The Twenty-Fiver Meme

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing which originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we also have our rules. First, we always credit the blog that we stole it from and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also provide a link to the victim's post. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") We do sometimes edit the original meme, usually to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, sometimes to select that meme's best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from either this new meme or recently asked questions from a prior featured meme. Let's go!!!

Today we ripped off a blogger named Reyna Elena from the blog of Reyna Elena Dot Com. She states that she was tagged thanks to Moderately Confused Pinay. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. Take the time to comment on other player's posts. It's a great way to make new friends!

Sunday Stealing: The Twenty-Fiver Meme

Cheers to all of us thieves!

1. Tell us about something that made you laugh last night. Oh, my... we were standing outside, watching this transformer burning with District 4, and we were joking about roasting marshmallows over the fire under the transformer that was burning the dried grass on the ground. That was a lot of fun.

2. What were you doing at 8 PM last night? I was putting together the numbers for the July calls to date.

3. What were you doing 30 minutes ago? Blogging.

4. What happened to you in 2006? (Feel free to republish an old post from '06.) Good gods. That was five years ago! I began working permanently at Baltusrol, I was not yet diagnosed with DM II and I was riding on Thursday nights.

5. What was the last thing you said out loud? Damn! Why isn't this working?! (I was trying to capture the crescent Moon on camera.)

6. How many beverages did you have today? Yikes... many bottles of water...

7. What color is your hairbrush? Um... burgundy and black.

8. What was the last thing you paid for? Our ice cream yesterday.

9. Where were you last night? Out on a fire standby - watching the transform burn. We were waiting for it to go BOOM! but it never did. Rats!

10. What color is your front door? Sort of a dirty white. The original white with some layer of dirt...

11. Where do you keep your change? In a jar that reads "Ashes of Former Employees" on it. HR humour...

12. What’s the weather like today? Hot, hot, hot and... sunny. And hot.

13. What’s the best ice-cream flavor? Pistachio!

14. What excites you? This isn't that kind of blog. I can't type what I'm thinking...

15. Do you want to cut your hair? Well, it needs a cut and colour, but no, I'm actually letting it grow in.

16. Are you over the age of 35? Yes, I'm 43 - I'll be 44 in January.

17. Do you talk a lot? A fair amount. But my crew doesn't call me Motor Mouth...

18. Do you watch Franklin and Bash? I gave it a try and hated it. However, I highly recommend Suits, which airs on the same channel on Thursday nights.

19. Do you know anyone named Steven? I know several, including one Stevan.

20. Do you make up your own words? No, I have Luis and my father for that!

21. Are you a jealous person? No, not even a little. It is a wasteful emotion.

22. What does the last text message you received say? I don't receive text messages.

23. Where’s the next place you’re going to? The ocean this coming week.

24. Who’s the rudest person in your life? Um... I don't know. I don't hang out with rude people.

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
