Sometimes, you just need a Sunday Stealing to free-associate. Bev said it’s coming back in January, but not yet. I took these from March 2018 because I don’t believe I did them before. I’ll only complete the questions I feel like answering.
1. You can flip a switch that will wipe any band or musical artist out of existence. Which one will it be?
Nope. Just because it’s not my taste, it doesn’t mean I should deprive others of an artist.
2. You seem to be having an excellent day because you just came across a hundred-dollar bill on the sidewalk. Holy crap, a hundred bucks! How are you gonna spend it.
I’m taking myself out to lunch, and then give away the rest to people who ask for money, probably $10 at a time.
3. What is your favorite curse word
@$$4013, which is my frend Karen’s fave.
5. You accidentally eat some radioactive vegetables. They were good, and what’s even cooler is that they endow you with the super-power of your choice! What’s it gonna be?
Flying. It’s always flying, about twenty meters off the ground. I’ve had dozens or maybe hundreds of dreams involving flying.
9. Give us a word that gets you excited.
Onomatopoeia
11. What word makes you smile?
It’s usually my intentional malaprops, such as refrigagator.
Another quiz
1. Do you tend to have a guilty conscious?
Oh, yes.
2. Do you still have your wisdom teeth?
None of them. They went in my 20s, emoved by a dentist who was a family friend.
3. Peanut Butter – creamy or crunchy?
Neither. I don’t like peanut butter. As I’ve likely mentioned, this has been useful. Since my daughter is allergic to peanuts, I have eaten unlabeled cookies. I can often taste the peanut butter.
4. Get up off your butt. Take 5 steps. Which leg did you start out on?
Right. My left knee is worse.
5. What color is your favorite kitchen utensil?
Black
6. Did you watch the Michael Jackson memorial/funeral?
No. But I remembered when he died.
7. Do you know anyone who graduated from high school this year? Were you invited to their graduation party? Did you go?
Probably. Probably. No.
8. White with black stripes or black with white stripes?
The latter.
9. If we were to call your 6th grade teacher, what would they say about you?
He would not say much, since Mr. Peca is deceased. But he LOVED our class.
More oblong
10. Can you draw a perfect circle?
Absolutely not. There’s an exercise my doctor’s office makes me do every year. I draw a circle, put on the clock numbers, and they give you a particular time of day to display. My circle is terrible and it’s always been thus.
13. How many light switches and electrical outlets are in the room that you are in right now?
One switch, two outlets
14. Do you know sign language?
Alas, no. I’m not great with languages
15. Do you step on cracks in the sidewalk?
Yes, usually intentionally in an attempt to lengthen my stride.
17. What is something that everyone else has, but you don’t?
A liking for coffee, beer, and peanut butter.
And another
4. What is the one meal recipe you think you’ve mastered?
6. Would you describe yourself as spiritual, religious, or something else?
I don’t get all definitional about this. I’m a Christian and attend a Presbyterian Church. That’s always a dodgy proposition because a lot of Christians make Christianity look stupid, venal, and, frankly, unchristian.
7. Did you ever receive detention in school? What sort of kid were you in school – bookworm, smart kid, troublemaker, quiet … etc.
No. Probably all of the above at different times.
8. When’s the last time you ran a mile? How often do you exercise?
Not this century. Most of my exercise is walking.
9. What would you say to your 16-year-old self, and why?
Nothing. He was pretty pigheaded so he wouldn’t lisrten to anything I had to say anyway.
11. Describe a “Hah! I told you so” moment you had recently.
I have them internally all the time but I don’t say them aloud to prove how right I was.
14. Paper or plastic? Do you prefer to pack your own groceries?
Pack my own groceries in a returnable bag. I’m generally better at it than the grocery clerks.
15. Do you have a shoe fetish? How often do you buy new shoes? Do you ever get rid of a pair of shoes no?
No. Only when necessary. When they wear out.
