I'm having a bad case of blogger's block again. I think any original ideas I had for a post went down the toilet with my breakfast when the smells in Hobby Lobby made my stomach do a flip-flop at lunch. (Yes, I went back, and yes, that was more than you wanted to know.) Thank goodness for writing prompts.I promise I won't turn this blog into the meme of the day, but this one looked like fun. I found it on a blog called Thursday Thunks. Every Thursday the bloggers pose a series of questions for you to answer any way you want. As you can see, the questions are very...uh...deep, and my answers are even...uh...deeper.
1. Thursday Thunks is written by 2 insane women (Berleen & Kimber) that have never met face to face yet are best friends. One lives in Minnesota and the other in Arizona. They keep trying to convince each other to move to their state. What color house will Berleen have here in Arizona?
I'm going to go with Earthen Sienna since it sounds Arizonian but is actually just a fancy name for beige.
2. Do you dream in black & white or color, and how do you know your brain isn't just playing games with you?
Color. I don't allow my brain to play games unless my brain first agrees to let me win. I may not be able to beat a nine-year-old at the X-box or Wii, but dang it if I'm going to lose to an organ.3. Does bubble gum lose its flavor on the bedpost?
No. While I have never stuck my gum there--I've stuck it pretty much everywhere else--I'm pretty sure that if I ever did, it would not get the chance to lose its flavor for one of two reasons: (a) my dogs would eat it, or (b) it would get stuck in my hair. Plus, I always buy Extra, and Extra's flavor lasts an extra, extra, extra long time.4. We're buying Underoos. Which superhero do you pick?
Do they still sell those? If they do, I'm going to go with Wonder Woman because those are the Underoos I had as a kid and because they matched my Wonder Woman bike. (Yes, I'm totally spinning around like Lynda Carter right now, just not in my Underoos. I'm sad to say that I don't think those would fit me anymore.)5. Do you think if you yell loud enough while watching your favorite sporting event, it makes a difference in the outcome of the event?
I don't watch sports, but I have been yelling a lot at General Hospital lately. Do I think it makes a difference? No, but it feels good to yell for the millionth time, "Drop the damn Dominante paternity bomb already, and while you're at it, do something about Olivia's boobs! If she pushes those things up any higher, she's going to start knocking over the set!"6. Is the word gullible in the dictionary?
Yes, on page 518 right between gullet and Gulliver. Surprisingly enough, my grandmother's picture isn't right next to it. Remind me to write Merriam Webster about that. They might be able to include it in the new edition.7. If you could pick any currency to be the face on which currency would it be?
The $100 bill. My mother always taught me not to be cheap.
8. What was your imaginary friend's name as a kid, and did they ever annoy you or just us?
I honestly don't remember what my childhood imaginary friend was named. I do, however, remember the name of my current imaginary friend. His name is Dude. I ask him things all the time. "Dude, where's my keys?" "Dude, why does the kitchen smell like a rotten egg?" "Dude, did I just step in pee again?" "Dude, didn't I pick up this same mess yesterday?" He annoys me immensely because he never answers me back. Still I continue to put up with him because he looks like this:
What, did you think Dude looked like a lady?
9. Do you think it's ironic that the poop deck is in the rear of the ship?
I suppose. Here are some even deeper questions. Do you think they call the people who have to clean that part of the ship pooper scoopers? How many times a day do sea gulls poop on the poop deck? If I were to go on a cruise with my dogs, do you think I could get them to use the poop deck or would they just squat on the cabin floor? Do they ever paint a poop deck poop color, or do they sometimes get creative and paint the poop deck some color like Golden Flood? Yeah, ponder those babies all night.
