Saturday Six - Episode 32
This week, there’s a new rule that I’m implementing after last week’s controversial first responses. To be recognized as the “first to play,” you must be the first respondent to either actually post their answers in a comment here, or to post the complete link to the specific entry in your journal where you answer the questions. In other words, it won’t be enough to just give your journal’s generic address.
And welcome to Candy, Charles, Justine, Lici, and Kell who played for the first time last week.
Now, on to this week’s questions. To play you can either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal…but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! (And if you’re playing for the first time, please be sure to say so in the comment!) Enjoy!
1. Other than news, sports, editorials and weather, which specific features or columns of the newspaper do you always read?
2. When do you normally do your Christmas shopping? Have you started this year’s, yet? Do you intend to spend more, less or the same this year versus last year?
3. You’re having a true “TV Dinner,” made by a classic character: who would you rather have in the kitchen:
A) Aunt Bee from “The Andy Griffith Show”
B) Alice from “The Brady Bunch”
C) June from “Leave it to Beaver”
D) Edith from “All in the Family”
E) Claire from “The Cosby Show”
4. What topic are you most sick of hearing about in J-Land?
5. What company is annoying you most with junk mail?
6. READER’S CHOICE QUESTION #32 from Chantal: What cheesy sitcom (from any era) most describes how you grew up? Your family, location, dynamics, details…
MY ANSWERS:
1. I always read “Dear Abby,” the horoscope and the “Ask the Doctor” column. I don’t know why…but they’re just part of my daily read.
2. I normally do most of my Christmas shopping during the first two weeks of December. I haven’t started yet this year. I will likely spend slightly less this year than last year.
3. I’d like Aunt Bee doing the cooking. There’s nothing like good ol’ southern cooking!
4. I get the impression that there are a few people who haven’t quite realized that the election has happened, because they seem to be still trying to talk people into voting for someone other than Bush.
5. The Bradford Exchange. Every new piece of porcelain gets a nice glossy mailer that gets sent to me, and I can’t seem to get off their mailing list.
6. Hmm…cheesy sitcom…hmm… It’s a great question, but my life didn’t really seem like any cheesy sitcom. I’m going to have to think about that one and get back to you!
