THE QUESTIONS

What are some things you were doing in your life twenty-five years ago (1998)?
I was working in downtown Washington DC and living in Maryland, took the subway and above ground train to commute, was a huge X-Files fan and that was the year the show sent some people from the show to the DC area to promote the movie and our fan group (The X-Files newsgroup) from all over the US got together, used to go to casinos in Delaware and West Virginia to play slots, traveled a lot with my job.


In your opinion, what's a song with a stupid lyric or a single line in a song that you think is stupid? Wonderful ballad "Bed of Roses" by Bon Jovi but it does have the line, "I want to be just as close as the holy ghost is..."


Last thing you bought that cost less than a dollar. It's a squeaker, a can of Arizona Ice Tea, for 99 cents.


Most people probably buy accessories to match their clothes. Have you ever done the opposite -- bought clothes to match your accessories or shoes? Used to wear what I called cheap Minnie Mouse shoes for walking on the DC streets at lunchtime or to and from the subway. They came in all kinds of colors like pink, yellow, sky blue and lime green in addition to black. I used to buy nice dresses with those colors in them to match the cheap shoes and cheap earrings.


In your opinion, what's the most boring attraction that you have ever been to and/or what's the most boring tour you have ever been on? Hands down the most boring tour I was ever on was The White House special tour when I was on my High School senior class trip. It was all about antique furniture and dishes and blah, blah, blah. Couldn't wait to get out of there. The best tours were The FBI and The Pentagon. Don't know if they continued them after September 11.


RHYMIN' TIME

Fill in the blank and make the last word of your fill-in rhyme with the underlined word. (example: I like jelly ________________.) (possible answer: because it's not smelly.) Be as funny or clever as you want to be.



1) I drove to the mall; I was too big to crawl.

2) If I had the time I'd dance with a mime.

3) Just stopped to say "Go jump in the bay!"

4) Don't be a nag you ugly old hag.

5) I'd like some pie and pastrami on rye.

THE QUESTIONS

What are some things you were doing in your life twenty-five years ago (1998)? Working 55+ hours a week as a paralegal; active in church and a few other non-profit organizations.

In your opinion, what's a song with a stupid lyric or a single line in a song that you think is stupid? From Good Morning Starshine:" Glibby gloop gloopy, Nibby Nabby Noopy, La La La Lo Lo. Sabba Sibby Sabba, Nooby abba Nabba Le Le Lo Lo. Tooby ooby walla, nooby abba nabba, Early mornin' singin' song."

Last thing you bought that cost less than a dollar. Probably a pack of gum that I bought prior to an air flight in late May. The only time I ever chew gum is when I'm on a plane when it's taking off or landing.

Most people probably buy accessories to match their clothes. Have you ever done the opposite -- bought clothes to match your accessories or shoes? I don't recall ever doing either.

In your opinion, what's the most boring attraction that you have ever been to and/or what's the most boring tour you have ever been on? Many years ago, my sister and I visited a "Wizard of Oz" museum in Chesterton, Indiana. It was a tiny building, and all it contained was a bunch of replicas from the Wizard of Oz movie; nothing original or authentic. It was the lamest thing I've ever seen!

That's all folks. Fun stuff! Thanks, LauraC!

25 minutes on a parking meter.

Attraction: Mark Twain's cabin in Sonora, California. It's just an empty shack.
Tour: Sterling Vineyards in Napa, California. The tram ride was scenic, but the tour was basically looking at giant stainless steel vats and stacks of wine barrels.
