The Answer and Ask Comment Game

How shall we do this?

Let me explain:

The person before you has asked you a question. Now being a pleasant guest you shall answer. See, small talk! Now, you will want to welcome the next guest by asking a question of them.

It really is as simple as answer and ask. Please remember you are a pleasant guest and this is only small talk, albeit of the amusing kind. Some possible questions mght be:

• What book are you reading?
• Where did you get that lovely ensemble?
• Do you think Brad Pitt is over-rated?
• Who was your favourite Bond, James Bond?

Please, keep it non-personal and ask fun questions. And  yes you can come back to mix and mingle, in fact I encourage it.

Question for first person:

If you had to name the craziest thing you did as a teenager, what would it be?

A Sunday Morning in May

How  To  Lose  Several  Pounds in  One  Day, No  Special Diet Required.

6:25 A.M.  Wake up. Yawn. Stretch. Question your sanity for  getting up so early.
6:33 A.M. Answer phone to friend who claims she is on her way to pick you up. Be prepared  for her to also question your sanity.
7:10 A.M. Meet up with more than a thousand like  minded people. Sanity questioning continues.
7:30 A.M. Begin by putting one foot in front of the  other in running-like  motion. Continue this for twenty-six and a bit miles.
10:40 A.M. Tell your legs that you really can see the  finish line and beg them to take you there.
10.50 A.M. ish Discover that although you are elated at finishing second  in your age class - your legs do not  share this feeling of happiness.

Spend the rest of the day doing  as  little as  possible. A weight loss is indeed guaranteed.

Half past late: Yawn. Stretch. Tell your on-line friends that you will return on Tuesday. Start getting ready for bed. Tell your legs  to shush as they continue to question your  sanity.

The Daily Question From A Blogfriend

This question was e-mailed  to me, but has, with permission, been edited for length.

Helena wants to know...

A couple  of nights ago I watched a television show that had a storyline about two young brothers who intentionally set fire to a neighbourhood restaurant.  The fictional parents decided to  discipline these boys by giving extra chores.  This  reminded  me of someone I know who lied to the police to gave her son an alibi for the time period that a neighbours house was broken into.

If  your minor child committed a crime would you discipline them yourself or them into the police?

The Fourteen Letter Comment Game

It is that magical time again. That time when all the letters of the alphabet get to be placed in a pretty row for one of my comment games. Yes, I will pause while you clap your hands in glee. Okay, stop clapping dammit you are holding up the game. Now,what is the current alphabet theme? Fourteen letter words. Which, I do not recall ever doing before. Yes, it is time to show off your big word collection.   

So, in the spirit of alphabet games may I suggest that we create a list of fourteen letter words, put in alphabetical order of course.

Now begin with the letter A, the next person does B and so on.....

Yes, you can return to play again, after all, there are many fourteen letter words, correct?

The I Spy Comment Game

According to some people I make up silly games. Keep this in mind as I suggest the following:

The person above you has the magic ability to look through your computer monitor and see you and your surroundings. Don't be frightened they are just here for the game and they will leave in a moment. Just before they disappear they play the I Spy Game. Yes, you know which game I am talking about, the anti-boredom road-trip game that requires you to guess what the other person has spied based on a one word clue.

So, tell us what your thru-the-monitor visitor might have spied based on their clue. Also do not forget that after you have answered the person above you it is your turn to look through the monitor of the next person and tell them what you spied. Sound fun?  Of course it does. If it does not sound fun then I spy a party-pooper.   

Now let me begin  by looking through the monitor of the first person:

I spy with my little eye something that is ruffled.

What one thing, among many things, are you most looking forward to for the month of May?

The Monday Three Things

Three random things I did this past weekend:

• Met a friend, that I have  not seen for  many years, for a long leisurely lunch. It is indeed possible to catch up on several missed years of someone's life, while  sharing a  bottle  of wine.   
  
• Took my mother out for  early  Sunday breakfast.  It is indeed possible to exchange I can't believe he said that stories with a parent, while sharing a pot of coffee.
  
• Made dinner for one  on Sunday evening. It is  indeed possible  to imagine that the fork asked the spoon, "who is that woman in our kitchen?" This proves, of course, that not  only do I rarely eat at home, but that I like  to think that utensils offer sarcastic commentary, when not running away with each other in a nursery rhyme. 
  

Your turn. Name three random things  you did  this past weekend.
