Today's meme #2: 10 Things I Like About "P"

Gaily gacked from joyeuse13: The Alphabet Meme
Leave a comment and I'll give you a letter; then you have to list 10 things you like starting with that letter. Post them in your journal and give out new letters to your commenters in turn.

1. Purple things, because it is my beloved Songbird's favorite color (possibly excepting teal, which she also loves. Anything both colors to wear is her favorite clothing).
    
   
2. Philcon, the nation's oldest SF/fantasy convention. Went for most of a decade and a half religiously. Too damn far away now and too expensive to attend. Gods, I miss it.
    
   
3. Peach cobbler. Freshly baked and hot out the oven, with a tall, cool glass of two- or one-percent milk riding shotgun. Yum. What good ol' Suthun boy (or gal) don't like that? (Ice cream scoop on top for serving á la mode optional.)
    
   
4. The music of Pinkard & Bowden, especially their funny parody songs like "Propane" (TTTO "Cocaine" by Eric Clapton & Cream), which also resonates with this son of the deep South. ("If you wanna get warm / When yer down on the farm / Propane...") Hank Hill would be proud. (Does that count as a two-fer? No? Oh, well, worth a shot...)
    
   
5. Speaking of music, I loves me some Prince when I's in a get-down-and-be-funky mood. "Gett Off" and "Cream" are among my recent fave songs in his catalog.
    
   
6. Does Monty Python count? And do I really have to explain why I like their comedy to this crowd? Thought not.
    
   
7. Picard, Jean-Luc, Captain, USS Enterprise versions D-E. Again, in this crowd, 'nuff said.
    
   
8. Pink lemonade. Nothing better on a hot, thirsty summer day. Somehow plain old yellow lemonade just doesn't taste the same. (Yeah, I know, it's only food coloring, but still...)
    
   
9. Prawns fried in coconut batter, or as they're more commonly known here in the States, coconut shrimp. With orange marmalade dipping sauce. Yum.
     
   
10. My one and only (so far) Pegasus Award for "A Simple Country Doctor." Took three nominations to get there, but worth it all.

Now it's your turn; post a request here, get a letter, post your list in your own LJ.

Of course yellow lemonade doesn't taste the same as pink. Yellow-flavor and pink-flavor are completely different!

The really sad thing about Philcon is that I lived in its close vicinity for many years and didn't even know about it. The one time I went was just to hear Lois Bujold read from "A Civil Campaign," and I went for that one event and that was it. Ohhhh, if only I'd known!
