THAT sounds like a dare. I'm gonna only answer the scar one, because it's funny. I did my meme for the year ;)
Done and done! You'll get a kick out of this one, you sick sick girl ;)
Hey Mamazilla, great answers! I can't believe you actually ate haggis...how was it?
puglet - oh no. we've sunk to a new subterranean level... it's like we're blog sparring now - with those plastic cocktail swords....
angela - it was as gross as it sounds. i just barely tossed it when i ate it. but i was amongst drinking buddies and i did it on a dare.
You know, it wasn't as funny as I thought. I'll stick to sparring with you elsewhere using thinly veiled food references and foriegn languages.
Very clever answers, my friend. Did you actually finish the haggis?
