the quiz.

P.S. Hope February was good to you, if not, well, at least it is almost over.
P.P.S. Over in the link is "my daily trivia fix" it's fun, no pop ups for those who care, AND as it is a new month tomorrow you get a practice run through and then can start fresh tomorrow in the standings for the month.

technical difficulties.

Consider yourselves edified.

Our posse

Since stealing from Snav is my lastest thing, here is another idea from her, which she got from somewhere else, etc. The posse is to have 13 members. Here is our posse.

Wesley AKA The Dread Pirate Roberts and Princess Buttercup.

He has MAD skilz! She is not much good in a fight but she swims well and she is awfully cute. Also she does have perfect breasts, considering the shortage in the world that is nothing to sneeze at.

Kim Possible and Rob Stoppable The Alpha Male has a weakness for redheads and the Alpha Female has a weakness for charming neurotics.
Being animated they get to fudge on the rules of physics and such which is a plus.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith

They are a versatile couple, and work well together, not to mention their comedic value.

And better to have them in your posse than in your neighborhood.

Trinity and Neo

They have a simple style, not subtle, but certainly effective.

Charlie and Harriet McKenzie

She is good with a knife and he is quick with the wit,

can't leave them out!

Rin Tin Tin

Strong, heroic, oh yeah, babe, come join my posse!

Scooby Doo

He is a big ole dork, and a fraidy-cat to boot, but he is awful sweet, yeah, he is in.

Last, but not least,

Air Bud He is athletic, gorgeous, and a sweetheart.

I don't blame him for the shirt, it is not his fault.

There you have it, the posse!

It is Friday...

and I have nothing interesting to report.
The Alpha Female and the Things have fled to the west, and slightly north, sort of west by northwest so to speak.
So we are stealing (borrowing, perpetuating, etc.) the fun lil thing Snav did on her blog.
Wish fulfillment with a twist!
For example,

Susie would say...
"I wish I could go to India."
Lime could reply...
"Granted, but you are going freight cargo, in summer.
I wish I was on the beach."
Sar might answer...
"Granted, but it is the beach in Washing ton state, and it is pouring rain.
I wish I had some new shoes."

Etc. etc. etc.
This was TONS of fun on Snav's World, hope it's a good time here.
I will start us out.

I wish I had opposable thumbs.

HNT~ This week's art director...

felt we should do a study in tails.

Unclear on why we are mooning you?

Click the rotating button at the bottom of the links at right.

Happy HNT!

Il Carnevale di Venezia

It is that time of year again!

In Venice they are celebrating Carnival.

Finding a good hotel can be tough.

The water taxis are crowded.

But at St Mark's, the crowd is unbelievable!
At least they are interesting to watch.This is what St Mark's winged lion does in his off-time.
Here is the AM hanging out on a crowded bridge.

And the AF with the apostles.

Here are the authentic carnevale masks purchased for a mere arm and leg in Venice and worn there.

Ahh, la dolce vita!
Buon Carnivale, ya'll!

Tuesday Trivia

Word cloud, stolen idea from the Queen of Quesadillas.

Congratulations to lawyerboy for ANOTHER 100% on the quiz last week.

It was mostly about the AF and the Alpha Male wishes to have it pointed out that if he had chosen the correct age, which he DID know, rather than 21, he would have tied the secret admirer at 80.

And now...

drum roll please...

Your Tuesday Trivia!!

Line up nicely, wait your turn, no pushing and shoving, there is plenty for everyone!

Thanks for coming to play and good luck!

If you don't like the quiz, DONATE QUESTIONS!!

(Weirsdo is exempt from that, she ALWAYS donates, weirsdo is teacher's pet)

It's MEME Monday!

Robin, The Funky Bug, it is Meme Monday!!

Let the festivities commence!

From my list of 101 things about me...

35. I like to cuddle

Thankfully, I live with cuddlers.

So it all works out.

Please have a piece of cake!

Since you can't really e-mail the AF a kayak... instead of that,

go tell her what you REALLY think of her.

Then go soften the blow here.

--------------------------

STUFF PORTRAIT FRIDAY.

How dull are these?

The anal retentive Alpha Male strikes again.

The pots and pans.

Under the bed.

The stereo (that is the thing on the bottom on the top shelf).

There you have it, see, having tidy people in your life makes your cupboards BO-RING!

HNT~ early mornings just don't WORK for some people, ok?!

And trust me, EVERYONE is happier when this is still going on at 6:30 in the mornings around here.

Sleepy HNT to you.

What She Wants Wednesday

Well, as you may have noticed, the Alpha Female as a birthday coming.

Since I know you all love her as much as we do so I thought I would share her wishlist with you,

feel free to go in together on a couple of these if you like.

A beach front villa in Peru, ownership would be nice, but a two week rental is fine.

A lovely pool and muscular attendant for same, 'nuff said.
This is a Dyson, a very nice vacuum, best if paired with...
a full time maid.

Frumpiness is optional, though discouraged.

She would also like a kayak, a rather nice one is on sale locally for just over a grand.
This is a Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic.

She looks really good on this bike.

This is a hybrid Toyota Highlander.
Gas and electric, ooooo, how cool is that?!

The following tub is a small upgrade on the current model.

It has jets and the black would go better with the proposed bathroom make-over.

There is also a lovely electric towel warmer that would look great in there!

So there ya have it, a couple little items to send over before the weekend,

thanks!

P.S. If you've wandered through So We Hijacked A Blog and wondered what the heck that is all about, the story of the origins has been posted.

So it turns out...

the Alpha Male is reasonably fond of the Alpha Female.

This is how he proved that.

Tea

That right, the way to her heart is not chocolates, perfume or jewelry,

it is really good tea.
Oh, and a smartassed card, also important.

This is why he is a keeper!

Trivia Tuesday! Oh, and Happy V-day.

For the true believers,

for the rest of you malcontents

Congrats to Lawyerboy for a perfect score last week!
Honorable mention must go to Doug for a 90, wow.

Thanks to those who contributed questions, especially Snav who donated quite a few in an attempt to make my quiz more female friendly.


Alright, here it is again,
your trivia quiz,
topical,
timely,
hopefully not too traumatic.
Happy Tuesday!

Oh look, it's Monday, that must mean it is time for...

MEME MONDAY!

----------------------------

If Monday is not all about you, go see Robin, and make it so.

51. I hate taking baths.
52. This has not stopped me from hopping into the tub with various family members uninvited.

Now that I am bigger it is easier to get on, and in, the tub. I have to say, for people who are sooooo insistent about me getting in the tub frequently I don't see what their damage is about letting me get in while THEY are in there. I mean, you would not BELIEVE the number of lectures we all hear about sharing, but is the AF willing to share her tub with me?! NO!!

She lets the AM in there with her though, I think this may go back to the discrimination thing, keeping a sister down, I tell you!

Monday's child...

Monday's child is fair of face,

Tuesday's child is full of grace,

Wednesday's child is full of woe,

Thursday's child has far to go.

Friday's child is loving and giving,

Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child born on the Sabbath Day,
Is fair and wise and good and gay.

----------------------------------------------------

I was born on a Friday.

Every other member of this family was born on a Thursday.

The Alpha Male was born on a Thursday in Pennsylvania.

The Alpha Female was born on a Thursday in Washington.

Thing One was born just after noon on a Thursday.

Thing Two just barely made it into Thursday.

They all have FAR to go,

I, on the other hand,

(as you all well know)

am loving and giving.
