EXPERIMENT: Left Handed For A Week

Yeah, I'm a righty. ...in terms of hands...not politics. If I was a bird you could call me a right winger though.

Nuff of the puns, onto the experimentation!

As the title says, I decided to go left handed for a week, and see how I improved (if at all) from day 1 to day 5!

Parameters? Is that the proper word? Perhaps! They are as follows:

  • Name (Laura D)
  • Capitalized sentence (IS COOL, AT LEAST SOMETIMES!)
  • Shapes (drawn and coloured)
  • A full sentence from the fabulous book "Man In The Rubber Mask" by Robert Llewellyn.
So let's start off with a right hander, just to show how I normally write...


And my first day of left handedness...

At this point I realize if you want to make it look like a child
wrote a note, do it with your left hand.
Or as Bud pointed out, it looks like I'm sitting
in a vibrating chair.
Didn't there used to be vibrating pens in the 90's?
I think there was, what the hell were they called?
Wiggle Pens???
Something like that anyway.

Day 2 of left handedness...

Somehow I went DOWNHILL from day 1!!
How the hell did that happen???

Day 3...


Day 4...


And finally, day 5...


I think I did improve! At least a bit. Still looks like a child wrote it, but maybe the child is a few months older than she was on day 1. Maybe if I practice I can be the new Ned Flanders and open up my very own Leftorium!

Conclusion from this experiment?
Hmm...I don't think we learned a lot. But what we did learn, we shall cherish forever. Such as THE SMALL ROUGE ONE ROCKS!

Thank you for your attention.

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.

Twitter Interview #2 @_dr01d_

For my second ever Twitter Interview, please welcome @_dr01d_ !! This man is so cool, that he even sent me birthday presents one year, which included a hamster birthday card that plays I Feel Good by James Brown. I still have that card. And some days, I even use it to scare and confuse Chino the hamster. Interview time!

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

More than happy. I demand Jelly Beans as payment however!

State your name and purpose:

My name is James and my purpose is make people happy.

What biscuit is King of biscuits? And what biscuit is Prime Minister of biscuits?


There is no king, there is no PM. There is only chocolate hobnobs. Master of the biscuit universe. Plus, Eddie (bottom) keeps a packet in his pocket at all times. What more endorsement do you need?


You just won a years supply! But of what?
 

Are you ill? Jelly beans, of course!

You are playing Monopoly, which piece are you?
 

The dog. Always. Because a dog who owns a waterworks is just the best thing ever - Unlimited hydrants to pee on!!

Fears! What fear would you get rid of and what fear would you replace it with? 

I would vanquish my fear of octopus, and then replace it with a fear of sushi.

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)
 

SKYRIM. - everything is better with mead and magic.

You have just acquired your own tv channel. What existing shows would you buy to show on your channel? And what sort of reality tv show would you create?  

Supernatural - WITHOUT adverts, grr. The entire Bottom back catalogue. Spongebob. Tartan Asia films. And that show where that bearded bloke shows how to do oil paintings on black canvas.
Reality show? hmmm... how about a show where chavs are forced to go to work and stop breeding? "Real Life" it would be called. I'm pretty sure it won't catch on....


Given that god is infinite, and that the universe is also infinite. Would you like a toasted teacake? 

No. And no smeggin' flapjacks either.

Write a 4 line rhyming poem about this interview:

Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue, 

This interview was Fun, 
I'm no good at rhyming.


Complete the sentence:

Twitter needs... Stupidity filters.
 

Caterpillars like when... Shoe shops have a sale on.

I can't remember... How old I am or my DOB like 90% of the time. (seriously, I often need to text people to find out) 

Dominos Pizza helps... me spend money.

My bathroom doesn't have... enough plant life.


Would you rather...

Spend a week as
A) A stuffed animal who can't move unless everyone leaves the room
B) A slowly developing mould on some old bread
C) A fly that everyone is trying to squish


DEFINITELY C - Annoying people is one of my hobbies.


Stand on
A) A slug with just your socks on
B) a pile of nettles with no socks on
C) a painting that just took you an hour to do


B - Coz then my gf can rub soothing cream into my feet and toes. I have a foot thing. (did I say that out loud?)


Be
A) Kicked by a horse
B) Stung by a bee on your eardrum
C) Given the evil eye by a cow who then whispers to his cow friends, who all proceed to give you the evil eye


C - It's all good. I'd just return the next day with a group of friends and some McDonald's meals.


Eat
A) Mashed potatoes from the top of a full and disgusting bin
B) A lollipop after 2 different dogs have licked it and 1 stood on it
C)  A banana that a friendly but drooling monkey just peeled for you

Be
A) Chief engineer
B) Transporter Chief

C) Chief medical officer
D) Security Officer
