Pink Girl's Special 1000th post game

[Colleens_Husband]

Dear Friends:

As some of you may have noticed, Pink Girl is nearing her 1000th post which means she is really dedicated to the HER2 community or she needs a hobby. Personally, I think she is that dedicated.

To commemorate the occasion, I propose that we start the Pink Girl free association game. Each person reads the word from the previous poster, and then writes down the first thing that comes into their mind. It might be easier if you write the word in bold caps so it is easier to find. If it a real derailment of the train of thought, you might want to explain why you came up with the word you did.

I'll start off:


Pink


obviously because it is Pink Girl's commemorative thread.

[Jackie07]

Pumpkin....

[Colleens_Husband]

Pie .......................

[Kathy S in Tokyo]

Pie ---> contest

(I was chosen to represent the girls' side of our summer camp in a pie eating contest when I was 11. The boy's side had to choose their biggest and fastest eater out of more than a hundred boys. Our counselor led me to the ring where I was dismayed to see that the boy who had been chosen was none other than my brother, the bottomless pit, having his hands tied behind his back for the competition. I managed to beat him by deviously plunging my entire face into my banana cream pie and lessening the actual amount I had to ingest (Thank goodness for all that Farrah Fawcett hair!). Neither of us had banana cream pie for close to three decades after that.

Chlorine


Michael Phelps broke Mark Spitz's record which reminded me of the joke, Why do they put chlorine in the Olympic Pool? Mark Spitz.

[Bill]

BeautyQueen....(Lee, little brother, mom always said I needed to watch out for you....the joke is "how do they 'fill' the Olympic pools, you little Knucklehead....)_

[Kathy S in Tokyo]

Beauty Queen ---> Bon Jovi

[Colleens_Husband]

Bon Jovi -------> HAIR

[mts]

Bald spot

maria

[hutchibk]

bald spot ------> kojak

(I guess that's more than just a bald spot, hi Maria!)

[AbbyDawg]

Sucker .........

(as in lollipop)

[Vi Schorpp]

Just like PINK

[gracie's mom]

Don't blink, just think pink....and there a post will be!!

[Colleens_Husband]

Ink Blot

I'm not saying exactly why that comes to mind, just a little advice ....... No matter how much that Rorscharch test looks like two nuns armed with banannas chasing an elephant down a railroad tunnel, you are better off just saying 'butterfly'. You just got to trust me on this one.

[StephN]

NOSES or WINE GLASSES?

(Depends whether you concentrate on the black part or the white part which one you see.)

This sould bring up lots of associations!

[hutchibk]

(aside: Lee, it's the difference between thorazine and zoloft, right? LOL)

[juanita]

ebony and ivory.

[Bill]

CARVING (thinking of artwork I've seen)

[Becky]

canned cheese

[StephN]

Fois gras.

[PinkGirl]

Okay, thanks guys. I made my 1000th post in a Tiptoe thread.
I am happy that you associate me with spit and fat livers.
You're the best !!!

[Colleens_Husband]

fois gras ------> Margi Gras

(Pink Girl, your welcome, anything we can do to be your personal little ray of sunshine. Congratulations on the 1000th post.)

[StephN]

(Aside to Lee: If you meant MARDI gras, I will refrain from saying "Katerina," even though I have been there and seen that devesatation...)

[juanita]

[Becky]

beer and boas

[Colleens_Husband]

beer and boas ------> Brazil

[Bill]

Mauna Loa...

[Catherine]

VOLCANO....pink smoke rising...go pinkie

[Becky]

Lava......

[Gerri]

Lava ----> spewing

[Colleens_Husband]

spewing --------> Chemotherapy

Colleen is at day 6 after TCH today. It has been a whole lot easier than TAC. The word association is probably because this round is going so much better and I'm waiting for the other shoe to fall.

(Aside to Brenda: Zoloft vs. thorazine? LOL. Actually it's the difference between those scratchy canvas wrist restraints and the softer leather ones that you could chew through.)

(Aside to Steph: Okay, it's Mardi Gras. Guess I had fat fingers on that one. The sad part is I take pride in being able to spell.)

(Aside to Catherine: Was that avatar photo taken at the Relay for the Cure thing in Oregon City? The one where the Oregon City mayor blathered on so long that the cancer survivors were keeling over in the hot sun? Colleen was there, it would have been neat if you two could have met.)

[StephN]

CHEMOTHERAPY -- Guess that leads us back to >>> BALD HEADS!

(And so much more! Understanding nurses, lots of sleep, IV lines, premeds, mouth sores, to name a few.)

(Lee - so glad to hear that your Colleen is feeling better on the THC - let her know that she will feel better and better now.)

Reminds me of one early summer day in Kansas when I saw a 2 acre cornfield mowed down completely by a lightning storm. There wasn't a cornstalk left standing.

Uh-oh Lee, the pressure is on for you to come up with an extra, extra special way to commemorate Becky's 2000th post! Now, that's impressive!!

[sassy]

Over hill, over dale

[Colleens_Husband]

dale ---------> Roy Rogers

Dale, of course being Dale Evans.

(Brenda: I'm only 49 and a half. I skipped a year in school. Not because I was smart or anything, I think it had more to do with the principal getting tired of me.)

[AbbyDawg]

and Hammerstein

Gotcha beat ... grad 1971, am 54 and proud of it!

[Becky]

Oklahoma!

PS: I graduated in 1977 and will be the big 5-0 at Christmas time

[hutchibk]

Oklahoma------------> Tishomingo.
(oops, I may have just killed the thread! It's the town where my mom and her whole fam damily are from, and I spent all my summers.)

I graduated in 77 and will be 49 in 2 months. Like I said, I am counting on 50 being the new 48 or even better, the new 42! I liked 48, but 42 was the best of the 40s.

[StephN]

TIMBUKTO = "not much visited"

[Sheila]

Timbukto...............Tippacanoe

I am hoping 60 is the new 40.....or at least closer to collecting my pension

I am from the class of 1970.....if years could talk.

[juanita]

(Had to go back to PEANUTS because we don't have a back porch.)

[Colleens_Husband]

Reminds me when I was a kid and we would play baseball until it was too dark to see and then we would play kick the can until it was time to go to bed.

[PinkGirl]

Redbone

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xLi39E9PbA

[Colleens_Husband]

Redbone -----------> Tuba

Leon Redbone was a ragtime musician who had a tuba player. Makes you wonder what happens to tuba players after they are no longer in their marching band.

[PinkGirl]

I think about that all the time Lee.

[Colleens_Husband]

Pink Girl:

And you should think about that all the time. Tuba players practice their instruments as hard as anyone else. They buy an expensive tuba. They work their way through highschool, playing in the marching band at halftime where only their parents watch, everyone else going to one of the two restrooms to take a pee. If they are good, they go to college and march in the band, lugging a heavy tuba around, which only gets heavier as it fills with spit, with only their parents in the stand, everyone else going to one of four restrooms to take a pee. And when they graduate, they get to compete for one of the two professional tuba jobs in the planet. (There used to be three before Leon Redbone retired.) So they sit in their apartments, alone at night, practicing for the long awaited tuba revival which never comes as their next door neighbors throw shoes against the wall and their downstairs neighbor pounds on his ceiling with a broom handle.

Can you think of anything more bleak and pathetic. Where were these people's parents when they started down this slippery slope?

I'm just saying..........

[PinkGirl]

Exactly Lee.... just what I've been thinking.

[StephN]

Half Time - my dad watched the band, didn't drink beer so did not need the potty break ... but none of us kids were encouraged to play the tuba!

[juanita]

tuba---usc marching trojans

[AbbyDawg]

USC -----> OJ

Sorry for that connection but you guys brought it up! The only college football halftime I got to march in (drums/cymbals) was U of MN vs USC around 1970-71, I think. OJ was playing with USC then and our band director told us to watch him because he'd be great some day. Uhhhh, Mr. Dufault, I think you need to rethink that.

And now I got to go visit the ladies' room.

TUBAMANGO! Lee, you played the Tuba in high school, didn't you? You sound like a disgruntled Tuba-player, but you're smart, though, so I'm not sure.....you played the trumpet, didn't you? And, Harriecanie, I love mango and I love pickles, so I know I'd love to eat pickled mangoes in paradise! Come on, who wouldn't?

[Colleens_Husband]

banana slugs ---------> lunatic

I remember reading an article in an environmental magazine about the magnificent and threatened banana slug. I thought the author was a lunatic. You have to see one of them to know what I mean. They are like a cross between a regular slug and a school bus. They are huge.

Howdy Doody.....what a geeky looking character he was, but I loved him....I was also fascinated by Little Oscar who rode around in the weiner mobile, which I just saw a month or so ago...probably going to the Joliet Speedway for Nascar

Anyone else have a weiner whistle???

[AbbyDawg]

Sheila! I still have my little red and yellow Oscar Mayer Weiner whistle that I got around 1959 or so. And a few years ago I met seven of the then twelve remaining Munchkins (left from the cast of about 124). Jerry Maren was the one who traveled with the Weinermobile. And I swore Howdy Doody was alive and I wanted him to be my little brother.

You and I must be sisters!!!! (Did you ever live by Savanna, IL? I went to kindergarten and first grade there.)

[harrie]

SALEM


Where my son goes to school....Willamette Univ in Salem, OR.

[Colleens_Husband]

Flori:

To get to Oregon City, go to Portland and head due south until you start seeing normal people. It's about 100 miles north of Eugene. It's about 40 minutes from Salem, where Colleen was born and raised.


Oh, and the free association:

Salem ------> Government (if it doesn't start a fight)

[juanita]

tmnt-----shredder

[Bill]

hmmm, Do I go with TMNT "MASTER SPLINTER", or "JUGGERNAUT/OUT OF CONTROL AND WANNA ROB US BLIND GOVERNMENT"? Commonsense tells me to let someone else decide. See- I do have common sense!

[Colleens_Husband]

Yorkville sausages ...... Fall Barbeques

[AbbyDawg]

Fall Barbeques -----> TAILGATING

(Although I can't stand football! I prefer camping out on the concrete at Gate F in front of the Dome before a Twins game ... tents, inflatable mattress, good sleeping bag, lawn chairs, ordering pizza, talking baseball all night with people who don't think you're crazy because you can, a bottle of wine, etc. Now THAT'S tailgating!)

[hutchibk]

tailgating --------------> drunk drivers!

[Becky]

It always comes back around to chocolate martinis, and that is a good thing.

[Becky]

Both yucky but Mandatory Foods in the upper midwest in the late 1960s. And Spam ... except for in our house. My Dad was in the Navy and served on LSTs for 3 1/2 years in WWII. We were not even allowed to bring a can of Spam into the house.

[Colleens_Husband]

Yams -----------> Popeye

As in "I Yam what I Yam."

[AbbyDawg]

yams ---> WILD YAM CREAM

(The stuff works! No more hat flashes/night sweats after dbl. mast. But for some reason, my Norwegian roots keeps me from being able to call it the right thing. I keep saying, "Wild yak cream." )

[AbbyDawg]

Oops, sorry Lee. I stepped on your reply. Or stepped over it. I hadn't refreshed my screen.

[hutchibk]

popeye ----> yummy, sailor man! (I love a man in uniform)

[Colleens_Husband]

(Aside to Abbey Dawg: Don't worry about it. I don't think of this as a game or a procedural test of computer skills, it's more of a way for everyone to interact and enjoy the HER2 community. If you read over this thread, the mistakes are endearing.)

I would try to combine sailors and cream but the one thing that came to mind really doesn't belong on a thread for mixed company.

So with that:

sailor man --------> Submarines

[hutchibk]

well, you didn't really clean it up with that post either, Lee. LOL

[harrie]

submarines.....diving deep.....

[Bill]

I have shown a history of a lack of common sense, and I don't live in downtown Cleveland, and I don't live up north, so I cannot respond at this time, even though I really, really want to.

[StephN]

Jules Verne - > > "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea"

P.S. Bill, I completely understand. I lived in Lakewood - a suburb to the west of downtown Cleveland. That was at the time when the Cyahoga River would spontaneously combust!
