We were discussing how of the 4 loyal readers I am aware of, there is one who has never had the pleasure of having a whole post dedicated specifically to them. So Anonymous, this one is for you. Your loyalty and comments have made you an extended part of the blog family. But as we were discussing you, we realized something. You don’t have a real name. Who is Anonymous?
I have only actually met Mr. Anonymous once when he provided me with tickets to see my future husband Mr. Buble (thanks for that by the way!) However, we all know so very little about him. Maybe he is very shy and that is why he refuses to take a moniker? Or perhaps he likes the ambiguity of remaining anonymous so as to keep people guessing?
Whatever the reason, we are happy to have you as part of the blog circle but would like to extend the following challenge...name thyself Mr. Anonymous!
P.S. - If anyone other then Eboogie or Pooh can identify what I am referencing in the blog title, I will be suitably impressed and will give you a cookie.

You are full of challenges today McD. I like the challenge of guessing the title. I of course know the answer but will keep my mouth shut. Hee hee! :)
I knew you would which is why you were disqualified to begin with!
I love a good challenge!
Wow, the gauntlet has been thrown...and I'm sad to say that the only thing I can come up with is "Who's that Girl" with Madonna.
Wow, I feel so honored!
First, it was an honor just to be nominated! All of the other nominees are SO GREAT, really, I didn't expect this at all!
I would like to thank the Academy...and of course, McD - whom without none of this would have been possible! haha
You know, what's odd is there were times where I was like... hmmm, I wonder if they are all like, why does this weirdo continue to reply? haha... Especially since KP doesn't even write anymore...
So I actually stopped reading for a little while and it was still in my favorite so one boring day I checked it out... and as it turns out, it was during one of your long hiatus's's's's of writing and I only missed I think 1 blog... And then I think it was pooh (hmm, pooh or eboogie) that wrote something about asking where I had been...
So, I kinda figured maybe you all didn't think it was creepy... haha...
So why would some guy who's your cousin's friend continue to read after all this time... well, simply put, I find it entertaining!
Not that Miss McD can attest too much into my personality, but in the very least she knows I can't be all that bad since I did get her to see Mr. McD (I mean Buble) up close, bought dinner, and also related to KP...
So with that said... I am not sure what exactly you all would like to know...
Who is Anonymous?
You all already know my real name since I was exposed oh so long ago... so you aren't clearly looking for just a name from me...
Why did I stick with Anonymous... hmm... well, at first, I actually was anonymous! haha...
Am I shy? Not really, but perhaps at times... I guess I am shy in an outgoing sort of way!
So you all tell me, what is it that you would like to know?
Do you want to unveil the man behind the mask?
Hmm, would you really want that? Kinda like when people ask to know how a card trick is done, they really don't! haha...
p.s. I am with you mato, the first thing that came to my mind was Who's that girl...
But, I am going to go with there being some night on the mexico vacation where some stud walked into the bar and all three of the sister's stopped like a record player needle had just been scratched to a halt and said, "Who's THAT guy!?"...
holy... I can't believe I wrote that much and really didn't say anything at all!
Sorry, 'bout that, but I guess on this one I am allowed! haha...
Oh, and obviously as you can see, Anonymous is a rarity amongst men in that I actually enjoy communicating...
anonymous - The thing that I really want to know is what you would name yourself. Do you have a nickname?
McD's title hails from Grease 2. Stephanie Zinone sees a disguised Michael Carrington for the first time. She is extremely impressed with his ability to ride a motorcycle and wants to know 'Who's that Guy?'
I was really impressed with mato's and anonymous's guesses though.
You forgot to mention that a musical & dance number ensues. The movie, albeit cheesy is a classic in the McDougall household.
We used to act out the scenes from Grease II (and other cheesy 80's movies) often times fashioning props to mimic ones seen in the movies.
I think I couldn't come up with a good "name" so I just left it as Anonymous... I mean, it starts with "An" anyway! However, I have a whole slew of nicknames from over the years...
Anthony
Ant
Agony
A-balls
Antny
Antuny
Antuan
Antonio
Antonino
Nomar
Nomaaaahhh
Tony
Tone
Tones
Palus
Paduch
Pernunzio
Skinny Guinea
The story behind Agony is when I was born I would cry all the time - the relatives would all hold me and i would just cry and cry until I was given back to my mom... they all thought I was just a momma's boy... but, I cried like I was in Agony... turns out, I was! I had a double-hernia... So at 6 months I went in for the operation and pretty much that was it for my crying... somehow, the nickname hung around for a while and is sometimes thrown back in the mix...haha...
And just as a side note... really no one calls me Tony... A rare few, but I have never been a real "Tony"... Tony is the cocky dude walking the streets of NY with a thick accent etc... Anthony is the kid running home for pasta in the streets of Boston... needless to say, I am an Anthony! haha...
Hmm, there may be more nicknames but that's all I can think of right now! So if I was to pick one, I think I may have to go with A-balls...haha...
Favorite candy bar... well, I am not that big of a candy eater... but I can always go for an Almond Joy...
Chocolate, Almond, Coconut, need I say more?
Here are a few more of my favorites:
Movie: The Shawshank Redemption
Color: Black (No, I am not goth!)
Food: Ravioli
TV Show: The Office
Anything else?
p.s. Grease 2? I stick Grease 2 in the category with Rocky V (and soon to be VI) and Godfather Part III - they never happened...
I googled "Who's that guy" to see what came up...
First thing on the list was the song from Grease 2...
Damn! I wish I thought of doing that before so I coulda won that cookie...
Your first option should ALWAYS be google!
Have you ever actually seen Grease 2? If not, I don't see how you can lump it with bad Rocky movies.
...and I think you have to wait to pass judgment on the new Rocky until after you see it. The trailer actually looks good!
What makes you think that I haven't seen Grease 2?
Ok, you're right though... I haven't...haha... But I am pretty sure Michelle Pfifer is in it, and I think I saw about 2 minutes of it before I quickly changed the channel...
I am not saying that some of those cheesy 80's movies aren't great... For instance, I love Teen Wolf! Not sure why, but a good half the time I was home sick from school that was the movie I through in...
McD... The trailer actually looks good for Rocky VI? Me confuserated... A computer determines that the young Rocky would actually beat the current champ so he gives it a shot for real?
I think after too many Rocky movies Sly lost his touch on being able to write the funny/witty commentary that exists in the first 4 installments.
If Rocky doesn't die in this one... I am going to have to lock it up with the old Rocky 5 edition where Tommy Gunn gets the beatdown in a street fight...
exhale... with all that said.. I guess I really don't have a right to banish Grease 2...
But I will anyway...
anonymous - if you don't calm down on the Grease 2 bashing, I'm going to give Pooh a call!
Wow REALLY a bit sensative on the Grease 2...
I am guessing you all can sing every song and recite every line...
My sister and I can do the same thing for Goonies and The Breakfast Club...
Wow, pooh, I must say I am utterly intimidated now... (yawn...)
I think you need to work on your cyberspace tactics!
ok-ok... With you all cirlcing the wagons to defend this movie, I will concede...
But I still say Rocky 6 will SUHUCK.
(Yes, that is worse than just sucking...)
Ahhh, see, I would have thought with our blog history here you actually were an intimidator... or at least thought you were...haha...
Tough to read intent sometimes...
And I am ok in Spanish, just what stuck with me from High School... which was a long time ago...
So what was that last blurb?
Something about me speaking lies or something?
It's Sunday night, do you know what's on?
Yep, ironic, isn't it... a Rocky Marathon on Spike TV!
Showing ALL the Rocky movies...
Rocky, Rocky II, Rocky III, and Rocky IV.
Hmmm, wonder why they stopped there... Guess I am not the only one who feels that way...
HAHA!
It is funny because Jill is definitely not the intimidator of the three of us. However, she was possessed in the Mexican flea market. It was hysterical to see her break out of her shell. I, on the other hand, told the vendor to shut up when I was trying to ask him what was the hottest hot sauce!
I am not very good speaking in foreign languages. I can usually understand what people are trying to say. I just can't respond. Pretty scary since we are going to Europe this Friday. I did learn how to count to 10 in German and learned greetings and 0-3 in Czech. German might not be too bad. Czech is quite intimidating...that language doesn't use vowels! Their words look like the made up words on the word verification.
McD - Is this a new record for comments on the blog?
Anonymous - That is too funny that they didn't play Rocky V. It is sweeps. I guess they know better!
First, pooh - I NEVER said that! haha... (here we go again!)
If anyone has a few minutes to kill, I suggest you check out the January 2006 entry...
It is quite hilarious and amazing how everything spiraled so out of control! Even grandma stepped in!
Ok, back to this blog...
pooh - your name is Jill. Huhmmm... never would have made you for a Jill... And oddly, it wasn't until eboogie mentioned it that I realized I didn't know anyone's name! I think if I ever met any of you I would be more comfortable calling you by your blog name...haha.
Now I am trying to figure out eboogie's name... pooh and McD have the normal all-american type names, so I am guessing it's something like that...
hmmm, Christine?
or Kristen?
McD - Yeah, when I saw the marathon was on I looked ahead in the guide and was cracking up at how Rocky V wasn't included...
Eboogie - maybe it's not what you are saying in the other languages as much as it is how you are saying it! And be careful because when you speak German and/or Czech it always sounds like you're mad!
Pooh -I'm so sorry I let your name slip! I'm such a bad blogger!!
anonymous -I'll give you a hint...It begins with an 'E'.
does it end in...
"boogie"
haha.. hmm, I think I got it...
E _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
right? haha...
Side note... my word verification could definitely be a word in german...
"fjuxpnlz"
I am not sure of the definition but it definitely looks like a dirty word... haha!
nope...lot less letters. could be a boy's or girl's name but boys spell it differently.
Interesting... I never made you for an Edward...
HAHA!
Actually, you are really throwing me here with the both a boys and girls names! I may have to go to google for assistance!
p.s. NEW RECORD!!!!!
Wow guys, I have been mia for a couple of days and look what happens! Well done...
Yeah...New Record!
Edward? Um, it has to be a girl's name too!
Ohhhhhh, wait a sec... nice one...
You threw me - when you said boys spell it differently - I incorrectly assumed that the boys name also starts with an E...
BUT, I now think that the boys names starts with an "A"...
Eboogie is:
E _ _ _
bbrrrrrr r r r r t t t t t t t t t t t t t.
$200.
"R".
There is one R.
I'll spin...
bbrrrrrr r r r r t t t t t t t t t t t t t.
$500.
"N".
There is one "N".
Doo Doo Doo... that sound means that only vowels remain.
I'd like to solve the puzzle.
Eboogies name is...
well, you get the idea...haha
BUT, like I did say, an "all american girl" kind of name...
Wheel of Fortune was so much better when they used to make them shop in the hideously tacky rooms for completely useless items like porcelain dog statues. Just my opinion...
I totally agree! As the camera pans all the items it looked like they were in a pawn shop!
Hey Mr. A...Heard a rumor that you are really excited to spend Thanksgiving at Aunt Cathy's with the cats. Enjoy.
haha... Yeah, I think most of the P's are allergic...haha... including myself.
Speaking of KP - I heard she had quite a lil' accident... she hasn't gotten back to me though so I can see how she is! =(
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Also - side note, I did a bunch of laundry today...
It is freaking IMPOSSIBLE to fold a fitted sheet... WTF?!?!?
I basically end up just folding it and kinda rolling it up small enough to put in the drawer...
Sorry - I had to vent... and this seemed like the right place to do it...
and another thing... since I am in a feisty sort of mood - and since your sister brought it up...
McD - are you still single?
Hmmm, what was it you didn't like about me again - not your type?
Intelligent, honest, genuine, funny, witty, sarcastic, handsome, ambititous, successful, responsible, athletic, charming, compassionate, courteous, chivalrous, kind and
not to mention - not afraid to make an ass of himself in front of your family (clearly!),
Are you sure you don't even want to try going out on one date?
Not one?
Alright, if not, that's cool... I respect your decision...
Add respectful to the above list...
HAHAHA...
I saw KMP last night and she is doing fine...just mildly gimpy.
As far as the single thing, yes I am and I have decided that I will not go on another (bad?) date until 2007. I am giving myself the rest of the year off.
Plus, I have to see if my supermodel powers are still in effect as we are leaving the country. The previous theory was that my charms only work in non-English speaking counties and we will be hitting up 3. However, if I find my status is wavering, I can still look forward to Mexico in February where I am always a goddess.
And another thing...you can't hit on me via the blog. I don't do the internet dating thing. Plus that would just be weird. I mean you did arrange the first meeting between me and my future husband.
Holy cow...42 comments! We are a very chatty bunch, and it wasn't even because A 'pissed' us off! :)
A- Good job figuring out the name. I was cracking up when I read the whole WOF spinning thing. Quite clever! Here is some WOF trivia...How much does the wheel weigh? Why is Vanna in the Guinness Book of World Records?
As for the fitted sheet thing, I actually was watching a Martha Stewart segment once where she gave instructions on how to fold a fitted sheet. It looked quite simple with a twin sheet; however, in practice on a larger sheet, it didn't work very well. I guess it is just impossible.
I don't normally have any issues with putting the last corner of the fitted sheet on. Most of the time I make the bed by myself, but on those occasions that Moose helps, we usually play parachute (i.e. like 5th grade gym class) with the flat sheet.
1. I have no problems getting that last corner on - I just can't fold them.
2. Can't hit on you via the blog - what other choice do I have! haha...
So no worries, I get the 'hint'.
3. Bad date - odd that you claim to be going on so many... All my dates usually go well even if it's not going to work out...
I am probably far too nice...
4. It's a coin flip whether your international superstardom will work in Europe... I am not sure which countries you are going to but if they include Germany and the Czech, like eboogie mentioned, then I am not sure it will hold true...
I tink in dose kountrees dey liek dere vuman big n strung!
5. The whole point of this blog was for me to "name thyself"...
I have yet to do so... I have been thinking... and I need help in doing so...
So please offer up any ideas anyone has for what my name could be.
Something simple like:
Mr. A
or do I spice it up and word play something like:
MysterA
Or something else, any ideas?
Anyone?
Bueller?
Ooohh, I like MysterA. Good word play!
Well, I guess that is what I mean by bad date. My last date was to an Aerosmith and Motley Crue concert, so that was actually pretty fun. It was just that I didn't want to go out with the guy again.
Maybe you put too much pressure on the date... I think you should focus on just going out and having fun... if that happens, that's a GOOD DATE! haha...
Just because things don't work out doesn't make it bad...
So yeah, thanks for saving me the 100 bucks as you would have most assuredly had a bad date - definitely a good time, but bad date!...HAHA!
Alrighty, so let's give this MysterA thing a try, shall we?
p.s. The record has been SmASheD!
Yeah, new record and anonymous is now MysterA!
Despite the fact that everyone ignored my trivia questions, I will give you the answers...
The wheel weights 4000 lbs!
In 1992, the "Guinness Book of World Records" listed Vanna White as the world's most frequent clapper. Vanna puts her hands together for contestants some 28,080 times a season - an average of 720 times per show.
That is a dumber distinction than being voted class sexiest.
Dude, I got voted "Best Writer." Also translates to "Big Giant Loser."
Eboogs: I totally didn't remember you asking those trivia questions...
But, good to know, I will attempt to add them to memory! I think I will remember the Vanna one, but
the weight of the wheel, probably not...
McD: I don't think you could be a big giant anything...
pooh, pooh, pooh: It's MysterA, NOT MisterA.
McD-Best writer is good. You are being recognized for your intelligence. That is not a giant loser. That is fantastic.
I'm married to the class mathematician! He had the highest score in the school as a junior on some really important math test. That is impressive.
Those are the kind of superlatives that I would have liked to win.
The people in high school who win "cool" superlatives are the people who's memory of high school is the "best time of their lives"...
Which at the time, they think is the greatest thing ever... then when you get older and realize how insignificant everything was, it's pretty lame that it was someone's best time of their life!
I must admit, I am not so crazy about this MysterA thing just yet... I mean, before, I had a nice little radio button for "My Name"... now I actually have to enter it...
