FRIDAY NIGHT SURVEY TIME, DOGGERS!

Hello! Remember me? I was here last Friday night to bother your brains? There wasn't much activity on the site this week and I know everybully is busy, especially with school starting up again and stuff. But, the last time we did this, I think some of us had some fun. So, if you're ready to jump in and get silly with us, here are this week's brain teasers:

What would be your ideal life?

What is your significant other's middle name?

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Ever shop at Goodwill or any other thrift store? (They have some good stuff.)

Your favorite childhood memory?

What is the best part of the turkey for holiday dinner?

What are you passionate about?

Where was your mom born?

Would you rather sleep with snakes or spiders? No cop outs! Gotta answer!

Who is the black sheep in your family?

Choose: beach in Fiji or shop in Paris?

The last song you caught yourself singing/humming?

Describe all the jewelry you're wearing RIGHT NOW!

Dozen roses or a box of chocolates? (I think I know this one.)

And let's end this with a really great question: What food gives you the most gas? (I'm laughing so hard right now.)

So, there it is for this week, Doggers! I hope you enjoy it. Please tell your site buddies and have them join us in all this insanity fun! Have a great weekend, all! As for me; where's my rum?

I misread the one about a song...

I thought it said WHEN, not WHAT song! Ok, so I always hum or sing, drives my little self crazy sometimes! I usually sing hymns, even kids church songs. Once in a while I hear a song at a store and then have it stuck in my head all day:-) I hate it when that happens, it's usually one I'd rather not go around humming all day!

ArchimedesMommy's picture

Bill, I wishhhh I could find your

rum for you.....shiverrrr me timberss!!

And, I apologize in advance if I've asked you this before, but----do you

come up with all of these questions on your own?  How fun !  :-)

What would be your ideal life?....

hubby & I would both LOVE to be able to rescue a LOT of bulldogs,

and ALL the "stuff" that would be required to do that---(space, land,

a NICE, clean, air-conditioned kennel / run for them, a separate little

building for sick/ quarantined babies, etc!)  One of the gals in our rescue group

actually does have an adora-bull, small building on her land where she is able to quarantine 2 sick bulldogs at a time.  It is PAWsome, and sadly----we just

got a new girl who caught serious kennel cough from being in a shelter, AND eye she has a bad eye infection, so she's able

to be quarantined in a loving place (our friend's little building) instead of the sad shelter where she's coming from!  :-(....

.....

 

What is your significant other's middle name?  Antonio ---annnd, we just celebrated our 20-year wedding anniversary on Aug 10th....I always

say he is a SAINT for putting up with me this long!!! Hee hee....but the

TRUTH is, he is SPOILED and LUCKY!  :-) 

...

...

What do you want to be when you grow up? I love Amy's answer, but I will seriously say that IF I could physically and emotionally handle it, I would

go back to college (again! LOL!)  and get an Associate's Degree for Veterinary Tech!  :-)..

....

....

Ever shop at Goodwill or any other thrift store? (They have some good stuff.).....

.....

Oh heck YES!  Ever since Professor Magoo adopted us back in Feb, I needed a stroller to take him places.....found a gently used stroller  one at Goodwill for $35.00....they retail for about $250.00 brand new!!!!....it not only holds one big bulldog very comfortably; it holds LOTS of stuff on the bottom basket area, plus it has 2 drink holders on the handles.......LOVE it !!

....

Your favorite childhood memory?...

Our annual summer trip to the beach !!!...

.......

What is the best part of the turkey for holiday dinner?.....the yummmy,

cold sandwiches the next day!  Whole wheat bread, dijon mustard, 

mayonnaise, and lotsa tomatoe----YUM!

...

...

What are you passionate about?...

Homelessness, Hunger, Respect for and APPRECIATION of veterans and active duty military, Proper Flag etiquette,  and more recently---Bulldog

Rescue!  I've also become VERY passionate about the rescue/ adoption/ of ALL

doggies.....it is just TOO SAD how many are out there that need homes/ ones who are neglected/ abused/ dumped in the street, etc!  Annnd, the amount of  

bulldogs that are STOLEN to be "breeding machines!"  .......I have educated many people about these topics. 

.....

Where was your mom born? That's SO  random! LOL!!!!  :-) Illinois

......

Would you rather sleep with snakes or spiders? No cop outs! Gotta answer!

Omg, that is SO hard to answer----are they poisonous? I guess I'll hafta

go with spiders---GAH!---only because the slithery, cold (?)  skin of

the snake curling around me would be sooo gross! ...

.......  

......

Who is the black sheep in your family?  We don't have one. 

.....

Choose: beach in Fiji or shop in Paris? BEACH !!!!!!!!!  Omg, I wanna go to

the ocean/beach sooo badly, it's hard to put it into words!!! ....

......

.....

The last song you caught yourself singing/humming?  LOL!  Funny you would ask---tonight we were at a very nice / kinda fancy Mexican restaurant and hubby & I were getting punchyyy that the music playing was all classic 70's rock, because we're used to fun, lively Mexican, Tejano music playing in most Mexican

places.  It ALSO made us punchy because it was just a smidddge too loud

for a restaurant.  I could NOT resist singing along to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", followed by Steve Miller Band's "Big Ole Jet Airliner".....I didn't MEAN to sing along, LOL--it just naturally happens! .....

......

.....

Describe all the jewelry you're wearing RIGHT NOW!

Wedding ring 

.....

....

Dozen roses or a box of chocolates? (I think I know this one.) 

Before I answer, Bill----which one do you think all / most of us will

say?  :-) 

Definitely prefer the beautiful Roses !!!  

......

And let's end this with a really great question: What food gives you the most gas? (I'm laughing so hard right now.)
LOL.....salad !!!

What is your significant other's middle name? Aaron

What do you want to be when you grow up? I am still deciding.

Ever shop at Goodwill or any other thrift store? (They have some good stuff.) I shop mostly at yardsales but in the winter it's almost always resale shops. I hardly ever buy retail for clothes. And, I get some really nice clothes.

Your favorite childhood memory? Traveling with my folks across the country and across the world.

What is the best part of the turkey for holiday dinner? Turkey sandwiches the next day.

What are you passionate about? Journalism and bulldogs.

Where was your mom born? NYC

Would you rather sleep with snakes or spiders? No cop outs! Gotta answer! Snakes don't bother me at all. I think they are cool. I hate, hate, hate spiders.

Who is the black sheep in your family? The family is too small so we don't have one.

Choose: beach in Fiji or shop in Paris? Beach. I love to swim. And, note my answer above, unless they have resale shops in Paris, I'm not shopping.

The last song you caught yourself singing/humming? Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini with bulldog lyrics.

Describe all the jewelry you're wearing RIGHT NOW! Wedding ring, a gold ring from my dad's side of the family and one from my mom's side, a pearl earring and a pair of silvery earrings.

Dozen roses or a box of chocolates? (I think I know this one.) It depends on the kind of chocolates. Should be very dark, maybe with nuts. Or not.

And let's end this with a really great question: What food gives you the most gas? (I'm laughing so hard right now.) I have a very strong digestive system. Nothing gives me gas. The bulldogs?...well that's another question.

Thanks for the survey!

Here you go.

If you are familiar with this classical piece, here are the words.

 

Beware of the dog

My bulldog is bad

Beware of the bad dog

The worst one we’ve had

You know that bulldog barks

And sometimes she bites

Chews up all your shoes

And gets into fights

Beware of the bad dog

Beware of the bad doggie (eeeeee).

 

repeat

 

Start singing 15:24 minutes into the piece. Sing with with emotion and passion.

I sing this to my dogs and they seem to like it.

I'm in, Mr. Bill!

What would be your ideal life? I think I'd enjoy being a wealthy bum.  I've got the bum part down; still working on the wealth...

What is your significant other's middle name? Phillip

What do you want to be when you grow up? I keep hearing that Peter Pan song in my head! 

Ever shop at Goodwill or any other thrift store? (They have some good stuff.) Yep!  My sister called it "treasure hunting". 

Your favorite childhood memory? My father would gather all the kids (this was before the 2 youngest were born, so there were 6 of us) in a bedroom and tell us stories.  Fun! 

What is the best part of the turkey for holiday dinner? I'm a big fan of the dark meat.  I like to do my version of a bowl - turkey topped with mashed potatoes topped with sausage bread stuffing topped with tons of gravy!  Oh my!

What are you passionate about? Honesty and morality.  

Where was your mom born? Kyoto

Would you rather sleep with snakes or spiders? No cop outs! Gotta answer!While I've (unintentinally) slept with spiders, my preference would have to go with snakes.  I'm not a fan of the spider - especially the ones with hairy legs! 

Who is the black sheep in your family? My older brother Marc.  But he was more grey than black! lol 

Choose: beach in Fiji or shop in Paris? Is there some reason I can't do both? (see answer to first question)

The last song you caught yourself singing/humming? Well, other than "I won't grow up", it was "How great thou art".  There was an incredible electric storm the other night that was positively awe-inspiring! 

Describe all the jewelry you're wearing RIGHT NOW! Not a thing.  

Dozen roses or a box of chocolates? (I think I know this one.) Again with the choice?  If I absolutely have to choose, the roses. 

And let's end this with a really great question: What food gives you the most gas? (I'm laughing so hard right now.) There are so many!  I think I have that oft-described "active digestive system" that seems to plague our beloved bullies! lol


Thanks Mr. Bill!!

An "active digestion system"?!

Was it possibly caused by a demanding female in a small box yelling at us to turn LEFT, TURN LEFT, TURN LEFT???

Maybe someday!

My husband was raised in California, spent some of his grade school years in Santa Maria and then his family moved to Costa Mesa in Southern California.  I have been many times and I never get tired of it.  For this landlocked Midwestern girl, there is nothing better than driving on the Pacific Coast Highway!!
