Kim tagged me with this meme. I intend to take liberties with this particular meme, firstly because I am without husband and so a list of mushy stuff about a husband that I don’t and shouldn’t have is just silly, and secondly because that’s just the sort of person I am. I will, however, continue the trend of providing seven lists of seven items. Of course, that is what the meme is really about, anyway. I hope.

My friend Matthew, a talented young journalist who calls himself a reporter, once wrote a masterpiece of a list. I present to you this list in its entirety and am counting it as one of my seven. Sorry that his list has nine items, but I thought them all so necessary that I couldn’t find it in myself to delete even one.

      Things Whut I [Matthew] Like

• euphemisms
• baths
• green tea
• Wal Mart
• people who write Armenian Proverbs (ie. Armenians)
• things whut are called extreme, like pit stick, sports and hot sauce
• sniffing my hands after I’ve worn latex gloves for a while
• lists
• otters

With Matthew as my guide, I present my six lists of seven.

      Seven Things Whut I (Andrew) Like

• coffee, ice cream, and any combination thereof
• the lynx (second only to my pets among animals)
  
• losing track of time (just ask my mother)
• junky old cars, abandoned mines, and any combination thereof
• panini, or grilled sandwiches if I’m in a pinch
• things whut are either way too big, or way too small
• hand cream (we all get dry skin from time to time)

      Seven Things Whut I Don’t Get

• Is a coon’s age a long time?
• Why do I stink at, as well as after, fishing?
  
• Why aren’t plantains more popular than onions?
  
• Are you supposed to kick a horse that isn’t dead?
• Why don’t people say methinks anymore?

I’m not going to tag anyone specifically, but the more the merrier when it comes to memes. Maybe, my mother might like to muddle with this meme?
