Thursday Thunks

(Link in meme-roll)
...it's happened

1. What is your favorite kind of cookie?

I love my mom's oatmeal-raisin cookies, from my childhood. She lost that recipe when I was a teen. I can get by with chocolate chip cookies. But, ok, let's all say it together: Iced Sugar Cookies--duh. lol

2. If a bird's wing falls asleep, does it hurt when it tries to flap its wings or does that make it feel better?

I don't think a bird's wings could fall asleep since they are always in motion on some level or another. I've never seen a completely still bird.

3. Water - tap, bottle, filtered or....???

Mostly tap, or out of the door of the fridge (so sorta filtered), and occasionally bottled.

4. Would you (or do you) have a stripper pole installed in your home?

Hella no.

5. Do you still have any Christmas decoration up?

Our mini-tree seems to have become a fixture in the basement. There just hasn't been time to get it taken care of...or motivation.

6. What brand of camera do you have?

It's a Canon point-and-shoot thingy. Beast and I also have cameras in our phones.

7. Why do paint colors have weird names?

On a very basic level, it's to differentiate THAT green from THIS green. But yeah some of 'em are extremely weird.

8. Which toe is your favorite and which foot is it on?

I don't have a favorite, I don't think. There is one I have strong feelings against, because the nail grows funny and is harder to cut, and to polish.

9. What would you do if a celebrity sneezed in your face?

I would, absolutely, BARK in horror at him/her. I don't care how famous you are.

10. If a stranger came to your door and asked for a glass of water, would you give it to them?

Uh, sure...? I'd probably leave them on the porch while I got it though.

11. The government has asked that you pick the newest national holiday - what is it?

I Hate Winter Day on January 20. Or the next day following that the sun isn't visible. Everyone is required to sleep all day.

12. How many toothpicks could you fit into a beer can?

How bored am I? Is the can empty? I could jam 3 or 4 boxes in an empty can easily, more if I'm in a boring and/or frustrating situation.

13. What's the weirdest excuse you ever gave for missing school or work...or heck, even a social function, date, whatever?

Well, hmm. Sickness (myself or close family), fog, flooded basement, "don't feel like it", medical appointments (for myself or close family), other previous commitments, "I forgot", "I over-indulged in liquid refreshment", oversleeping, school functions, giving birth, traffic, anemia, chauffeur duties, no electricity, "I locked my keys in the car...again", snow, funerals, "The Brewers are in the World Series!!", big fight with Beast, manicure, no appropriate clothes, can't stop crying, meetings, church functions, playing hooky with friends, lack of sleep/insomnia, moving/helping others move, "I'm sure there's SOMEthing {ANYthing} else going on at that time!", haircuts, Ditch Day, "I had to work/go to class", and probably a couple more.

14. Can we stop now?

You're driving this truck....
