... Like a Hole in the Head

Here's another fun blog game found at ambivablog: the need game. You google (or blingo!) your name and the word needs, all in quotes, then make a list of what you find. I first tried blingoing "Alison needs" and quickly found that two other bloggers had already completed that list. So I searched "Ali needs" instead, and here's what I found

• Ali needs a passport photo for his US visa
• Ali needs to speak to the consumers agency to make sure we’re set to “do business"
• Ali needs all the help he can get
• Ali needs an 18-inch zip to replace a broken one in a cushion
• Ali needs more sources of funds, equipment, and resources
• Ali needs some answers and her first question is if Caleb turned Elizabeth into a vampire
• Ali needs someone to blame for her loss
• ALI needs virtual volunteers
• Ali needs someone on her side
• Ali needs 4 million squid to make his new film Boka
• Ali needs to back up her words

Now you're supposed to underline the ones that are true, but I (as usual) agree with amba - they all apply. Tell me the vampire question isn't nagging at you now too. And that four million squid? I'm not making a film, but I'll use it to "do business" for sure.

This is fun. You have to try it even if you don't have a blog. Put your best results in the comments section or send them to me via e-mail. If you play on your blog, let us know in the comments section when it's up.

Barry - I'm calling you out on this one in particular. I think you're ready for your first blog meme - no? 

Comments

[Erika]

Apparently...

Erika needs coffee
Erika needs to eat a steak sandwich while doing sit-ups
Erika needs divine healing
Erika needs to go blone again
and Erika needs to sing, work, and be clean.

I've gone blonde before...it wasn't pretty. So, that's one 'need' I definitely don't need again.

[Sarah]

Sarah Needs A Cold Shower, Self-Esteem.
Sarah needs someone who can escort her from port to port.
Sarah needs a root
canal.
Sarah needs comforting Fotographic information (come on, it's not even spelled right)
With Moon in Libra, Sarah needs to feel peaceful.

[Beau]

1. Beau needs a good home.
2. Beau needs a new favorite now that Kesse is gone.
3. Beau needs to go when Beau needs to go!
4. Beau needs your help.
5. BEAU NEEDS TO REMEMBER THE PICTURES!!!!
6. Beau needs to use a wheelchair for distances or when he
is having a particularly hard time.
7. Beau needs to be adopted by a family that has a yard that is securely fenced with
a 6' tall wooden fence.
8. Beau needs Celeste to save a man's life -- he never expected a high-octane
attraction that could wreck his well-protected heart.
9. Beau needs a loving home
10. Beau needs me because it can be very dangerous.

What a fun game.
#3 also mentions that Beau is housebroken.

[Erin]

Erin needs an exorcism
Erin Needs To Be Naked Too
Erin needs Paul more than he needs her
Erin needs, his Lordship, a Martial Artist Apprentice

[Alison]

These are hilarious. I think Erika is a super model, Sarah is a boat, Beau is a dog and Erin is an anime character.

And I'm thinking Erin and Erika should contact a priest about a two-for-one exorcism and divine healing deal. Put your heads together, girls. See what you can come up with.

Ali is an undercover detective or maybe an international spy. Tammy is like, in a mid-life crisis or something. I'm not a regular over here, but we've met on mr. gobley and i am a mouthy(but not mean) regular at amba's place. I just came over to view your needs :^).

I wonder if these lists change over time and i really wonder about the real people behind all those needs- even when they apply to me!!

This was so much fun! Here are the highlights:

Michelle needs to learn to be more careful with her Voodoo.

Michelle needs to find a coach, and a pool, for that matter.

Michelle needs to understand import and export regulations for countries all over the world.

And although that seems like a fitting place to stop, I just had to add one more ...

Aunt Susan needs to hook up your catheter since I forgot to take it out

Aunt Susan needs 50 bushels of apples for her famous Apple pie to sell at your local Apple Festival in November

I couldn't find ten that were appropriate for a family blog. I'm a little concerned that the term "Aunt Susan needs" led me to several adult sites.
