Friday Fun Day (Puzzle, List & WotD)
No one else sent me a puzzle for this Friday, so this puzzle comes straight from my own little grey cells (as Hercule Poirot would say). It should be easy.
LIST:
1) Who was your favorite TV character as a child?
2) Name one place/site/region of the world you would most like to float over in a hot air balloon.
3) How many sneezes do you usually sneeze in a row when you sneeze?
4) Have you ever been in life-threatening danger? How did you respond?
5) What myth is currently circulating about you?
Word of the Day which I cannot pronounce: paraskavedekatriaphobia (which means "Fear of Friday the 13th")

4. Yes. I'm happy to report I didn't panic, and went through the correct proceedures to try and get us out of trouble.
5. None, but I can start one if you'd like.
Did you just feel bad for my sad short made-up "long word" last week and are trying to teach me something new?
Ah, damn, the first time I could piece together a puzzle and World beat me to it. I'd like the solve the puzzle anyway. VINCENT VAN GOGH!! Ha!
LIST:
1) Who was your favorite TV character as a child?:
Caine from "Kung Fu" and Face from "The A Team" (I think those are the right names)
2) Name one place/site/region of the world you would most like to float over in a hot air balloon:
The Grand Canyon
3) How many sneezes do you usually sneeze in a row when you sneeze?:
Usually two, and occasionally three.
4) Have you ever been in life-threatening danger? How did you respond?:
Well I choked on a hotdog when I was younger. My mom gave me the heimlich maneuver.
5) What myth is currently circulating about you?:
My manager seems to think I can work overtime at the very last minute.
Happy Friday the 13th!
HA! No, World, I did not feel sorry for you. I rarely if ever feel sorry for you. You appear to be doing quite well in the brains category. However, I was impressed that there is a word for fear of friday the 13th so I posted it as it was conveniently said day.
I'm right there with you on McGyver. Tnat guy could do ANYTHING! I hated seeing that actor on Stargate or whatever show it was. It ruined the mystique for me. : (
I'm curious what your life threatening situation was, but since you won't tell us, perhaps now would be an opportune time to begin your myth. World and his wife and their pet tortoise, Amy, were trapped on a hot air balloon floating over the Amazon Rain Forest and their hot air balloon was caught in a torrential downpour... (ok, somebody else take over from here!)
*bless you*
Tara, I was hoping you might get this one, too, seeing as how it begins with Vincent Price, the Great Grandfather of American Horror. : )
But, I will acknowledge you as an equal solver in that you knew the answer before you clicked on the comments.
Face. I remember Face. He was a handsome, handsome man. Remember how they always had to put Mr. T to sleep before putting him on an airplane. Airplane's were his Kriptonite and sleeping powder was his achilles heel! hehe.
Grand canyon would be awesome. I've only ever seen it from ground level and of course in photos, but it must be breathtaking to float over silently in real life. Let's plan that trip! I'll go with! ; )
I'm a double-sneezer, too! We have SO much in common! Also, I don't want to know what your mother did in your life-threatening situation, but rather what did you do? (besides sit there and not breathe much)
p.s. your boss is wrong.
*bless you, bless you*
Oh, a nice easy one for a change. BTW, did you not get my puzzle submission?
1) Who was your favorite TV character as a child?
The professor on Gilligan's Island. (MacGyver was after my time)
2) Name one place/site/region of the world you would most like to float over in a hot air balloon.
Hmm, probably none. Not keen on heights. Assuming that wasn't a problem, maybe some African savana.
3) How many sneezes do you usually sneeze in a row when you sneeze?
Once. I try not to indulge.
4) Have you ever been in life-threatening danger? How did you respond?
No. Relief.
5) What myth is currently circulating about you?
A while ago, some idiot tried to start a rumor that I was having legal problems. I doubt anyone, other than a few of his fellow idiots, took him seriously.
"..don't want to know what your mother did in your life-threatening situation, but rather what did you do?"
I can't remember much of the choking incident (it was all a blur), but I probably choked, panicked and then since I love hotdogs so much I may have felt sad when the hotdog hit the floor.
(damn blogger - I posted a long comment and it lost it. I'll try again...)
I thought I'd told you about my shipwreck, though maybe it's burried in Multiply or maybe blogger lost the comment then too. Our boat hit rocks at full hull speed out on the Puget Sound in the middle of the night in storm condiditons. The skipper flew down into the hull, and a crew member on the bow nearly launched into the water - she hit the fore rails (damn, forgot the nautical term for those) and managed to stay in the boat. We started taking on water and the power went out.
Up until the moment of the crash we were all acting and reacting poorly - it was the middle of the night in a storm, the port we had tried to get to was full, many of us were sea-sick, and we just wanted to get to the next port to get some sleep. After the moment of the crash, however, we were all calm and efficient, as were those that aided in our rescue. A large ferry found us with it's spotlight, a container ship sent out a low-draft skiff to rescue us and take us to a waiting coast guard ship.
Worldy, I never heard that one. Cool story (especially now after it's over and you made it through and are looking all heroic). Makes me appreciate sea-stories more. They're just exciting by nature, not to mention you get to use a bunch of cool lingo (when you can remember it, that is) ;)
Steve, I did NOT receive your submission! Will you resend?
The pulpit. She was saved by hitting the pulpit. Although the word I was searching for was stanchions (the lines that run from teh pulpit to the pushpit for safety).
Here are some terms. There will be a test.
That I will fail (sigh). Stanchions are actually the posts that the lifelines (what I described before) hang on.
Hey, it's been around 2 years since my last sailing class and I wasn't that good then (did I mention we crashed our boat?).
//Steve, I did NOT receive your submission! Will you resend?//
Re-sent.
