Maimed... er, Memed by Christine

Christine has tagged me in a meme. I couldn't answer all four questions but I figured I'd better post what I could since apparently I'll lose points for lateness.
Okay Christine here ya go...


  1. Hum a jingle of which you know all the words. LOUDER!!Ok, now write it down so we can remember it too.
    ”Oh I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Weiner That is what I’d truly like to beeeee. Cause if I was an Oscar Meyer Weiner. Everyone would be in love with meeeeeeee…”

  2. As a kid, you played a board game over and over. And you cheated you little bastard. What was the game? Damn! How did you know? There were two actually. Life and Monopoly. I played with my cousin Rhea and the boy from next door whose name was Merschell. We’d play out on my grandmothers porch. At some point during the game Mersh and I would send Rhea into the house for snacks while she was gone we’d steal her money. When she caught on to that and started taking her money with her, we changed tactics and raid the bank. She’d come back and we’d have fistfulls of money which we’d deny stealing until we were blue in the face.

  3. What is the name of the song that you have been singing the incorrect words all these years? What were you singing? What should you have been singing? I’m gonna have to get back to you on this one cause honestly I don’t know the words to most songs. I just sort of humm the parts I don’t know.

  4. What is the most embarrassing childhood story that your parents drag out just to fuck with you for their own private amusement. That story would be the time when my mom put little 3 year-old me down for a nap and then came back to check on me later. She found me in the bathroom eating her cold cream. So she gave me a swat on the butt and I started to cry. She then decided I looked so funny that she had to take a picture. At this point in the story she whips out this picture…



















    I’ve heard this story so often that I now tell it myself so really it no longer fucks with me like it used to. (Do I get a bonus point for illustrations?)


    Feel free to tag yourself.

Oh man, this post is too close to home. First, my last name is Wiemer, pronounced Weemer. My wife and I are expecting, so we joked that we would name the kid Oscar Mayer Wiemer, so he'd have his own theme songs. That joke wasn't nearly as funny when we found out that we were having a boy. Now all our friends refer to our unborn son as "Oscar".

god my mom pulled out "The year I got beat up and had the haloween candy stolen from me" story.

I was 7.

It would have been okay, but dont do that in front of the new girlfriend.

Pictures, you put up PICTURES? Great, make me look bad. See if I care.
What a cutie you were! I can't believe mom is so clever to snap a picture to torture you with later. Brilliant woman, your mom. Thank God mine didn't do that with the doodie. ewwwww
Thanks for playing and I am not giving up on you for those drinks. I may arrive on that Wednesday so there.

That is my favorite picture in the whole world, bar none. It kills me every time.

Glad you all enjoyed that wonderful visual humiliation.

Christine- just let me know when you decide to come and where you're staying.
