Columbus, Oh. Spent 8 yrs there dodging buckeye riots and horrible weather.
Least favorite College mascot
Scottsdale (AZ) Community College Fighting Artichokes
Least favorite high school course
nm ninjae’d
Geometery, only because the teacher was fussy prick. I did poorly despite getting all the answers on the tests right because I had my name a little askew from where he demanded it be.
Least favorite teacher
Mrs. Hamilton, who was born during the Grant administration. Got me off to a good start at age 5 in first grade by punishing me for something I didn’t do. My first lesson in trusting authority.
Least favorite pet you ever had
Technically I was too young to even be aware of any possible bad feelings on my side, but my parents had a miniature poodle called Pepi when they had me. He was insanely jealous of me, would soil the drapes and do other sorts of actings-out. Ironically, I turned out to be a big animal lover and never had a “problem” pet ever again.
Least favorite “present” your pet left you (may include least favorite “place” it got left at)
Ive only had one cat that brought a shrew in the house, so I guess that was it.
Least favorite disc jockey on local radio station
Whoever the hell it was who lasted for all of three weeks on the local station recently. No class, no personality; he made it sound like he was hosting under a court order. Glad he’s gone.
Least favorite snack food?
Chex mix. Because it tastes like ass.
Least favorite thing you sometimes get stuck eating for breakfast when you are out of everything else.
gas station cheese danishes - they’re not bad, but just kind of a jab that I was too slack to replenish my larder
least favorite frozen food
frozen fruit of all sorts completely loses its’ shape and texture when it starts to thaw
least favorite Broadway hit
My Fair Lady. Pygmalion was fine as it was.
Least favorite live show you’ve ever seen (play, musical, circus, Grand Guignol, puppet show, magic show, etc.)
Puff the Magic Clown - this was in high school. Puff the Clown’s magic tricks were fine for grade-school audiences, but not for more savvy high-schoolers. He didn’t even have his hot babe assistant Brenlinda with him. Volunteers from the audience weren’t impressed and would shout “It’s in your sleeve!” Poor guy managed to make it through the show, but it was hugely awkward.
Least favorite educational experience
Going bowling in high school gym class.
Least favorite field trip in school.
I honestly cannot remember any field trips, other than to remember that I actually went on them.
Least favorite prize you’ve won
Got a ribbon for 95th place in a cross country meet senior year (I wasn’t a long distance runner. I was just trying to keep in shape for track in the spring as a jumper/sprinter). Ribbons were awarded to 100th. I’d rather I didn’t get a ribbon at all than be reminded of how much I hate cross country.
Least favorite track or field event.
Any run that wasn’t a short sprint.
Least favorite field trip in school that you can remember.
That one where we went to the police station in first grade. I threw up in the Chief of Police’s office.
Least favorite specious historical analogy
Trump’s belief that we should have a nuclear arsenal to exceed the amount we had in the late 60’s, mainly because he didn’t like that his administration has such low numbers in comparison, leading Tillerson to call him a moron.
least favorite thing millenials do
Come up to you and tell you they just posted something on Facebook, and when you say “What?” they tell you to go read it, and when you say “You’re here-- just tell me,” they say, “No, go look up the Facebook post-- and tell me if you liked it.”
Least favorite recent foreign loan word in English (or if your native language is something else, you can post something else, just explain).
