My Me Meme

Yes, buoys and gulls, it's time for another one.

1. My: You’ve heard the saying "I’d give my right arm for…". So, what would you give your right arm for?

A really good prosthetic that could hurl a fastball at 96 mph.

More seriously, I'd want a worldwide moratorium on stupidity, though this would probably leave me out of work and without any political identification — in which case, the ability to hurl a fastball at 96 mph would become useful.

2. Me: What’s one word that describes how you want people to see you?

"Distinct." I have no particular desire to be noticed, but I really hate being Part of the Crowd.

3. Meme: If you could be any blogger, which blogger would you be… and why?

I thought about this for a while, and my first thought was Lileks, since I quote him at greater length than anyone this side of Lawn Guyland, but depriving Gnat of her proper papa struck me as a horrible thing to do, so I gave up the idea. After further consideration, I came up with E. M. Zanotti, for the following reasons:

• She's easily a match for me in surliness;
  
• Her optimism/despair ratio is a lot closer to what I'd like for my own;
  
• She's only twenty-four, so she'll probably be around for sixty or seventy more years.
  

The boots, incidentally, are not a factor.
