Seven Facts About Your Host At The Dino Lounge

Premio_Meme_Award

Veronica at the wonderful blog Some Like It Vintage has presented me with the Premio Meme Award. The rules are that I'm to state 7 things about me and pass the award on to 7 other people. I'll go ahead and say that all of you are worthy of this award. I've seen some of my other blogging friends do similar posts recently so I'm not going to bestow this award on any 7 particular bloggers. If any of you want to do this, please feel free to. The award is yours. I'd love to read those 7 facts about you.

Here goes nothing. These are in no particular order. I hope you enjoy reading them. Let me know what you think.

1. My introduction to Dean Martin came on two fronts. I was introduced to his music by my late paternal grandmother. I also was introduced to him by watching his celebrity roasts. I'm actually posting a clip here featuring Don Rickles roasting Bob Hope. Of course, we know that Don is going to poke fun at everybody else on stage. It's a hilarious clip. I hope you'll watch it. I love Don.



2. The first election I voted in was in 1992. I voted for Ross Perot as President.

3. While I was raised up in a Christian family, I have been studying Judaism and am considering converting.

4. The first James Bond film I ever saw was For Your Eyes Only in 1981. It was the last movie I ever saw at our local drive-in.

5. My favorite show as a kid was The Six Million Dollar Man.

6. The first time I kissed a girl was in kindergarten. We kissed each other quite a few times during naptime before we were caught by our teacher.

7. I visited Europe for a month back in the year 2000. I traveled through England, France, Monaco, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands & Italy.

20 Men I Admire Meme

Hey there. I decided it was time to create my own meme. I'm looking for something to excite me. I've been really bored with the internet as a whole these last few weeks. I'm hoping this will fire me up, plus spark some interest in others as well.

This is called the 20 Men I Admire Meme. The title pretty much says it all. I decided to pick entertainers of the past (some of these men are still living), but other bloggers could pick men of any era.

Make sure you post these rules when you participate in this meme. Here are the rules:

A. Link back to the blog that tagged you.

B. Link back to the originator of this meme, which is The Dino Lounge.

C. Create your own list of 20 men that you admire and post them on your blog.

D. Tag 5 other people to particpate in this meme.

E. If you like, please let The Dino Lounge know that you've participated in this meme so he can check out your posting and comment on it. Thanks.

I think that should be simple for everybody. I hope you like this meme. Below are 20 men that I admire. There are so many others that I could have listed. I thought this was a cool assortment though. They are listed alphabetically and not in order of preference.

I'm tagging my friends:

1. Jeremy at Moon In The Gutter
2. Dave at Planet Mondo
3. Gilligan at Retrospace
4. J.D. at Radiator Heaven
5. Molly at Ashcan Rantings
