Hello My Friends...
Yes Flori Flori Morning Glory (secret Wendy person) -- J. M. Barrie's tale of Peter Pan included the much beloved character, Wendy. It seems he invented the name in the early 1900s, when ancient Welsh names were becoming popular again, as an expression of intellectual nationalism. Perhaps a derivation of Gwendolyn.
How brilliant of your Mom, Flori, for indulging your whimsy. The beans thing is well known, true (via movies like ?Blazing Saddles). However, specifically, my source states that the reason astronauts are not allowed to eat beans before they go into space is because --PASSING WIND IN A SPACE SUIT DAMAGES IT! Talk about noxious fumes... Whew... http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/smi/2b00001c91/13 Thanks Flori/Wendy and Pinkie for playing along. Pink One -- is that you fishing at an ice floe -- up there in Iceland...? Down the road from your teepee...? Now Spike is correct as well. Paper $$$ is made of cotton. AND -- did you know -- the Declaration of Independence was written on hemp (marijuana) paper. Our founding Fathers were high on Life and really connected to their yearning to be Free Spirits. It's all becoming very clear... To me, anyway. I will leave you with this thought: A tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion will make it go instantly mad and sting itself to death. Handy to know... Sleep well, my Sisters and Bros. Andi http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/clip_art/gs...mals-butterfly |
what do jimmie johnson and kevin harvick have in common?
|
They drive too fast.
|
besides that!
|
They both are handsome and wealthy.
|
A few guesses:
They are both from California. They both have hair that you couldn't dent with a ball peen hammer. They are the only two NASCAR drivers not named Dale, Kyle, Ernie, Mike, or Gordon. (Only five first names are sanctioned by NASCAR, all other drivers must get a special waiver to compete.) Neither one knows how to turn right. All of the above. |
pink, that is true but not what i was looking for. they are the only 2 pole sitters to win the brickyard 400.
|
Juanita,
That was going to be my next guess. Really...... :) |
Okay, time for another quiz. This installment is called "Name that Rock Band". The point of this is to see the list of band member's names and then guess the band. It may be easier than you think. Once again, this is open book and open internet. It starts easy and gets harder.

Quiz Feedback:
So far no wrong answers except for no. 12 isn't Greenday, great guess though. Juanita, great guess on no. 18 for Cheap Trick. I bet you got it from the drummer, Bun E. Carlos. Not many people named Bun E.! Bill, special kudos to you for No. 16, R.E.M. I didn't think anyone would get that one. Well done! Some of these answers were designed for Brenda. I think you will need her input to figure out some of these. Great job so far to everyone! |
17. The Clash
19. Bad Company |
Good job Pink Girl! Two answers, but two of the hard ones.
It's just amazing how resourceful or brilliant everyone on this forum is! Just 4 more to go. Nos. 12, 20, 21, and 22. |
12. The Smashing Pumpkins
|
20. The Cure
21. confusing one. Part Bad English and part Journey? |
22. World Party
|
21 is it Asia?
|
Here I am Pinky
Sheesh! I missed all the fun!
Great job everyone. Okay Lee/Bill/Spike (interesting how you are taking on more personalities), next time you post a quiz make it work-friendly for the west coast. I just got home and it was all over. The big quiz in July worked out for me because I was on "staycation". I'll be on the lookout for the next one! |
20 is the Cure,
21 is one of the several incarnations of Journey. Last but not least, 22 is a band from Manchester. The lead singer always had one hand in his suit pocket. Most people assumed that the lead singers name was not Peter. |
Oh, oh, oh, I think I know
It's Herman's Hermits??? |
ARGH!!! I was just rushing back to post:
HERMAN'S HERMITS!!! PinkGirl - You win, once again! |
Sorry Gerri. I had all day to work on this :)
I'll share the prize with you! |
YAY!!! There's a prize??? I sure hope it is the bunny bowl Lee referred to in the "Joy Column". Is it Lee? Can PinkGirl and I share the bunny bowl??? PLEEEZE????
|
Okay, about that bunny bowl......
A couple of years back someone put the bunny bowl in the microwave oven and....... well, who knew rabbits and microwave radiation don't mix. Certainly bunny didn't say anything, not that I'm blaming the victim. Anyways, the bunny grew these huge bubble like growths all over his face. Now he is a "special" bunny. With that said, he is still MY "special" bunny. If I sent him away to you, he wouldn't come back, which is what bunny is all about in the first place. If I find another bunny bowl, I'll gladly ship him to you. I'll need your address though. |
Don't give him your address Gerri.
|
I knew cheap trick without bun e. i love them and still listen to 'em.

Famous or not so famous film quotes
This might be hard. I'm not sure, because I have the answers.
I am looking for the name of the actor plus the name of the movie. 1. Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine. 2. If only you could see what I've seen with your eyes. 3. Cops and women don't mix. It's like eating a spoonful of Drano. Sure, it'll clean you, but it'll leave you hollow inside. 4. You see, in this world there's two kinds of people my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig. 5. If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions. 6. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know .... morons. 7. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue. 8. You're an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill. 9. You're dumber than you think I think you are. 10. Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room. 11. See? I am the world's first fully functioning homicidal artist. 12. I'm sure that in 1985 plutonium is available in every corner drugstore, but in 1955 it's a little hard to come by. 13. Don't say it's a fine morning or I'll shoot ya! |
