OH MY GOSH!!! Do mine eyes decive me?! A *dramtically* a first post?
I shower at night. Actually, usually near midnight, so early morning.
How do you spell gr[a/e]y?
I spell it grey. I recently learned that was the British spelling, but whatever. I decided long ago that since there were two spellings for grey, and two uses for grey, I would use “grey” for the color, and “Gray” for the name.
How much does a skateboard cost?
I usually shower in the morning. But sometimes do it every second day, to conserve water. Other people think this is slightly gross.
I spell grey “grey”, and I thought that was the generally accepted spelling, until spell check told me otherwise. I blame it on my half of Irish kindergarten.
3-I have no idea…
4- I blame it on the fact that for the longest time I couldn’t seem to find any fantasy books by American authors. I’ve since realized that a few of the fantasy authors I like to read are American, but a good half are British.
5- you posted under ecila.
3- I have no Idea. this is a therd for asking qusten that are pollish.
2- I don’t know!
you have a won a contset for a millon dollars. you must give it to a charity. who whuld you give it to?
6- Heifer International.
wow, I just saw that for the first time. it looks tarible!
8- Mmm. Because the animals get eaten? But they aren’t in horrible factories first, which is my only problem with meat. To each his/her own.
I shower at night.
6-Any cause that would get these poor farm animals out of these torture slaughter places (sorry to mention that on this thread, really) or like for AIDS in Africa or something of the sort.
7-Whatst that?
**~**DANGER**~**
When RtH has a spare moment and gets into things like this, he can go on and on and on and on and on and on until everyone is bored out of their shoes. Do not read the following if you are likely to pass out in such circumstances.
I shower in the evening, as sleeping through the night, especially after sweating a lot, without a shower makes me feel slightly nauseated. If proper room temperature is maintained, you will more likely than not to be clean in the morning, if anyone is still even reading this post I hope that was relatively understandable. Of course, some require a shower to wake up, or are never very sweaty before bed, or are likely to sweat after going to bed, and they have just a good a reason for showering in the morning.
I don’t know about “grey/gray”. Grey seems more natural, but whenever there is no really better way everything becomes a bit gray and I don’t actually use one more than the other…
7-*Swallows big knot in throat* Please head to the vege thread to disscuss that…
RtH
YAY!!!!!!!!!!! A new thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You get to go back in time and meet someone that was famous but is now dead. Who will you meet?
12- E. Nesbit.
9- no. how bad my spelling was in my post. I love heifer. one of there farm was near were I lived and we went there once.
Yay! New thread!
Lets start off with something simple…
What’s everyone’s favorite food?
12~ Ooh, that’s a hard one. I don’t know. I’d actually really like to meet people who weren’t famous, to see how they lived. I don’t know who I’d like to know as far as famous historical people.
15~ I have a million favorite foods. Potatoes, lasagne, spagetti, anything Ethiopian, ice cream…..it goes on forever, let me tell you.
4-I sometimes shower every second day. It depends on how dirty I get though, since I go outside and get dirt all over me a lot.
I would want to meet a random Native American tribe before Europeans came here and live with them.
I have many favourite foods. Popsicles are my big one now because it’s summer.
Favourite or favorite? I use both.
I don’t really have a favorite food. the 3 best foods in the world are chocolate, cheese, and garlic.
Right now I like granola bars and fruit and cereal. But I’m especially craving water and juice, like, constantly. Who here likes pomegranate juice? It is amazing stuff.
I usually shower every night before I go to bed because I am NOT a morning person therefore I try to do as little as possible in the morning. Sometimes I lose my schedule and do it in the morning, though.
19- Mmm, pomegranate juice? I’ve never had it, but it sounds delicious.
19/20- Oh, it’s great. It’s pomegranate season now, did you know? I’d been wondering when they were in season for years, but I finally managed to catch the pomegranate episode of Good Eats on Food Network.
I like pomegranate/grapefruit juice. Or was it pomegranate/cranberry…? Cranberry/grapefruit?
I don’t like cranberry juce. Or oatmeal. Yuch.
What is everyone wearing? I’m wearing a green “kiss me I’m Irish” shirt from Gaelic Storm, and a pair of throughly broken in jeans.
What is everyone listening to? I have the iTunes on shuffle and it’s playing organ music.
Do you prefer flip-flops or shoes? I like both, but flip flops in the summer. Or bare feet, but in the woods that’s sort of hard.
23-
a. I’m wearing a pink striped shirt and a pair of jeans. Really exciting, I know. But I left all me nice clothes at the other house, dash it all.
b. The chirping budgerigars, the sound of traffic on the highway, and the hum of the fishtank.
c. Flip-flops in warm weather, otherwise shoes. I have a tan line from wearing flip-flops. It’s really funny.
I’m wearing a leotard and tights (The convertible kind, so my feet can be free. Free feet!), sweatpants, and a blue shirt. And flip-flops that are way too big for me. But I like bare feet, too.
I would be listening to Kila (A kind of Irish group, but some of it’s stuff is modernish. I don’t know…), if my mp3 player liked me. But I think it is an ally of the compy, instead. Curse you, mp3 player!
25- *faints* How can you wear something like that??????? I’m dying of heat, and you’re wearing SWEATPANTS! That isn’t fair!
Hmph.
Just kidding.
Sort of.
2- Grey. “Gray” reminds me of crayons.
6- Not familiar with the organizations, but soemthing to help with AIDS in Africa.
12- Henry David Thoreau…although he was never famous when he was alive.
15- Udon ♥ A Japanese noodle soup.
16) Ethiopian? That sounds interesting! What kinds of food do you mean?
17) Yeah same here, I spell it amoung sometimes too…and colour. No preference though.
23) -___- A blue shirt and my gym shorts because I’m sick today…ugh.
Listening: Reila by Gazette
Same here for footwear.
It’s obvious I like this sort of thing too much.
Last thing you bought?
For me, overpriced water from Downtown Disney…2.75 for a bottle of Dasani?
1- I used to shower at night, but now I shower in the morning.
2- I like grey, too. That has always perplexed me.
3- How should I know?
6- American cancer society.
12- Einstein.
15- Tacos, ice cream w/hot fudge, choklit.
17- I like favourite better, but I use favorite.
22- Mmm, I like cranberry juice…
23- Wearing a black “how do you get to carnegie hall? practice, practice” tee, grey soffe shorts, and my watch. Listening to the air conditioner. Crocs are fun.
Did you have to do summer reading for school? If yes, what was your book?
Mine was Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry…. I also read the Hobbit, that was on the list too, but I’m not using that one for whatever they want us to do. hG2G was also on the list.
Last thing you bought?
A lemon Sanpellegrino! Yum. It’s going to be sad when I go on the 100 mile diet. No more soda from Italy! D:
last thing I bought? the new suite life of zack and cody dvd.
27- how big was it? when I was there it was very big. and it was 1.50. it disney!
28) Summer reading was my AP Euro textbook…sigh T___T
30) Normal sized. And this wasn’t in Disneyland, Downtown Disney is the shopping place right outside of it.
31- so? it is still at disney. and I thought it was at orlando.
How do you spell gr[a/e]y? grey, usually
How much does a skateboard cost? Depends on how good it is. i don’t skateboard, so i don’t know specifics.
you have a won a contest for a millon dollars. you must give it to a charity. who would you give it to? Dunno, probably something related to literacy/education
You get to go back in time and meet someone that was famous but is now dead. Who will you meet? Douglas Adams. Totally. Or possibly Jefferson, if DNA’s busy.
What’s everyone’s favorite food? CHOKLIT!
Favourite or favorite? Depends on how british i’m feeling
What is everyone wearing? Jeans and a t-shirt (black)
What is everyone listening to? Nothing at the moment. The last song i listened to was Suffragette City by David Bowie, but i only listened to about a quarter of the song before i had to leave. The song before that was American Woman by The Guess Who.
Do you prefer flip-flops or shoes? flip-flops (or bare feet :D)
Last thing you bought? a gatorade (blue)
Did you have to do summer reading for school? If yes, what was your book? On Writing by Stephen King and Manhunt: The 12-Day Search For Lincoln’s Killer by somebody i forget for AP lang/comp, The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama for AP gov, Grendel by John somebody for brit lit.
as for showering (i don’t see the original q but lots of ppl have answered it) i shower in the morning, and then if i feel stinky (like after band camp or something) i might shower again later.
Olando Bloom or Johnny Depp?
34- What about them?
34: I don’t get the q, but eww, neither whatever it is. (I hope I don’t regret that!)
27- pants that are neither navy or black. there’s sort of a very dark eggplant.
34- neither, but orlando bloom.
34~ BOTH!!!!!!! *swoons* Okay, sorry…..
I don’t even remember what the last thing I bought was. I’m such a miser, I hate parting with my money…..
I can’t think of any other questions at the moment.
Gr[a/e]y spelling: Grey, for two reasons. One, it looks more natural, and b) Grey’s Anatomy is my favorite TV program.
Million-dollar charity: One that is effectively combatting the Darfur situation. If there is one…
Meeting a historic figure: Most likely Mary McCleod Bethune. I think she and I would get along famously. Seems like a very open-minded, dedicated person, not to mention politically informed.
Favorite food: French Onion Soup. Yumyum!
Current outfit: Some blue jeans, a really awesome cream shirt with a butterfly sketch on it. It has poofy short sleeves, and is really tight until the top of the chest. Then it’s all nice and flowy.
Current background music: The Wicked soundtrack. Best musical EVA!
Last thing purchased: An enlarged copy of a map from the InstyPrints shop.
Showering: Whenever the flies start dropping.
Books being read: Terrier by Tamora Pierce, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of The West by Gregory Maguire, and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.
Bloom of Depp: Well, Depp is an infintely superior actor, but Bloom is insanely attractive.
Question: Would you rather be the best-looking or the most talented athlete? (it’s a choice between those two; I don’t wanna hear anything about intelligence, because that one always wins out.)
By my question Orlando Bloom or Johnny Depp, which one would you pick?
38-I know……*drools* The word studmuffin comes to mind, that word makes me crack up!!!
40- Well, I agree with Momo. Neither.
39- Most talented athlete. I don’t really consider my face at all, unless it’s to grimace and think, “God, I need to do some complexion care pretty soon.” And then completely forget.
39- Hmm. I wish I was more athletic, and I don’t think I’m *that* ugly. So athletic. That would make my life easier. Because my schedule is weird, I have gym every day for the first half of the year, in two different classes (groups of people, a day and b day). So I miss the track unit, but I get twice as much handball, which is what almost got me off the honor roll last year. (Pathetic, isn’t it, that GYM is the only class that has a slight chance of keeping me off? Everything else was in the 90s. Sheesh.)
Sorry for the long rant.
23) a.Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I’m in my orange P-J’s.
b. I’m listening to Itunes shuffle too. In case you’re wondering what’s playing right now, I’m listening to “Have a Nice Day”, sug by Melindda Doolittle.
c. I always llike sandals over regular shoes because it makes me feel more free. Of course, being bare footed is always better.
27) The last thing I bought was milk in the school lunchroom.
28) No I didn’t, but I read tons anyway becuase I LOVE reading!
34) Jonny Depp. He is a very good actor. He acts so much better then Orlando Bloom! Jonny Depp’s acting is amazing, it’s like he can become anything when he acts. As for looks……. Uh, I don’t care.
39) Hmmmmmm. I don’t care. I’m not an athlete and I probubly never will be because I stink at athletics. But, if I had to be one of those, I would choose the best athlete.
New Question! For the rest of your life, you have to dress up like an insect. What kind of insect will you dress up as?
Oh nevermind…
grey. but I really don’t care. I tend to spell things the way that is acceptable in the group I’m hanging out with.
million dollar charity? Err umm. Somebody who won’t call me back asking for more money.
Meeting a historic figure: Robert Heinlein
Last thing a purchased: At a tag sale or at a real store? A small draw set for $1 at a tag sale and a pair of shoes a month or so ago for school at some store whose name I can’t remember
I tend to shower in the evening and promptly after a day of 30 miles or more on my bike or when I get home from marching.
I’m reading Son of the Revolution, Colors of the Mountain, They Cage the Animals at Night, Of Nightingales That Weep (all for school). Infinite Possibilities, Snow Crash and some more that I think I’ve finished.
Outfit: Cargo pants and a bagg t-shirt
Music: None. I do have a mp3 player but I don’t like to use it when I’m working.
best athlete
walking stick insect
Okay,
I have no specific pattern for showering.
I spell grey either way, but it’s still fun to spell it grÃ¥y. (Check out the A.)
Ha, that rhymed.
$1,000,000 to any charity that makes a difference.
I would meet Johannes Gutenburg.
Cheese ravioli with extra tomato sauce.
Favorite.
I’m wearing my soccer uniform. Big tournament this morning.
I’m listening to the keys of the keyboard and the assorted automobiles, motorbikes, and airplanes going by, bugs outside, rustling leaves, my humming, and the pool filter.
Will post more later.
43- Ant! (run!)
Gr[a/e]y spelling: Grey. I don’t know why, I just do.
Million-dollar charity: I dunno, AIDS?
Meeting a historic figure: Ohh, toughie. Charlemagne, probably.
Favorite food: Pesto Pasta. *licks lips* YUMMY. I had some delightful stuff at a place called GG’s Cafe.
Current outfit: Short blue jeans with a yellow wash, a black belt with metal rings around it, and a black shirt with my karate’s logo and name on it. No shoes.
Current background music: *blushes* I wasn’t really paying attention until now, but it’s Walk Away by Kelly Clarkson. I hate this song. *changes it* Now it’s 2 Step by Unk. Yay me.
Flip-Flops or Shoes: I dunno, I like both.
Summer Reading: Kind of, I have a book report on Flush by Carl Hassien.
Last thing purchased: A Jacobs Ladder at some gift shop.
Showering: When I stink. (AKA every day). lol
Books being read: Flush and HP7.
Bloom or Depp: What about them? Depp is a good actor.
Best-looking or talented athlete: Best-looking, I guess.
Insect Dress Up: *laughes* I dunno, a carpenter ant?
New Question!!! How many Emo people do you know? How many Preppy people do you know? How many Geeks do you know? Which would you prefer to be?
Wow. I know so many…….. Everyone in my whole school falls into one of those categories. I’m a geek.
I think that I would dress up as a mantis because………mantis’ re COOL!
2–I love this question. I spell it grey when I want it to be mysterious or sad (“she looked across the grey, churning sea, thinking of her life past and present…”) but I spell it gray when I want it to be open or obvious (He had a pair of gray socks). I know that there was an article or Factoid about this, but for me, different letters have different feelings. The e in grey is longer and flatter and feels silvery. The a in gray sounds happier and more open.
Well that was long.
47–I would love to be preppy but unfortunately you have to be BORN that way, and I certainly was not. I like to dress elegantly…what style is that?
I would dress up as a Cicada and make screaming noises and run into everyone. *shiver* i hate those things, but I could freak people out!!!
49) It’s the elegantness style.
What is everyone’s favorite type of cheese?
I’d be a dragonfly. Some of them are absolutely gorgeous, if they’re one of the jewel-toned specimens and have nice wings. Plus, dragonflies don’t sting people and make then die from swelling of the goiter.
I am a geek. All the preps at my school are Class-A DIRPs, and while I am quite cynical, I’m not emo. I was born a geek, and always will be a geek. Life’s more interesting if you can make it work for you.
51: Farmer’s Cheese!!! w00t!
47- I don’t know how many of each stereotype, but of those, I’d rather be geeky. and maybe slightly preppy. I’m sort of not anything though.
49- Well, yeah, you kind of do. for me, I went to private elementary school, which is preppy, and I never really fit in… then I transferred to public for middle school so I could go to music school on saturdays. (because we couldn’t afford music school and private school, the tuition would be ridiculous.) and most preppy people don’t do music as seriously as I do…
51- Parmesan, swiss, muenster…
I prefer to shower in the morning because my hair dries in a better shape than when i shower at night.
12- Charles M. Schultz the guy who did peanuts. becasue i can’t think of anyone else, and he sounds nice.
15- sushi and other japanese food. it is soooooooooo good. fresh doughnuts are deliciouse…all hot and tasty.
23- I’m wearing a brown t-shirt from smart set that i got yesterday. and long turquise billabong shorts that I stole from my friend. I don’t wear socks in the summer.
I’m not listning to anything rightnow, but if I was it would probably be Kupek.
I like shoes. flipflops don’t work with my feet.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE OUTFIT? mine is a nice fitting brown t-shirt, my shorts that go down to my knees and rool up with my MARVEL belt.
55~ My favorite outfit? Get ready. My green striped petticoat under the orange wool one, my brown socks, and blue shortgown. The one that fits just right and my dark blue apron. With, of corse, my buckled shoes, but if it’s raining or muddy I’ll wear the wodden clogs. This is, of corse over my shift and jumps, and my blue flowered modesty scarf. *laughs at the astonished looks on everyone’s faces*
Okay, I used some words there that aren’t used every day. Here we go again. I was descirbing my favorite clothes for the 18th century. The petticoats are, skirts. Brown socks, pretty self explaintory, come up to my knees. Shortgown: A sort of jacket like thing that goes over everything, tied in place by the apron. Shift, a nightgown type thing you wear as combo shirt and underwear. Jumps; looks like a vest, has “boning”, flexable ribs in it to keep it’s shape. 18th century bra. [Sorry guys] And I forgot to mention that I wear a cap and straw hat with this all. It’s quiet a getup. I look like a tank once I’m properly dressed! I love it though!!
As far as modern clothes go, I like to wear a white shirt that has a cartoon figure on it, my grey/green pants (see Kokon pics) and my blue flip flops. Even though they stink to high heaven.
55- I don’t know… I love my mom’s old red polo shirt, with thin navy stripes. She wore it in college…
What is everyone doing besides MBing? I’m grinding wheat, so, I’m covered in flour. I’m also looking up a few other living history websites.
Paying bills. It’s an adult thing.
Remind me some time to tell you about the summer I spent in the year 1876, driving mules on the C&O Canal as a seasonal ranger for the National Park Service.
Hmmm.
I’m wearing a grey shirt with a purple logo from the school in Philly my aunt teaches at. I’m also wearing black shorts.
My favorite outfit for looking flamablamablous is my airwalks (like converse), orange and black striped tights (they are vertical striped unlike most tights/socks), black skirt, Hard Rock Cafe Beijing shirt, black jacket with 2 rows of buttons, and orange and white lace parasol.
Unfortunately that outfit requires a greater amount of effort than I like to put into how I look, so my favorite outfit for when I’m not going to a crazy place is jeans and a T-shirt with airwalks.
The things I am doing other than MBing is more MBing.
55- I don’t know what my favorite outfit is. Something that I haven’t worn before. (Not all new, just a new combination.) I quite like what I wearing right now, which is a pair of brown plaid capris that come down right past the knees, a white shirt with brown stenciled letters saying “Let’s get out of here” and a red embroidered hummingbird, and olive green socks.
I like describing my outfit. Clothes are fun.
56- LUCKY. You have everything I want, Fiddler. Historic clothes, a job on a tallship…
58- Nothing at all.
58- Today I have to finish my summer reading notes/summary, practice violin, do a vocab unit, and pack my backpack for school.
59~ I’m reminding you. So, what was that? Another adventure, I presume?!
61~ Yes, I get to dress up in historical clothes, from the 17th and 18th centuries, and I get to work on 3 17th century ships. However, I don’t get to sail. I’ve only been aloft once, and I still have a lot of training to do before they let me go out. *waits impatiently to complete training* I’m really lucky, I know. And I get to play music and actually get paid for it at the end of this month! [/randomness]
Look around, you could probably find some stuff to do with sailing on the westcoast, my cousin has been doing a lot of ship related stuff in Bellingham and San Fransisco.
63- Aggggggggh. I am green with envy.
56- that sounds awesome… i gotta get me some clothes like that. and which cartoon figure?
58- generaly i read webcomics while the blog is loading.
Right now, besides MBing, I am going to get inbed because it is beginning to get late, 9:30ish. Latley, I have been doing homework, reading a novel, and arguing with my sister over who will get the next issue of Muse first.
Question: You have to do something with a snake would you rather………….
A) dance with a snake
B) go out to a fancy restaurante with a snake
C) play parcheesi with a snake
D) draw caricatures of a snake
E) knit sweatures with a snake
F) go horseback riding with a snake
G) watch T.V with a snake
H) have staring a contest with a snake
66- C)
I think B because it would be very funny watching a snake trying to eat food at one of our restaurantes. *imagines a snake eating a cheeseburger* *imagines seeing the lump of cheeseburger in the snakes body while it’s digesting* *lol’s :lol:*
I want to play parcheesi with a snake! I’m in the mood for a board game.
65~ Actually, it’s just a person that my Mom drew when she was in high school, not a “real” cartoon. She draws little figures like that ever now and then. Scarily enough, the day before the Kokon. drew two people, one of them with pie on it’s face, with the words, “Have a Pie”.
66- B or C. Probably C. I just hope it’s a harmless snake
what is your favorite rrr?
72- The Sea Roc. There have been times when I’m ready to drop it all and throw my Keeper’s copy in the trash, and times when I could scream at someone for writing something awful, but I love it despite those things.
73- it is good but I think it is to tough to read. maybe a couple of years I can read it, but not in the state it is in.
I like dreamland.
74- Really? Hmm. Yes, there are a lot of confusing things that we fixed by making more confusing, but that’s on of the things that makes it so good.
75- I think that if I joined at the start it would not be a problem. where is tam and ren?
What do you mean “where is tam and ren?”?
76) They’re on a pirate ship. Tam in imprisoned and Ren is working as a crewman along with Niria, Arn, and the little girl that they are taking care of for the bartender spy who helped them get the position on the boat.
I didn’t start wriiting at the beginning either. It’s not that bad really. I don’t think it’s too confusing.
73) Oops! Your’re not talking about the time that I got Tam’s finger chopped off are you?
78- No worries. I have yet to be upset with you. It’s me I want to scream at, mostly.
78- thanks.
You now have to have a pet snail. What shall you call it?
81- King Alexander XXXI. His wife would be Queen Esmeralda I.
Cool name! I think I would call mine Miriam Louie Pupppypun.
81-Sir Randolf Rupert Sebastien James Bruce Xavier [insert my last name]
81- Lady Celica Rebbecca Olive Laurel Andrea Ellice Kathrine Isabel Bethany Victoria Pufflesnout.
Everyone seems to agree that snails should have long names.
I once named a box turtle Jesse Petrutchio William [lastname/lastname] It was funny to say it really fast and see the looks on people’s faces. Then they’d go, “Umm, sure, where did you come up whith that?!?!”
That would be fun indeed.
If you couldn’t have your current blog name, what name would you use?
for me it’s Captain Mokona of the Fallen.
Would I be able to use any of my alter egos?
Umm, I often think of other names I might use, but I guess I’m just going to stay Midnight Fiddler. I might call myself, The Bread Lady’s Daughter, Fern Bug the Great and Terrible: Mostly Terrible, Pippi, F. E. Pie (other nickname, nothing to do with MB, actually.) I dunno, I can’t think of them all at the moment.
Does anyone else own a jack knife? (Or a pen knife, if that’s what you call them.) If so, when did you get it?
89- I don’t know.
89- Dunno. I’ve thought about it but I don’t feel like typing the answers right now. Most of them are my alter egos anyway. Oh! I know! Hectare La Kiwi.
92- Yes, but I don’t know where it is. I got it on my eighth birthday.
I just realized how scary that might sound….I have a jackknife, and I’ve had one since I was aobut 3 or 4. I’ve cut myself 2 times, and both were whenI was being stupid. I am NOT a weird scary person who carries a knife to, I dunno, hurt people. I am a country kid who uses a knife for everyday tasks. GAPAs, if this seems like something you don’t want on MB, feel free to delete, I won’t take offence.
(95) Don’t worry, Midnight Fiddler, we’re not an airline or a courthouse and won’t take away your jackknife.
My dad always carried a pocketknife; he considered it essential equipment. I keep a little Swiss Army knife on my key chain and use another as an actual pen knife for cutting quills.
Ooh, do you do caligraphy?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. If my blog name wasn’t kiwimuncher, it would either be……..Cheeze Whizz or Fundamental Hippo.
No. I have never carried around a knife with me. I suppose that I am overly confident that I will not be jumped whilst walking down the street. Then if I ever am jumped, I will simply scream, hit, scratch (I am VERY good at digging in with my nails), and literally pull anyone’s hair out that has tried to jump me. My philosophy, if that doesn’t work, then a knife won’t do much better. As for every day tasks, I wouldn’t need a knife, unless you count sharpening pencils. Having a knife for sharpening ,pencils is actually a VERY good idea, not counting the fact that knives aren’t allowed at school for obvious reasons………
Adding on to my last comment, I just thought of a time when, going into the courthouse I set off the alarm. Mom thought I had my knife, but that was one of the rare days I didn’t, it was actually the metal rivets on my shorts. Tells you how long ago that was, I neverwear shorts anymore.
Ah, another question for everyone, do you like shorts?
I like shorts only when it’s hot outside. I will NEVER wear shorts in the winter, fall, and hardly ever in spring. Shorts are fun! The only problem with shorts now is that it’s EXTREMLY hard to find shorts that are long enough. It’s starting to get to the point that 9 out of 10 shorts are so short that they barely cover a girl’s butt, which is VERY annoying!
99- i practicly ALWAYS wear shorts. if they’re dirty i wear my 1 pair of pants. if the pants get to dirty I resort back to my shorts. I have three pairs of shorts and technicaly two pairs of pants but i don’t wear the black pair often. the reason i dont have a lot of pants/shorts is because i hate shopping. I wear one pair of shorts for about a week and then switch.
I don’t have any shorts.
100- really? I was happy that the knee length shorts had become popular and therefore easy to find. I wear those. And skirts. I wear pants in the winter
On pet snails, I shall ponder and get back to you.
103-yes I am a guy, and I seriously dislike girls wearing such short shorts. Don’t they have any dignity?
I only wear pants. EVER. Except for a few momentous occasions where I can be seen in a dress. That’s it.
I own 2 pairs of shorts. I never wear either of them, unless it’s so hot I’m going to die if I don’t, and there is NO chance of being seen by anyone. And then it’s only the long ones. I wear the shorter ones (that are longer than most people wear) under things, like heavy skirts. I’m most often found wearing long pants, jeans.
What about swimsuits? I hate them, too. *makes a horrible face*
100- wear boy shorts, that’s what i do. if you wear them with a nice fitting t-shirt they can look kinda cute.
104- i now officialy love you. i didn’t think any guys objected to that. I have so many issues with the way a lot of girls dress. although i probably shouldn’t be talking. i used to dress like a boy(still do as a matter of fact, but not as “hey is that kid a boy or a girl”) *send hug over internet)
106-i wear my tiny soccer shirts under all things such as dresses and skirts. Swim suits are okay. i hate mine. i wish i had a one piece but i have a pink halter tankeeny. *gasp! Kagy in PINK?*
I wear long pants under short skirts (the only way I wear short skirts, in fact) and occasionally under longer skirts if it goes with the outfit, but if the skirt goes past my knees I feel okay with it.
107- Swimsuits always make me awkward. I didn’t use to mind as much, but I have *cough* developed, and I hate exposing myself. (Nor is my swimsuit the most wonderful piece. It feels like it was made for someone a good deal wider and shorter than me. Luckily I don’t swim much.) I’d like one of those ones with short shorts, because they’re less exposing, but I haven’t invested in one. I used to wear shorts and a tanktop/camisole, but then I grew out of both those pieces.
107- I can imagine you in brick red, but that’s as close to pink as you get in my imagination.
108- it’s hot pink too, with floral designs.
HERE’S A QUESTION: if you were reincarnated what would you be? for me it’s either a cat or a realy hot japenese boy.
109- A cat.
Re: Swimsuits. I have a one-piece, and it’s okay, I just don’t live showing that much. I’m stuck in the 17th and 18th centuries, and only feel comfortabe when I’m wearing a ridiculous amount of hot and heavy clothing. I do love to swim though.
I don’t know what I’d like to reincarnate into. That’s a tough one, I’ll think and then get back to you.
109-I’d be a black panther, no questions asked. But if you mean what person, then I’d probably be…well, I don’t know. It’s a lot harder to predict who you’re going to be than it is to know who you’ve been.
The people on the “Magic Morning Show” (it’s a radio thing) were talking about this the other day, and they pointed out that, if it’s true that we (living beings) are essentially energy, and energy can’t be destroyed, and merely moved, than reincarnation makes perfect sense.
In that case, I was someone from a revolution of sorts. I lived through a war, and managed to make my way through it by cleverness and knowledge of fighting skills. I was probably a woman (but could’ve been otherwise), judging by my unwillingness to actually kill anyone, unless they’ve harmed me or someone close to me. If that’s the case, let ’em have it.
I’ve also been royalty in the past, or at least some kind of rich female who didn’t have to do any work, and had an abundance of shoes.
What about ya’ll?
109) A horse
Well, while we’re opn the subject of clothes, why is it that men think that it’s cool to wear shirts and pants that are 10 times bigger then their actual size?
It’s just a phase. In a few years I’m sure men will be wearing skin-tight clothes, which will look just as ridiculous.
114-Oh, Robert, please, that is NOT an image I needed to get in my head!!!
That’s how people 25 years ago would have reacted if someone had predicted tattoos and piercing. You’ll get used to it when it happens.
men in spandex is a very scary/funny thing *chuckles*
What is your secret desire?
oh, I forgot to answer that. I wish I was taller and had a nicer body on the shallow level, but on a deeper level I want to kow what comes after death, i think in knowing that it would ease my fears a bit.
117~ Ahh, but if I told you it wouldn’t be a secret, now would it?
And, yes, men in spandex is not a pretty thought. *dies* Speedos are bad enough.
Has anyone else ever wanted to join the circus? We watched a Cirque Du Soleil movie last night, and now I want to do that…..even though I’d never be brave enough.
114) That’s TERRIFYING!!
117) Secret desire? Uhhhhhhhh.,,……….. To try all the different cheese in the world.
119) No. I’ve never had that urge. I’ve always seemed content with my own rather normal life, although I do enjoy reading about people who have rather crazy lives. Actually, I have only seen the circus once in my life. Then, when I saw it, I was 5 and I only remember one thing about it. I only remember that we saw the circus that night before the circus left and we got to watch all the animals being loaded into a train from the street. The animals kwalked to the train in the middle of mthe street and the elephants pooped brown boulders all up the streets. Every time our car was forced to drive over one, our car would jump several feet min the air. It was very gross/funny.
119- Yeah, I’ve wanted to join the circus.
120) To add to my last comment, I’m also afraid of clowns. Is anyone else afraid of clowns?
122~ I am not afraid of clowns, as a matter of fact, I had a circus party when I turned 11, and I was a clown. I think we have pictures. Scary thought, that there are pitures of me dressed up like that. Proof! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
122- It depends on how creepy they are.
I know that this is random, but when I was REALLY little I was afraid to go into the bathroom at my daycare because there was a giant clown doorhanger haning up on the back of the door. That clown was TERRIFYING! *shudder*
125- that reminds me, when I was like five our friends had this huge (to me, but it probably wasn’t really that big) toy gorilla and I swear it scared the living daylights out of me.
This is a random thought, but when I was younger, there was this kid in my class who was UBSESSED with godzilla! I am serious! He was UBSESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oops! I misspelled obsessed!
wheni was little i thought a giant worm would come from the cubbords in my basement so i always ran up the stairs as fast as i could!
129) whoah. scary!
What is everyones favorite color highlighter?
130- I don’t use highlighters an awful lot.
This is for GAPAs mainly, but MBers can also answer.
If Muse split into two magazines, would you:
A: Stick with the one that kept the rights to HPBs and all the in-joke-y stuff
B: Stick with the one that kept the rights to the Muses
C: Be neutral
D: Keep on blogging.
132- B.
133: So you’d be neutral in the sense that you’d try to uphold Muserly ideals no matter what happened.
I agree with Robert!
Me too!
Hey! This is a random thought, but I heard of this really weird punishment for people who play their music too loud in their car. Somewhere, there’s this law where if anyone plays their music too loud, then they are forced to sit in a room all day with the type of music they despise being played over and over again at the same volume as they listened to their music in their car. Apparently, it works.
Question: One day, you wake up and hear a strange noise coming from the depts of your house. What would the noise be? Where would it be coming from? How would you feel about the noise? What would you do about it?
139-Umm… the noise would be the pleaks (my mother’s family monster) running back from the bathroom into the living room to hide in the closet. I would be like “LETS GO TAKE A PICZ” and then get scared and not go.
139- pots and pans crashing around as my parents talk loudly. I swear that is the most anoying thing. especialy if my room is cold.
which do you like better on yourself: long or short hair?
for me: i don’t know. short looks better but long is…. long.
141-Same. Short looks better, but long is swishier.
141) Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I’ve always worn my hair short, so I guess short.
139) The noise would be my cat yowling at one of the other neighborhood cats and trying to attack the cat through our window. The noise would be coming from downstairs because my cat despises going down stairs. She’s fine with going up stairs, just not down stairs, so she never goes up stairs, just to save herself the trouble of going down them again. I would at first feel alarmed, but then I would laugh because it’s slightly funny watching a cat attacking a window. I would sit there and watch, while laughing my head off. Then, I would get annoyed and try to stop my cat, but my she would just turn around and try to attack me, even though she is declawed and her 2 front teeth fell out because she’s so old. Then I’d pout and walk back upstairs to go back to sleep.
New Poll: What names do you think are names that belong to young people? How about old people?
139- The noise would be the phone, and I would convince myself that someone else would get it, and then after it had rung four times I would go and pick it up.
141- I like long. It’s what I’ve had all my life, and it looks fine. Plus, if you have short hair, then you half to leave it short to avoid a period where you look awful.
144- I’ll think about that one.
Young People:
Girls= Julie, Molly, Annie, Shirley, Maggy, any other name that ends in the eeeeeee sound
Boys= Jonny, Willie, Timmy, Benny, Andie, any other name that ends in the eeeeeeeeeeeeee sound
I don’t know why names that end with “y” or “ie” sound like a name for a child to me. This is not always the case, but usually it is.
Old People:
Girls= Josephine, Anne, Maryland, Margaret, Mildred, etc.
Boys= Marshall, Tom, Harold, Frank, Charles, etc.
I don’t know why I chose these names. They seem to have an old or wise feeling about them.
The noise would be a spzrkrlglr hiding in the worg. I would feel a bit scriggriblibb, but nevertheless seize a rormrot from the skilleshor and bwongle the spzrkrlglr’s spoggs until it wimbled.
I have an interesting house.
147-Oh my gosh! ReALLy!
147- Clearly. And you need to know another language to enter the aforesaid interesting house.
Let’s have the kokon at an ice cream parlor instead.
147) What?
So, in other words, if I understood this correctly, you heard a spzrkrlglr, which made you feel scriggriblibb. So, you grabbed a rormrot that had been placed in the skilleshor and headed toward the worg, where the noise was apparently coming from. You then bwongled the spzkrlglr’s spoggs until it wimbled, which made it be quiet.
Wow. That made my head hurt by must typing that.
149) I like icecream!
Question: What does Mr. Green mean?
150- He can mean any or all of these: ecstatic, hysterical, sheepish, smug, or puking your digestive system out.
151) Ahhhhhhhhh. That’s interesting………….
New question! How many apples does it take to unscrew a lightbulb?
152-I have one for you:
how many lawers does it take to change a lightbulb?
100. 1 to change the buld and 99 to fill the paper work.
Q. How many MuseBloggers does it take to change a lightbulb?
A. Thirteen:
One to bring a ladder, stand on the bottom rung, and yell, “This lightbulb is dead!”
One to make a Stupid Senseless Smiley Story about lightbulbs that turn into hot-pink bunnies.
One to insist that the blog should install a compact fluorescent bulb to reduce its carbon footprint.
One to say that that’s not necessary, because global warming is a hoax.
One to wonder whether she should ask for a new lightbulb or sit still and smile at one until it notices her.
One to post the 10,000-word opening chapter of a saga about the quest for the legendary Lightbulb of Doom.
One to arrive with a new lightbulb, climb the ladder, unscrew the old bulb, screw in the new one, descend, and leave.
One to dash up the ladder, touch the new bulb, and yell, “FIRST TOUCH!!!”
One to point out that that touch was pointless.
Three to splatter the new lightbulb with welcome pies.
And, finally, a GAPA to log in an hour later and moderate the change so the light can come on.
154- *bursts into laughter* YES!
154- It’s sort of sad, in a way, that that’s so accurate. But not very sad.
154) Heehee! Hoohoo! Haha! The was HILARIOUS!
154-ahh. it’s so true…
154- Long day?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
154-Yes! I love it! That is probably my favorie joke ever.
154-That was amazing…and so true…:lol:
154- Ahhahahahaha that’s great. Let’s all catagorize ourselves into the 13.
By the way, did you write out the steps then count the number or vise versa?
132- e. get both
154- True. So very true.

Mine’s A. I met her at a writing class. She thinks of the same random comments on obscure things that I do and is generally awesome. She reads similarily to me and likes similar things. and is amazing. I ♥ her a very very lot.
192-I thought I had a best friend (besides everyone on the blog,) but he doesn’t seem like he used to. I’m monitoring two people on Just Friends…
188-AHH I CANNOT COMPLETE very long… / But being homeschooled, I have avoided stereotypes. So if someone called me something, I would stand looking silly. But that’s good!
Red-tailed HAWK
192- It feels so presumptuous to say that someone is my “best friend” when who knows how they feel towards me? I have a few friends but none that I would yet feel comfortable labeling in that way.
192-I have two best friends. One is felicity, who is in my homeschooling group, i met her about 6 1/2 years ago…the other is lizzy, my roommate from cTY, who i just met this summer and she lives in CO But we IM every day
194-well, I could label people that, even if I’m not their best friend. In the end, does it make a difference?
165- A, C, H
How about the classic:
*clears voice*
If you were stranded on an island and could only have three things with you, what would you have? (or however it goes)
I would have
1.) A REALLY REALLY REALLY long, good book to read
2.) Laptop with internet (somehow)
3.) Dance shoes
191- I would become a zooplankton
197: Well, hummmm…this is so hard.
1. A Bible (and I’m not saying that just to make me sound like some goodie-goodie person. Seriously.)
2. My best friend
and I don’t know what the third would be.
192: Yes, obviously (said above). I love having a best friend except if another really close friend finds out, it can cause major trouble. I’ve had that a lot. Usually it’s my best friend’s other friends who find out and then they don’t like me and yadda yadda. But now that we are all older and ‘mature’ things like that don’t happen.
If you had to become a microscopic being, what would you become?
Something you don’t generally peer at through microscopes. i would imagine that would be quite awkward.
do you guys have a best friend? how did you meet him/her? what qualities make them best?
um…prolly riet or dan…met riet in choir/church/her mom taught me violin, met dan at band camp. riet’s got the same crazy sense of humor, and we obsess over the same things she’s also a muser. dan’s just generally a nice person. we hang out a lot and introduce each other to our random online stalkers friends.
If you were stranded on an island and could only have three things with you, what would you have?
Laptop (The island would have wireless internet, of course), unlimited amounts of money, and the coordinates of the island (so i could order books, movies, etc)
Oh yeah, A’s a muser.
194- yes, after I hit submit I realized I actually meant closest.
200- But the island wouldn’t have TV, therefore ordering movies would be pointless. Unless they were DVDs and you could play them on your laptop…
I forgot!
We are all familiar with two sets of nine Muses (though one’s the same). Do you have a personal muse? What is your muse like? How does your muse help you create things?
If you had to become a microscopic being, what would you become?
Good question. And one I can’t answer. I don’t know much about microscopic beings.
What is your dream donut?
*starts singing* Cream buns and donuts/and fruitcake with no nuts/so good you could go nuts–
Oh, sorry.
I don’t really care about donuts. Give me a cream puff or a fruit tart any day.
If you were stranded on an island and could only have three things with you, what would you have?
A knife
A blanket
A book of matches to use until I could get the rubbing-two-sticks-together thing down. I know, how practical of me.
New question: If you had to adapt a fairy tale–any fairy tale–into a book, what fairy tale would you choose?
I would choose either Childe Rowland or Kate Crackernuts. Probably the latter, since CR is slightly bloody. (Slightly! Ha!) But now I think of it, the best thing about fairy tales is their brevity. But oh well. The question still stands.
201- In that case, it’s definitely B. I met her during orientation in Spanish class, and then realized that she was in my Freshman Trans class, where our assigned seats happened to be right next to each other. She’s my closest friend…just because. I don’t really know why. We hang out together and we wander the halls during lunch. That’s all, really.
202-come on, if you had an unlimited supply of cash would you buy VHS? i doubt it
If you had to adapt a fairy tale–any fairy tale–into a book, what fairy tale would you choose?
Hmm, good question. My lame excuse-answer is that i wouldn’t. the book would never match the fairy tale. I might take a fairy-tale setting and create a different story from that. That would work…in that case i’d take…idk, hansel and gretel maybe?
206- It just hadn’t occurred to me that laptops could play DVDs, since mine stubbornly refuses to do anything of the sort.
203- My Muse is a shirker. She’ll go on vacation for about five months, and then when I began to despair of ever writing again, she’ll return in a glorious burst of inspiration and I’ll write two chapters in as many days. She’ll keep this up for anywhere from a week to a month, and then she’ll start to get tired of it and slowly slack off. Maybe she’ll come back, but more often or not she’ll retreat to wherever she goes during off-time and stay there for ages.
188) omg. penty. super junior. srsly afgdjga I only know them from the kpop that comes to me when I sleep and tries to strangle me but oh god. I love you.
203) my muse…changes. I’m inspired mostly in a visual sense, so if I see a certain picture, that becomes a muse, so to speak. There was one picture in particular like that, the light and texture and position of the person were all just right. And I adored his hair. Always a plus.
192) That’s a hard question. I have several very good friends, and calling any one of them “best” would be wrong because it would be impossible for me to decide.
191) I would be a ameba. They’re cool.
197) That’s hard.
I’d bring………
A) A dagger, axe, some other kind of weapon
B) The Bible, because it’s not only awesome, it’s also long with a lot of stories and I would make sure that, at the back of the Bible, an instruction manual about “how to survive in the wild all by yourself with nothing to help you” would be added in.
C) A ready made shelter with a fireplace set into the wall
192 – I think about the “best friend” thing a lot. I have many “friends.” But most of them are just people I’m nice to, and talk to, etc. There are 2 or 3, though, that stick out more than the others as being my really good friends. (One of which is philosophical.bunny, who is going to subscribe to Muse and started posting on MuseBlog). Of course, that’s only non-MB people. There are so many people on MuseBlog who would fall under a “best friend” category.
Gosh, that’s such a hard question…
If you could become a microscopic being, what wou;d you become?
I have no idea. I know very little about them, nor do I particularly care.
What is your dream donut?
Hmm, I like donuts. Either apple filled, raisin, or an eclair. I’m partial to eclairs.
If you were stranded on an island and could only bring three things with you, what would they be?
It depends on the island. If it was an inhabited island with towns and food and suchlike, I would bring my violin, money enough to sustain myself untill I could get a job and my computer, of course–how could I survive with out MB?!?!
If you had to adapt a fairy tale–any fairy tale–into a book, what fairy tale would you choose?
No idea. It seems to me that a lot of fair tails are in books. Or perhaps this question is for adapting it to be a whole novel? Anyway, I wouldn’t be able to choose.
Ok here is a question:
If I came to a kokokonvention (sorry, having a horrible spelling day) and I had on a name tag would your reaction be:
a.)oh my gosh! Its Dancergirl!
b.) who is she?
c.) oh ya, shes that one girl on the blog….right.
d.) Oh man *sigh of regret*
e.) Well, I know who she is, but I would rather talk to______(insert other MBer)
I am just curious, because I know that I know some MBers better than others, and want to meet you guys (I do of course want to meet all of you, just some post more than others). Now I will go away hoping this post doesnt sound self centered or rude in any way, becuase I am in a bad mood. Ok now that sounded bad, does everything I say sound selfish? *sulks off* By the way, please be honest!!!! Not that you wouldnt be, but I want to know what you would really do!
212-None of the above. I’d be like “Hey look! It’s another MBer!” *smiles warmly*
212) I would most likely say C. Of course, yoou could be an on-line stalker pretending to be a girl. Hmmmmmmmmm. :suspicious: lol!
212- ” oh look! there a muser with a number at the end.”
212- I would talk to you so much! XD
214-Uh, no I am a girl.
217-*incredulous* Mhm. Riiight. lol We belive you. At least SOME of us.
212-A for absolutely!
217-You don’t seem much like the stalking type…However, a certain person claiming post 213 on this thread…I don’t know! Just look at that name!
I highly doubt there are many stalkers on the blog. There are too many flying pies around here!
Red-tailed HAWK
217) I know.
219) You know what? I read that joke and it took me like a minute to get it. I’m that slow!
New Question: What is your favorite way to waste time? If you don’t waste time, then how would you waste time if you wanted to?
My favorite way to waste time is to post here of course!!! And eat chocolate.
New Question:
Me and a friend are making a list of how to annoy the Abercrombie zombies at my school. Any ideas?
Here is what we have so far.
1 take their blank paper assignment thing when being passed out and give to someone who doesnt have a paper
2 nonchalontly comment on how you hate abercromnie
3 when they are behind you, stretch and nearly wack them in the face
4 walk really slowly when they are behind you, and suddelnly stop every now and then and say something like “OMG! Did you see what she was wearing today?”
5 clog up the hallway so they cant get through and talk about stupid things like how much your new tennis shoes were like they do
FUN………………..
212: A!!!! Definitely. I would grab you and make you talk to me all about dance and all that happy stuff.
What do you mean by Abercrombie zombies?
219-Actually, I stalked a girl named Kamila for a week because her boyfriend Patrick wanted her Phone/E-mail/Cell/Address. I got all of the above information including her Homeroom and parents’ names and her previous location in New York. And her locker number. I’m good, yes I’m verrryyy good.
To be truthful, I didn’t get your post at ALL, I just thought I’d mention my skill. Beast.
221-Bahahaha….
6. Immidiatly pick them as a partner in a project or something and spend the time talking about spiders and snakes and such… hehehe
223-Kids who wear preppy clothes, mostly Abercrombie. It’s so frickin popular. I have two Abercrombie shirts. Two.
212- a. You’re cool.
It’s Hollister here, not Abercrombie, but i think I’ve seen some Abercrombie stuff . . .
I don’t think I’d do any of those things. They don’t bother me.
I’m a Hot Topic person, but as I’ve mentioned before, I no longer own Hot Topic clothes. Dang skull haters.
222 and 225-awwww, THANKS!!! I would so want to talk to you too!!!!
Abercrombie zombies are the people who wear abercrombie, hollister, and all that other stuff and think they are so cool and ‘popular’ and are snotty and think so much of themselves blah blah blah. But not to offend anyone, I know people who wear abercrombie but arent at all like that and are most certainly awesome friends.
I don’t have problems with people who wear those kinds of clothes. Most of them are nice and the few who are snotty aren’t defined by the clothes that they wear. It’s just how they are. Anyway, I wouldn’t do anything like that anyway on purpose, no matter how much that other person had been mean to me in the first place, because that would be kind of mean.
New Question: What is your favorite kind of plant?
If I came to a kokokonvention (sorry, having a horrible spelling day) and I had on a name tag would your reaction be:
a.)oh my gosh! Its Dancergirl!
b.) who is she?
c.) oh ya, shes that one girl on the blog….right.
d.) Oh man *sigh of regret*
e.) Well, I know who she is, but I would rather talk to______(insert other MBer)
A! OMGAMUSER!!!!!11!!!! would be closer to my reaction though i guess. yay musers *pies all*
New Question: What is your favorite way to waste time? If you don’t waste time, then how would you waste time if you wanted to?
answering peoples’ questions and playing tetris
New Question: What is your favorite kind of plant?
dandelion!
re: abercrombie zombies-your list sounds like basically what they do. not a spectacular way to get back at them. they may even start to regard you as one of their number. I would recommend either wearing hot topic and glaring at them at every opportunity, or bewailing loudly in front of them your lack of sufficient allowance to allow you to buy any “cool” clothes (e.g. $20 a week. i actually know people who get that, and their parents pay for everything anyway (like the fair, ipods, lunch, etc)) It’s possible that this will have no effect on them whatsoever, but it might start to make them feel a little uncomfortable, if not actually guilty.
228-Oh, well at my school they are aweful, and I dont judge people by what they wear, again I have friends who wear those clothes, but they are awesome friends. I just want to annoy them, I dont want to be mean, I would never do that. Never ever ever!!!!
I really like roses, I like Hastas, wildflowers, sunflowers tulips, dogwood trees, vines, pretty much anything really.
Favorite Way to Waste Time=MUSEBLOG!
230) OMG! I LOVE hostas! They are so AWESOME! I’m sad though, because all of the ones in my garden died because of the drought. In fact, all of my plants died during the drought.

I could do several of them. B or J, perhaps.
248-I have this huge skull-shaped, neon green cup that once held a pina colada. Yes. It pwns you all.
250) Whoah!
My favorite cup is one that used to have a tiger on it. It’s now been put into the wash so much that the tiger has worn off. But it’s still my favorite!
My faviorite cup is one that my mom let me have. It’s a small old-fasioned Coke glass. Ironicly I hate all soda (exept for flat pepsi.).
248- Once upon a time I had a cup with an elephant on it and I never let anyone else use it. I was extremely possessive of it and would throw a fit if my mom let someone else use it. But it developed a large crack and would leak whatever liquid it held all over the place, so I had to stop using it.
253) Awwwwwwwwwwww.
252-Hey! I like flat Ginger Ale and flat Orange Soda. Flat is the best.
I don’t know. I don’t really like flat sodas. They seem kind of lacking to me. Like they’re missing something. although, I’ve never tried flat Ginger Ale. Hmmmm. Maybe I should try it……….
(255, 256) My favorite is Reed’s Extra Ginger Brew. About the only time I drink it is when I have a cold, at which time it’s about the only thing that really tastes good.
I like it sort of half-way between regular and flat. Though I rarely drink soda, and never caffeinated.
248: I have a one-liter plastic purple water bottle that I got some months ago. And I am totally and obsessively attached to it. I even gave it a name which I won’t say here because it’s beyond ridiculous.
I don’t like soda much at all. I love lattes and steamers. Yuuum.

Your blog name: Beavo the Online Stalker Spy
A description of yourself: About five two, ear lobe length mad scientist like auburn hair. Dark brown eyes. Very pale skin. About fifteen messages on each hand. Wearing black and green skateboarding shoes with untied laces, semi-baggy jeans that usually drag on the ground and the overly large pockets filled with objects such as homework and rubber bands and such, complete with a black belt and little gold (but really bronze) circles around it. Either a black T-Shirt (on eville feeling days) featuring some picture on it, or a brown and white striped Polo (on bored/tired/preppy feeling days). If it’s cold, wearing a black hoddie with some random logo (I still haven’t figured out what), and usually tends to have little white MP3 ear buds sticking out of ears and into pocket. I might be wearing one of those livestrong wristbands, but only when I’m tired. Pulls out wallet (light brown with a green eagle) often and looks though it for no reason. Lazy (I copied this from Muse Fanfic).

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
268- A healthy, full-grown woodchuck(Marmota monax) can move about 35 cubic feet of dirt when digging a burrow, so it can be assumed that it could chuck an equivalent volume of wood. However, the structure of its front legs is more adapted for digging, and I’m not sure that it could actually perform the overhand throwing motion that constitutes a “chuck” with any amount of strength. On the other hand, your question does not ask “how much wood can a woodchuck chuck” but how much wood a woodchuck would chuck if it could. If that’s the case, it could probably chuck about 35 cubic feet, or roughly 3.66 cords, of wood.
Answer: If it could, a woodchuck would chuck 3.66 cords of wood.
I have way too much free time, don’t I?
Postscript to 269: Assuming that the dirt is the same density as the wood.
268-Lots and lots.
269-Yes, you do.
A quick Web search suggests that the density of dirt (120 pounds per cubic foot, or a smidgen over 1900 kilograms per cubic meter) is about three times the density of most common types of wood. In that case, M. monax probably would chuck about 3 times 3.66, or 11, cords of wood (assuming, as before, that it could).
272- Thanks. I didn’t know that. Well, thanks to our combined efforts, we know precisely how much wood a woodchuck would chuck if it could.
Indeed we do. Or, as the brilliant comic-strip Pogo once put it, “How much marm would a marmot mot if a marmot could mot marm?
*is confused and walks away quickly*
269) Awesome!
272) Awesomely Awesome!

why whould someone sell seashell by the seashore?
Desperation, I suppose.
A man once tried to sell me seashells by the seashore in Mazatlan, Mexico. I said “no, gracias” and pointed to the thousands of equally good shells littering the beach. He shrugged and walked on.
If he spent enough time beachcombing, I suppose he might have found shells prettier than I could have found on my own. In that case, it would have been realistic for him to expect to sell some, if I’d been in a buying mood. But I wasn’t.
(277) Many people believe that “she sells sea shells” was written about Mary Anning (1799-1847) who made her living collecting and selling fossils (in the coastal town of Lyme Regis), making some important discoveries in the process.
They’ll sell anything in Mexico. We were watching a Mayan wedding in Mérida this summer, and someone tried to sell us smashed bottlecaps.
Who sells seashells by the seashore, and where?
Mary Anning, in Lyme Regis.
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Approximately 11 cords.
Next tongue twister, please!
I once sold cheese behind a lemonade stand…
how many pickled peper are in a peck?
A peck is equivalent to 8 dry quarts, or 16 dry pints. Pickled peppers usually refers to chiles. So far, I have been unable to determine the exact volume of a chile pepper. Someone help me out, please?
284-*sob* STOP KNOWING SO MUCH!! *sob*
I’m amazed. Maybe I should try researching this……….

281- Hey, wait a minute. I didn’t think there were any shells in Lyme Regis! It’s a rock beach, or at least I think it was last time I went there… Maybe…
If they were fossil seashells, you’d find them inside rocks.
I could more easily see people buying fossil seashells than seashells by the seashore…
Actually, don’t lots of beach shops sell seashells? Someone must be buying them.
Maybe the beach shops collect all the shells so that there aren’t any more on the beach to find and then sell them
but don’t beach shops usually make them into necklaces and things first? so you’re not really buying just a seashell…
(291) There are beaches on the Chesapeake bay where the cliffs are full of fossil sharks’ teeth. As they erode out, you can reach down into the gravel and scoop them up by the handful.
(292) I’ll bet a lot of the seashells on sale aren’t local. A marine biologist could probably tell that many of them were imported from Southeast Asia, etc.

And it can’t be very good if you say it wrong. “Pesto Pasta”. *scoff*

I’d just like to change my answer for favrite movie, it’s now trainman which is possibly the best movie i have ever seen.
question
Does anyone in the US like the TV show Arthur? because up here if you mention “arthur” to anyone they all go “duuude! I love arthur!!!!” anyways. arthur is prety awesome.
You mean the Kids’ show with that rat/mole/mouse thing as the main character? If that’s what you’re talking about it’s pretty unpopular with middle schoolers, but second grade and down are fine with it…
320- Hey! don’t ofende Arthur!
320- and he is a anteater/ardvark.
I haven’t watched Arthur since that third grade! :smiles with the memory: I always though that DW was the coolest and that Arthur was a geek.
Oh dear. Where is everyone?
320/322- he is an aardvark! didn’t you see the episode with the spelling bee *chanks a-a-r-d-v-a-r-k*
323- they changed the voices. DW’s is terrible.
up here you meantion artur to any girl and they’ll go “arthur? OMG! i used to watch it all the time”
lol! Eek! They changed DW’s vice?! How could they?!

Wow. I just couldn’t stop listing! There are so many more!
326- z. loon
so question about pronunciation (*looks sheepish* ya see, i was reading about canadian/american pronunciation and it made me wonder) Do you say thuh apple or thee apple? Do you say offen or often? thank you i will probably have more questions coming your way.
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.
there.
327- thuh, and often.
Hmmmm. It usually depends on the context.
1. It’s usually thuh apple. However, if you are putting emphasis on the apple, then it’s thee apple. For example,
Susan has a VERY special apple.
Calvin: Hey, Susan, is that thuh apple?
Susan: No way! It’s thee apple!
Calvin: Thee apple?
Susan: Yes. THEE apple!
Calvin: Oh. I see! *mysterious nod*
2. Hmm. That’s a hard one. I like to think that I always say “often” because that’s proper English, but I most likely end up saying “offen” when I’m talking fast. I’ve never really noticed it before.
Where I’m from, the most drastic change between other English dialects is the use of “ain’t”, “yall”, and other slips of improper English such as “I ain’t got no…….”. lol Of course, the most difficult thing to get used to is the accent. Actually, it’s kind of depressing when foreign exchange students can’t understand what we’re saying, even if they’re fluent in English.
329/330- *chuckles* ah the art of american pronunciation. up here it’s considered wrong to say thuh apple. did they not teach you guys in school that you say thee before a word that starts with a vowel? think about it, thee apple sounds better. (i just realized this could sound offensive, don’t take offense, please. i don’t mean it in an offending tone) i say often but the british way is offen (that’s what they say on CBC)
330- oooho! i spy a double negative!
one of my friends friends said “you’re a idiot” instead of “you’re an idiot” this cracks me up every time because we learned this in kindergarden and picked it up before then…..
327 – 1. I say both regularly. It has nothing to do with context/placement.
2. I always say offen, though I’ve heard Americens say often.
I say thee, and I switched betwen offen and often all the time.
327 – Generally thuh, but sometimes thee
Offen. I find it odd when people say often.
I am taking a poll. ‘Tis:
If you could meet any alternative-genre band, who would it be?
I apologize if you don’t like alt rock. I make a mini magazine for alternative music, so that’s what this is for…
334) Sorry. I haven’t really heard of any big alternative bands. I’m not really a fan……….
331- your lucky. we don’t learn grammer intill 4th or 5th grade.
*whats to move to canda*
332- you’re not american? join the small club of non american MBers!
332- it does have to do with context/placement
336- oooh do come! it’s better up here
Canada is a fun place! My family went up there once on vacation. Of course, that was before the value of the U.S dollar sky dived.
How many HPBs does it take to screw a light bulb?
327-Thuh apple and often. I used to say offen but I don’t anymore. Often sounds so much more sophisticated.
334-Panic! At the Disco. Or Fall Out Boy.
Canada is truly awesome, but too cold for me. Virginia is too cold for me. I’m gonna move to Florida or something.
339-I already asked that somewhere on the SSSS and answered it with a story. Sorry, been done.

-or-
Are you implying that bunnies cannot manipulate your contemptible human invention? Pathetic biped! You shall pay for your insolence!
Run! They’re coming! Run for you li…. *silence*
344- Hehehehe! *resists zombification and runs away*
wow. i cannot believe how many people say thuh apple. up here everyone i asked said “It’s thee apple, duh! Thuh apple is sooo wrong!” so if ya wanna blend in up in the frozen north remeber: thee apple, thuh apple is so wrong. it’s like nails on a chalk board. By the way, GAPA’s do you say Thuh apple or Thee apple? i doubt that’ll be answered on this thread so i’ll ask on the new ask the GAPAs’!
I say it the way you do, Kagcomix. It sounds better to me, too. I’m not sure why; maybe I had unusually strict teachers.
The schwa is the scourge of English. I’ll have to begin removing it from my pronunciation.
348- it sounds better because iot flows. i don’t know if you’re familiar with the french language but they make up rules so that things sound better
I used to write “a” and “an” in completely random places, although when I was speaking I said them in the right places. I still have a story about an elephant that starts with “There once was a elephant who would have liked an peanut…” It still cracks me up.
(350) Oh, yes, the French are great believers in perfecting things through the systematic application of rules. It works, too. Their language is beautiful.
I still remember the day I figured out the difference between a and an. I was thinking… “Why do we say a pillow? Because an pillow doesn’t sound right. A baby. An baby. A whale. An whale. A orange. An orange.” I did this with about 20 words, and then I figured out that “an” comes before vowel sounds and “a” comes before consonant sounds. Of course, at the time I didn’t know what vowels and consonants were, so I thought “If the word has an open-ish sound at the beginning, it’s ‘an,’, but if it doesn’t… ”
It was weird.
353- but it proves your a muser!
Does anyone say Grandma pronouncing the “d”? I think that’s weird because i have never heard anyone say grandma. when i was little i didn’t think there was a d in grandmother…. then again i also thought my aunt loretta’s name was auntloretta
I pronounce the d.
356- that’s actualy pretty cool. i probably don’t because no one i know does and because i don’t pronounce many consonents. i kinda leave a few out when i speak sometimes.
I don’t, but that’s partly because whenever I either say “Grammamy” when I’m kidding around or “Grandmother” when I’m actually talking to one of the two left that I got. Or “Granny.” No M required.
I never pronounce the “d” either. Hmmm. Interesting.
355- I don’t generally, but as my speech gets stranger and more riddled with Elizabethan, Spanish, and anything else that pops into my head (this is on top of my horrible lisp and long stretches of time between hearing someone say something and replying to it (during the lapse I compose the comments in Elizabethan and Spanish)), then I tend towards more formal speech as well, and I’ve taken to calling my parents Mother and Father. And in Grandmother, I pronounce the d. I also have this strange urge to call Mother “Mum”.
360- i call my parents mother and father too and have become more formal (which serveral “friends” [people i dislike but think they are my friends] like to make fun of. ex. hahahahaha you sound like an old woman)
360-Somebody has read too many Brittish novels… *tsk tsk tsk*
Sometimes I talk formally and use synnonyms, especially around *certain* adults.
I always call my parents “Mom” and “Dad”.
I use all three. Examples:
“Mommy, can I have an iPod? Pleease?”
“Dad, I don’t care what doctorine John Quincy Adams made in 1810!”
“Mother! That is the most horrible jacket I have ever seen in my life!!!”
364) lol
Ooo! My family baked Christmas cookies yesterday! Every year we make my great-grandmother’s sugar cookies, called “Big Grandma Cookies”.
364- you always make me laugh! (in a good way)
Do you say zee or zed when presented with the letter “z”?
i say zed. but then again i am canadian. my bro says zee because he claims “it rhymes”
366- I don’t understand the question.
367) I think the question is do you say the letter z by itself as “zeee” or “zzz” or “zehd” or “zeed”?
Question: What’s the way you want to die?
Yes. Brits and Canadians (and presumably Australians, New Zealanders, and English-speaking South Africans) call it “zed.”
Ah. I say Z.
269- Really? *plans to capture Brit, Canadian, etc. and make them recite the ABCs*
372) That’s the way you want to die? You’re weird.
373- Come on, they’re not going to kill me for it. I wouldn’t kill someone just because they asked me to recite their ABCs.
366-I say “zee” out of habit, but I’m trying to switch to “zed”. Americans generally say “zee”. But hey, I can stand out, can’t I?
369-Isn’t this a bit gory? I’d honestly like to die peacefully in bed, but to make a greater impact, I think some form of suicide poison would be considerable. This would only apply if I was, say, in prison or being tortured or something.
373-*bursts out laughing* If you were honest about what you just said, you’re weird.
Then again, aren’t we all?
373- Oh! *blushes* I was responding to Robert’s comment before yours was moderated.
369- At age one hundred and five, in my sleep.
Ex, wy, zed?
Natives have kind of this accent thing. Elderly natives will say “init” instead of isn’t it, something that Morfin Gaunt said in Half-Blood Prince. Maybe he’s secretly Cherokee or something.
378- Er . . . I think that’s Cockney.
I say init sometimes.
376) Oh.
377) hee hee
I’m not sure how I want to die. I might want to die saving somebody.
I say “innit” a whole bunch. It wasn’t just Morfin Gaunt who said “innit” anyway, Harry Potter says it a couple times as well as most of the cast. Remember Bellatrix?
“Neville Longbottom, innt? How’s Mum and Dad?”
I lurve that line. She’s so EVILLE! *falls in love with Bellatrix*
I always say zee. I had no idea that anyone ever said zed. Hmmmmm, I must research this stuff!
367/368- i meant how do you pronounce the last letter of the alphabet.
369- peacefully and not alone. i am so afraid of being old and alone with no one to love.
374- someday we’ll meet and i will recite the alphabet for you.
378- everyone has some form of an accent. i like to call mine a canadian drawl although i doubt that it’s a drawl. my mother says that canada is the accentless country. i agree more or less. there’s this thing I call an american accent. you know how southern americans have accents that’s an american accent. and the way miley cirrus talks. that is such an american accent.
382- i grew up with both but ofcourse the cool way to say it is zed. i’m joking of course.
yet another one of Kagy’s dreary questions of speech. (if you don’t like them skip the stuff in bold). How do you pronounce “aunt”? do you say ant? presonaly I say awnt. i was singled out by my 3rd grade english teacher for that. she was evil. she laughed at me infront of the class because i held my pencil really tightly. she asked me what the homonym for ant was and i said aunt. pronouncing it awnt and she asked my why i said it that way as if it was totaly weird. sure, most people say ant but is it really necessary to find out why someone speaks differently? No. it’s rude. but she totaly made fun of my tight pencil holding infront of the calss which is even worse!
383- I say “ant” most of the time but when I feel dramatic I say “awnt”.
383- This is what I call an “INATMAAEP” moment. I Need A Time Machine And An Explosive Pie.
383-*Miley Cyrus
I say “awnt”. It sounds better than calling my parents’ sisters little tiny black creatures.
383- ant if it’s mine, awnt if it’s someone’s else.
387) I do the same
383) That’s horrible! She made fun of you because of the way you hold your pencil?!! That is a very mean teacher.
Greekgurl, I don’t like your teacher. I wish her a happy refirement.
How many GAPAs does it take to screw a lightbulb?
If that question was already answered, then…
How many s does it take to screw a lightbulb?
As for GAPAs:
Just one. But we’ll wait until we’re darned good and ready, and first we’ll snip out the name of the manufacturer and any identifying geographic information more specific than the state or a city with a population of at least one million.
391-
I thought you’d like that one, TMFA.
393- your the king of museblog lightbulb jokes.
I don’t think I have an accent.
Perhaps a slight Chicago one, though. I don’t know. I am good with accents though, especially British. Australian too, kind of irish but I’m still working on that.
How do you pronounce Chicago?
I say Chicahgo, which is the accent a bit. People who don’t live here say Chicawgo, I’ve noticed.
Hmmmmm. I say Shicahgo.
Hm… I think it’s time for a 2008 edition of the Polling Place.
