Thursday Thunks

Wow, it’s been a long time since I posted Thursday Thunks, but I think it’s about time I started again.

The TT questions are brought to you by Bud, the color of Meg Ryan's Blouse and the number 33.

 

1. From whom did you get your last e-mail? I really have no idea.  Probably one of the many mailing lists that I’m on.

 

 

 

2. What is the most recent movie that you have seen in a theater?  Okay, these questions shouldn’t be this hard by I seldom go to the theatre.  Oh, now I remember—Toy Story 3.  So funny!!!  Ya, I know, I should go to the movie more often.

3. Have you ever seen a ghost?  I haven’t seen a ghost but I have heard one.  I used to live in the upstairs of a house that was known to have a ghost.  One night, I woke up when I heard someone running up the stairs as fast as she could.  If someone was running up the stairs like that, it would have been impossible to not run into the wall or for me not to see them from my vantage point.  Very strange.  Several people who had lived there had either, seen, heard, or had other evidence of her presence. 

 

4. Ever loved someone so much it made you cry?  Sadly, more than once.  Don’t you feel bad for me now? 

 

 

5. What are you most afraid of?  That’s a hard one.  Heights—they really make me nervous.  Snakes—yuck!  But, I think it must be poisonous spiders.  I don’t mind spiders in general but put me near a black widow-ewww!!!  I would scream and run as far as I could!!!  I’m really finding a hard time being funny with these questions!!!

 

 

6. What do you do when you are bored?  Watch TV, usually while I’m working on an artsy project!!!

 

 

7. Other than the author of this mess of a meme, whose blog are you most curious to see their answers? It’s been so long since I’ve participated, I wouldn’t even be able to guess!!!

 

8. Name three things from your bucket list. I don’t have a bucket list.  I do have a lot more art in me and one of these days, I would like to right my novel.  I know, just sit down and right it!!!

 

9. Who was the last person who complimented you on how you looked, that actually was a surprise?  Sad but true, I can’t remember. :-(  I spend most of my days by myself so I don’t get much of a chance for complements.

 

10. Do you remember Berleen? I must start playing along more.  I didn’t even know Berleen went missing!!!!

11. What was the last concert that you attended where the band was much better than you imagined?  Jewell.  I wasn’t a big fan at the time, but a bunch of the ladies were going so I tagged along.  It was great!!!

12. What’s the next band you’re either planning to see or want to? I have become an even bigger fan of Jewell of late.  Love the song “A Life Uncommon” and would love to hear her perform it live!!!  I would also love to see Toby Keith.

 

13. What were the last things do you imagine that Kimber threw off the roof? A pink flamingo lawn ornament!!!  There’s a story behind that.  When I lived in Omaha, a cop friend of mine had a house warming party and everybody brought her a pink flamingo lawn ornament for a house warming gift.  As the party got into the night, one of the neighbors called 911 because a bunch of guys were on the roof.  Of course, since most of the people at the party were police, they never came.  When she got up the next morning, her pink flamingos were all on the roof!!!

That’s all for this week!!!  If you'd like to play along, just go on over to the Thursday Thunks blog to pickup the questions and link your answers up!!!  It’s fun, why not play along!!!

Blessings,

Christine

It’s been a long time since I participated in Thursday Thunks.  I really missed it!

 

The TT questions are brought to you by Kimber, the color of Wednesday's eyes and the number 5.

 

 

 

1. Have you ever performed the Heimlich Maneuver on someone or had it performed on you? No, that would be very scary either way!

 

 

2. Do you have a red room in your home? (Either painted red or red curtains etc.)  No, I’m not much of a red type of gal.

 

 

 

3. Have you ever felt like banging your head against the wall?  So many times.  I’ve even done it a few times.  Ummmm, maybe that’s my problem!

 

4. Reports came out this week that Michael Jackson was gay. Are you shocked, don't believe it, don't care or felt he was all along? I pretty much felt he was all along but I really don’t care. 

5. What's the dumbest thing you have done after a breakup with a S/O?  Drunk dialing—need I say more!  But in my defense, he got together with an old girlfriend who did the same thing so I think it was fair!!!

 

6. If Berleen and Bud are standing on the roof of a one story building and decide to throw water balloons at Kimber walking down below on the sidewalk, what color balloon hits her first? Green!  Kinda like green M&Ms.

 

 

7. What are the wildest, craziest pajamas you own?  I don’t have wild pajamas.  I have some with donuts on them.  Does that count?  Small print—these are not the actual pjs.

 

 

 

8. Have you ever ridden in a sidecar on a motorcycle? No, I’ve never even known anyone that has one.

 

 

9. Do/did you go party on Cinco De Mayo, and if so what color was the bartender's shirt?  Didn’t go then I’d be drunk blogging!

 

 

 

10. Why does a hat have a bill?  Duh, so it can quack!

11. If you were a WWE professional wrestler, what would your stage name be?  I thought and thought, answered all my quests and thought and thought, got my pictures and thought and thought and I just can’t come up with anything.

12. How many keys do you have on your key ring? Seven.

13. What is the oldest picture you currently have in your home? What year was it taken and who/what is the photo of?  Great, great grandma/grandpas—even maybe another great and I have no idea when they were taken.

Thanks for stopping by my Thursday Thunks!!!

Welcome to my Thursday Thunks.

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Berleen, the color of opals, and the number a thousand more than last week.

 

 

 

1. What is your favorite kind of cookie?  My grandmother’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.  Yumnumnumnum!!!

 

2. If a birds wing falls asleep, does it hurt when it tries to flap it's wings or does that make it feel better?  If he flaps it hurts, but if he has is sweetie rub them, the tingling goes away.

 

3. Water - tab, bottle, filtered or....???  I think you meant tap?  I drink tap with Wal-Mart brand Crystal Light peach flavored.  And yes, I drink it with chocolate chip cookies!

 

4. Would you (or do you) have a stripper pole installed in your home?  Not even!

5. Do you still have any Christmas decoration up?  I didn’t put then up this year.  But at about this time last year, my family staged an intervention to help me take them down!!!  Sadly, it’s true!

 

6. What brand of camera do you have? Kodak.

 

 

7. Why do paint colors have weird names?  And I wanna’ know who thinks up those name?  Back in the day, when I worked at Sears paint department, they were numbered.  Now they name them after everything.  It kind of scares me when they name them after foods.  What if some idiot sees it and tries to eat it?

8. Which toe is your favorite and which foot is it on?  My  fave is my second toe because it’s longer than the others and that’s a sign of intelligence.  (No, I’m not the idiot that would eat paint.)  I have middle toes on both feet!!!

 

9. What would you do if a celebrity sneezed in your face?  Yuck!  I’d give them a nasty look and ask if they had a tissue.  Being a celebrity doesn’t excuse bad manners.

 

 

10. If a stranger came to your door and asked for a glass of water, would you give it to them?  No!  That’s just weird.  Every time I answer the door without checking to see who it is first, I regret it.  I need a camera at my door so I can know if I want to answer it or not.  (Is it weird that the picture makes me need to pee?  I’ll be back in a minute.)

11. The government has asked that you pick the newest national holiday - what is it?  We need another long holiday weekend in the summer so I’d say National Camping Day.  But there’s a twist.  You only get it off if you go camping.  Oh, wait.  That means EVERYONE would be camping and I don’t want that.  We’ll call it National No Camping Day!!!  The I’ll be the only one in the campground.

 

12. How many toothpicks could you fit into a beer can?  2457.  Now you have me curious!

 

13. Whats the weirdest excuse you ever gave for missing school or work...or heck, even a social function, date, whatever?  I told my boss that I sprained my ankle (I was a waitress) and then I actually sprained my ankle that night.  That’s just my luck.

 

14. Can we stop now?  No.

If you want to play along, go to the Thursday Thunks blog and link your post up.

Welcome to this week’s Thursday Thunks.  We will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Bud, the color of Australian Money, and the number 333.

Did you see that? We have a guest blogger this week!!!!

1. Someone knocks on your door. You have not seen this person in years. You were once great friends. Who would you like it to be and why?  I would still like to be me but from about 15 years ago!

2. What do you think would be a great song title that isn't one? Who do you want to record it?  I have thought and thought about this and can’t come up with anything.  I do know that I would like Jimmy Buffet to sing it!  I’m just not very creative today.

 

 

3. You are having a party. If I'm invited, what should I bring?  This!

 

 

 

4. If your spouse or s/o cheated with a one night stand while away, would you really want to know?  Probably not.  But if there’s is any chance I might find out, he had better tell me.

5. How long does it take for a house guest to drive you bonkers?  It would totally depend on who it is.  But for the most part, about a week.  I’ve stayed a lot longer that a week at my sis’ house though.

 

6. If you could pick a new color for the sky, what would you pick?  Did you not get the memo, I love pink!

 

7. What did you think of the Olympics?  I always love the Olympics!  U – S – A!!!  We had several Idahonians (as one of our skiers said) win medals as well!

8. Could TT have thought of a lamer blogger that me to guest host?  You’re the perfect guest host.  Although when I saw that you were guest host, I was a little worried.  My mom reads this blog you know!

9. What's the stupidest lie that someone really thought you'd believe?  Lie?  No one would ever lie to me.

 

10. What was the best day you had in high school? Tell us about it.  Good days in high school?  Gradualtion!

11. Name something that you have in your home that you are sure most people don't.   An antique suitcase.  I know that’s lame but I couldn’t think of anything else.  I told you I wasn’t very creative today.

12. Why haven't you at least tried to play The Dating Profile Meme?  I told you, my mom reads this blog!

13. Do you think homophobia is a choice?  Never thought of it that way.  But working in theatre for a number of years, I’m definately not homophobic. 

Great questions Bud!!!

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Berleen, the color of your keyboard and the number 4579.

 

 

 

 

 

1. Who is the craziest person in your family?  Me, of course!!!

 

 

 

 

2. If you could make turtle shells any color you wanted, what color would turtles be? Such easy questions – PINK!

 

 

3. How fast do hotcakes sell?  Fast if you stack them like this!  Yummy, now I’m going to need pancakes for breakfast!!!

 

  4. Can cannibals be arrested for being under the influence of alcohol if they have eaten someone who was drunk?  First, gross!!!  Then, probably—depends on how drunk the guy was!

 

5. If I had my legs amputated, would I have to change my height and weight on my driver's license?  Again, gross!   And again, probably.

 

 

6. Where do people in Hell tell other people to go?  Heaven.

 

 

7. Do you make stupid little baby noises when talking to your pets?  Of course!!!  This is my baby when she was little!   Well, she’s still little but you know what I mean.  This was taken the day I brought her home!

8. Is the light on in the room?  Yes.

9. Did the voice tell you that the light is on in the room?  What voice, I didn’t hear voice, I never hear voices.  Ya, that’s right.

10. If you were to name an alcoholic drink, what would it be called?  Pink lady is already taken so I just don’t know.  Actually, I don’t even know what’s in a pink lady!

For those who want to know, it’s a gin, applejack, lemon juice, grenadine, cream, and egg white (according to About.com) and of course the marschino cherry!  It was one of the first "girly drinks" and a favorite of the high society ladies of the 30's.

That’s it for this week’s Thursday Thunks!  You can play too!!!

Christine

I’ve missed Thursday Thunks but just wasn’t in the mood the last couple of weeks.  But we’re back now!!!

 

We’re Not Laughing at You, We’re Laughing with You

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Kimber, the color of doom, and the number 999.

 

 

 

1. You walk into a room, someone turns and looks at you and laughs. What do you do?  I’d like to say I’d just start laughing as well, but I think I’d start turning red and wonder what is wrong.

 

 

2. You find an egg, take it home and keep it warm. It hatches. What type of dinosaur is it? Do you keep it and name?  I thought dinosaurs went extinct years ago!

 

3. Which superhero would you want to be related to and why?  The classic, Superman!

 

 

 

4. A drunken sailor comes up to you on the pier...he begins harassing you in a most repulsive way....what'll be your defense?  Hai Karate!

5. Entering a CLASS A piano bar, you're encouraged to sing atop the grand instrument...you grab the microphone and sing.....
I’d sing “Hey Good Lookin’”.  It’s the only song I can sing worth a darn!

 

6. If you were a character in a Dr. Seuss book/movie, who would you be and why?  The little guy in green eggs and ham because I want to know what they taste like!

 

7. If you have just been called to be a substitute in the Winter Olympics for your country (apparently everyone else was busy), what sport(s) will you compete in?  I’d substitute for fellow Boisean, Jeret “Speedy” Peterson in Freestyle Ski Jumping.  I LOVE him!!!  On second thought, he should do it so he can win that gold medal!!!

8. Did the audience from the piano bar in question #5 applaud when you were done with your song?  Of course!!!

Questions 4 & 5 were contributed by Hootin' Anni. Thanks Anni!

It’s good to be back!

Blessings,

Christine
