I only have one song by The Zutons. I think Ellie sent it in one of the cd exchanges.

How long has it been since you caught a lightning bug?

[roach]

it's been a few years. we have been getting more and more at my house over the last few summers and I'd like to see their numbers grow so I've stopped catching them. I did have one land on me this year, nice little fella.

[katie]

what is your favorite episode of your favorite 90's sitcom?

I just had a delightfully refreshing Snakebite (Ace pear cider + Harp's) on Sunday; does that count as my favorite beer?

Katie -->
The 90s sitcom episode that stands out to me is the Bizarro World episode of Seinfeld. It's the one where Jerry's date has man hands, Kramer gets a job and puts saltines in his briefcase, and Elaine finds friends just like them (but successful and good citizens) and has to choose.


What are you scared of?

- Mere "ain't skeered" 1975

[ifihadahifi]

I'm scared to taking another breath. One of my cubicle neighbors has a rotten gut and they think they are being sneaky.

Have you ever tried to be sneaky but it didn't work out as planned?

[mere1975]

Sadly, yes. The first time I fell asleep with Sam in the room, I woke myself up with a sound. . . then died when I realized what the sound was!



What's your favorite word for gas -- fart, toot, etc.?

- Mere "my brother taught the nephews to say 'Power Rangers S.B.D.' instead of S.P.D." 1975

[Jan]

Bum burp is the first that springs to mind.

Are you a fan of double entendres?

Jan "said the actress to the bishop" Deal

[ifihadahifi]

Oh yeah! I'm a def a "double entendres" man. Nothings better than a pair of big, wet, supple double entendres.... if you know what I mean.

What verbal gaff have you made that still makes you giggle?

[mere1975]

Can it be one that someone else made?

When we were visiting potential wedding reception sites, a salesperson told us: "The silver package comes with an ice sculpture. You can get a heart or swans -- or it's really popular now to get a mammogram done!"

We paused. I asked, "Monogram?"


How often do you get your teeth cleaned?

- Mere "went to the dentist today" 1975

[monet2u]

twice a yearh, but would go more if insurance paid for it. I love a clean white toothed smile!



How do you feel about the dentist?

[roach]

when i actually had a good one i didn't mind it. i've had so many cavities that going to the dentist usually meant making the mouth better which i am for. but the last few dentist has resulted in fewer teeth and more lingering pain so i fucking hate dentists right now.

ever been to a podiatrist?

[mere1975]

Yes, I had bad ingrown toenails when I was little. Somewhere, I have a picture of 3-year-old me sitting on a wastebasket turned upside-down, soaking my feet in salt water (a regular occurrence in those days.)

Are your feet narrow, wide or normal?

- Mere "let's hear it for feet that look like bars of soap" 1975

[zenmomma]

My feet are wide. Makes finding comfy shoes a real bitch.

Do you get any satisfaction from knowing that hundreds of Starbucks stores are closing?

zen "I do" momma

[ifihadahifi]

Kinda. Sucks for all these folks that will be out of jobs. And I don't know that independent coffee shops will replace the bux that are closing... which if it was the case... that would make it satisfactionizing.

The one thing I have to give Starbucks is they brought up the appreciation level of decent coffee in the U.S. There was a time not too long ago where someone living in... let's say... McKinney... would have to drive all the way to Dallas to go to a coffee shop that served a decent cup of coffee. So I can't hate bux completely.


Have you given blood lately?

[mere1975]

Not for about a year, but I should soon! I am the universal donor.

What's your blood type?

- Mere "O+ or maybe O-" 1975
