Jim likes to…
November 15th, 2007 by Jim Clark
Just for a bit of fun, using Google (or whatever search engine floats your boat) search for your name, followed by ‘likes to’ surrounding both by double quotes. For example, “Jim likes to”. Then write down the first 10 search results.
This is what mine came back with:
- Jim likes to use big fancy words and monologue when he addresses someone.
- Jim likes to play football, pass, pass, pass.
- Jim likes to tell this story about one of the beneficial effects of biodiesel — the elimination of the well known diesel fuel exhaust odor.
- Jim likes to read about farming, sing to his pets and advocate for positive change in state policies that endanger the future viability of agriculture.
- Jim likes to hold occasional fireside chats in the church fellowship hall during which he regales a charmed congregation with tales stranger than fiction.
- Jim likes to do things in a certain order and dislikes his routines being altered.
- Jim likes to keep his business separate from his charitable contributions.
- Jim likes to get as many people on as he can comfortably.
- Jim likes to work with holes made by insects, birds, small animals, etc.
- Jim likes to lure people to his gingerbread house and abuse them.
Several of these statements are true about me. I’m not telling which.
What do you get when you try it?
These are the true ones, right?
# Jim likes to do things in a certain order and dislikes his routines being altered.
# Jim likes to keep his business separate from his charitable contributions.
# Jim likes to get as many people on as he can comfortably.
Two of those are wrong.
I’m pretty sure I know which ones of yours are true! Here are mine — now I’m off to go look up some Vegan songs so we can start a new family tradition this Christmas…
1. Lisa likes to boogie, late in the night. Lisa likes to woogie, it makes her feel all right. Lisa likes to boogie and Lisa likes to woogie … (Who doesn’t?)
2. Lisa likes to go with the flow, she likes to listen to the song first then think about it.
3. Lisa likes to shoot.
4. Lisa likes to go door-to-door and sing Vegan Holiday songs each year.
5. Lisa likes to remind me that it kind of defeats the whole purpose of a cellphone not to answer it when it rings.

9. Lisa likes to read, play video games and has an unapologetic addiction to CSI.
