Name a CD you own that no-one else on your friends list does:

My friend Doug’s homemade but wonderful CD Spammaps--himself and his stuffed pig singing low-down blues (he wrote them, too, but his wife dressed the pig in a slinky dress).

Name a book you own that no-one else on your friends list does:

Just got The Web That Has No Weaver, an explanation of Chinese traditional medicine. But if someone has that, I’m sure no one has Charleston Receipts.

Name a movie you own on DVD/VHS/whatever that no-one else on your friends list does:

I hope someone does have Chushingura (The Forty Ronin), but I doubt it.

Name a place that you have visited that no-one else on your friends list has:

Besides Cameroon? I can name a lot of weird southern places, but have you Californians been to Philo, in Mendecino County?

Name a piece of clothing that no-one else on your friends list has:

A Women in Black tee shirt? An ankle-length black satin apron?

Name an occupation that you've had that no-one else on your friends list has had:

I was a spy for Shoney’s. Unknown to the staff there, I’d go in and eat like a normal person (if eating at Shoney’s is normal) and observe to see if the floor was clean and the servers came and asked if everything was OK, etc. Then Shoney’s reimbursed me. A very strange job.

LOL, a spy. Well, my day just keeps getting better.

And I lust your black satin apron. I only wear them sometimes, it is always amusing, and a black satin one would be most excellent.

Name an occupation that you've had that no-one else on your friends list has had:

Well, I once spent 10 days cleaning the blue dust off of hundreds of hothouse cucumbers. This was during my stay in Greece, on the island of Crete. (I know lots of lewd cucumber jokes now!)

"Just got The Web That Has No Weaver, an explanation of Chinese traditional medicine. But if someone has that, I’m sure no one has Charleston Receipts."

You'll have to go with Charleston Receipts because The Web That Has No Weaver has been on my bookshelf (http://www.livejournal.com/users/atpolittlebit/14958.html) since 1988.

And I hate to spoil your #6, but I too was a Spy. When my dad left (when I was 14), my mom got a job as doing quality checks for Kentucky Fried Chicken. We'd drive to a city, and take turns hitting about 10-15 stores a day. We'd order food and then run out to the car and stick thermometers in the chicken/coleslaw/etc. to make sure they were warm/cold enough. We also had a changing list of questions about greetings, cleanliness, did they offer us desert/corn on the cob etc. Once everything was recorded, and the food stowed, we'd pull out the map and drive to the next KFC.

But it is kinda cool - being a spy - isn't it!! A feeling of incredible power, and hey - free food!

I have not seen Chushingura, but I now intend to. I was a "secret shopper" briefly, but I only did one assignment. I didn't really enjoy it much.

Just looks a little weird over my traditional cooking outfit of oversized purple sweatshirt...

I'll bet you do--in Greek, too, I'll bet! That is a strange one.

Great! It is so well written, and so clear. Do you use CTM for ailments? or maybe do you practice?

Love your list--that came out while I was in my summer LJ hiatus.

And a really great way to feed kids when you're low in $$$! But I've never craved to go back to Shoney's, for some reason.

From: [identity profile] mamculuna.livejournal.com


The only good thing about the Shoney's job was feeding my children free at a very broke time of my life. I didn't like it, either.

The Web That Has No Weaver is beautifully written and was a present from my son who is going to Chinese Traditional Medicine school--he says its the best on the subject.

Happy Birthday! Hope you're having a great day!
