I've been eagerly awaiting today's QotD, and then remembered that Spinx isn't able to do them any more. I hope someone will volunteer to take them over (someone? anyone? Buehler? Buehler?), but while we're waiting, I offer this feeble attempt to fill some very big shoes.
Today's Question:
When you eat M&Ms™ (or Skittles™), do you eat them randomly, or do you separate them by color and eat them in a certain order?
If you eat them by color, which color do you eat first? Which do you eat last? Why?
Bonus Question:
Do you have a pet name for your spouse, significant other, child, etc.? Are you willing to share it with us?
Word of the Day:
Hypocoristic: haɪpəkəˈrɪstɪk, adjective meaning "endearing, as a pet name, diminutive, or euphemism".
Today in History:
1850 -- Daniel Webster gave a three-hour speech endorsing the Compromise of 1850.
1876 -- Alexander Graham Bell received a patent for the telephone.
1936 -- Adolf Hitler broke the Treaty of Versailles and the Locarno Pact when he ordered troops to march into the Rhineland.
1945 -- During World War II, U.S. troops crossed the bridge at Remagen, the first incursion into Germany by Allied forces.
1956 -- Dark's older brother and sister (fraternal twins) were born!
1965 -- Peaceful civil rights demonstrators marching from Selma, Ala., are brutally attacked with billy clubs and tear gas by police on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. The event is later called “Bloody Sunday.”
2004 -- V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire was invested as the first openly gay Episcopal Church bishop.
2005 -- John R. Bolton was nominated by President Bush to be U.S. ambassador to the UN.

When you eat M&Ms™ (or Skittles™), do you eat them randomly, or do you separate them by color and eat them in a certain order? When I eat M&Ms I usually grab/pour a handful and then do tend to pair them off so I'll have a friendly mix of two or three at a time
If you eat them by color, which color do you eat first? Which do you eat last? Why? If there'll be an odd one or two left I'm happiest when it includes an orange one

Thanks very much for stepping up to the plate, Dark! Happy Hump Day to all.
When you eat M&Ms™ (or Skittles™), do you eat them randomly, or do you separate them by color and eat them in a certain order? For M&Ms, randomly. Sort of. For Skittles, if I eat them at all, by color.
If you eat them by color, which color do you eat first? Which do you eat last? Why? For M&Ms I eat all the broken ones first. Don't care what color. I have tried to find "the other half," but that usually drives me to insanity, something I don't need any help with! For Skittles, I like each flavor on its own. Don't care what I eat first, but I save the lime for last! Yummmmmm...
Bonus Question:
Do you have a pet name for your spouse, significant other, child, etc.? Are you willing to share it with us? Not at home. Here he's usually just Hubby, although we have the same shortened form of our first names!
