Saturday Six - Episode 46
February Sweeps is down to the final five days, so be sure to watch lots of television between now and Wednesday and keep us promo people employed until May!
In any case I’m back with six more questions to entertain the masses.
But first…
“Oh yeah, daddy’s back!” Scott, the king of being first to play was first to play after several weeks of near and not-so-near misses. Congratulations, Scott! Just don’t think I’m going to respond to “Who’s yo daddy?”
Daniel was our sole first-timer last week. Be sure to visit his journal and say hello. You might also enjoy a regular feature on his journal: “Useless Information Thursday.” Who can’t use a little useless information every now and then!!
Now on to this week’s questions! 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! If you don’t have an AOL journal, you can still play, but of course you’ll at least need an AOL screen name, which you can get for free with AOL Instant Messenger, to be able to leave a comment here. To be counted as “first to play,” you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your journal in which you answer the questions. A link to your journal in general cannot count. (And if you’re playing for the first time, please be sure to say so in the comment!) Enjoy!
1. If a space colony could be built on the Moon or on Mars and humans could live there under protective domes, would you have any interest in living away from Earth?
2. A commercial for a credit company starts with a man being denied for a loan because of his credit score (619) and then he encounters that same number in multiple places. Is there a number that holds some significance for you that you encounter fairly often?
3. How many items are in your refrigerator door at this moment? Of those, how many have you not touched in the last six months?
4. How often do you buy a movie without seeing it (either in a theater or through a movie rental)? What was the last movie you purchased without having seen first? Do you now think that if you’d seen it first, you wouldn’t have purchased it?
5. What was the last thing you purchased at an electronics store? An office supply store? A department store?
6. Do you expect to owe taxes this year or get a refund? Will this year’s debt or refund be greater or less than last year’s?
If you have a Reader’s Choice question you’d like to see asked (and answered), click the e-mail link on the About Me bar and send it to me.
MY ANSWERS:
1. I like the science fiction aspect of it, but I’m far too cowardly to climb into a rocket.
2. 303. It was my grandmother’s house number, and since her death more than twenty years ago, several members of my family encounter that number fairly often.
3. There are 14 items in the door; three haven’t been touched in at least six months. Time to clean out the door?
4. I’m cutting back on this practice. I used to do it more before I had a DVD player. The last movie I purchased without having seen it first was “The Forgotten,” but I don’t regret buying it first. I’ll watch it again.
5. An ergonomic keyboard; tax software; a black button-down shirt.
6. I expect a refund this year, and I think it will be slightly more than last year’s. No complaints here (about my tax refund, at least).
