Gotta love people who say one thing then demand the other.

Religion

My take on what’s right and what’s wrong with religion.

Television

The crazy world of television. Believe me: I know crazy when I see it.

Saturday Six – Episode 291

Having a stressful week? Oh, the stress meter’s off the scale here at Patrick’s Place, so I thought I’d make de-stressing a topic for this week. It might even make its way to tomorrow’s quiz, too.

First to play last week: Otowi of Otowi. Congratulations!

The Missing Day

In this week’s Saturday Six, I posed the following question:
There’s only one day of the week that Halloween hasn’t fallen on since this blog began. What day of the week would you guess that is?
For those who weren’t motivated to look it up, I wanted to be sure to post the answer.
The very first edition of the Saturday Six …

Though I’m sure I’ve asked Halloween-themed Saturday Six questions before, this is the first time since this blog began that Halloween actually fell on a Saturday. So I couldn’t possibly ignore the holiday this time around!

Here’s a new set of Saturday Six questions that might just make you hungry!
It’s all about ethnic food, of any variety. My most unusual recent experience with ethnic food was with my close friends Archie and Rebekah in California. During my last visit there, along with Archie’s brother Sam, we had dinner in a very nice Thai restaurant …

Sorry for posting this a bit later than normal…I’ve been battling a sinus infection so I slept late today.
Today’s edition of the Saturday Six is all about various metals, precious ones and some that are barely worth a cent.

Fifty years ago Friday, CBS aired the first episode of The Twilight Zone. Since I did a Saturday Six on The Brady Bunch last week, it’s only fair that I do a salute to the ‘Zone’ this week!

Forty years ago today, a silly little sitcom premiered on ABC. It was about a widower with three young sons who married a widow with three young daughters. And the rest, as they say, is television history! I figured, why not celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Brady Bunch here at the Saturday Six

This week, the Saturday Six may require some basic directional skills. But thanks to Google, you can find a nearly-endless series of maps online, so if you get a little stumped, you’ve got help!

This week, the Saturday Six is going to the dogs! It’s a pet-themed set of questions, and since I’m a dog person, the questions are pretty much related to dogs.
If you’re a cat person, the questions still apply: I tried to avoid questions that could only work for dog owners.
If you’re not a pet person at all, then pretend! …

Here We Go Again

It has come to my attention that a certain website is directly copying two of my weekly memes, the Saturday Six and the Sunday Seven into a member forum, listing the questions word for word, and having its members play there instead of here.  Though there is one “sticky” post that contains a link to this blog, the administrators of …

When I was maybe 12 or so, I was at a neighbor’s house and we were hanging out. His mother was home and picked up the phone when it rang. “Hello,” she said, in a normal, polite tone. After a pause, she said, “Well, hello, you damned old witch, how are you?”
Completely surprised, I looked at my …

Saturday Six – Episode 280

Do you Facebook? Do you Myspace? This week’s questions are about social networks. Yes, even Twitter is in the mix. If you aren’t a member of any of the above, you can still play…just imagine how you’d answer the questions if you were part of them.

This is going to be a busy day, so I may be a little slow in getting comments posted. Please bear with me and I’ll get them up as quickly as I can.

The pup has a vet appointment this morning, and so I’m posting this set of questions before that.
This week’s quiz is a little out there: it requires you to put yourself in an unusual situation, or at least what’s probably an unusual situation, then answer questions based on where your imagination takes you next. Just go with it. …
