Tag Chicken Cometh … Again

- Which is more anger-inducing: the car riding your ass or that car that keeps passing you and then slowing down? I’d have to say the car that keeps passing me and then slowing down. That seems more deliberate and, therefore, more anger-inducing. Oddly enough, we had someone riding our ass today and Mr. Jenners was about to blow a gasket (in his brain … not the car), and I took that moment to ask him this question. He, however, was in no mood to answer. (Sometimes my timing is off.)
- What book would you like to see turned into a musical and who would you want to star in it? The first thing that popped into my head was Stephen King’s 11/22/63 and now I can’t get rid of that thought. Not only could it use some songs already written (“Let’s Do The Time Warp Again” and “Back in Time” by Huey Lewis and The News both spring to mind), but it could incorporate songs from the 1950s and 1960s. It would be the first feel-good musical about the JFK assassination!! I see Hugh Jackman playing Jake Epping. He’d be perfect. (Granted, the musical might be 8 hours long but who cares … it is Hugh Jackman!)
Hugh Jackman is back on Broadway playing the time-traveling, assassination-preventing schoolteacher Jake Epping. Kristin Chenoweth stars as Sadie.
- What movie do you wish was a book? I’m a huge fan of Wes Anderson’s Rushmore and I would LOVE to read a book written in the voice of Max Fischer. God … I wish there was a book based on this movie. Someone needs to write it STAT!
- If you could trade a skill or personality trait with one of your friends, what would you take and what would you give? Sorry, Elexis, but I think I’d have to take your disinterest in food and swap it for my complete lack of willpower and I could finally get back to my 1989 weight (110 pounds if you’d like to know). (And you, my dear, would puff up like a puffer fish. So sorry!) I realize this is a most shallow answer but what can I say. I’m as shallow as a puddle some days.
- What era of your life would you re-live and why? First of all, I am assuming I can go back with my current knowledge and redo things. I made some bad decisions in my mid-20s that I would love to go back and correct. It would save me and another person a whole bunch of heartache … plus I could seek out Mr. Jenners earlier and perhaps we could have given BB a sibling. However, if I can only relive a span of time and not change anything, then I’d like to go back to my childhood years spent in Japan because I remember nothing about it and I bet it was really interesting. Plus I’d love to see my mom and dad as brand-new young parents.
Wow … super cool questions, Trisha! In fact, I like them so much I’m going to float almost all of them right back at ya!
- If you could trade a skill or personality trait with one of your friends, what would you take and what would you give?

- What movie do you wish was a book?
- If you had to cast your life as a movie, what actress would star as you?
That’s always the caveat to reliving your life, isn’t it, Mrs. J: to take our current knowledge & level of emotional maturity back with us. Otherwise, we’d make the same stupid mistakes over & over.
Loved your answers!
Great questions and I just don’t know how I would answer them. If I could go back, knowing what I know now….I’m a bit torn. Like how life has turned out, however….ah whatever! Have a great week~
Fun tag chicken
I agree about the drivers that keep passing you and then slowing down in front of you. And Hugh Jackman is made for musicals! He’s delish.
Hugh Jackman is the complete package isn’t he? Looks, talent and voice!
I am glad you’re keeping the tag game going. Who would you cast as yourself, though? That I am curious about. (Pick someone glamorous!)
Well, I’ve got to reserve my answer in case she asks me this back but I’ll give you a hint: It is a woman actor with the intital L.H. and she won an Oscar (I think).
You two and your tag chicken.
I’m always glad to have specific questions to answer (no matter how weird they are) as it makes for an easy post to write.
More chicken huh. I stand corrected because these were awesome questions AND answers. I joined weight watchers online. Haven’t counted points in almost 2 weeks. If we put our lack of willpower together and gave it to Ann Coulter I think that would be fair
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve joined and then quit Weight Watchers. The only real “diet” that works for me is to not bring bad food into the house so I can’t eat it!
I just want to say that I love these. That is all. Okay, well Hugh Jackman makes me feel like I am sinning if I look at him too long…..
Hugh really has the whole package doesn’t he? Don’t worry … you’re not sinning. Just appreciating something that God did totally right!
Yes I sometimes say I would only go back and do highschool again if I could go back knowing what I do now- but then really that would totally change everything.
Always do love when you do these
Isn’t that the point though? To fix some things? OF course, you don’t know the ramifications of those changes so I see your point.
I would LOVE to see Rushmore as a book. I feel like there is so much more story to each of those characters.
I know!! I think there is so much to explore in all of their minds.
I hate the tail-gator. That was a good set of questions.
Wasn’t that a great set of questions? I was so impressed. At this point in the game, I think it is hard to come up with good ones.
I love Tag Chicken. Hugh Jackman would make a good Jake Epping. I would love to be disinterested in food. That would be a good swap. And 110? That’s pretty impressive. I’m 5’6″ even when I was a size 2 (those days are long past) I was more than that. I haven’t weighed that little since I was about 14.
Well, keep in mind I am 5′ 2″ so 110 was pretty much my ideal weight … and I doubt I’ll see it again in this lifetime.
In So Cal, we have a lot of those drivers (the kiss your ass drivers AND the pass and then cut in front of you drivers). They are a special kind of ass if you ask me.
I’m sure there is a special place in hell reserved for those drivers.
I could sit through 8 hours of Hugh as Jake. As long as there were breaks for snacks.
Of course there would be!! (Snacks.)
The question of trading personality traits is such a tough one! I would like to trade a friend’s ability to concentrate for long periods of time with my ADD. I can barely read 40 pages at a time. Yea, I want that trade done, stat.
Oh, also, I agree that cars that pass me and slow down are the worst offenders. That happened to me three times this weekend and by the third time I was yelling like a lunatic to them as if they could hear me from my car. Drivers who ride beside cars in the next lane also test me. Seriously, people?
Oh yeah … that is a good one. I want a bubble of space around my car at all times!!
Crap that was fast….
I told you I was “back” and on this. No more months between posts! HA!
I agree with you about the frustration of someone passing you and slowing down being worse. If someone’s riding my bumper enough to make me uncomfortable then I will slow way down (partly to drive them crazy I will admit, but also for safety).
It just isn’t safe to be too close to any car. I prefer a clear space all around my car at all times.
Great set of questions and I’d probably be just as shallow with that trait-swapping answer. Hmmmm….I was pregnant in 1989. I’d have to go back a few years earlier!
I could see that maybe 1989 wouldn’t be a year you’d want to repeat!
Reliving an era of your life with current knowledge is a dangerous one! Changing any decisions changes the future. If you’d met Mr Jenners earlier, BB wouldn’t be BB, but some other child that you loved a whole bunch.
You’re right about that. Still, I would go back and not marry the person I married the first time. It would save us all a lot of trouble and pain. : )
1989 weight? Hummm. Yeah, that would work. In fact that was a pretty good year all-round for me.
I was just graduating from college and scared out of my mind about how I was going to pull off “real life.” But I did weigh 110 pounds!!
Oh, Hugh Jackman in anything would be worth seeing!
I know! He is a good-looking and talented guy — the complete package.
Ha ha, I read your sentence “I could finally get back to my 1989 weight” and my first thought was, Wow, you weight 1989 pounds?!!! Clearly I must have more coffee before continuing through blogs….
Yes … making comments like “you weighed 1989 pounds” is something you need to be careful about!
Did Jake Epping have his clothes off a lot in the book? I can’t remember. I think it would make the story much more effective (as long as Hugh Jackman is in it).
As for me, I’m not reliving any era in my life. Didn’t you learn anything from 11/22/63?!?
I think we can write many scenes where Jake Epping / Hugh Jackman has his clothes off. We need to sell those tickets! And yes … it seems I learned nothing from 11/22/63.
I had no idea you lived in Japan as a child – I guess the fact you don’t remember it explains that though!
I lived there from ages 1 to 3. I don’t remember any of it really. But it did leave me with a life-long love of sushi and other Japanese food.
I too love Max Fischer! What would the book be called? The Chronicles of Rushmore? The Prime of Miss Cross? Punctuality and Perfect Attendance?
I love your ideas!! I can totally imagine what a fun book that would be. There is so much to explore in their heads.
Yes, I could watch Hugh Jackman for 8 hours.
It definitely wouldn’t be much of a hardship would it?
