Sarge’s List
The Old
Airforce Sarge @http://oldafsarge.blogspot.com/
posted answers to a list that
was sent to him. I hate these kinds of
lists…usually, but for some reason I decided to respond. His comment field would not take the number
of charactures, so here is my response in a post of my own:

35. Do I I wanna rock and roll all night and party every day?
Nah, not really. NOT EVEN IN THE DAY
36. Fondest memory? There are many, all have to do with the births of my children and grandchildren. Though the day The Missus Herself said "Yes" is hard to beat. MANY, I’VE BEEN PRETTY LUCKY
37. Saddest memory? There are far too many, all have to do with the deaths of family and friends. For what it's worth, that includes all those who faithfully and honorably serve. NOT TOO MANY, I’VE BEEN PRETTY LUCKY
38. Most fun ever? Aerobatics in an SNJ-6. The most fun one can have with their clothes on. So they say. One is fun, one is superb. Superb involves flying. REMINISCING WITH GOOD FRIENDS AND GOOD DRINKS
39. Foreign places visited? Japan, Korea, Germany, France, Belgium, Netherlands, and Italy. Though I've been to the UK and Canada, they didn't feel foreign at all. CANADA, CARRIBEAN ISLANDS…THAT’s ALL I GOT AND I’M GOOD WITH THAT

THAT
IS THE END OF SARGE’S LIST!
Nice list!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of questions. I don't do memes like that anymore, half the time I can't decide what to answer, since I have trouble choosing favourites of anything.
ReplyDeleteI like these lists! Had to laugh at the butter pecan. That's my dad's favorite and my kids always thought it was bizarre because they had never seen or heard of it outside my dad,
ReplyDeleteYour very last answer is same as mine.
A good list, that was fun to read.
ReplyDeleteWell worth the wait. Excellent list!
ReplyDeletePretty comprehensive list. You did forget one nickname...you know...the "J" word lol.
ReplyDeleteI hate these bucket lists that people have. I'm good with that, you said, about places you have seen. That seems to be the best attitude.
ReplyDeleteInteresting answers! I usually don't do these lists either and won't today either. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteThat is some list, interesting how many answers were the same but others completely opposite.
ReplyDeleteInteresting answers.
ReplyDeleteFun list and today we learned a bit more about Cranky and Sarge.
ReplyDeleteThe list that tells it all. Well, mqybe some of it. A
ReplyDeletegood list.
A good list: & BETTER answers!!
ReplyDeleteYou don't like Gregorian chanting? How can you live? :)
ReplyDeleter
Interesting. I overlap both you AND Old Airforce Sarge often. Especially anything involving aviation. Spitfires are indeed hard to beat.
ReplyDeleteGreat list and fun to read your answers!
ReplyDeleteGood to know that you would be receptive to any and all literature with a gun held to your head! I was worried that you didn't make smart choices when I read BUTTER PECAN.
ReplyDeleteThese lists are always fun...you get to learn something about your imaginary friends that live in the computer. :-p
ReplyDeleteLike...even some rap??? Seriously? See, I learned something new about you! (The only way I don't dislike rap is when it's played at the gym during the "body pump" class)
