Favorite things (some restrictions apply)
Published August 26th, 2007Pri tagged me to do the “favorites tag.” I am supposed to write down my favorite things. When I got down to writing it, I realized that, like everything else in modern life, my favorites have fine-print too. So read carefully.
- Wife’s sweet voice - when she is telling me to go out with my friends
- Beer bashes - if they serve wine
- Tanks - on pretty girls
- Freshly cleaned shining bathroom - without kid’s toys floating in the commode
- Cats - after I ate two packets of Claritin for breakfast
- Dogs - whose owners don’t share my zip code
- Ice cream - when the next guy is eating a bigger scoop than mine so I can eat guilt-free
- Paris Hilton as an actress - only in home-made movies
- Classical music concerts - when the guy in the next seat doesn’t hum like an irritating mosquito
- Crisp, sunny California mornings - when I am sleeping through them
- Reckless and fearless swimming - in a swimming pool where there is no chance of my drowning even if I tried
- Long phone conversations - Calls to customer services do not count
- People doing this tag - without fine print
Let me tag people who may have more interesting favorites than me:
Melody - With so many things she likes, it’s going to be hard for her to pick her favorite favorites
Asha - Strictly non-food please
Dr. Mosi - Absolutely no talking about your research

Passing Thoughts
[+] I am excited that the Phoenix probe successfully landed safely and peacefully on Mars. Or, as Ms. Hilary Clinton would put it, “It landed under heavy sniper fire.” [1 comment]
[+] Two girls scouts are protesting girl scout cookies because they say they are endangering some species. If you looked at the nutrition information of the cookies they sell, you would agree that one of the endangered species is mankind. [0 comments]
[+] According to this news item the definition of rape has been widened. If a woman refuses sex in the middle of the act, the rest of the act is considered rape. I guess she can re-accept sex making it consensual again. Don’t be surprised if you see criminal cases with the following description: “She went to his place at 8:00PM. They had coffee. They had sex from 8:30PM to 8:54PM. He raped her from 8:55PM to 9:01PM. Then she reluctantly agreed to sex. So, technically, he partially raped her from 9:02PM to 9:15PM. They both had dinner. Later they had sex after he briefly raped her.” [6 comments]
[+] Pentagon admitted that they accidentally shipped missile parts to Taiwan. Be assured that US is not in the business of selling arms. It might so happen that Taiwan may accidentally ship some money to US in the future. Who knows what accidents happen. [1 comment]
[+] Sarah Jessica Parker is whining that she won the “Unsexiest Woman Alive” award from Maxim readers. If you ask me, she should be quite glad that she didn’t win the “Unsexiest Horse” award. [2 comments]

.
Twilight Fairy
I didn’t have your blog on my reader, so I was adding it.
Holy cow! I need to be careful
he bhagwaan mujhe tag kiya… ok will try something. no wonder you like my dogs so much… a few thousand miles of distance does wonders for the soul
HeHe!! That was a great list. Very funny!
Thanks for tagging me, but what?! No food!!;D
I am going for Lasik eye Surgery this Thursday,so tag should wait for a long time but I will do it as soon as I can. Might not be as witty as you,some boring stuff!:D
Great reading again TD!! paris Hilton in home movies was truly the best!!! Still cant stop laughing over that one
As usual ROTFL! :–) First one was classy. How do you come up with such stuff?! Amazing!
hahhaa…funny as usual!!
I liked the tank stuff;)
he he … didnt I already warn you about my detective tendencies?
anyhow.. I did realise, that that was why you would have searched.. to add in feed reader
:D….so your favorites are really in smaller font! you give new meaning to…’its all in the fine print’
btw, what is this I see at the bottom of every post? pingback from “University Update - Al Gore “??
He he… i loved that one about the Wife’s sweet voice. You will, of course, be careful if she asks you to go out way too often?
hehehe good ones. For the first time, loved reading the fine print !
Amusing list, not surprisingly.
I like wine tastings when beer is provided.
umm.. you are tagged for my latest post by virtue of being a parent. with your sense of humour.. you cannot dodge this one.
mosilager:
he bhagwaan mujhe tag kiya
Lol - imagining you with the fist to your forehead
Asha:
but what?! No food!!
Lol. Ya, because you have a lot more to you than just food!
I am going for Lasik eye Surgery
Oh! Good luck! You will see better without glasses and look better too
Might not be as witty as you,some boring stuff!
Let’s see! I am sure it will be fun anyway.
Something to Say:
Great reading again TD!!
Thank you
SK:
How do you come up with such stuff
Stuff like first one? With a lot of experience as a husband I guess
jattz:
I liked the tank stuff
I can imagine. Men like Tanks and stuff, right
Twilight Fairy:
didnt I already warn you about my detective tendencies?
No. I only know you have two jobs - full time engineer and part time photographer. Is this a part-part time job, as private investigator?
Kodi’s Mom:
you give new meaning to…’its all in the fine print’
LOL
btw, what is this I see at the bottom of every post
Long story! There are some stupid sites that get a bunch of blog feeds and search for specific words, like blog aggregators. If they find the word, they link the blog on their site. But they ping the site saying that they linked the site so the “ping back” appears on the site as one of the comments. Blogspot also supports it, it’s called “trackbacK”.
Esha:
be careful if she asks you to go out way too often?
LOL, ya. One needs to detect the “tone”. The following conversation is never good:
Husband: I am going out with some guys
Wife: Fine!
Husband: Wow, didn’t think you would agree so easily
nz:
For the first time, loved reading the fine print
LOL. That’s a good one too
Alan:
I like wine tastings when beer is provided.
Lol. We should just exchange our parties.
the mad momma:
you are tagged for my latest post
Oh boy! That’s a tough tag! Will take it up… Wisely used, humor could make it less embarrassing
by virtue of being a parent
Since when is that a virtue
ummmmmmmmmm, ummm, ummmmmm aaaaa,aa, aaaaaaa, aaaaummm i am trying to be like the person next to you in the classical music concert…:P
Couldnt agree more with you on the Hilton babe. Her non-home made movies have an average IMDB rating of 2.73 (yup! I am that jobless). But we all know the homemade movies have the best rating of them all: NC 17-30
;)
ha ha, random favorites kya? the only favorite tht i do not share with u is wife’s sweet voice, bcos i dont have one……wait did u say ‘my wife’s sweet voice’ ?
Pallavi:
LOL. You won’t believe it but it really happened! This guy in next seat was humming the song the singer was singing. He probalby doesn’t like to sing wihtout accompanymnet so he was snapping his fingers and tapping foot to the tune! I had to remind him, multiple times, that he was not in his bathroom.
Ok:
yup! I am that jobless
Haha. I used to be like that when I was your age.. and I didn’t change yet
best rating of them all: NC 17-30
Why are you leaving me out of this?
Maverick:
Funny, eh? Soon, you are going to get married and experience the “sweet” voice! Then let’s see who has the last laugh. Hint: It won’t be either of us
i second you on the clean bathrooms!!!
And my favorite funny man is back again! Or maybe you never left and I just revisited.
bathrooms have to be clean ! otherwise i dont …
Right on..Clean bathrooms..instead of kids toys..what annoys me is strands of hair in the bathtub..Arrgghh!!
Crisp California Mornings…How I envy you:(
chandni:
i second you on the clean bathrooms
That is as surprising as the fact that you are a woman
OrangeJammies:
I forgot to mention in my favorites: Blogs whose updates actually show up in the reader!? What’s wrong with you Yahoo 360? What’s wrong with you? *Collapses on the knees and starts crying*
mahathma:
bathrooms have to be clean ! otherwise i dont …
Thank you for not finishing that sentence
Raysofsun:
what annoys me is strands of hair in the bathtub
what’s more annoying than that? The gunk that comes out with it when you pull it out
Crisp California Mornings…How I envy you
HOw I envy Ohio when I think of .. er.. um.. well, scratch that. You should move to California

LONG PHONE CONVERSATIONS !!!
I am feeling less guilty now!
:P
Hmm…. funny as ever is all i can say.
BTW, how have you been? You arent as regular as you used to be.
love #1 sounds like what my husband would say.have a great long weekend.
TDNA - I do a lot of other things as well.. need not necessarily be “jobs”
ROFLing away..just what I needed
Tanks on girls… incorrigible.
Nice list, but what do you have against dogs???
And yeah, long time huh.. just been busy with work and stuff.
it somehow seems to me that i have been here earlier
arrrgh!!! I really don’t know when I’ll have the time to do this!! And following you is a Herculean task in itself, I’m sure all your faithful readers would agree - who could possibly come up with a funnier, more interesting to read post than this one?!
Swimming fearlessly in a swimming…no joke TD, know of many fearless souls who have drowned in them. *Frowning sternly*
deitaDi:
Oh my god! I couldn’t stop laughing! You should do a whole blog in that vernacular
rads:
I agree with you, it’s nice hearing Telangana!
whatsinaname:
You and I need to compare notes on what exactly counts as “long phone conversation”
nidhee:
Way too many things going on… couldn’t get to blogging much. Things are getting better though
funny as ever is all i can say.
Thank you
You arent as regular as you used to be
I know
starry nights:
love #1 sounds like what my husband would say
Haha. I think it applies to any husband after a couple of years
La Vida Loca:
ROFLing away..just what I needed
Glad I could be of help when you were down!
Karen:
what do you have against dogs
Absolutely nothing, as long as they don’t get too cozy and flirty with me
burf:
it somehow seems to me that i have been here earlier
May be you and I are twins who got separated at birth. So you may be seeing all this even though you’ve never been here
Melody:
It’s OK. No pressure.
I really don’t know when I’ll have the time to do this
Haha, I know
And following you is a Herculean task in itself
Ahem… somebody is being to modest here… I won’t say who
more interesting to read post than this one
To be honest, this is one of the difficult posts. I couldn’t think of anything to make the tag funny! In fact, I am not too satisfied with the outcome.
kiran manral:
many fearless souls who have drowned in them
I know, I know… I should’ve mentioned 3 feet pools. I know, people drown in them too… but they should get Darwin awards
Funny.
Paris Hilton one was the best.
Dogs, irrespective of their geographical location, can never be like-able. They are scary.
Hey… done the tag finally… better late than never, aye?
