Come out, come out wherever you are

Bish at Random Thoughts, whose lovely blog often features remembrances of growing up on a Caribbean island, has tagged me. The former teen-fishing-champ has tossed me some bait, in other words. Eeeeeek! I love word games and challenges so I'm going to play. But I shy from chain-letter thingies and I'm supposed to tag others, so here's my solution and your choice.
1) Consider yourself tagged and write the Q&A on your blog, leaving me a trail of chum.
2) Lurk to your heart's content. Remain untagged, and be assured no pestilence will plague you and your progeny.
3) Share a wicked comment on any of this.
Seven questions regarding seven deadly sins. Lying is highly recommended.
1) Pride--Q:What is your biggest contribution to the world? A: When I invented the Internet, I made possible all blogs and followers.
2) Envy--Q: What do your coworkers have that you wish was yours? A: The master list of followers.
3) Gluttony-- Q: What did you eat last night? A: Bread & water, but I spiced it with Literary Food Porn.
4) Lust--Q: What really lights your fire? A: A good e-book. I'm not lying. Really.
5) Anger--Q:What is the last thing that really pissed you off? A: A bad e-book. (See above).
6) Greed--Q: Name something you hoard and keep from others. A: First edition "Will the Bard and his Seven Secrets of Success or How to Extend Your Shelf Life by Centuries."
7) Sloth--Q: What's the laziest thing you ever did? A: Refused to answer question #7.

LOL! Thanks for playing. (Check my blog tomorrow,Monday, I am passing on an AWARD!)

Of course I had to go check out that Literary Food Porn link. Great stuff. Just about anything to do with food is good.

Corey: There are some things you just can't brag about....;-)

I love those questions! I'd like to consider myself tagged and borrow shamelessly and post them as tomorrow's question of the day.

Thank you!

Fun, fun, fun! I got tagged and need to do this!

Suzanne and PJ: Cool! I'll check your blogs to see what you do with it. *smiling ear-to-ear*

Invented the Internet? Congrats. I invented all things on the Internet. Including blogging, posting, commenting, tweeting and generally just e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. *smiles* Great post.

Okay, I'll play. I loved your answers but don't know if I'll lie or tell the truth.

Tricia J. O'Brien said...

Robyn, Tess, Nancy: Yay! Thanks for visiting and sharing in the hoot.

Shelli: You bad, girl!

Thank you for the very clever link! Sometimes reading the blog actually makes me feel full, it's bizarre.

Hi Fatima,
Thanks for stopping by. I love your blog and the incredible deliciousness of finding descriptions of food drawn in such succulent detail. Great idea. I can understand how you might feel full! When I was reading "The Secret Life of Bees," I kept running to the kitchen for spoonsful of honey. Couldn't help myself.
