It's like loaded questions online.

Anonymously post the following in a comment, and I will try (poorly) to guess who you are.

1. Something about you that I don't know.
2. One compliment (i assume of me, but do as you will).
3. One criticism (again, me or as you see fit).
4. Something you love.
5. Lyrics to a song (excerpt please).
6. The city that best sums up your ideals.

  • 1. Sometimes I shed a single tear after crushing an innocent ant betweenst my fingers.
    2. Your legs are really long.
    3. You have freakishly long legs.
    4. german
    5. Our love is like the border between Greece and Albania
    Trucks loaded down with weapons
    Crossing over every night
    Moon yellow and bright
    6. spatula city

    you'll never get me, gray

  • Wow. This is way harder than I thought it would be. So the Mountain Goats I know from Lorena, but she doesn't even know my blog and wouldn't care if she did. But on the way to NJ I found that Zach and Atom also know the MGs. The German thing throws me and the ant thing is just gross. Spatula City I seem to remember from an actual game of Loaded Questions.

    I think my answer is Zach. Though before I make a final decision, I want to ask the audience. If you care, anyone you can also post if you think I am anywhere close or if you have your own guess.

  • I don't think that is Zach. But I feel like mine will be easy...

    1. I was a vegetarian for five years. Or more. I can't remember.
    2. You are like sooooo thin! OMG you must be like a ZERO! I am like, sooooo totally jealous.
    3. You're too skinny, damnit.
    4. Penguins.
    5. I never meant to give you mushrooms girl
    I never meant to bring you to this world
    But now you're sitting in the corner crying
    And now it's my fault
    6. Anywhere but Washington DC

  • 1. I am completely, utterly terrified of E.T.
    2. You are incredibly sensitive and amazing to talk to. (that was a horribly written sentence)
    3. I agree with the second person. You're too skinny.
    4. All of my millions of stuffed animals from when I was a kid.
    5. All broken up,
    I just sailed through the atmosphere,
    guided by love
    and the hair that brought me here.
    Stuffed in a box of CDs
    from my last good year,
    I found myself in
    the hair that brought me here.
    6. Tough one...New York City.

  • 1. In high school, my best friend and I used to graffitti "Pity poor Grendel" and "e^iπ+1=0" on the walls.
    2. You're a sweet drummer.
    3. You never shut up.
    4. I love words.
    5. If you and I had any brains, we wouldn't be in this place. Chop me up into pieces, if it pleases, if it pleases. And when the chopping is through, every piece will say "I love you."
    6. Bangkok, Thailand. It's all squalid and teeming.

  • Ok I missed a lot of happenings. I wish I had an LJ so I could give these comments some order :)

    I will distinguish you with your answer to number 1. Oooh and please post to tell me if I ever get one! And some of these are COMPLETE guesses. So when I'm wrong, please don't be insulted. I still love you.

  • 1. I fart a lot.
    2. That Jude Law is one good looking fella.
    3. It feels like Rick Santorum is really out of touch with reality. What's up with that?

    6. Athens

    You'll never get me, Gray!

  • It seems I have been mistaken about the first (and also non-Zach) poster. While I admit now that spatula city and the age-old "gray" taunt should have clued me in, I likely never would have figured it out if she didn't tell me.

    anyway, fart a lot confuses me. my first thought was "clever use of misinterpretation, allusion to a popular cheerleading tune, reincorporation of a taunt...must be scott!" then my mind got the best of me. would zach reuse the taunt because he knows i think he first gave it to me? he is by his own admission gross sometimes. eh, my guess remains. hopefully i'm not wrong if this is one of the challenges on "Who wants to be my Best Man?"

    Farts a lot - Scoot

    By Blogger Brian, at 8:41 PM  

  • Then again, maybe it's just atom.

    By Blogger Brian, at 9:34 PM  

  • fruit trees is not julie. you suck. (not really)

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 11:18 AM  

  • But the farter was Scott!

    I think Catherine has friut trees.

  • 1. when i was two, i escaped from my nap time and walked halfway around the block wearing nothing but a large hat.
    2. you are very gentle.
    3. you freak out too much when you have to make decisions.
    4. pineapple pizza
    5. "oh, there's an empty place in my bones that calls out for something unknown. the fame and praise come year after year does nothing for these empty tears"
    6. vice city

  • ok, i've realized (thanks to ram and katie) that fruit trees is actually catherine. hogsmeade. i really never thought that she would compliment my pants. and then i remembered living with her for a year.

    though jack's lament surprises me, i still have to guess

    when i was two - atom

    By Blogger Brian, at 9:54 PM  

  • WRONG! not atom!

    By Anonymous Anonymous, at 11:54 AM  

  • Jack's Lament! Pineapple pizza! I should have known this must be Julie Brown. Unless it's not. But I think it is.

    nothing but a hat - Julie Brown
