Episode 124

1. Pluto has been demoted from planet to "dwarf planet." Are you willing to give up everything you've been taught all these years and begin referring to our solar system as having eight planets, or will you continue thinking about it having nine?

I don't see as I have a choice, really. Eight, nine, twelve...it's all good with me. I don't spend that much time thinking about astronomy (or astrology, either!). My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine...that's going to need some editing, though.

2. Where is the last store you visited? What was your last bill there?

We were at the local "grocery store" last night stocking up on snacks for the rampaging pair of 13-year-olds. It's in quotes because it's the size of a gas-station mini mart, but stocks slightly more food (but an equal amount of beer, and more liquor than a gas station usually carries). We bought potato chips, Gatorade and pretzels. I'm all about health at my house.

3. What new television show are you most looking forward to seeing this season?

I haven't heard of any that are real possibilities. I don't want to get too many more TV shows on my list. We might watch "Friday Night Lights," since the book on which it's based is about the area in which Beast played high school football.
I'm more excited about The Amazing Race, and I'm stoked (pun intended) about CSI's return and of course FOOTBALL SEASON! I was pumped about Survivo, and then they announced the ridiculous-sounding format they used this time....sigh.

4. Take the quiz: Which greek God are you? Save yourself some time and space by listing the name of the God, the description it gives you and the famous people you're like. (Don't worry about the graphical information and all the rest unless you just want to!)

Pan 66% Extroversion, 53% Intuition, 100% Emotiveness, 76% Perceptiveness

You are Pan. You're an extremely creative and fun-loving individual. You have a predisposition to acting and performing, and you enjoy it. You're very outgoing, and you are genuinely interested in other people. You probably have a pet parakeet, play an instrument, write poetry, tell jokes, love parties, have lots of friends, remember people, names and faces, paint, and have a righteous social conscious. You're very good natured, but can be naive and exploited by less good natured people. You're mischevious, but in a usually harmless way. Famous people like you: Franz Joseph Haydn, Dr. Suess, Bill Cosby, Sandra Bullock, Oscar Wilde Stay clear of: Atlas, Hermes, Icarus Seek out: Anyone else.

I'm Pan! I'm flippin' Pan. Rock! That's too cool! Totally wrong, of course, but cool.

5. Of the famous people it lists like you, which is the scariest?

Uhm, none of them are scary. We are the Kool Kids. Though I've heard that Dr. Seuss (watch that spelling!), when he was Ted, was a little cranky. huh

6. You decide to bring candy to keep on your desk. If you could only pick one kind of candy, which would it be?

Totally bringing in the Smarties.
