Today's Question(s):

No one ever knows. Up north they think it is southern. Down south they think it is northern. In California they have no idea. My mother says it is "cosmopolitan." That's a little too fru-fru for my taste.


Bonus Question:

What old TV show(s) do you wish they would release on DVD ?
"Our Miss Brooks."


Extra Credit Question:

Would you rather go for a ride in a:
Hot Air Balloon ?
Glider ?

Blimp. I've been in the other two.

Give them a kiss.

lol have you ever tried to scratch your back using the door jam ?
Yes.

1939 - Beer Barrel Polka hits #1 on the pop singles char I'm so glad I have paid attention to accordions.
1946 - 1st bikini bathing suit displayed, Paris
1959 - 1st class graduates from Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo Aim High!
1967 - Aretha Franklin's "Respect" reaches #1 "....find out what it means to me."
1970 - Ray Davies of Kinks travels round trip NY-London to change 1 word in the song "Lola," (Coca-Cola to Cherry Cola) because of BBC commercial reference ban.- la la la la Lola The Kinks were my favorite group one summer. "She's not there."

espy \ih-SPY\ , transitive verb:
To catch sight of; to perceive with the eyes; to discover, as a distant object partly concealed, or not obvious to notice; to see at a glance; to discern unexpectedly; to spy; as, to espy land; to espy a man in a crowd.

National Itch Day? Well, I see the mosquitos have been busy making sure everyone celebrates this.


Today's Question(s):

What regional accent would folks say you have ? Heinz 57--a little bit southern, a little bit New York, a little bit California beach dude, and, bizarrely, sometimes a little bit Australian (god knows where that came from....)

Bonus Question:


What old TV show(s) do you wish they would release on DVD ?

It would be fun to watch old newscasts for the same day, every year for twenty years. Some random day--I don't care about major news stories, I want to see how the reporting of daily news events changes over time.


Extra Credit Question:

Would you rather go for a ride in a:
Hot Air Balloon ?
Glider ?
Blimp ?

Hot Air Balloon, over a beautiful valley. With plenty of champagne and chocolates.


Just for Fun:

Scrambled

If someone was to say to you "give me some sugar" what would you do ?

Hand him a sugar packet. Just to be a smarty pants because I kinda hate that expression.

lol have you ever tried to scratch your back using the door jam ?

I'll never tell... (unless of course someone found that incriminating evidence of it on you-tube...)
