Thanks to Mr. Matthew Blum, I've been striken with a look into me once again. In retrospect, I should of ignored it all and kept very private about little old me. But I haven't, and I won't. So, here it goes:
My Family Owned A Beer Distributor In Clarion, Pennsylvania - I recall fondly lifting 175lb kegs as a 130lb boy. I never had to join a Frat, I always knew where the Party was...
I Love Animals - Kittens, Cats, Puppies, Dogs, Monkey's, & a whole lot of shaking going on. Let's face it folks, to err is human, to sleep next to you is a friend. I love Animals! But I hate Snakes. I respect them, fear them, but freaking hate them. Oh, to be a snake...
Physical Pain is Nothing - I admire those who would dish out plenty of it. I admire more those who could take it. I could always take it, and I rarely batted an eye.
That's that. Enough is enough. I'm a tired man so I will stop here. I apologize to Mr. Blum for not going into more depth...yet I am here for the sizzle...not the snake.
I Hate Snakes!
*Updated* I forgot to call on an individual I would like to write a MEME. I call on one. How about you Mr. Rob Robinson ............?
OK, you know all those animals we have? My "Tall One" keeps asking for a snake, and I keep saying no. I think I fit into your category. I've said yes to everything else!
Tough guy. ;o)
Thanks Marlene, that means so much! I kind of felt bad that I was so tired and couldn't be a little more in depth with keeping me an open book.
Agreed Sarah, snakes just give me the willies (is that a word?). Well, I just hit spell check and nothing came up, so I guess so ;-)
You can't lose the Tough Guy image. You got me with the push-ups.
Now, if you squealed like a girl over the snake, we might have to look at this whole "tough guy" thing a little closer.
Jason,Nothing wrong with telling your life story...I did it a long time ago...it shows you are real and not looking to hide.
Hey Jason, It's good to know all that good stuff about you, did you ever get to sample any of the beer? I was wondering, do you like bat's???? Just kidding
Good to know you..
Tom Weiss
There I was......face to face with a Copperhead...what to do, what to do.......
Fight or Flight.......
I stood up with bravado and said "I'll have a pint of Stella Artois"
I took it like a man. (OK, I squealed in delight after the first sip)

Note:
Stella Artois(pronounced stella artwa) is a 5.2% ABV global lager first brewed in Leuven, Belgium in 1366 as a Christmas brew, and named Stella after the Latin for "star".[1]
Although Belgium is best known internationally for its ales, it is the common bottom-fermented pilsner lager, such as Stella Artois, which heads the lists of domestic consumption and exports. Often called "table beers" are classified by their bottom-fermented method. The pilsners make up almost 75 percent of Belgian beer production, with Stella Artois as the best-known brand internationally. Stella Artois is the best selling premium lager in the UK beer market, and is promoted as an international brand by InBev. In its home market of Belgium, however, it is marketed, priced and sold as a regular lager. It is brewed in Belgium and the United Kingdom, as well as other countries including Australia. Much of the Stella Artois exported from Europe is currently produced at InBev's Beck's brewery in Bremen, Germany.
Neal - I'm the Roddy Piper of things, titles mean crap to me. It's amazing though that you've been a fan as well. I think we have more in common than I would have thought. Would love to hang with you.
Tom - I got plenty of "Samples." And I don't mind bats after the day ends, snakes still stir me though.
Mr. Rob - I'm impressed, Stella Artois!?! Haven't drank that poison since I worked at the Fed. You drink your little Stella and I will partake in my Milwakee's Best Ice...or I can opt for Miller Lite. Whatever the case, it is nice to know you have a fever for high class and cut and paste jobs:-)
Jason...
Boy. These meme's are opening the souls of most everyone on AR. Except of course mine. I don't to meme's. However I do enjoy reading every one else's meme's.
I also love animals. As far as snakes go...I have a 'diamond back rattler' living out behind my garage. I was going to shoot him for sport and perhaps meat for the dogs but this snake is in charge of mice control in my garage :)
Hmmm. I think I need to name the snake who finally devored 'Willard' the mouse :)
TLW...ROAR!
Okay...
Here's his <MEME> but he took out the picture.
If I remember correctly he had a picture of himself dressed in the skirt he wears to the annual Mummer parade.
Here's a soul less toast to ya. Did you hear that? That was a hiccup. LOL.
TLW...ROAR!
Jason, you're late over at Rob's! ;o)
Took the kids shopping, Tall One bugged me for a snake again. Did she KNOW we were just talking about them?!
Jason, your Meme has gotten a really good discussion going! Oh I wish I had a camera the day I rescued the A/C guys... They were hollering like there was no tomorrow.. I thought they were fighting. I went out and said what the he.. is going on? The one I knew hollered "SNAKE!!!", I said what? "SNAKE!!" It was in their van, harmless. The other guy was on the ground against the wall with his hand over his chest, he had reached into the van to get his lunch and was literally face to face with this snake, scared the you know what out of him. I tried to grab the tail, but it got away into the door panel. I pushed him out of there with some piece of equipment and off he went. They didn't scream like girls, but they screamed bloody murder!
Sarah I can't feed them either, they do give great massages when they are content.
TLW, I take it the dogs don't go near the garage? Thats one big rattler!!
Jason,
I've added this one to my meme list. Will you drop the links to your others in the comments on my list and I will add them to your name?
Thanks,
Lucky :)
TLW - I finally got over to Rob's Meme. I love that guy. You get the hic....cups too?
Sarah - I know I was late....but better that than...
Lysa - I wish you would have had a camera that day as well! I would have looked at the photos, but I would probably be hiding behind TLW & Sarah with Rob Robinson peering over my shoulder:-)
Lucky - I sure will!
Jason,
I just recently found this "meme" thing. How funny is this?!?! It reminds me of the game where you say a few truths and one lie. Then people have to guess which is the truth and which is the lie. I am pretty sure that the fear of snakes is a common truth, so do not feel bad if you do need to squeal like a little girl! Thanks for the laughs...
