baritonejeff First: If you've been tagged, you must (BOSSY!) write your answers in your own LJ (please) and replace any question that you dislike with a new, original question.
Second: Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you (I don't take instruction well, therefore I tag ALL my friends on my Flist! Please?)
