Wednesday Weirdness: #22

1. Would you rather join the Ghostbusters to hunt ghosts or join the Sesame Street bunch? Why?

I would join the Ghostbusters, absolutely. Hunting ghosts sounds like fun and they made it look good! I hate kiddie stuff, so the option of joining Sesame Street isn't one. And the Ghostbusters themselves were fun.

2. What is the most you are willing to do to get out of a police officer giving you a ticket?

I once put my blue light permit in with my auto paperwork when I was pulled over in Connecticut for doing 84 on route 84 (the officer did not appreciate the irony). It worked - I got a $37 failure to wear seatbelt ticket with no points instead of a $400+ ticket with four points attached. I was quite greatful. And just for the record I was wearing my seatbelt.

3. What popular movies do you find to be overrated?

Almost all of them.

4. What is in (and/or on) your bedside table?

A small reading lamp. Usually a book or three. Sometimes my glasses are on it.

5. Have you ever had or fantasized about having sex with a boss before? Have you ever acted on that fantasy?

Yes, and absolutely not. No matter how tempting such a scenario might be, it is wrong in every possible sense.

6. If you had a personal assistant, what would you have them do?

FILING, baby! I hate filing and it piles up at the speed of light.

7. Have you ever faked static, loss of cell phone reception or anything else on the telephone line to get out of a conversation?

No, but I have held the house phone to my ear and completely faked a conversation many a time to avoid talking to the outlaw, who lives downstairs and is between me and my laundry!

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really fair that she’s up for a MasterChef win aft

A.W.A.D. - 14-Letter Words, 14-Letter Definitions

Back in 1994, when I founded Wordsmith.org on a Pi Day (March 14), I had no idea that one day we'd be celebrating its quadridecennial. Here's what the last 14 years look in numbers: So far we have sent out 3,782 unique words and 297 AWADmail compilations to 640,000 present subscribers in 200 countries, that is more than 1.6 billion pieces of email. Well, this week we're seeing all things 14. We'll feature words that are 14 letters long, and define each of them in 14 letters. acritochromacy (uh-KRIT-o-kro-muh-see) noun Color blindness. [From Greek akritos (undistinguishing) + chroma (color).] tintinnabulate (tin-ti-NAB-yuh-layt) verb intr. To ring; to tinkle. [From Latin tintinnabulum (bell), from tintinnare (to jingle).] tinctumutation (tinkt-myoo-TAY-shuhn) noun Change of colour. [From Latin tinctus (a dyeing) + mutation (changing).] Brobdingnagian (brob-ding-NAG-ee-uhn) adjective Of gigantic size. [After Brobdingnag, the fictional region where everything was enormous

An Interesting Wife Swap...

Image
I'm catching up on our Wife Swap recordings. I'm watching the epiode Burroughs/Padovan-Hickman one that aired on 17 April 2009. The one I watched just before was really quite satisfying - the families both learned a lot and seemed to really take it to heart. This one, however, is back to the familiar mold of putting families that are so totally diametrically opposite families together that they almost can't get along. This is interesting, though, because the Padovan-Hickmans have electricity but don't use it, don't flush often, go for a week without showering and then the whole family uses the same bathwater... I can see where that would be hard, especially for me in that I have very oily skin and hair and would look rather wretched after the next day. But the family themselves are very likable and fun, the father looks more like a kindly grandfather, but really is quite intelligent and pleasant. I would have trouble with the clean thing and I'd miss my iPod
