Crayola Gear and a Neopet

 

My brand new crayola gear!! I will be keeping the yellow felt tip 

far away from the black.

Crayola tower of crayons! As you can see, these have been

used before.

And here is my first drawing using the pens and pencils.

It's a Meerca!!!

Oh the nostalgia.

Twitter Re-Interview #29 with @Boots_33

 A VERY exciting re-interview for me today!

As it's with my best pal in all the whole wild world (and yes,

I did say whole WILD world, it's damned wild out there!

...okay it was a typo to start with)

my bestest percent pal @Boots_33!!

Read on and you'll love him just as much as I do...

but not more! That's not allowed. Sorry.

Are you happy to participate in this re-interview or are you doing it against your will?
I will accept an interview as many times as I get them. :)

In what way has your life changed since your last Twitter Interview? I assume you now get recognized on the streets, is this a bother to you?
If I was employed last time, that has changed, as I am once again not. I don't mind the recognition, though. I just wish they didn't kick me.

You just won ANOTHER years supply! But of what?
Girl Scouts Thin Mints-flavored coffee creamer. Love the stuff.

Hey Arnold, Doug, Rocko or Catdog?
Probably Doug. It had the catchiest theme song.

You got drunk last night and have no recollection of that brand new tattoo on your forearm. What would be the most embarrassing thing it could say?
True Belieber

What number am I thinking of?
It's not really a number, but more of a percentage. :)

If you could get rid of any tv channel, which would it be?
TruTV. Nothing on that channel is remotely truthful. Horrendous.

Complete the Sentence:

Rub a dub dub...Percent Pals 4 lyfe, bub.

The worst thing to put on a pizza is...shards of glass

At 7pm, I usually can be found...quite easily. I'm a big dude. It's tough for me to hide.

Gorillas can be scary, but not scarier than...edible underwear.

My computer likes...soft, candlelit dinners.

Would You Rather...

Rather
A) Give a gift
B) Receive a gift
C) Both
Give. Easily.

Be eaten by
A) A dastardly lion
B) 100 ravenous worms
C) 2 sneaky rats wearing top hats and proclaiming you to be "an acquired taste"
A lion, because then I can claim that I was a feast worthy of kings.

Dance without moving your
A) Feet
B) Arms
C) Head
All of the above, cuz I'm a terrible dancer.

Have a cartoonist draw you
A) On a bad hair day
B) In the nude
C) Merrily digging a grave
C – It would be his final drawing.

Have to
A) Eat a burrito with a ton of sour cream on it
B) Spend a whole day with Donald Trump
Surprisingly, B. I might have to listen to Trump spew his nonsense for a day, but he could buy me a crapload of delicious untainted burritos and I would eat every single one of them. Sour Cream is the devil's disgusting invention.

Draw a picture of yourself as a happy percent sign. Be as detailed as you wish.

Twitter Interview #27 with @destroy_robots

 Our 27th interview is with the very cool

@destroy_robots!
Spoiler alert: he'd actually

not like us to destroy any robots as they're pretty cool.

Read on for more shocking developments!

Are you happy to participate in this interview or are you doing it against your will?
I am happy to do it, however if I was forced, I wouldn't say so obviously, or I might not like the consequences!

State your name and purpose:
Nick. My purpose is to live, and love.

The Simpsons, King of the Hill or Futurama?
Futurama without a doubt. It has lots of robots in it, and despite my twitter handle, I personally think robots are pretty cool.

You just won a years supply! But of what?
Free wishes. However if that wasn't possible, beer.

Kelloggs are getting tired of Tony the Tiger and his huge ego. They ask you to come up with a new mascot for them. What's your mascot's name and species?
I think Kellogs should dump Tony and go for someone younger. Tony's huge ego is only the result of royalties which have paid for his mansion, where he lives the typical rich animal lifestyle, snorting sugar off a deer's bosom.

If you could spend the day traveling through a real life version of a game, which game would you choose? (Video and/or Board game)
I'd have a go at Super Mario, any of the games I guess. Sure stomping on enemies is effective, but has Mario ever tried talking to them in a civilised manner? Perhaps the Goombas are very reasonable, and eager to listen to facts about their boss, Bowser. Not sure about a board game.

You receive a message to come to a secret location, at a secret time. You are told no more than this. What do you do, given that they did not specify the location or time? Also, who sent that message?
I would do nothing. Maybe check a map for a place called "Secret Location".


Complete the Sentence:

My face often looks like... death

Cats are the worst at... cooking

I'd like rainbows better if... they were brighter

My kitchen always contains... me eating

The best bet is... not to gamble


Would You Rather...

Spend an hour being
A) Confused
B) Curious
C) Delirious
Curious wouldn't be that bad, especially if you know its only for an hour.

For a week eat only
A) Fruit
B) Vegetables
C) Cereal
Fruit. Done it before.

Call a toilet
A) The john
B) The loo
C) The lavatory
D) W.C
E) The bog
F) Eff off, it's called a toilet!
g- the dunny! (I am an Aussie after all)

Star in
A) A cowboy movie
B) A sci-fi movie
C) A super hero movie
B or C would be fine, hard to pick. I love Sci-Fi, but then I'd love to be in a super hero movie. C.

Wear
A) A tie as a belt and a belt as a tie, for a day
B) A bowtie, bowler hat and monocle for a month
B. Definitely B.

Twitter Interview #23 @PhilScowcroft

 Our 23rd Twitter Interview is with @PhilScowcroft!

I actually poached him from @80sNostalgia's interviews,

so he's used but in excellent condition.

OH AND HE'S A DWARFER!!!!

Are you happy to participate in this interview or are you doing it against your will?

It’s against my will, but that’s just pure coincidence. I don’t know why I got it out anyway. It doesn’t even get read out until after I’ve died. I’ve put it away again.

State your name and purpose:

Hi comrades. My name is Phil, and my purpose? I’m an advertising producer and in charge of the music we play at 96.5 Bolton FM: a tiny radio station in the sunny Northwest of England.

What is the best soda?

Crystals. They’re great for unblocking sinks and general cleaning. Try it, you’ll never look back.

Aladdin is letting you borrow his magic carpet for the day. Where do you fly to? And would you rather take Jasmine or Abu with you?

I’d tell him thanks, but I’d decline to take either of them. Abu would probably just jump all over me and be generally annoying, whereas Jasmine would sit there in a sulk because I’m not taking her where she wants to go. If I’ve been loaned a flying carpet, I’d go where I want to go. Where would that be? Probably to a carpet shop and ask if I could speak to the Manager about it.

They've taken Mr Rimmer. Sir! They've taken Mr Rimmer! What do you do?

Quick! Let’s get out of here before they bring him back!!

If you could spend the day traveling through a real life version of a game, which game would you choose? (Video and/or Board game)

It wouldn’t be Monopoly. I’d soon get fed up with that because it goes on forever. I used to LOVE playing Chuckie Egg 2 on the ZX Spectrum, so I’d probably be Henhouse Harry. I’d just have to be careful that I grabbed on to the ropes and didn’t slide down to my death on a pod that blows bubbles.

The sun or the moon? Who has a better reputation?

The moon. People can just stare at it in wonder, and we’ve visited it, which you can’t do with the sun; you’d just go blind and burn up respectively. Plus, it’s one or the other with some people and the sun. They either love it and sit in it all day, or they moan about it being out again because it’s ‘Too Hot’ and do anything to get out of being in it generally.

If you had to be repeatedly kicked by a kitten, what would you like that kitten's name to be? And what colour fur would he have?

I’d just never be in that situation. Now THAT reminds me of the giant kitten in The Goodies from the 1970s. I wouldn’t want to be within ten miles of something that had grown to that size.

Complete the sentence:

My school was the worst for... years, until it got a newer, more strict head.

The postman should...stop regenerating. I’m sure he’s getting to the end of his allocated lives.

Crackers are useful for...nothing really. Never seen the point of them. *BANG* (if it happens), rubbish joke, end. Then someone has to tidy them up.

I used to like...everything I like now. The only thing I won’t do now, is tape the top 40. No point really, AND Woolworths has closed, so I can’t buy tapes any more.

Seagulls need to...try a supermarket’s own mini-cheddars. They’ll never know the difference.

Would you rather...

Spend a week as

A) A Teletubby of your choice

B) Barney the Dinosaur

C) Bear in the Big Blue House

None. I don’t like dressing up. Plus, that Tubby Custard machine needs looking at. It’s dangerous.

Be trapped inside

A) A spring roll

B) A sausage roll

C) A ravioli

If I ever came across a sausage roll that was bigger than me, I’d gladly step inside and close the door.

Lose your sense of

A) Smell

B) Timing

C) Fashion

Of all three, Fashion. If you lose your sense of smell, you can’t taste, so I’d never enjoy a curry again. I just couldn’t possible imagine losing my sense of timing either. I need that to function in my job. So, fashion it has to be, and judging by some fashions out there at the moment, who’d actually care?

Have to have a nice conversation with

A) A very insulting monkey

B) A know it all meerkat

C) A plant who won't let you get a word in edge wise

I’ve had conversations with A and B already, or people who look like them, so it’d have to be C. And the ONLY one I’d want to talk to is the Aspidistra from The Adventure Game.

Have

A) Antlers

B) Rabbit Ears

C) A lovely mane

All three. I’d call myself a Lioneerbit. The mane would annoy me though, especially in summer, so there’d have to be a caveat that I could shave it off.

Draw a picture of yourself doing your best dance move. Be as detailed as you wish.

Here’s me doing my best dance move. Unfortunately, I’m in the room to the left of this picture as it’s a wedding buffet room I’ve drawn, I’m at the wedding, but in the function room next door. There’s a good spread on. It’s drawn on the back of an eBay receipt.

Twinkies because it’s the best introduction to our superficial, self-destructive culture.

Trivial Pursuit would provide endless possibilities for going places and meeting famous people.

Popcorn and Truffle salt

Let him fight, Rather than going, I'll watch it on Pay-per-View, I'll cheer him on, but I'll never tell him that - I guess the signs would say 'Don't lead with your face' and possibly 'take a dive' 

The war on women, the war on Christmas, the war on drugs. Which is the best? 

I'm anti-christmas, much like the grinch, before the highly-unrealistic ending, not fan of the ending. 

If you could spend the day traveling through a real life version of a game, which game would you choose? (Video and/or Board game)

C) An emotionally unstable Popeye (This would be tiresome - him yammering about what he yis, and wanting yams, that would be too much for me) 

You just lost your hand in a horrific marbles championship. You request that your hand be:

A) Frozen (I hate being cold)

B) Stuffed (with what?, can I get it stuffed with Hostess Twinkie Cream?)

Twitter Interview #17 @emileewhemilee

 Our 15th Twitter Interview is with the very funny mummy @emileewhemilee!!

I swear, she is one of the nicest people on Twitter and you should follow her right this second. It's Friday so consider it an #FF!

Are you happy to participate in this interview or are you doing it against your will? 

I am very happy to comply with this interview. 

State your name and purpose:

My name is Emily Riner and I am still not 100% certain of my purpose. The fun part is finding that out, right? I am, however, currently the owner/operator of a home-daycare, mother of 2 children, step-mother to 1, caretaker of many pets, and wife to an amazing man.

What is the funniest feeling?

The funniest feeling is watching my kids grow old and act exactly like me, and what I assume my husband acted like as a child. It’s like a glimpse into the past.

Shaggy, Velma, Fred or Daphne? Who would you rather ghost hunt with?

Shaggy, for sure! He and Scooby always had the most fun, even if they were the ones to get caught by the ghost and held as ransom. They would make me laugh the entire time, which is important since I am terrified of ghosts and spirits. Well evil ones anyway.

You just won a years supply! But of what?

The first thing that came to mind was milk! We drink between 3-6 gallons a week and a year’s supply would be wonderful. My brain is incapable of thinking of a non-essential item; sadly this is a casualty due to my adulthood responsibilities.

You just discovered a 3 foot monster living in your house. He asks you for asylum to continue living there. What do you tell him? And what do you name him?

It would have to be a cute monster, like one of Monster’s Inc, and I would tell him yes as long as he kills all spiders that he encounters. I would name him Frank, a good practical name.

Make a motto using the following letters LNIOS (an acronym, if you will)

Love

Not

Indifferent

Onion

Slime

If you could spend the day traveling through a real life version of a game, which game would you choose? (Video and/or Board game)

Candy land! The worst thing that can happen to you in that game is you get stuck in the Molasses Swamp and have to eat your way out. Definitely my type of lifestyle: Candy for everyone!

An 80 yr old man asks you how the internet works. Explain the internet using a series of lies.

I would explain that the internet is made up and doesn’t actually exist. It is a government conspiracy, much like the first man walking on the moon. He must point and yell at whoever tells him differently because they are trying to brainwash him.

Complete the sentence:

An ant can jump higher than me but I can...squish his ass.

No cupboard in my house contains...bat brains. We have everything else.

More reality shows would be...a travesty to mankind.

I have the greatest...guinea pig in the world!

Cheese usually...is double fisted by my 4 year old.

Would you rather...

Be walking down the street and

A) Get splashed by 3 passing cars in a row

B) Have a small child run up to you, kick your shin then run away giggling

C) Realize you can understand what ants on the sidewalk are saying to each other, but that they are saying bad things about you

B) It happens to me daily and really isn’t that bad once you get used to it.

Rinse your mouth with mouthwash that tastes like

A) Dog poo

B) Cat pee

C) Mint...but then realize someone else just spat that stuff back in the bottle

C) Mint. I’m sure that the mouthwash chemicals would kill their germs before they infected me. Also, it would have most likely been one of my kids or my husband that spat it back in the bottle. I already am subjected to them on a daily basis, so it wouldn’t be so bad. I definitely would puke at A & B!

Spend an hour

A) With a tiny dog that is non-stop yapping

B) Having an imaginary tea party with a 5 yr old girl

C) Have a tea party with THE ACTUAL TEA PARTY

B) Again, that is something that is pretty normal here. Kids say some amazing things when you take the time to listen :-)

Get caught

A) Stealing cookies from the cookie jar

B) Stealing rookies from the rookie jar

C) What is a rookie jar?

C) What in the world is a rookie jar? Is it full of athletes? I’d def steal some rookies out of that jar ;)

You killed Professor Plum in

A) The Ballroom

B) The Billiard Room

C) The Conservatory

B) There are more weapons handy in the Billiard Room.

Please explain why you killed Professor Plum and tell us which weapon you used (anything you say may be held against you in a court of law)

I caught Professor Plum trying to steal my candy, so he had to go. I did it with a pool stick, smashed that old boy’s head right on in. But in all seriousness, I did not kill anyone and have a very solid alibi for that night.

Draw a picture of yourself if you were a bunny rabbit. Be as detailed as you wish.

 She merges reality with imaginary, look at that!

And as I said, it's Friday so go follow her...
