This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Kimber, the color of Bret Michaels' bandana, and the number 8888.

1. Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself? Why does Braun's send me the reject  drivers on Friday??  They are starting to really piss me off!
 
2. Where's your picket fence?  I'm more of the wrought iron fence - plastic version.
 
3. With a big smile on your face, you do what? Suck Curtis into one of my plans... you'd think by now he'd learn!
 
4. If I was to walk up to you, you'd do what? You'd have to find me first - people at work think I'm always shooting off somewhere else - it's hardwer to hit a moving target!
 
5. The list goes on and on. What list?  Well, my "list" at work keeps growing longer, and trust me you don't want  to be on it.  People on the list keep asking people not on the  list how to get off.  Hmmmf, have I mentioned I'm half Scorpio?
 
6. Does every rose have a thorn or does every thorn have a rose?  I went outside and counted.  Every rose has at least 8 or 9 thorns.  Which is fine with me - I don't like cut flowers.  They are dead, people!  You've decapitated them!!  Might as well stick a horse's head in my bed...
 
7. Talk dirty to me. What kind of mop/vacuum/dust thingymabob do you use? Not getting up to check the brand, but one of those steam mop things, and a hoover bagless with the special filter thingy, and the yellow fluffy, disposable head duster thingy.
 
8. My Mamma don't _cook______ and my  Daddy don't __breathe_____. 

9. Ever had a suitcase packed by your feet, and if so where were you going? I can't wait to read Bud's response to this, and am disappointed I'll miss Thom's opinion.  Seriously- you've had both of your arms broken?  Forgot to pay your bills or something??
 
10. Have you ever ridden in a limousine? Yes.


11. I went to bed too soon and got up to ____? Pee, seriously, one of my meds is also a diuretic and since remembering pills at 230am is just not happening, I take them with dinner.  I then can't go to sleep until the diuretic kicks in or I will be waking up.
 
12. "And this last mile I travel with you ", to where?  Well, I'll be running away from you and your foot packed suitcase!

Welcome to the April 7th (Berleen's Daddy's 76th Birthday) version of Thursday Thunks!

Bud must have really wanted to do the meme this week... he emailed me before I even had a chance to remember it was Wednesday! Way to go, Bud! Love ya...

These questions were inspired by the late George Carlin. His quotes are in bold. They were gathered from his routines. The TT questions are brought to you by Bud, the color KC's eyes and the number 3.

1. Why do they ask you to get on the plane? Shouldn't you get in it? When was your last flight? My last flight was last summer.  I definitely prefer riding in the plane as opposed to on the plane because I don't want to be out there with him: Ok I was going to post a picture from the twilight zone episode but this is funnier!

2. Why do they call two planes getting too close a near miss? Shouldn't it be a near hit? Have you ever been on a plane that was in trouble? True story, when I was in college I was flying down to my uncle's place.  My stuff was already down there, so all I had was my pocketbook, and brand new - got for my birthday parachute.  I was going skydiving with my cousins.  The lady next to me noticed the colorful bag and asked about it.  I (honestly) told her it was my parachute and she freaked out.   Ooops, my bad...

3. If a mute swears, does his mother wash his hands with soap? What have you done when your child sweared? First I must confess to having a potty mouth.  And if I'm mad it gets worse.  Now for the 19.5 years I've been working for HD,  receiving has always been my "happy place"  One time when I was really venting,  I hear a voice from the dock going - hey watch your mouth - there are teamsters back here!  That being said, I tried really hard not to curse in front of my daughter.  At least until she hit high school.  Once in the while she lets one slip and I just look at her and raise one eyebrow and she gets all apologetic and says I meant darn.

 
4. How about a restaurant for anorexics? What would you call it? The Empty Plate? When was the last time you went out to a fancy restaurant?  I think the Empty Palate would work better.  Fancy shmancy is not really my style,  And I can't actually think when I have been last.  I did go to a great place - Peddlers Pub last week.

5. Where do forest rangers go to 'get away from it all'? What to you do to get away from it all? Definitely somewhere with no picinic baskets!  I go skiing - nothing more soothing than the sounds of your skis swishing through the snow as you carve down the mountain.  And if I'm lucky enough to go powder skiing - you can barely hear anyone else. It is the best way to destress!

6. Why do people who know the least know it the loudest? What do you do to get a know-it-all to shut up?If someone knows the answer to this I want to here it!   I have a very sarcastic streak, don't care what people I don't like think of me, and am very good at on the fly sarcastic one line put downs.  It doesn't win me friends, but the stoopid usually go away.

7. If a man speaks in the forest and there is no woman to hear him, is he still wrong? Men: does your woman (or most recent) think that you are always wrong? Women: Do you believe that men are always wrong?Did you not read my answer to #6?  BUD,  I expect more from you!  Actually, since the majority of my really good friends and my bff ( mikey comes home in 22 days yay!) are boys, I am obliged to say that not everything that comes out of a boys mouth is wrong.  And that if you get an infinite number of monkeys and an infinite number of typewriters and an infinite amount of time eventually one of the monkeys will produce a Shakespeare play, that correlates to if you take an infinite number of men and an infinite number of talking, eventually one is bound to say something right.  Me - I have better things to do!

8. If a turtle loses his shell, is it naked or homeless? Tell us about a time when you were caught naked.  I forgot my brother and his friend were crashing in my LR, and I woke up a bit late for work and ran to the kitchen to start the coffee.  The light woke them.

9. Would a fly that loses it wings be called a walk? How badly do flies annoy you? First flies are bugs.  Bugs bug me.  Flies like walking on poo and garbage an then on your plate.  I seriously need a pet chameleon on other lizardy things to eat bugs.  I used to have a cat whose personal ( felinal?) mission was to rid the world of bugs.  Alas he died before he could finish.  Now as long as he wasn't in his fly makeup - Jeff Goldblum can come play any day!

10. Why do they report power outages on TV? When was the last time that you went without power? Knock on a wooden utility pole - the longest I've been w/o power was 4 or 5 years ago when lightning hit the transformer Right in front of my LR window but it was fixed in about 6 hours.  I remember there was a  huge east coast blackout several summers ago.  I had power and watched people trying to get out of NYC on tv in my air conditioned LR. (They never zoomed in enough for me to find my sister in law though)

11. If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat? Have you ever been or considered to be a vegetarian?
            People
                    Eating
                      Tasty
                        Animals
MMMM steak!   

12. If the cops arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent? Tell us about a time when either you were arrested or came close.  Bad as I have been, never been close to getting caught by a cop, except maybe when I used to be into cops and would go out trying to pick them up....

13. Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food? Have you ever owned a cat?  I love cats.   The only reason I never got another after my last one passed is because with all the travel we did for my daughter's dance competitions it wasn't fair to have one and never be home.  I keep telling her now that she's gonig off to college, I'm getting a cat to live in her room so I won't be lonely.  At one point when I was in high school I had 5 cats. 

I

If there had been mouse flavored cat food , I probably would have bought it for them!

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Kimber, the color of cooked crab, and the number 544.

1. It's the first of April, do you play April Fool's jokes on anyone?If I told you that and then the hypothetical person read my blog they would hypothetically be forewarned wouldn't they?

2. Do you like to eat sardines?Fish in cans = cat food.  I am not a cat. before anyone tries to get technical with me - I get my tuna either A. at a sushi place or B. in a pouch!
3. Have you ever played racketball? My brother plays racQUETball.  He's gotten hurt. Seriously that rubber ball packs a whallop.  Me - the only ball I hit with a racquet is a tennis ball.
4. If eating at a fast food joint that has a dollar menu, do you order a bunch of different dollar items or just go ahead and get a regular meal? I don't really do fast food.  I will if traveling mostly, get the spicy chicken go wrap from Wendy's, Had something last fall from Burger King, had a roast beef from Arby's a few weeks ago.  I don't do fast food fries.  Seriously, when I was working out about 15 years ago there was a thing showing how much oil a large order of fries absorbed. And it was like an ice tea glass of dirty grease. Yuck.  Haven't done fries since.
5. Have you ever taken a brand new pencil and sharpened it in an electric sharper until it was almost gone just because you were bored?Yes.
6. Do you have any old broken computers still sitting around your home?2, but in his defense - Curt is the Network Mgr at work and is attempting to salvage info off of them.
7. Ricky Martin came out this week stating he is gay. Were you shocked, had a feeling, "who?" or just didn't care?DUH!!
8. If marijuana is legalized, do you think it should have a luxury tax added onto it?I'm just very against it.  A friend of mine was killed by someone who was stoned out of his mind and driving home.  So if they tax cigarettes and beer they better tax the hell out of pot.  ANd put in serious DWS(toned?) penalties.
9. What's the oddest thing you have sitting on your computer desk right now or where ever it is you may be sitting with a laptop (you could be sitting at a Starbucks with an alien from Mars for all we know)?A voodoo doll.
10. Have you ever bumped into a former lover and found out they were now gay or straight depending on your relationship with them?Once I dump a guy, I either remained friends or really haven't seen them again.  I could understand ruining them for all other women, but I have faith that they managed to power through.  PS - I do not believe you can"turn" a person one way or the other.  
11. Have you ever held a tarantula?  OH HELL NO!!

12. Shower- curtain, door, walk-in, or do you just roll around in the dirt to get the stink off?Shower door and curtain, however I find that the water that comes out the showerhead combined with the shower gel I squirt on a puff and clean myself with do a better job than the door or curtain.
13. Which commercial is the most annoying to you on TV or radio? I find the talking pot hole annoying,  I know there are others that annoy me more, but I have a pretty skilled talent of ignoring that which annoys me.

THursday Thunks... it's happened.

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?  Since I just got some - Thin Mints!

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?  Ok, I try not to be insulting here ( like some thunkers) but seriously, this is a bird brained question!

3. Water - tab, bottle, filtered or....??? Brewed!  into coffee, tea or beer! ( what is tab water anyway???  or is that supposed to be tap?)

4. Would you (or do you) have a stripper pole installed in your home? It's supposed to be a great workout.  That being said, Curt could probably talk me into it...  (good thing he rarely reads this!

5. Do you still have any Christmas decoration up?  Curt finally brought everything to storage - but there is still my evil santa hat hanging on the closet door!
 

6. What brand of camera do you have? Which one?  The one I use most often for blog pics is a fuji, also use a pentax and have a nikon.

7. Why do paint colors have weird names?  have you shopped for carpet lately??  I have my theory.  It involves smoking funny cig's and lots of alcohol....

8. Which toe is your favorite and which foot is it on?  I like my right foot better - but have no favorite toes.  They all got a pedi today!

9. What would you do if a celebrity sneezed in your face?  Punch them in the face.  Then if it was Tony, I'd kiss the boo  boo I just made!

10. If a stranger came to your door and asked for a glass of water, would you give it to them?  Ok, a couple things about this question.  If you paid attention to #3 I DON'T DRINK WATER! Of course Angie always has a case around.  But more importantly, If I'm not expecting anyone I seriously probably wouldn't answer the door.

11. The government has asked that you pick the newest national holiday - what is it? SLAP A STOOPID PERSON DAY!!!

12. How many toothpicks could you fit into a beer can?  Don't drink beer in cans.  Draft or Bottles for me.

13. Whats the weirdest excuse you ever gave for missing school or work...or heck, even a social function, date, whatever?  Not an excuse - a reason.  And I warned them the Friday before.  It rained on Sunday. Meant I couldn't go to work on Monday.  ( the weekend NASCAR was at Pocono last summer)

14. Can we stop now?  Please can we?

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Berleen's demon spawns (teenagers), the color of snowflakes, and the number 7200.

They are 15 and 13... that is your warning.

And thanks to Bud for reminding us that it was time.

1. Why are computer mouses called mouses?Well, I could be funny, but I actually know the answer - which is kinda funny - thanks to going to geek college.  The mouse was invented by  Stamford Research in the late 70's early 80's and the cord was not on the end with the buttons, so it looked like a tail, with the 2 buttons being ears on the front.  When Apple first brought it out standard in 84/85ish the "experts" said it was a fad that would die in a couple of years!
2. If a guy has no money and he goes into a bar does he get kicked out?Um. as a girl I really don't have the correct experience.  I know back when I was single (thinner & cuter) I never actually needed money when I went into a bar to go drinking!
3. Why does Taryn hate rat terrier puppies?Because they grow up to be rat terriers??

4. Why do polar bears not moo?Polar bears mooing??  That's too funny!

5. Why do people let doves fly at their weddings?Because in the days before catering halls (and since we know there were shot guns at weddings) guests would shoot the doves for dinner.
6. Why are no two snowflakes alike? Ok, seriously - you guys really don't want another science geek lesson do you?
7. Why do people want things that don't work? (ads in newspapers - like junk batteries wanted)I think you should pose this questions to the people that marry useless people.  I have more self-esteem than that.
8. Why do we have to wear shoes at school? My daughter's school allows flip flops. ( I'm kinda jealous because mine didn't - yes there were flip flops back then) As a matter of fact - Curt texted me last week that "my daughter" went to school in flip flops and it was 34 degrees with snow on the ground.

 9. Why do people wear socks with sandals? Two reasons.  A. it is 34 degrees and peer pressure forces you to wear flip flops to school. ( Angie 's fault - she's one of those kids that cause other kids to feel pressure I think) or B. You have a lifelong dream to be a geriatric Italian Old man??
10. Why do we always want bear hugs?because seriously, nothing is better than a big bear hug. ( Let's face it that's why I go to work every day, I get a bear hug from at least 4 or 5 people a day- takes the pressure of Curt after all) 




11. Why do dogs lick people's toes? And why do they like to lick lotion? They are tasting you.  Just in case you decide to stop feeding them , they need to figure out who in the house is tasty.  Lotion is like doggy hot sauce. It makes everything tastier.
12. Why do people get this little thing pierced - as she points to the little thing on her ear.Because, once upon a time, one of those peer pressurizing trendsetters went to get their ears pierced by someone with Parkinson's and needed to pull off having the weird piercing.
13. Why do dogs like to eat out of litterboxes? I'm just hoping your dogs only lick your toes!  Remind me never to let your dog lick me!
14. Have you ever eaten a sandwhich that had really weird things in it?This is a rated PG blog.
15. Why isn't snow purple?Because then guys couldn't write their names in it. And snowmen would look really weird.
16. When the earth was made why was the sky made blue? Seriously Berleen - may want to look into the quality of science education in your local school system.  I don't think the people who read my blog want a lesson in light refraction do you?
17. Why do cats like laser lights?because cat's are like your average knitter.  And have ADHoohhh shiny....

 
18. When someone invented Santa Clause, why did they make him fat?Dudes seriously?  Like 2 billion plates of cookies?  And I'll bet most of those glasses have whole milk.  No amount of dieting is going to burn those off in 364 days.  Santa has to have some kind of awesome cardiologist elf!
 
19. What do you think Santa does when he's not making toys? Gets lectures on cookie consumption by the cardiologist elf?  And works out with his personal trainer elf.

 
20. Why is it that suddenly I don't care anymore? teenagers get bored quickly
21. Why are the healthiest things for you most expensive? If you really look at the cost of healthcare in the US - it's really a pay now or pay later scenario, and really ... it's cheaper to pay now.

I did warn you....

Thunk

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Berleen, the color of blood, and the number negative 18.

1. Kimber is freaking out because I didn't get the TT done yesterday. I had a busy day. Will you ever forgive me?I'll let it go this one time, but only because the Duals at Daytona is today, and that means the Daytona500 is Sunday. WOOT!  Let the Redneck High Holy Days begin!!

2. So this weekend is Valentine's Day. When you think of yourself and this love-filled holiday, what is biggest memory?  Every Valentine's Day since Angie was little I make a pink dessert on a pink plate for her after school snack.  This year she will be with my mom and brother in Los Angeles.  :'(  sniff.   Oh, right I'll have my husband to myself ;P

3. Pajama pants. Who knew it could have so many fricken opinions. (Seriously... if you don't believe me) Would you... do you... could you wear PJ pants to a store?  My daughter wears her flannel pj pants everywear.  For me to even wear flannel pj pants, they better have a Tony Stewart logo on them- in which case I'll wear them anywhere!

4. I'm gonna give you one of those big heart candy boxes on Sunday. Are you an expert at chocolate candies and already know whats inside them all or will you just take whichever one and enjoy it no matter what is inside or are you one of those people who sticks their finger in the bottom of the candy to see what the filling is then puts it back if you don't like it?  Chocolate??  A piece of chocolate you don't like?  What mean's this??  I am confused by this question.

5. Scented Candles - whats your favorite?  Vanilla, Ocean Breeze, sugar cookie.

6. Snow sucks. We've mostly all been hit. What kind of snow shovel do you have? (The rest of you who live in sunny no-snow places... tell me your favorite sunscreen brand) Shovel... it's red with a wood handle.  Curt does the shoveling, I mean what is the point of being married if you have to shovel??  I have a blue folding shovel in my trunk, in case a plow plows me in.  But no, I really don't shovel.

7. The first thing I thought of this morning when I woke up was "Oh crap. Kimber's gonna be pissed...." then I had a whole bunch of good ideas for questions to ask. Now I can't remember them. Do you keep a notebook next to your bed for times like that?I have thought about keeping a pad - I have some very weird dreams, but can never remember them 15 minutes after I wake up.  Unless I wake Curt up and tell him right when I get up.  But then he gets mad - maybe because I wake up at 230am?

8. Have you ever seen a groundhog in real, you can touch it and it will bite you, life?Yes, I see them scurrying about.  I have never attempted to get close enough to touch it.  So how would I know if it would bite me?  Seriously though, groundhogs are rodents, and like rats and mice , I don't get involved with rodents.

9. Is there any key on your keyboard that is starting to wear off? Which one is it?At home, it's relatively new so -no.  At work my F6 is worn off, because I use it an awful lot.

10. Do you think Kimber should move to Minnesota and take long walks in the snow with Berleen? Well, it does beat making Berleen move to the godawful desert.  Snow is fun and wonderful, deserts have scorpions and other creepy things.

You Are a Blizzard

You are both dangerous but beautiful. People both welcome you and fear you. You can cause a lot of trouble and even destruction. Some would argue that you're worth it though! You tend to overtake people and change everything. You aren't subtle, but you are sometimes hard to see through. There is a quiet and stillness that you sometimes bring. Some find you to be quite peaceful.

What Kind of Storm Are You?

We're Not Laughing At You, We're Laughing With You

Welcome to the February 4th version of Thursday Thunks!

Where we make you think a little bit before you blog!

We pick a subject, and your job is to interpret it anyway you want. Write about it on your blog... simple as that. Maybe you can interpret it as a picture - we don't care!

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?To be honest, I am usually greeted in this manner - is it my fault people find me funny and amusing?

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?  Find it an keep it warm??  eggs go in the refrigerator.  and then in a skillet!  I guess I'd name it benedict - as in eggs benedict!

3. Which superhero would you want to be related to and why? I'm really more the super villain type!  But if I had to pick I would have to say..  

 

Supergrover!

 

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?  Ok, 2 very important details are missing here.  1st - how drunk am I?  2nd - How good looking is he?  How am I supposed to answer the question with these details left out?  Oh - and it is a guy right??

5. Entering a CLASS A piano bar, you're encouraged to sing atop the grand instrument...you grab the microphone and sing.....  Unless the bar has really, really good insurance, they would definitely not want me singing in their bar.  They'd have to buy all new glasses - not to mention clean up the mess, with all the spillage

6. If you were a character in a Dr. Seuss book/movie, who would you be and why?

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?

Well, since my 5 knee surgeries, I've had to take it easy on the ski slopes - don't care what the dr's said never actually stopped, just cruise now though.  So we'd have to move to ice if you want me to play.  I suppose Ice Hockey- but how much good would I do the team in the penalty box?

 

8. Did the audience from the piano bar in question #5 applaud when you were done with your song? They were too busy dousing the alcohol stains with club soda.

Questions 4 & 5 were contributed by Hootin' Anni. Thanks Anni! If you would like to submit your own TT questions, email us at thursdaythunks@gmail.com

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Berleen, the color white chocolate caramel and the number 0.

Did you miss me?  OF COURSE!  I had to think of things to blog about without your insane questions!

1. Pants on the Ground....  Means I'm not going back out this evening!

2. To compliment Kimber's question from last week.... have you ever fell down the stairs? YES - but despite a minor in math in college I can't count high enough to tell you how many times.  Suffice it to say, I grew up in a really old ( before the Civil War) house with narrow stairs that weren't all the same size!

3. Have you ever written to a company about their product? Ever called them?  Absolutely!!  And e-mail makes it easier.  While it's been awhile I think my most recent was bitching at GM because I loved the Aura but it didn't come in stick shift.  They did answer to tell me that their target audience didn't drive a stick shift.  So I guess they didn't want me :(  but now Saturn is out of business - guess they had the wrong target audience!
4. Your dog/cat/snake/iguana/pet skunk (or just fill in your pet's species) goes to the vet. Ok, you take them to the vet... most pets wouldn't go on their own. The vet tells you that your species has cancer. Do you:

• a. tell them to pull out the needle and put them to sleep on the spot
• b. take them home and let them live out their life until the end
• c. same as b. except you don't let them get to the suffering stage
• d. go full steam ahead with cancer treatments
• e.  both c & d
  

5. What is your favorite comfort food?  SUSHI  well I am 1/2 Japanese after all!

6. If your child was put in jail for putting a gun in their spouses mouth and pulling the trigger (even though the gun wasn't loaded), strangling them and breaking their arm... would you post bail for them?

Of course!  So I could bring them home, put a gun in their mouth, pull the trigger - may or may not be loaded , strangle them and then break both their arms!

7. If elephants had wings, how many feathers do you think they would have on each wing? I don't think they'd have feathers - would be more like a plane's wing!

8. Is there anything growing in your refrigerator right now?  Just cleaned it out last weekend - so no!

9. What did you do with your Thursdays while we were on a break? Was forced by a lack of originality to post the answers to Thom's quizes!

10. Would you donate to the Kimber Ark Building Fund and donate wood? She is about to float away after all... If she promised not to go away again!

11. If I were to send you a letter and I wanted to put a little heart sticker on the back of the envelope, what color sticker would you like it to be? BLACK!

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by

Kimber, the color of a clear blue sky and the number 1142010.

1. Build It Yourself Coffin Kits. Creepy, interesting, cost effective, your new hobby?

They are making coffins out of recycled cardboard and new British wool.  Maybe I can knit my own coffin soon?

2. Can you blow up a balloon under water?That would depend on how hard you could blow.  They use inflatable balloons when raising stuff from the bottom of the ocean - of course they have air pumps for that.  Can you tell I watch too much History/Science/Discovery channel?

3. Why do you think when naming citrus fruit they simply named an orange the color it is? Picture it - Garden of Eden.  Adam and Eve have to name EVERYTHING, and they're naked.  THey obviously were running out of ideas and wanted to get finished so they could get on with naked stuff.

4. Insanity Cafe's topic of the day on Tuesday was this article. Have you ever known someone to do something embarrassingly stupid like that? I know several people, who would not surprise me in the least if they did something like that.  However, most people would know that if I ever found out they were that dumb, they would have to join the witness protection program to escape the mocking.  So, it might explain the people that just "disappear" out of my life!

5. If you got stranded high on a mountain in the snow, how many snowmen would you make? Would you name them and talk to them?

Minions!  I would create a snowman army, and take over the world... until spring thaw that is!

6. Have you ever tripped and fell while walking up the stairs? Semi-regularly!

7. If you were to make your own currency what would it look like, what would you call it and would you give some to your fellow Thursday Thunkers?Roman coins, with pictures of guys I've had crushes on.  So Viggo Mortensen would be a 10, Tony Stewart would be a 20, Joe Montana would be the 5....  Sure coinage for all!

8. Have you ever made a Mr. Potato Head from a real potato? Made my brother into a Mr Potato head one Halloween - does that count?

crazy questions brought to you by

Kimber, the color of a clown fish and the number 10595.

1. If you won a brand new house in a Dream House Giveaway would you move into it, sell it to pay the taxes and make a profit, rent it out or give it to a family member/friend who might need it?It would depend on where it was, if it was around here, or NC I'd keep it.  Anywhere else I'd sell and buy something around here or NC.

2. Are you good at billards?An ex spent a ton of time trying to teach me ( after we broke up and he was trying to get me back - but it was past the 90 days!)  and basically a huge FAIL.  I still suck.

3. Does anyone on the planet really want to see Levi Johnston naked in Playgirl (other than when Bristol Palin did)? I don't really want to see Levi Johnston period.

4. Is your phone ringing right now? Why aRE YOU CALLING ME?  If so you must have dialed the wrong number?

5. Do you think man has eaten or tried to eat every type of animal on the face of the earth at one point or another? If not, what don't you think man has tried? I'm not sure about tarantulas... but as a displaced red-neck who got the rule of you shoot it you eat it  along with my first gun as a child, and after watching Anthony Bourdain and the chubby bald guy (can't remember his name- Andrew Zimmerman)  and what they eat on their world travels I think people have eaten everything else!

6. The new movie Avatar has been showing sneak peeks and been hyped to the max. Will you see it? Never heard of Avatar - but I can't wait for NINE.

7. If a slightly bigger fish eats a small fish, then a bigger fish immediately eats that one, then an even bigger fish immediately eats that fish and then finally a huge fish eats the one that just ate that fish and it gets caught by you... how many meals will you have from that one fish? I'll be back in a bit  - I got the sudden urge for sushi...

8. If you had an appointment with the doctor and all the plants in the office were dead, would you still see the doctor? Well, better than dead people in the office I think.  Actually there is only one plant in my dr's office that I can think of, but it is alive.

9. Have you ever seen the number 666 in a dream? Not a fair question as I am evil.

10. "At 20 years of age the will reigns, at 30 the wit, at 40 the judgment."~ Benjamin Franklin

So what happens at 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100? at 50 freedom (kids are gone and grown) at 60 the bladder "rains" at 70  the nap rules, at 80 you're just happy to wake up, at 90 you don't know you are awake and at 100 you just forgot to die.

11. Would you want your phone number to be (area code) 123-4567?  Better than 867-5309!

This week we will answer some

crazy questions brought to you by

Kimber & her fathead hubby Anthony, the color of chocolate and the number 2.

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 give Berleen the benefit of the doubt, and say she's not insane enough to move somewhere with scorpions and 120 degree weather.  So 
Kimber's house in MN would be bright yellow to remind her of the sun in Arizona.



2. Do you dream in black & white or color, and how do you know your brain isn't just playing games with you?
My dreams are so bizarre, and slightly psychotic enough that color or black and white are the least of my problems!

3. Does bubble gum lose it's flavor on the bedpost?

Don't chew gum.

4. We're buying Underoos. Which superhero do you pick?
 Seriously - why don't they make super villain underoos?  I've always wanted super villain underoos.  And let's face it - female super villains get much sexier cloths - and I want a cool black cat to stroke while I plot your  the rest of the worlds doom! mwahahahahaha!!



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?
If you had ever heard how hoarse I am some Monday mornings at work, you wouldn't even be asking me that question.  Silly you!  Of Course they can hear me.  They hear every word I say.  The problem is they don't always listen to me!  They would win a whole lot more if they would only listen to me! 

6. Is the word gullible in the dictionary?
I would assume so - but you aren't tricking me into checking.

7. If you could pick any currancy to be the face on which currancy would it be?
Would I get to keep said currency?  How 'bout million dollar bills then?  But really - did you not read number 4? Soon the world will be mine and all your pathetic currency will be useless, useless I tell you! Mwahahahaha!

8. What was your imaginary friend's name as a kid, and did they ever annoy you or just us?
Reading this question makes me wonder how sad it was growing up in Arizona or Minnesota.  I had Real friends.  I didn't need imaginary ones.  And since I do have an anti-social streak - I didn't want any more!

9. Do you think it's ironic that the poop deck is in the rear of the ship?
I find it ironic that whatever they call the bathroom is not on the poop deck!

Thank you to my hubby for helping with insane questions when we are both sick, and you now know the crazy I married. No drugs, just insanity. And lots of laughter. Can't wait to read your answers.
