OK, I'll Bite. Sounds like fun.
The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2. What I create will be just for you.
3. It'll be done withing a year. [ie - before Easter 2010]
4. You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be a song. It may be a [comic collection] or maybe even some creation I haven't yet dreamed up. I may draw. I may bake you something and mail it to you. It may not be big or impressive. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure! But lets be honest here. This is me and I will likely do something amazing. =) So come on, sign up!
5. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.
The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must re-post this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me!
The *other* catch is: I need a way to send you whatever it is I dream up for you. But, we can work out that out once I see you've re-posted this offer on YOUR blog!

What Does Your Favorite Dessert Say About YOU?
If each of the eight desserts listed below were sitting in front of you, which would you choose? (Sorry, you can only pick one!)
Pick *your* favorite dessert, and then look to see what psychiatrists think about you.
Here are your choices:
1. Angel Food Cake
2. Brownies
3. Lemon Meringue Pie
4. Vanilla Cake With Chocolate Icing
5. Strawberry Short Cake
6. Chocolate Cake With Chocolate Icing
7. Ice Cream
8. Carrot Cake
My problem is, I don't have just one *Sure Fire,* pick-it-every-time winner!
I'm very fussy about my brownies. I want them chewey and nutty and melt-in-your-mouth. And I've *never* succeeded in making any that turned out that way!
My favorite birthday cake is vanilla cake, but I don't want chocolate icing! I want a vanilla butter cream icing, or, better still, a whipped cream icing - - - still vanilla - - - like wedding cake.
I absolutely ADORE strawberry short cake!!! But, not ALL THE TIME!
If it's a real, German milk chocolate cake, that's not too dry, with a lovely fudge icing, there are times I would do almost anything for a piece of chocolate cake. Pepperidge Farms makes a particularly nice, albeit rather small, chocolate cake. . .
Do this mean I'm schizophrenic?
Well, here's what Your Favorite Dessert is *Supposed* to indicate about your personality:
1. ANGEL FOOD CAKE -- Sweet, loving cuddly. You love all warm and fuzzy items. A little nutty at times. Sometimes you need an ice cream cone at the end of the day. Others perceive you as being childlike and immature at times.
2. BROWNIES -- You are adventurous, love new ideas , and are a champion of underdogs and a slayer of dragons When tempers flare up you whip out your saber. You are always the oddball with a unique sense of humor and direction. You tend to be very
loyal.
3 LEMON MERINGUE -- Smooth, sexy, & articulate with your hands, you are an excellent caregiver and a good teacher.But don't try to walk and chew gum at the same time. A bit of a diva at times, you set your own style because you do your own thing. You shine when it comes to helping others and have many friends.
4. VANILLA CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING -- Fun-loving, sassy,humorous, not very grounded in life; very indecisive and lacking motivation.. Everyone enjoys being around you, but you are a practical joker. Others should be cautious in making you mad. However, you are a friend for life.
5. STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE -- Romantic , warm, loving. You care about other people, can be counted on in a pinch and expect the same in return. Intuitively keen. You can be very emotional at times but a true person in every way. You like to do things for yourself and help others learn about themselves.
6. CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING-- Sexy; always ready to give and receive. Very creative, adventurous, ambitious, and passionate. You can appear to have a cold exterior but are warm on the inside. Not afraid to take chances . Will not settle for anything average in life. Love to laugh.
7. ICE CREAM -- You like sports, whether it be baseball,football,basketball, or soccer. If you could, you would like to participate, but you enjoy watching sports. You don't like to give up the remote control. You tend to be self-centered and high maintenance.
8. CARROT CAKE -- You are a very fun loving person, who likes to laugh. You are fun to be with. People like to hang out with you. You are a very warm hearted person and a little quirky at times. You have many loyal friends. You were meant to lead and teach others. A wonderful role model.
Well - - - what do you think? Any truth to this theory?

Why Socialism Will NEVER Work
An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had never failed a single student before but had -- once -- failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism." All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.
After the first test the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. But, as the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too; so they studied little.. The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering, blame, name calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because WHEN THE REWARD IS GREAT, THE EFFORT TO SUCCEED IS GREAT; BUT WHEN THE GOVERNMENT TAKES ALL THE REWARD AWAY, NO ONE WILL TRY OR WANT TO SUCCEED.
Could not be any simpler than that....
