A longish Tag from Blue!

A quirky questionnaire!

We have been tagged by Blue with what she labeled “a quirky questionnaire!” As she explained it, the idea behind this questionnaire is to learn a few previously unknown facts about friends..She tagged me and muzzer! So we have set it up so my answers are first, and Muzzer’s answers come second.

We should tag some people, but this is a long tag, and takes some time that folks might not have. However, if you are willing, consider yourself tagged! Copy the questions and put in your own answers to save some time, and pass it on if you want to!
