Meme of Threes

This post is a very delayed response to a few others who were haphazardly throwing lists around a while back. I normally don’t partake in such list craziness, but fealt that someone had to step in to throttle back the irresponsible and rampant quadruples. Lest we not all forget:

Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

So enough will all the 4-counts. We must remember restraint and not lose respect for the golden number, three.

Three jobs I have had in my life:

  1. Heating, AC, and electrical assistant (aka crawlspace monkey)
  2. Wal-Mart pet’s department stocker
  3. Computer field technician

Three movies I would watch over and over:

  1. Big Lebowsi
  2. Ghost Busters – not that I particularly love it, but after 100 times or so why stop?
  3. A Clockwork Orange

Three places I have lived:

  1. John Hinkle Place (Bloomington, Indiana)
  2. Hillside Drive (LaGrange, Indiana)
  3. Wiley Hall (W. Lafayette, Indiana)

  1. Northern Exposure
  2. The Simpsons
  3. Are You Being Served?

Three places I have been on vacation:

  2. Oregon
  3. Tobacco Root Mountains – Judson Mead Geologic Field Station

Three web sites I visit daily:

  1. Yahoo Finance
  2. Google News
  3. Homestar Runner (ok, this is a site I’d like to visit everyday but it is important to regulate one’s self)

Three of my favorite foods:

  1. Bagels
  2. Macadamia nuts
  3. Vegetables

Three places I would rather be right now:

  1. Glacier National Park
  2. Francesco’s gelato freezer
  3. Svalbard

Three friends I am tagging that I think will respond (on their blogs or here in comments):

  2. topher
  3. l. claude

  1. hmm, i don’t suppose mp and the holy grail might be a fourth movie you could watch over and over and over (well, three times, perhaps, no more and no less)? very sneaky, but who can argue with such an authoritative voice?

    so are they fond of naming places after would-be assassins of ronald reagan in bloomington, or what? sheesh.

    if you forgive me for resorting to memes to keep my blog going, i’ll forgive you for leaving us adoring fans of your thought distillery hanging for so long. how we’ve missed you!
