Tag…I’m It (Again)
by Jenners • 07/18/2012 • Tag Chicken With Trisha • 58 Comments
That vixen Trisha just won’t give up so here is yet another round of Tag Chicken.
- What is the appropriate way to determine who gets the arm rest at a movie theatre? A knife fight to the death seems a bit extreme so perhaps an unstated arm wrestling match (i.e., whoever can displace the other person’s arm wins). This is pretty much the technique that Mr. Jenners and I use.
- What extreme sport would you like to try if you were totally unafraid? Can you ever see yourself doing it? I’m very curious about the experience of parachuting. However, my extreme fear of heights, death and falling would never allow me to actually do it.
- What one thing would you change about yourself (other than the typical female answer of looks, weight, etc.)? So many things would be better if I had more willpower.
- Would you rather have a butler, cook, maid, or nanny? I have zero need for a butler so that is out. I would personally love to have a cook, but a maid is rather attractive too, and ultimately cooking would take less time than constant cleaning. And a nanny would be heavenly at times, but I can’t picture using these services as much as a cook or a maid. In the end, I think I’d go with a cook and hope he/she would clean up the dishes as well. After all, I can clean but I really can’t cook.
- Are vacations a time to experience new things or relax? The best vacations have both. On our upcoming cruise, we’re going to swim with the dolphins and snorkel after jumping off a tall ship, but I also expect to sleep in and have plenty of downtime as well.
- Cougars. Awesome or disgusting? Are we talking older ladies or cats? The cats are awesome, and I suppose the ladies are too … but not as much.
- Would you rather your husband learned how to ballroom dance or dirty dance? If my husband was Channing Tatum, I’d say dirty dance (but I know he knows how to do that already). However, in the real world, I’m with Mr. Jenners so I’d pick ballroom dance. It would have been a nice skill to have at our wedding rather than lurching around like a pair of Frankenstein monsters.
What?!? Another photo of Channing Tatum? Didn’t I just post one the other day? How did that get in this post? I tell you, I’m thinking of trying to work mentions of him into every possible post so I have excuses to Google photos of him.
- What tv family is most like your own? The reason I love Modern Family so much is that much of it (though not all) rings true.
- What weapon would you learn how to use if all were open to you? What kind of wacko question is this, Trisha? I can honestly say I’ve never given this much thought. As cool as Jennifer Lawrence looked in The Hunger Games shooting her bow and arrow, I’d love to be a kung fu genius and learn how to wield a pair of nunchucks.
- What useless facts do you carry around in your head? Pretty much everything I read and retain from US Weekly qualifies (like who Ashton Kutcher is dating right now, what Kourtney Kardashian’s new baby is named, why Johnny and Vanessa broke up) , as well as tons of stupid facts that I can reel off while watching game shows like Cash Cab. But ask me my husband’s cell phone number and I draw a blank.
- Is it appropriate for us to start using questions the other has asked due to imagination fail? Hell yes! I thought you’d never ask. I shall be the first to kick it off by using some of your questions to me for your continued punishment. Unless, of course, you’d like to stop now and admit defeat.
Questions For Trisha By Trisha (no one to complain to but yourself)
- What book featuring real people do you think could work if the characters were switched to animals?
- What is your favorite piece of art?
- What book would you recommend to be placed in every prison cell (a la Bibles in hotel rooms)?
- If you had to devise your own system of torture, what would it be?
- What would be the most awesome thing about living in the Old West?
- What is the most destructive thing you have ever done to a book?
- Should a calendar start on a Sunday or a Monday?
- What is your most idiotic fear?
- Who is your most inappropriate crush?
- What is the sexiest part of a man?
- Should we reduce the amount of questions from 11 to 5 for future rounds?
You totally had me at Channing Tatum.
Sigh. I’m so happy they are doing a Magic Mike sequel. (Why they are doing that, I’m not sure but I’m not complaining.)
lol loved the answers. I would also take a cook, even though a maid is enticing.
And I would go with a bow and arrow because of that whole zombie apocalypse that could happen
The problem with bows and arrows is that you would need a TON of arrows to survive a zombie apocalypse!!!!
true but I was thinking they would be good for stealth mode. I guess I’ll have to carry both an assault rifle and crossbow. All these things to remember!
Mr J is up at 6:30?? Try 5 AM and TBG is retired! What the hell is he doing crashing around the kitchen at that time of day? Sheesh. The Middle is hysterical, I can see why you would like that show. It’s so humorous. What about The Big Bang Theory? My dentist’s son is one of the writersand he just told me some interesting tidbits about the show. Looking forward to the next round.
We LOVE The Big Bang Theory!!!!! One of the best shows on TV right now I think. And everyone in my house is an early rise — EXCEPT ME!! Horrors!
I know you didn’t really ask….but my family is the most like The Middle.
The asking is IMPLIED! I love hearing everyone else’s answers to these questions.
I am loving this little dual you’ve got going. And not just for the pics of Tatum Channing.
I’m thinking a Taser would be kinda fun to carry around. I’m guessing fewer people would intentionally annoy me. Then again – you would make an amazing Ninja, so I might want to try that, too.
Admit it … you’re just in it for the pics of Channing Tatum!!! And I could just picture you Tasering someone!
ya, I’d go for the maid. It was fun reading your answers.
But a maid is so awkward … I’d have to clean up before he/she came.
I thought of you today as I was watching the old Sabrina movie with Audrey Hepburn. She goes off to culinary school. If I could, I’d send you to cooking school. Then you could just take the maid.
I wish you could send me to cooking school too. Maybe I should ask for that for my birthday! Lord knows my husband should be happy to do it!
I FINALLY found people to go see Magic Mike with, so now I’ll have an excuse to post Channing pics, too!
And the new questions for Trish? Genius!!
Yahoo! I can’t wait to see what you think … and I welcome you in advance to the Channing fan club.
I would definitely choose a cook – my cooking is pretty pathetic! I’ve never had a maid per se, but once exchanged flute lessons for a few weeks, teaching one of my friend’s kids in exchange for cleaning services (since that was her profession). Part of the reason it only lasted a few weeks was it was just so weird – added a strange dynamic to our friendship having her clean our messy house. I’d rather not deal with that, even with a stranger.
I had a maid once (my mom paid for it when I was having a difficult time in life) and it was very awkward. There is something so personal about people cleaning your house. And then to have it be someone you know!!! And my cooking is beyond pathetic. I made hamburgers tonight and they were AWFUL! We had to throw them away and eat PBJs. It is hard to really mess up a hamburger but I did it somehow.
I would love to parachute but am too afraid of heights.
I just can’t imagine being that high up. I think I would seriously freak out.
LOVE Modern Family, but the family looks nothing like mine. I would totally choose a chef that cleaned up afterwards and kept me on a healthy diet
That is what I would want from a chef too — one that made healthy delicious food and cleaned up. Dieting would be a breeze then I think.
I mean it didn’t work to overcome my fears. The parachute worked.
Oh, Mrs. J., I tried to overcome my fear of heights by actually parachuting. It was a RUSH but it didn’t work. lol (true story)
Glad to hear the parachute worked … whew!! That would be on my list of fears. I’m really impressed that you tried it despite your fears. When it came down to it, I don’t think I could physically make myself jump out of the plane. I would have to be pushed after they pried my hands off the plane itself.
Re: What book would you recommend to be placed in every prison cell (a la Bibles in hotel rooms)? A hotel in my home town has actually placed a copy of 50 Shades Of Grey in its hotel rooms, I’m not too sure this would work in a prison though.
The sexiest part of a man? His hands. I love strong hands.
What??? Really? 50 Shades of Gray in the hotel rooms? WHY though? Why that book? That is really weird. Did you write about this and I missed it? It seems like one of your wacky news stories! I’m just mystified by this!
I would want a maid. I actually love cooking, but could do without mopping and cleaning toilets.
My husband and I have opposing views on vacations. I want to sight-see and bit and then relax, but he wants to do sightseeing from sun up to sun down. Really fun with three little kids…I tell you. My kids are pretty good about it, but they tire of doing museums, and historic buildings all day long (and so do I).
Sounds like your husband and my husband would vacation well together. He is up at 6:30 and ready to go. I, on the other hand, prefer to sleep in until 9:30 and then get going slowly. Sounds exhausting for you and the kids!!
I’d take a maid over a cook, since Jason’s already pretty much my cook.
And yay for the upcoming cruise adventures! I loved doing those things (though we didn’t jump off a tall ship…).
You’re lucky to have a cook already!!! And I’m thrilled about the cruise … I got excited reading your cruise posts knowing that I would be going on one soon enough.
I don’t want either, a maid or a butler, or a nanny, I want a chauffeur and I want him to drive a truck, with a hydrolic lift and one of those rolly carts that you could haul stuff. I’d love to have learned to ski, and swim. If we weren’t so old, I’d love to learn to do some serious dirty dancing. I get the armrest at the movies. I agree with the ninchucks. We could be ninjas. Great questions, you two are hilarious. I’m going over to check her answers out.
Could you picture us a ninjas? That would be quite the sight, huh? And what the heck are your carting around that you need a chauffeur with a hydraulic lift???!!!
You’re a good sport to keep playing tag chicken! As usual, you crack me up. Sorry my comment is not nearly as entertaining as this post!
I’m wondering how long we can keep this up. Coming up with the questions is getting mighty hard!
I love this back and forth between you and Thrisha! And your answers are hilarious. And…I love Cash Cab!
Isn’t Cash Cab fun? Whenever we are in NYC, we’re always looking for it. My husband’s plan is that we would recognize the driver and we’d pick a really far destination so we’d have lots of time!
I always enjoy reading these. You’re so entertaining and I learn so much. For example, I had no idea Johnny and Vanessa broke up. I also have no idea who Johnny and Vanessa are!
Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis!!!! I guess you don’t get to keep up on all the gossip out these in Spain!!
Well, I DO know who Johnny Depp is. And I DID know he had split up with someone. I’m just not on a first-name basis with Johnny and didn’t know her name. Other than that, I’m all caught up. (I’ve heard Madonna and Sean Penn broke up, too, in case you didn’t know.)
Madonna and Sean broke up … NOOOOOOOO! ; )
Sonny and Cher, too. Sorry!
Nooooo! (You know, of course, you now need to inform me of a break-up of a 1960s celebrity couple. Good luck with that. HAHA!)
I would go with the maid. I actually like cooking (well used to) but espeically if there was someone there to clean the dishes and clean the rest of the house and clean up after we do projects- or I would be one awesome mom doing all sorts of fun things!!
Totally agree about the vacation thing. And really at this stage a vacation with kids only relaxing is impossible.
Vacation with kids isn’t relaxing but I have high hopes for this cruise because there is a kid’s club and my son is really excited to go to it, which equals downtime for mommy! Wahoo!
I love these posts! Modern Family is one of the best shows going these days so I am glad to hear you are a fan! When do you go on your cruise?
Isn’t Modern Family the best? I couldn’t believe the little bombshell they threw in at the finale! That is going to have some great story lines for next year. And our cruise in in early August.
I will checking out your posts just for those pictures of Mr. Tatum! lol
I suspect my traffic shall jump quite a bit…
I definitely want a maid. You guys ask each other the best questions!
I’d probably feel so guilty though … and always try to clean up so she doesn’t see how bad things can get at times.
I’d love a maid and we are most like Seinfeld even though they are not related to each other and don’t really count as a TV family. Can you guess which character I am most like?
Hmmm…let’s see. What Seinfeld character are you most like? That is a very interesting question. I’m thinking that you aren’t a Kramer or a George, but are you an Elaine? Possibly. I could also seeing you have Jerry characteristics. But, in the end, I’m going with Elaine. Am I right or wrong????
I would love to have a cook, a maid, and a butler, but since I am not rich, I make my kids fill as many of those roles as possible! I also would love to shoot a bow and arrow, but my attempts at learning have been pitiful. And Jenners, I think all our lives would be so much easier if we had more willpower. Thanks for the picture of Channing today as well!
You have actually tried to learn to shoot a bow and arrow? Cool!!!! I admire you for doing that. And I like the idea of having your kids be your butler/maid/cook. That is the purpose of kids, right? HAHA! And I’ll keep trolling around for Channing photos … it doesn’t take much to make me do that.
It sounds to me like the answer to number two should be the answer to number one! :–)
What … I parachute into the theater and claim the armrest???
