...and I'm stealing Donna's five, 'cause I like 'em better than the ones on the Friday Feast!
1. If you could live anyone else's life for one day, fully experiencing their daily joys, sorrows, successes, and failures, whose life would you choose?
2. If the opportunity came to you, would you fly into outer space?
3. If you were a pirate, what would your name be?
4. Is there a summer movie you can't wait to see?
5. Can you believe bottled water is all the rage? Which brand do you prefer?
I'll answer in the comments box, per usual.
1. I would want to live the Pope's life, but only for one day. My shoulders are not broad enough to carry that burden any longer than a day!
2. I wouldn't go into outer space now, 'cause I think I'm too old. But 20 years ago, the answer would have been yes, yes, yes!
3. My pirate name? Marauding Mama, the Terror of the Sea.
4. Well, see #3 above. Pirates of the Caribbean, of course! I already saw The Devil Wears Prada with Smock the other day.
5. Bottled water makes me laugh, because it reminds me of an episode in the old Hercules where the character (can't remember his name) who was always thinking of get-rich-quick schemes came up with the idea--but then rejected it as being too stupid: "Nah. Who'd ever buy in a bottle what they can get at home for free?"
That said, I do buy bottled water when we are out and everyone else gets a soda--I'm trying to give up the diet Cokes, etc, and sometimes bottled water is the only option. But I'm not brand loyal AT ALL.
1. Can't think of any. I'd first have to be ungrateful for the life I have before wanting to try someone else's. On second thought, I'd like to try being a woman for a day just so's I could understand them. Can't think who it would be though. She'd have to be a virgin, because the idea of any man..you know. Wait, I'm still thinking like a man. Well, she'd still have to be a virgin and I don't know any. Except my daughters and I don't want to be them because I don't want to hug their boyfriends.
2. No. Outer space is not a destination.
3. William the Conqueror. Or maybe Black Bill.
4. Don't know of any.
5. Don't drink it. What I do before company arrives is take my wife's empty Zephyr Hills bottles and fill them from the tap. Then I can offer guests bottled water. However, if I'm ever in Mexico...
1. If you could live anyone else's life for one day, fully experiencing their daily joys, sorrows, successes, and failures, whose life would you choose? my own because i've been in a haze for the last, oh twelve months or so, i'd like to go back and actually experience this time i feel like i've missed.
2. If the opportunity came to you, would you fly into outer space? two words: hell. no.
3. If you were a pirate, what would your name be? sassy lass, cap'n o the ss sassy frass.
4. Is there a summer movie you can't wait to see? the lady in the water!
5. Can you believe bottled water is all the rage? Which brand do you prefer? i use it, but i'm not loyal to a brand.
1. If anybody, my fiancée's. But I second Mr. Luse that I would have to be sufficiently ungrateful for my own life first.
2. In my callow adolescence, when I was far more fond of Star Trek than I am now, I would have said "yes." Now, in my callow young manhood, I say "no."
3. Dirty Nick will do.
4. Hell, no.
5a. I don't need to believe. I see it with my own eyes. :)
5b. I have no brand loyalty, but then I don't often drink bottled water.
MamaT -- I was going to say the pope, but then I thought: me and about a million other Catholics. So I went with someone else. Anyway, I answered these at my blog.
1. my husbands. i always wonder why he is him.
2. no
3. aishy
4. superman, devil wears prada
5. i like bottled water. i'm not a brand snob, kroger brand is fine with me. when we lived in arlington i drank the tap water just fine, but fw's doesn't taste as good.
1. My slightly-pre-pubescent daughter
2. Yes yes yes -- but only after my kids are launched into their own lives. I also plan to buy a motorcycle at that time.
3. The Roaring Forty-Something
4. No.
5. It sure is convenient, which is why I buy it, but only the cheapest.
1. If you could live anyone else's life for one day, fully experiencing their daily joys, sorrows, successes, and failures, whose life would you choose? My husband, so I could understand him better.
2. If the opportunity came to you, would you fly into outer space? Yes, if my children were a little older.
3. If you were a pirate, what would your name be? reeree the sloppy
4. Is there a summer movie you can't wait to see?I am looking forward to the Pirates of the Carribean sequil.
5. Can you believe bottled water is all the rage? Which brand do you prefer? As a treat, I get the Fiji water. Expensive, delicious, pretty bottle. Also like Trader Joe's Italian mineral water, $.99 a bottle, pretty blue glass bottle, delicious in plain, lemon or lime. Yummy
