this and/or that

Posted on by

Jege Jen has posted this copy and pastableness, and I feel like answering.

1. Tampons or pads?
Tampons. Unless you’re wiping down a picnic table, then I change my answer to pads.

2. Whom would you most like to kill?
On any given day: The driver in the other car.

3. Would you shoot, stab, or strangle him/her? Discuss.
Those are all too good, I’d come up with a much more painful mechanism then chicken out when I saw the driver getting out of the car.

4. Favorite element?
Beryllium.

5. Top or bottom?
Oh, come on.

6. Favorite fascist dictator?
Donald Trump.

7. Wipe front-to-back or back-to-front?
It depends on what I’m wiping.

8. Burial or cremation?
Burial, at least I have a fighting chance of clawing out if I’m not really dead.

9. Paper or plastic?
Paper in theory, plastic in practice.

10. Divorce or murder?
How about just natural causes?

11. Mini-blinds or granny drapes?
Mini-blinds behind the granny drapes.

12. Do I look fat in this?
No, of course not!

13. Who’s better, the Beatles or the Stones?
I plead the 5th.

14. Don’t you hate it when people say “EYE-talian” instead of “IH-talian”?
Kinda, yah.

15. What kind of siding do you have on your house? Who gives a shit?
Vinyl. Hay cares, like a lot.

16. Favorite PMS remedy?
A coma.

17. Have you ever shot a man just to watch him die? Explain.
No. Have you?

18. What is your most shameful Home Shopping Network purchase? Is it a figurine of some sort? It is? EEEEEWWWWWWW….
I can honestly say I’ve never bought anything from HSN.

19. Stucco or EIFS?
Wait, what?

20. extra mayo or hold the mayo?
Extra.

21. What’s cooler, the quadratic equation or Avogadro’s number?
Avogadro’s number is waaaaay cooler, but less functional.

22. Tesla: heavy metal band or inventor/scientist?
I don’t want to get into this.

23. Who sent this to you, and are they so fucking dead the next time you see them?
No one sent it to me, I was reading comments on Jürgen Nation and saw eM who is one of the Lein girlz posted a comment about piercings so I moseyed on over to read the blog for the first time in many weeks.

24. The Clash: Should they stay or should they go?
They should stay!

25. The one dentist out of ten who hated Trident… man or myth?
Wo-man.

26. Nick and Jessica or Sonny and Cher?
Nick and Jess.

27. Is “Forte” (as in, piano is not my forte) pronounced “Fortay” or “Fort?” And do you really give two shits? Really? Oh. Okay then.
ForTAY. Crissakes.

28. Can you sing all the words to that song by Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam–you know the one where they mispronounce “Que Sera Sera?”
No.

29. Which “Heather” are you? “Tweety”, “Megabitch” or “Corn Nuts”? Explain.
Tweety? I’m not a Megabitch and I definitely would not be mean enough to be poisoned by a Veronica.

30. Most of your time on the computer is spent: a.) doing work, 2.) looking at porn or c.) trying out out-witty your friends and family with mockeries of email chain letters
Well, given the choices I’m gonna go with porn.

31. Do you have a trophy husband who looks like Cary Elwes? You don’t? Well Jege does. Ha ha ha.
Um. He’s my trophy but he looks nothing like Cary.

32. Were you born a poor, black child? I was.
I was born poor and a child.

33. Have YOU found YOUR “special purpose?” Cite examples.
No. Far from it.

34. Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush: Axis of Evil or Trio of Idiots?
Cheney and Rumsfeld are the Axis of Evil, Bush is the Solo of Idiot.

This week I had ample opportunity to capture a bunch of scenic shots. Since it snowed here already (but not since) our flowers have died so there aren’t more of those to show, but this time of year is absolutely beautiful, so you won’t be disappointed by the changed-up set. Also, this weekend was filled with food, so lots of shots of yumminess. One photo at the end shows the dusty wine bottles lit up beautifully. No drinking this weekend, unless we’re talking about an overdose of spring water. :) Here’s this week’s set. This week’s teaser photo is:

Beau-ti-ful.

A nice relaxing weekend of hanging out with our favorite friends, shopping, eating, talking, card playing, sleeping, reading, leaf peeping, and soft-soft-soft-soft semi-porn watching (the star-studded film Wet Hot American Summer, cuz Jerzy* made us view it for his birthday, and it was really the freakin’ tonsil hockey that made it seem porn-like, no nudity :) seems to have done the trick of fixing our blahs.

The “Happy Birthday, Jerzy!” homemade apple pie that Hay, K-Mitten*, and I made for (dur) Jerzy’s birthday:

That’s Edy’s Slow Churned™ Rich & Creamy Light Vanilla Bean ice cream à la mode. DE-lish.

Do I have the recipe for the pie? Why, yes I do!

(6-year-old child optional)

*NB: Names changed to protect the innocent. :)

A bientôt

Hay and I are going to be busy with non-computer duties until Sunday night. I’ll post garden photos late Sunday.

Until we meet again I leave Allie and her french fries in charge.
