2 Meme's I may have missed
I got this meme from Random Moments.
It's a challenge but I'll try.
List 5 things that you consider an accomplishment but might be considered lame by others.
1. I once completed a 12 mile marathon. I had blisters the size of watermelons and I couldn't climb stairs for a week.
2. I can consistently shoot a beer can out of a tree at 75 yards with my .45 pistol.
3. I'm a master at most trivia games. (as long as they don't involve sports)
4. I know all my state capitols
5. I can sing in a high falsetto like Tiny Tim ( I'll do anything to get people to laugh)
I'll tag anyone who wants to do these. I can't remember which of you folks told me you are meme haters.

Memes are good if you have nothing else to say.
I don't think completing a marathon is lame even if you were afterward.
I think being a good shot is respectable too.
Knowing a lot of useless information can be lucrative - maybe you should check that out.
I'm not sure I even know our provinces capitals any more. ouch
I love falsettos. Even if they are kinda lame.
Stop shooting my beers out of the tree!
There are meme haters??!!
I think I'm going to faint.
Cool stuff!
Me!
You failed in your meme, my man. #2 is very impressive to me... not lame at all.
I'm kinda new to meme's but think some I've read are pretty interesting. I could answer a few questions if you want to tag me. Not sure exactly how it works but I'll try. Thanks.
I am a master at most trivia games as long as they don't include geography. (although I know all my state capitols also...)
those guys are right up there--not lame!
Here are my five
1-Have had anorexia two times and 'broke' out of it (65 lbs first time, 85 the second)
2-Can hit all of Karen Carpenter's and the lead singer's in Air Supply's notes AND can do the falsetto in Load Out/Stay (lame right)
3-Am also good at trivia, mostly about music
4-Can come back with a smart ass answer faster than most humans. Lived to regret that, too
5-I drank two Guinesses in a row one night....awrrrrk
I was really just here to check out your previous post because You Tube is blocked at work, but this meme is so challenging that I decided to do it even though I'm not big on meme action.
1. I can play a few songs on my guitar.
2. I actually found someone who would marry me.
3. I stayed 1 night by myself way out in the Yosemite wilderness.
4. I catch flies with my right hand on a regular basis. Yes, I'm that fast.
5. I've done exactly one legitimate pull-up in my life in 9th grade. My dream is to do another one.
How's that?
What kind of 45 do you shoot Hamms
I would love to hear the singing voice. lol
1. i have seen a u-2 fly into a building.
2. when pregnant, i've been found to have "incompetent cervix" and have to have surgery for it - i felt a little inadequate beforehand, but it was painless...
3. i love raw oysters! much to my surprise.
4. my family believes me to be perfect, so i try not to dissuade them with my peccadilloes.
5. i have had my "15" minutes of fame on a number of occasions.
don't tag me as i hate them. oops! sorry - that was SIX!
Interesting!
I will have to have a think on this one!
I have to say I am impressed with the fact that you can aim that well with a .45!
When our son was 4 he would routinely impress people with his knowledge of the state capitols. Most adults don't know them.
I think you should share a falsetto song with us all. hehe.
Your desk top pic is awesome.
Peace
They don't seem that lame to me Hammer!! You'll have to try a little harder (or perhaps the other way round).
Here's lame:
*I mowed my lawns
*I painted a bedroom
*Tonight I didn't txt a guy back
*I actually asked my flatmate to move out
*I rang my Dr and demanded a scan of my gallbladder.
Now those are lame!!!!!! hahaha!

Okay, my five are done.... way too long for some to read I'm sure, but it's a rainy day here in Jersey and I was off down memory lane......
Memes are sent from Hell to do the Devil's work!
memes only get done at the weekends when there is the luxury of 'time.'
How long is 75 yards in metres?
Cheers
i did the desktop meme, but i think i'll make the other meme my next post. thanx for your comments on my blog regarding the peas and mac & cheese. well, since i hate cheese, that would have been worse for me.
Did the one a while back, but avoided the other.
I would ask for a tag but I don't think I have accomplished 5 things in my life..lol.
Good list, thanks for sharing!!!
I secretly hate meme's.
Maybe not so secretly.

I cant believe you have a pistol!
None of those are lame!
Here are my five lame-os
1. Can imitate Olyvia Newton John, K. Carpenter and the Air Supply lead singer and th falsetto part of Load Out/Stay.
2. I make the world's worse coffee. Honest.
3. I write songs when I'm mad. At least they're funny.....
4. Am a grammar freak
5. Drank two guinesses (double diamonds) back to back once. Ouch.
My Dad, brothers, and I used to go shooting a lot. When I hit my late teens my eyesight changed and I was no longer so accurate with a rifle.
But boy howdy, I was a monster with a gun. My Dad was a terrific shot, and he used to be amazed at what I could hit with a pistol. I was always pretty good with bow and arrow too. That's as fun as shooting guns.
I never tried my pistols as far as 75yards though.
I'm pretty good at trivia too. I don't know a whole lot of sports either. I would seriously try out for Jeopardy if they didn't always have categories about performing arts like plays and such, and also classical music and composers.
I have no interest in plays and musicals and dislike most classical music. That's a deal killer for Jeopardy.
Sorry, I mean I was a monster with a pistol. After losing my accuracy with rifles due to eyesight changes, I found that I was great with a pistol.
