This meme is brought to you by the letter "D" Leptard posted a ten things that begin with the letter ___ meme. Here's how it works: When you see this meme and want to participate, post a comment requesting a letter (as I did at Leptard's site), and the blogger will respond in the comment form with a letter of his/her choice. Then you go back to your blog and post about ten things that start with that letter. (Since it's the weekend and I don't know how much time I'll be spending on my blog, the response to your request might be delayed. Please be patient.)
Leptard was gracious enough to give me a D. So here's the list of ten things that came to mind:
Devo. Not sure why those spuds were the first to come to my mind. I guess it's because they've been a part of my life for so long. One of the great post-punk/new wave bands of the late '70s and early '80s.
Dunder Mifflin. The paper supply company that is the place of employment for the characters of NBC's The Office.
D'oh! Homer Simpson's famous catchphrase. "It is typically used when Homer injures himself, realizes that he has done something stupid, or when something bad has happened to him." I use it a lot, and for many of the same reasons.
Derriere. One of those funny words I like to say. It's French, so it's classier than butt, ass or boo-TAY, and usually more fun to say.
Damaged -- a classic 1981 album by the seminal southern California proto-hardcore punk band Black Flag. Also the name of two title songs ("Damaged I" and "Damaged II").
Drumsticks. One of my favorite parts of the chicken. Best when fried.
David, the Son of Jesse. An Old Testament figure. Bold warrior, sensitive poet and musician, beloved king, lusty adulterer, man after God's own heart. David is one of my favorites.
Dryvetyme Onlyne. A bryllyant wryter. One of the blogosphere's best.
