Thanks to Lsig, Mimma, B-Dawg, and Wifey for today’s 20 questions.
False. “Fear” is technically not something you can fear. The thing causing the fear is fear-worthy, but fear itself is not something to fear. That would be like falling in love with love.
Kids were thirsty for updated literary figure. Rowling has done a good job of creating a world in which kids can relate, yet not be a part of. Since the publishing of her first novel, young adult literature has soared. Some of it is complete drek, but there are some author’s who have basically been given a new lease on publishing because of the Potter Phenomenon.
3. In your opinion, what percentage of happiness is based on prosperity?
25% You can still be happy without it, but it takes more effort
4. What upcoming movies, if any, are you looking forward to?
I have watched all the trailers that I can find online, and the only movie that I am really looking forward to is Transformers. I am not looking forward to it in a sense that it will be something incredible, but more from my childhood memories of the cartoon series.
5. If you have to explain a joke, does that automatically mean it isn't funny?
David Letterman’s career is based on explaining unfunny things until they become funny, so… No.
Little Man ages 0 through 1. There is so much of that time that I just cannot remember. It is all a blur. No sleep... midnight feedings... no sleep... change diaper... no sleep...
7. Ducks or Geese?
This is a tougher question than one might think. If I am in the circle I really don’t want to be “Goose” because then I will have to run around until I get the guy who called me “goose” or until I can cause an open spot for me to sit again. Then again, if you are always a duck, you never get to prove your duckiness. Duck, Duck, Goose is such a culturally significant game.
8. Will you or Wifey worry most about Little Man on your upcoming weekend away?
I think I will.
9. If you had your choice of killing a hippo or a yeti, which would it be?
I would kill a Hippo with a Yeti’s freshly torn off arm, 'cause a Yeti without 2 arms is soon to be dead anyway.
Ummm… where are you getting at with this question? Are you implying that I cannot find my care if I park in a different spot.? That would just be plain silly. I could find my car. I could. I would just wait here until 7 in the evening until there were only 5 cars in the lot and choose which one looked most like mine. I gotta plan...
Nope. I do not believe that anyone has ever cited my thesis, except maybe as an example of how to not conduct research and/or how to come to nothing conclusions using an un-scientific method.
12. Do you think it is time we modernized the
Honestly, we have one of the more “modern” flags. It is not simply a tri-color or a tri-color with seal. It is not a simple cross or combination of simple crosses. It is a very unique flag. With how things are going right now, world diplomacy wise, I think the addition of the words “
Nope, I hope to hire a private pilot with my soon to be immeasurable wealth.
Going 55 mph (88.51 kph) in a 50 mph (80.47 kph) zone. I live on the wild side!
Honestly? The answer is disturbingly schmaltzy, So if you are disgusted by schmalz, skip to question 16. I am extremely proud of my relationship with my wife. We are both committed to our relationship and we are both willing to work at keeping it as strong as possible. My relationship with her is what allows me to try and be a good father. It allows me to believe in myself more. Yep, that is what I am most proud of. Not my grammar, that I am not proud of. I guess I should say that “Grammar is not the thing of which I am most proud.”
Whilst they all crack me up, I have to go with my favoritest, Monty Python and the Holy Grail which, oddly enough, is only one year older than me.
I would have to say the map depicting Napoleons troop strength on his march to and from
I grabbed a thumbnail from this site, but Blogger is posing some problems for me. I will try to upload the image on Wednesday.
Funny you should ask. I am actually a Cartographer III, but since no one knows what the heck a Cartographer is, much less one that is a 3rd degree black belt in the fine and deadly art of mapping, my business card has Senior Cartographer/GIS Coordinator printed on them. I have mentioned it before, but I wish they misspelled the cards to say Señor Cartographer/GIS Coordinator.
Well, there are the people next door who bought a house because the attic over there had knotty pine paneling. They chose knotty pine over a huge deck with a hot tub in it. Then on the other side of us is the guy who sells Johnnie Walker in his full kilt regalia. I could go on, but it just gets more ludicrous from there.
Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.
b) inherent . . controversial
c) improvised . . startling
d) methodical . . revolutionary
e) derivative . . gradual
I am at home with Little Man today
I have not had a solely Papa Day with him in a good long while
I am sure I will be craving adult conversation by

By written out I mean spelling “dot” instead of just “.” And spelling out “at” instead of “@”
I don't want any SPAMBOTs to find your email address and send you all sorts of crap
Please, someone want to ask me questions
Wifey is getting tired of coming up with inane questions
Don't do it for my sake... Do it for Wifey!
It is technically Tuesday here in Ohio, So I am going to post and head to bed

I have a question for you: How can you possibly justify staying home with Little Man again when I haven't had a chance to spend even a single day alone with him in his entire life?
Okay, I was sure that someone else (peefer? jacoppinger? any other wordsmiths out there?) was going to point this out, but since they didn't, I will.
You can indeed fear fear. That's what makes panic attacks so pernicious - you begin to fear the feeling of fear that you get during an attack, which then causes you to have an attack. It's a crazy loop. (Hee hee, I said crazy about a mental disorer.)
Also, one can indeed fall in love with love. Let's take the scenario of your brother and his first wife. They were both 19 and dated 3 months before tying the knot. Oh sure it lasted 8.5 years and 2 children, but you can bet your sweet bippy that they loved idea of "being in love" way more than they liked each other - especially during that last year.
Other than that, great post husband!
hey!
the SAT question wasn't very hard, really. I'd definitely spend a rainy afternoon doing exercises like that, I looove them
hmmm listening to enrique iglesias
nothing like mindless pop music that's embedded in my brain to give me a sleepy rush (I can be your hero baby... I can kiss away the pain... I will stand by you forever... You can take my breath away)
(try not to puke on the keyboard, they don't come free, and I accept no responsability =P)
PS: you already have my email
Anon:
I think you lack of visitation with Little Man is due to your lack of any real connection with the aforementioned youngster.
Dustin:
You are offended at my wish to be the only natural enemy of an endangered species, but urge me on in my quest to eradicate a cryptozoological? One at least has enough of a population that people have actually seen it in zoos and in the wild. I just don't know who you are anymore. You are an enigma wrapped in a riddle with a rhinestone bedazzled jacket made from a conundrum.
ZM:
Ummm… Listen here, Missy. We is an inclusive term, and since it includes me, my statement stands. If the statement were “All you have to fear, is fear itself.” I would be looking around to see if he were indeed talking to me, ‘cause Vampire Bears are not “fear” per se, but one should still fear them. Oh, yes, one should fear the Vampire Bears.
I suppose that all depends on how you define real. If reality is nothing more than a string of perceptions, than my reality is just as valid as yours. In fact, for me, my reality is more valid than yours. Accepting that my reality is more valid than yours (and I do accept that), my connection to Little Man is stronger than your biological "connection."
Start packing, bub.
Jude:
Somehow I did not see your post last night. Blogger is quite bizarre. I would demand a refund if it weren't free. I try not to send the question request to the same people everytime. You are definitely in the rotation for next week, so start mulling some q's over.
That is an incredibly insipid song.
Anon:
Your delusional fantasies know no bounds. Mainly due to your "perceptual reality." I have often thought about going into "perceptual realty."
