3. Artemus Gordon (from the Wild Wild West)

4. Kronk (from The Emperer's New Groove)

10. Amy (from Little Dorrit)

11. Lady Dedlock (from Bleak House)

12. Dr. Woodcourt (from Bleak House)

************************************************************************************
1. Who would make a better college prof, 6 (Eowyn) or 11 (Lady Dedlock)? Lady Dedlock

2. 12 (Dr. Woodcourt) sends 8 (L.B. Jeffries) out on a mission. What is it? Does it succeed? It would be for Jeff to take a picture of Esther Summerson (a good picture to put in his wallet) 

3. What is or would be 9's (Daniel Boone) favorite book? Probably the Bible

4. For some reason, 5 (Kusco) is looking for a roommate. Should (s)he share a studio apartment with 9 (Daniel Boone) or 10 (Amy)? Daniel Boone because the other is a girl.

5. 2 (James West), 7 (Dr. Grant), and 12 (Dr. Woodcourt) have dinner together. Where do they go, and what do they discuss? These guys are as opposite as they get. They would each have a turn talking about what they do for a living.

6. 3 (Artemus Gordon) challenges 10 (Amy) to a duel. What happens? Why would Arte challenge a girl to a duel?

7. If 1 (Faramir) stole 8's (L.B. Jeffries) most precious possession, how would she/he get it back? Jeff would blind Faramir by flash bulbs.


9. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted 4 (Kronk) and 1 (Faramir) to work together? They couldn't work together, Kronk's too stupid!  

10. If 7 (Dr. Grant) visited you for the weekend, how would you get along? Awesome! We would talk about dinosaurs and his trip to the Islands.

11. If you could command 1 (Faramir) to perform any one task or service for you, what would it be?      To marry me and then I could rub it in Taylor, Hailey, and Emma's faces... HA.


12. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw 11 (Lady Dedlock)? Huh?

13. If 2 (James West) had to choose sides between 4 (Kronk) and 5 (Kusco), which would it be? Probably ....neither.

14. What might 10 (Amy) shout while charging into battle? Be Careful!

15. If you chose a song to represent 8 (L.B. Jeffries), which song would you choose? The Rear Window theme song 

16. 1 (Faramir), 6 (Eowyn), and 12 (Dr. Woodcourt) are having dim sum at a Chinese restaurant. There is only one scallion pancake left, and they all reach for it at the same time. Who gets to eat it? Well since Dr. Woodcourt is a gentleman and Faramir is in love with her, they would let Eowyn have it.  

17. What might be a good pick-up line for 2 (James West) to use on 10 (Amy)? What does that mean?

18. What would 5 (Kusco) most likely be arrested for? Getting caught in a No Llama restaurant! 

19. What is 6's (Eowyn) secret? She loves Aragorn then Faramir?

20. If 11 (Lady Dedlock) and 9 (Daniel Boone) were racing to a destination, who would get there first? Daniel Boone, because he knows shortcuts...plus Lady Dedlock knows it's not lady-like to run.

21. If you had to walk home through a bad neighborhood late at night, would you feel safer in the company of 7 (Dr. Grant) or 8 (L.B. Jeffries)? L.B. Jeffries, Definitely!

Gee that was fun!

• Nov. 12, 2009 - If George Bush was an Idiot...

If George Bush was an idiot. . . .

If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a teleprompter installed to be  able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said  this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?


If  George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of tax dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?


If  George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?


If  George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had announced during a speech that the United States was no longer a Christian nation, would you have kept quiet?

If George W. Bush had said during a speech that there were 57 states, would you have just called him stupid or would you have made excuses because he was tired and couldn't think?


If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown, The British Prime Minister, a set of inexpensive and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and  historically significant gift, would you have approved?


If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?


If  George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi  Arabia , would you  have approved?

If George W. Bush apologized to the Europeans and the rest of the world for the actions of the United States , would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had been on his first visit to France and been near enough to visit but declined to pay his respects at Normandy and/or the cemeteries where thousands of American soldiers are buried would you have approved?


If  George W. Bush had visited  Austria   and made  reference to the non-existent "Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?


If  George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes,  would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had been known to consort with people of questionable intentions towards our great nation, would you have approved?


If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de Cuatro" (Fifth of Four) in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May (Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have winced in embarrassment?


If George W. Bush had mis-spelled the word "advice" would you have hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoe as proof of what a dunce he is?


If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel  to go plant a single tree on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?


If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing widespread  panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?


If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the  Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans,  would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and  incompetence?

If George W. Bush had created the position of 32 Czars who reported directly to him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America , would you have approved?


If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?


If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?


If  George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush held a press conference and banned a network from attending would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had travelled to Denmark to try to bring the Olympics to the United States while decisions needed to be made about Afghanistan would you have accused him of ignoring our children who are dieing over there?

If George W. Bush had made the rounds appearing on every TV talk show that would invite him to show up, would you have said he was wasting time he could be using to advantage in the Oval Office?

Does Obama even know where the Oval Office is?


So, tell me again, what is it about the Big O that makes  him so brilliant and impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this and more in just 8 months in office -- so you'll now have three years and less than one month to come up with an answer.

• Nov. 11, 2009 - This Week's (and many other week's late) Topic...Clouds!!!!!

Posted in Topics

This week's topic is clouds. It is raining outside and has been raining all day. We had to feed the horses today ( we volunteer at a horse farm to feed them Wed. and Thurs. mornings) and it was cold.....wet.....and muddy.....*sigh*!

Anywho....on to the pictures....

Picture #1 - cirrus clouds are also called "mare's tails" because of the wispy shape. When seen, it usually symbolises that it might turn stormy but can also be remnants of a hurricane or typhoon.

 

Picture #2 -  Cumulonimbus clouds are also known as "anvil clouds" because of their anvil-shaped tops. They usually mean either rain or a thunderstorm is coming.

 

 

Picture #3 - Mammatus clouds come from the Latin word mamma meaning breast because of their shape. They always mean a gale is coming and that there is a serious risk of tornadoes.

 

There you go.....hope you enjoyed it!

Till Later,

<><                                                                                                                                                                                    Jessica

(PS...I'm also making an apron....yay me!)

• Sep. 7, 2009 - This Week's Topic is....."Bizarre and Thought-To-Be-Extinct Sea Creatures"

Posted in Topics

 Okay...I am making some changes...from now on I will probably only be updating once a week...unless something important pops up and I want to tell y'all or cases of emergancy...etc.! I don't want y'all to think I'm ingnoring y'all... You can still chat on my chat box and PM me and stuff like that cause I will be on my blog just not updating it as much. Anywho...The Topic of the Week is (like the title)

"BIZARRE AND THOUGHT-TO-BE-EXTINCT SEA CREATURES"!!!

The 1st picture is a COELACANTH (sea-luh-can-th). This UGLY looking fish was actually scientifically pronounced to be extinct....it lived during the time of the dinosaurs.....untill a fisherman "happened" to catch a dead one somewhere and after doing a check, found a whole bunch of them living in the Indian Ocean!

 

The next picture is a MEGAMOUTH SHARK (y'all should be able to pronounce that). Not much to say about this one except that this also lived during the dinosaur time-period and was (I think) also thought to be extinct....personally I think it's kinda cute lookin'.

And last but not least.... we have the GOBLIN SHARK! Now is it just me or is this, like, the UGLIEST and WIERDEST looking thing ever??!! I picked this particular shark because I had never seen a picture of it...except in a book once. It lives (again, I think) way down in the pitch-black ocean part.

Well that's all for now my faithful readers so until then.....

Hasta Luego(see you later),

Jessica

(PS gelpenprincess commented on my avatar saying that I look 21 years old.....just so you know I'm 15...not 21! Thank You)
