Hokule’a posts another great meme, courtesy of Fire Ant and others. It’s based on Kevin O’Keefe’s The Average American: The Extraordinary Search for the Nation’s Most Ordinary Citizen. According to the book, a majority of Americans:
Eats peanut butter at least once a week. Nope. Every couple of weeks I’ll snag some as I’m making the kids’ lunches.
Prefers smooth peanut butter over chunky. No again. Definitely chunk style.
Can name all Three Stooges. The originals? Larry, Moe and Curly. Shemp, Joe and Curly Joe were the also-rans after Curly died, and Shemp (Moe’s and Curly’s brother) was the better of that lot, but I never found his stuff as funny as the originals. They should have pulled the act after Curly passed.
Lives within a 20-minute drive of a Wal-Mart. At least one.
Eats at McDonald’s at least once a year. Once a year? We try not to eat there more than once a week.
Takes a shower for approximately 10.4 minutes a day. Longer if I can.
Never sings in the shower. Never? Well, sometimes…
Lives in a house, not an apartment or condominium. Yep. I have been domesticated.
Has a home valued between $100,000 and $300,000. Yes
Has fired a gun. Why, yes, don’t mind if I do. Git yer grubby hands off the Second Amendment.
Is between 5 feet and 6 feet tall. Nope. Missed that one on the high side (just short of 6′3″).
Weighs 135 to 205 pounds. Let’s just say I missed that one on the high side as well.
Is between the ages of 18 and 53. Yep, 46 last week.
Believes gambling is an acceptable entertainment option. Only if you have a set limit and can push away from the table when finished. Most can’t and spend money they shouldn’t.
Grew up within 50 miles of current home. No, grew up in Illinois and now live in Colorado. (Just short of 850 miles away, as the corvus brachyrhynchos flies.)

When I put the King’s Kid blog to bed I brought over several of my favorite links. I appreciate your heart for what was lost on 9-11 and for the heroism of the responders. I’m saddened and ashamed that we are letting ourselves forget what happened that day. Thanks for keeping the site as a constant reminder.
