Surly's Soap Box

Ya know, memes are a good way to see who really reads your blog! You can post a meme, tag someone, and then excitedly wait to see how they respond. And wait. And...wait.

But I can't leave the NightWriter waiting. Besides, he's one of the few, elite readers of this blog. He is one of the ones that realize reading Surly's Soap Box is like getting a daily dose of antioxidants: It's good for you, but nobody can explain exactly why.

So...What sitcom character do I wish I were? (and Iron Chef is not a sitcom)

As far as television chefs go, I can't be Giada De Laurentiis because, well,...

I just can't smile like that. And she's not particularly amusing.

I took a look at the British as well, and considered BlackAdder (of the WWI "Blackadder Goes Forth" series) but there was that running into German machine gun fire thing.

I considered the "Soup Nazi" of Seinfeld fame, but he was a minor character.

So the obvious choice for me was: Gordon Shumway, otherwise known as Alf. Being an alien would explain away a bunch of bizarre behavior. I'd take a pass on eating cats, though.

I, in keeping with the spirit on memes, tag the following three: Doug Bass, Bogus Doug, and hhmmm, TKls2myhrt over at Katie's Beer.
