1. If you were able to select who won this years best picture Oscar which picture would have received it?  I don’t know who the nominees were, but I would have probably picked Walk the Line.

2. If you were to have ten more kids what would you name them?  Sawyer, Kennedy, Reagan, and Reese, for girls.  Cooper and Jack for boys.  That still leaves me with four more.  Probably Dru (girl), Griffin (boy), Sullivan (boy), and Cutler (boy).

3. What do you think of the Honky Tonk Badonkadonk?  It’s pretty much as appalling as Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy was. 

4. What celebrity makes you the angriest?  Paris Hilton because of her complete disregard for “reality.”  She has no idea what it’s like to not have money or “connections”.

5. What is your favorite thing about Glanzer’s website?  I look forward to Mom’s column, and wish she’d submit them more frequently.

6. What do you want to do when you grow up?  In a perfect world, I’d do absolutely nothing.  Calvin would have a high-paying job and I could sit by my pool, sipping cocktails all day long.

7. Would you spend 5 years with an eccentric toy maker knowing that after the experience your family would be financially stable for at least 30 years?   Oh, undoubtedly yes, as long as I could still see my family.

8. What is your favorite board game?  Chutes and Ladders

9. What is your favorite Terrence Howard movie?  I’ve heard of the man, but I don’t know of any movies he has acted in.

10. What do you think of when I say wasted talent?  Jessica Simpson -- she actually has some talent beneath her ever-growing breasts, but she got caught up in being a sex symbol, and now she’s more concerned about waxing a car in her high heels than producing a good record.

11. What is your greatest achievement in sports?  I’d say when I went for the cycle during goofy golf at Ryan’s first annual Carpenter Bash

12. Have you ever listened to the Huey Lewis and the News album Sports?  I have never even heard of it.

13.  What is the craziest hand of online poker you have ever seen?  I don’t make it a point to contribute to the recent poker craze.

14. Who do you think will win the lottery first, Ryan or Grandma Bell?  Ryan, without a doubt.  He’s the luckiest person I know of.

15. How comfortable would you be with Calvin pursuing a career in the clergy?  I think it would be a bit uncomfortable.  Are they allowed to be married??

16. What would your last meal be?  I’d start off with some cheesecake; then I’d eat a pan of brownies with thick chocolate frosting, followed by a plate of cookies and a bowl of ice cream.  I’d wash it all down with some Diet Coke, because I would have to consume something that wasn’t full of calories.

17. I once put a piece of cheese in Glanzer’s mouth when he was sleeping, what is the meanest thing you have done to him?  I’d say when I maimed him after he sat down at the piano to play his infamous “song” that he made up.  I may have actually hurt him.

18. What is your favorite song to play on the piano?  I enjoy playing the song, “Bless the Broken Road”

19. Would you be a professional sandpaper for $75,500 a year?  I would be willing to give it a shot

20. Have you ever dined and dashed?  No, I just couldn’t bring myself to do that. 

21. What is your favorite television show?  Gilmore Girls.  It’s the only one I really hate to miss.  I have always hoped that some day, Peyton and Emerson and I will be able to participate in such witty banter.

22. Why do you think so many professional bowlers are balding?  I would assume it’s because they are so old.

23. How many hours a week do you play darts?  I’d be pretty accurate if I guessed zero.

24. Have you ever tried the soda Tab?  No, I’m not attracted to generic sodas.

25. Have you ever finished a Sudoku?  I don’t even know what one is.

26.  How many times a day do you cuss?  Roughly 20.  I tend to swear a lot, and Peyton is picking up on it.  I need to quit.

27. What is your earliest memory?  I had to think about this one for a while, but I think it’s when Mom sat Ryan and I down and told us that she was going have a baby.  She asked if we’d rather have a brother or a sister, and, of course, I was let down when I didn’t get my baby sister.

28. Rank your grammar on a scale of 1 to 5.   4 ½  I am, by no means, perfect, but I try to be grammatically correct.  I am very picky about others’ grammar, too.  I correct people quite often.

29. Were you ever a fan of the Pet Shop Boys?  I was not, as I have never heard of them.

30. What is your favorite Steve Buscemi film?  Again, Jason, I have no idea of whom you speak.

31. What do you think of when I say electric fetus?  The first thing that comes to mind is a machine that would keep a fetus alive during a medical procedure. 

32. Do you ever forget what you were watching during the commercials?  Yes, I do quite often.  I will get caught up in something else and just forget what channel I was on.

33. What is your favorite memory from 1998?  I would have been in the 8^th grade.  It probably would have been the time that my friend, Alese, and I decided to go on a scavenger hunt through Huron, taking pictures of boys we thought were cute and giggling all the way.

34. How many professional baseball games have you attended?    I think 3.  I know for sure that I went to a Royals game with the Glanzer family many years ago.  I also attended another Royals game when I was a 7^th or 8^th grader en route to St. Louis.  I have also been to a Twins game, although I don’t recall if I’ve been to two, or just the one.

35. What was the funniest lecture your dad gave you?  I believe it went something like this:  “God damnit!  Didn’t you see that the nozzle was still attached to your car when you took off?!?!?!”  *I had driven away from the gas pump at home without first removing the nozzle.  It stretched for a ways, but didn’t quite make it all the way to school.

36. What would be your ideal tattoo?  If I had to get one, I’d like to have a tiny little Care Bear for each of my girlies.

37. How many of the 50 states have you been to?  I am estimating 17.  It could be more or less, but I’m not like Ryan in that respect.  It doesn’t interest me to keep tabs on things such as that.

38. Would you be comfortable with Peyton participating in a foreign exchange student program?  I don’t think I would like it, but if she was adamant about traveling somewhere else, I’d probably give in.  As long as it was Ireland or Australia. . . Then I would visit her often.

39. Have you ever woken up and said “I want to be a ordinary scientist”?  That hasn’t happened yet, but I wouldn’t rule it out from ever happening.

40. What do you think the chances of you and Brandon Hanson seeing a movie together are?  Well, considering I haven’t seen or heard from him in about 3 years, I’d say slim to none.  One must also factor in that I haven’t been to a movie since Cold Mountain came out several years ago.

41. Have you ever won a coloring contest?  Yes, I won at least one at school.  But we had coloring contests at home a lot, too, and Mom’s pictures would always be the best.  I’d take one look at her masterpiece and start to cry because of my poor excuse for a picture.  Mom would swoop in with her black crayon and “fix” my picture so it looked like I hadn’t colored outside the lines.

42. What do you think of when I say fair assessment?  I’d think of somebody asking me for my opinion on a third party.  I would tell them my response, and the asker of the question would respond, “That’s a pretty fair assessment of ____________.”

43. Do you ever vote for a video on TRL?  No.  The one time I ever tuned in to the show, I was turned off by all of the screaming.  It just didn’t appeal to me.

44. Why in the hell do people sometimes paint just the one pinky black like Carson Daly?  I have never seen anyone participate in this trend, but I suppose it is just that:  a trend.  He obviously thinks it is worth subscribing to.

45. Have you ever watched a whole episode of the Tyra Banks show?  Yes, I have watched one or two.  I really like America’s Next Top Model, so if she’s interviewing anyone from previous seasons, I’ll tune in.

46. Would you sit through the movie Man-Thing for $3.00?  I don’t know what that movie is, but I suppose I’d be willing to give it the old college try.

47. What was the first alcohol you purchased?  If memory serves me correctly, I believe Alese and I giggled as we shelled out cash to an of-age friend, who went and bought us a Sex on the Beach.

48. Do you think Nick is glib?  No.  I would use many adjectives to describe Nick, but glib wouldn’t be among them.

49. What word do you wish you could bring up in conversation more?  Definitely frick.  I use it a lot in my day-to-day life, but it hasn’t been incorporated into the school setting yet.

50. Who is your favorite Wiggle?  Anthony, hands down. 

51. Have you ever installed a clapper?  No.  In fact, I don’t even know of anyone who owns a clapper.

52. Have you ever met an Eskimo?  Not that I am aware of.

53. What is your favorite reality show?  Pretty much every show I watch is a reality show.  I love What Not to Wear, Survivor and American Idol, though. 

54. Would you be mayor of Carpenter for $12,000 dollars and the option to declare Martial Law for 30 days?  I’d jump at the chance!

55. Which celebrity would make the best President?  Oprah

56. What do you think of when I say awkward pause?  I think of talking to Ryan on the phone.  Our conversations seem to always be laced with awkward pauses. . . Although I don’t believe I’m alone on that one.

57. If gay marriage were allowed and Glanzer and I stopped the bullshit and admitted our true feelings would you support us?  Absolutely.  I think you’d make a beautiful couple!

58. Would you box a kangaroo for $1,000?  No.  I seriously have an enormous fear of marsupials.

59. Have you ever listened to a Radio Head album?  If I did, I did so without my knowledge.

60. When was the last time you went down a waterslide?  It would have been some time before I was pregnant with Peyton.  I would guess 2002.

61. Do you ever just mouth the words when a group is singing the happy birthday song?  I actually do that all the time, especially in a large crowd.  I’m not a fan of my singing voice.

62. How much would you pay to see Faith Hill in concert?  No more than $5.00.  She just doesn’t do anything for me.

63. Would you ever join a jogging club?  If I had any athletic ability what-so-ever I might, but as it stands, I can’t even jog ½ a block without feeling the urge to vomit.

64. What would be the reason that you would be in the Guinness Book of world records?  I’d like it to be mass consumptions of chocolate in one sitting.

65. What do you think of competitive eating?  I think it’s a bit disgusting.  Just the whole aspect of dunking a hot dog bun in water to aid in its quick ingestion is unappealing to me.

66. What do you think of when I say obscurity to stardom?  I don’t really know how to respond to that one.  The phrase doesn’t make sense to me.

67. Have you ever wrote a letter to a magazine?  It should be “written”, and no I have not.

68. If you were to go scuba diving which sea would it be in?  Is the Caribbean a sea?  I’m not good at geography.

69. Without looking do you know what SCUBA stands for?  Self contained underwater breathing apparatus.  You can thank Dick Glanzer for helping me with that one!

70.  How well do you think you would do on Jeopardy?  I’d do very poorly.  I’d probably be the person everyone laughs at, because I’d have a negative amount of money.

71. When you pass away do you want your surviving friends and family to toast you with champagne every year on your birthday?  I think it would be a nice gesture.

72. Have you ever cried at a movie?  Yes, on numerous occasions.  The one that never ceases to make me cry is the Notebook. 

73. Have you ever sunk a three pointer in a basketball game?  I don’t believe I ever attempted to.  I was always the tall girl, so my job consisted of standing directly under the basket and putting forth very little effort. 

74. What is your favorite girl scout cookie?  The mint and chocolate one.  Aren’t they called Grasshoppers?

75. Would you like to have a dinosaur or a planet named after you?  I’d prefer a dinosaur, since Peyton thinks they’re cool.  I’d be Jordanoraptor Rex

76. Would you like to have a doctor that makes house calls?  Funny you should ask about this, because I have discussed this with my doctor before.  You have no idea how little sense it makes to take a sick child out in the cold, only to sit in a room filled with other sick people.  The doctor agreed, but wasn’t willing to come and visit us just yet.

77. Would you like to experience 15 minutes of fame?  No, I try to avoid being in the public eye.  It’s crazy that Ryan and I share parents, isn’t it?

78.  If Sugar Ray releases another album would you consider buying it?  No.  Not only because I’m not a fan of their music, but because I think CD’s are too high-priced.

79. Do you think the Guinness or Red Bull commercials are funnier?  Guinness are definitely funnier.  When Peyton was just learning to talk, Calvin had her say, “Brilliant!”, so I am quite partial to those ones.

80. Have you ever purchased Vanity Fair?  Not that I can recall.

81. Would you like to be a wine expert?  No, I’m just not a big wine person.

82. Do you think Calvin will place ahead of me in Fantasy Baseball?  Of course I should support my husband and say yes, but he is quite a busy man these days, and he may not have the time to dedicate to a winning team.

83. If your neighbors asked you to participate in some caroling would you go?  I would, but as I answered in a previous question, I would just mouth the words.

84. Have you ever read a Nancy Drew mystery?  I don’t think I have, but as a youngster, I read some awesome Sweet Valley High mysteries. 

85. What sports jersey would you like to own?  One that Kevin Garnett has worn during a game. 

86. Do you plan on being a Sunday School teacher?  If asked, I wouldn’t turn down the position.  Peyton will be of age to attend Sunday school next year, and it might be a fun time.

87. Do you know a joke that gets a laugh every time?  I’m not good at joke-telling.  I can make Mom laugh, though, at the mere mention of certain things.

88. Have you ever been so mad at a teacher that you honestly considered hitting them?  Oh, absolutely.  I won’t name names, but if it weren’t illegal, I could have had one of my high school teachers in a full body cast.

89. Would you enjoy hosting a game show?  I’d prefer hosting to being a contestant.

90. Have you ever purchased any of those expensive Paul Newman grocery products?  Doesn’t Paul Newman make salad dressing?  If so, then yes, I believe I have.

91. In a one on one interview how much could you tell me about the theory of relativity?  I could tell you very little.  You probably know more that I do on the subject. 

92. Would you suck on Bill Gates toes for one hour for $5,000,000?  Without hesitation!!!

93. Do you have a membership to Sam’s Club?  No, and I don’t intend to.

94.  When you retire would you like to be one of those greeters at Wal-Mart?  I’m 100% against Wal Mart and everything it stands for.  I would turn them down if they offered me the job.

95.  Were you ever a big fan of a professional wrestler?  I have never watched it.  I recall that Alex was a fan, and I could never understand why he found it appealing.

96. If I had a booger hanging from my nose would you tell me?  Yes, I would, if nobody else would step forward.

97. What is the longest you have ever spent on the internet?  I’d say easily 4 hours.  I don’t know what for, but I sometimes just get hooked and I can’t leave.

98. Have you ever watched a cat give birth?  I don’t have a clear memory of such an occurrence, but I wouldn’t doubt that I have. 

99. How many words can you type a minute?  I’ve never timed myself, but I do believe I’m faster than average at typing.

100. Have you ever completed the computer game Oregon Trail?  I used to play it back in the 4^th grade, when computers were a novelty.  However, I don’t believe I completed the whole game.

101. Have you ever rode in a fire engine?  The correct word would be “ridden” and yes, I have.

102. Have you ever flushed a goldfish down the toilet?  Oh, let’s not delve too deeply into this one.  We lost 9 goldfish in a matter of 2 weeks just recently.  It still makes me shudder. . .

103. Have you ever considered a cartoon a role model?  I can’t think of one right now, but I’ll come back to this question if I do think of anybody.

104. Would you attend a all day film festival that I picked the films for?  I think it would be a lot of fun, as you seem to be quite the movie buff.  I think you would select a good assortment of films I would never have thought of watching.

105. Have you ever worn a neck tie?  Yes, but only briefly.  I am quite proficient at tie tying. 

106. Who will win the World Baseball Classic?  Do separate countries compete in this?  If so, I’d say Mexico. 

107. Have you ever completed a crossword puzzle?  I do them whenever I have a People magazine at my disposal.

108. Do you believe in March Madness?  I don’t believe in televising sports of any kind, as they tend to disrupt my normal TV viewing. 

109. What was your favorite childhood toy?  I have been known to carry around my “blankie” and my “clownie”.  There are very few pictures of me, up to the age of 5 or 6, where one or the other wasn‘t present.

110. Are you a fan of Arrested Development?  I haven’t seen it, but I’m sure Ryan will change that eventually.

111. Have you ever read a Playboy cover to cover?  No, I can say that I haven’t had that pleasure.

112. How many books do you read in a year?  If we’re including children’s books, I would say something like 2,000.  Peyton and I read several books a day.  If we’re talking books with words, then probably close to ten.  I don’t have a chance to read as much as I’d like.

113. Would you like to finish the day by looking at a transcript of everything you said during the day?  It would be interesting, but I’d probably get frustrated at myself for saying stupid things.

114. Do you prefer breakfast or regular burritos?  Regular burritos.  I don’t like eggs.

115. If you made more than a million a year would you hire a personal assistant?  I think I’d be more apt to hire a live in chef or nanny.

116. What do you think of when I say cooking the books?  I think of leaving the word “the” out, and having cook books, which I use quite often.

117. Kenan or Kel?  Kel.  He was always funnier, and much better looking than Kenan.

118. Do you think it is racist that both Kenan and Kel show up as errors on spell check?  I do indeed.

119. When was the last time you operated a typewriter?  It would have been before we got our first computer.  Maybe something like 1993?  I don’t know the exact date.

120. What was the last thing you won at a auction?  I don’t attend auctions in real life, but I do eBay quite frequently.  The last thing I won was a dress from Gymboree for my little Emerson to wear.

121. Have you ever been hurt by a mousetrap?  No.  I’m quite afraid of being hurt by them, so I tend to keep my distance.

122. What do you think of when I say read a river?  I think of two old men in a boat out on a river.  They are trying to fish, but aren’t having much luck, so one asks the other to “read the river” to him, and predict where they should move to.

123. Would you rather see Wayne Newton or Donna Summer in concert?  I really don’t like Wayne Newton, so I would choose Donna Summer by default.

124. If 912 North Egan actually became a weekly show would you make sure to see it every week?  I would even invest in a DVR so that I’d make sure not to miss an episode.

125. Would you sport a Mohawk for one year for $120,000?  No, I couldn’t do that to myself.  I think my dignity is worth more than $120,000. 

126. Would you like to have a watermelon garden?  If I could be guaranteed that every watermelon would be a “good” one. 

127. Have you ever wrote a sonnet?  (again with the grammar, LaPlant.  It’s written)  I may have written one in 6^th grade English.  Our teacher had us write all kinds of poems. 

128. Doritos or Oreos?  Oreos

129. What is your favorite Pauly Shore movie?  Son in Law  (I actually knew one!)

130. Would you like to participate in Jury Duty?  I’ve actually declined already on numerous occasions.  I wouldn’t mind it, though, if it was absolutely necessary.

131. What do you think of when I say one time only?  I think of somebody asking somebody out on a date, and saying that their offer is a one-time-only thing.  There’s no reasoning behind it; it’s just what popped into my head.

132. Would you see a Boy Meets World movie in the theater?  Yes, and I’d ask you to escort me, seeing how we both enjoy the show.

133. What was the best finale you ever saw for a television show?  Dawson’s Creek.  It’s my second favorite show of all time, and I cried the first few times I watched the finale. 

134. Who will win American Idol?  I can’t be sure yet.  I really liked Will, but he was voted out this week.  Now I have to reassess the participants.  

135. What was the last 800 number you dialed?  It would have been the 800 number for Gymboree.  I was having a difficult time ordering some things online. 

136. What is your favorite brand of frozen pizza?  Digiorno  (spelling?)

137.  If you were going to adopt a baby from a foreign country which country would it be?  Ireland.  I just have a thing with Ireland. 

138. What movie monster scares you the most?  All of them!  I absolutely can not watch scary movies.  It just doesn’t happen.  The absolute worst would be the inbred freaks on the movie Wrong Turn.  Only because it’s very believable that they really do exist.

139.  What do you think of when I say racial tolerance?  Tolerating other races without really accepting them. 

140. Would you take a bullet for Patrick Lynch?  If it was life-threatening, I don’t think I would.  If it was going to be something that would hurt, but not kill me, I’d consider it. 

141. Are you better at making omelets of political satire?  Do you mean “or”??  I’d say omelets, as I don’t follow politics too closely.

142. Are you comfortable sporting a bandana?  Yes, I’m not afraid to look like a biker chick, I guess.

143.Who would win at a game of chess between us?  Definitely me.  I seem to kick some major frick when it comes to chess.

144. Do you find Morgan Freeman’s voice soothing?  I do.  It’s one of the major reasons I enjoy the movie March of the Penguins so much.  His voice is very engaging.

145.  Would you have any interest in attending the Iowa Caucuses?  No.  I think the South Dakota Caucuses would be bad enough.

146. Have you ever experienced a epiphany?  (an epiphany)  I don’t really think so.  After I saw The Green Mile in theaters, I momentarily thought I would become a better person.  It hasn’t happened yet.

147. What is the farthest you have skipped a stone?  Once, at most.

148. In three words describe what the experience would be like if we went to a day spa together?  Rejuvenating, humorous, enjoyable.

149. How would you choose to live the last year of your life?  I’d like to travel, and take my family with me.

150. What part of the circus scares you the most?  The elephants.  They’ve been beat to submission and are probably quite unstable.  I wouldn’t be surprised if one decided to just charge at the audience.

151. Would you rather be on the cover of Time or People?  People.  I enjoy reading that one more. 

152. Do you ever have a desire to operate a chainsaw?  Yes, I actually enjoy working with power tools.  I’m very proud of all of the carpentry skills I’ve learned since I moved away from Dad. 

153. Would you punch Pavarotti in the gut for $122?  Is that a single person?  I can’t say yes or no without knowing of whom you speak.

154. Have you ever nursed a sick animal back to health?  I am not a big fan of dying animals, especially those that should probably be left alone.  I do have a story, though, of Alese Giles taking it upon herself to pick up a nearly-dead baby bird on her way to school one day.  She was simply going to show it to me, and I almost peed my pants at the thought of coming too close to it.  I just have no interest in the dying, I guess. 

155. What are the chances of Alex running for congress?  Probably better than mine, but still pretty slim. 

156. What are the chances of Calvin inventing something?  I could easily see him inventing some sort of hunting apparatus.  A goose flute holder or something completely revolutionary!

157. What are the chances of Emerson curing cancer?  Her chances are just as good as anyone else’s. 

158. Have you ever been proud of something you chalked on a sidewalk?  Oh, yes, I have!  This summer, Peyton and I spent many a day drawing on the sidewalk outside our apartment.  I drew a picture of our family, and labeled it “Mommy, Daddy, Peyton, and Baby Sister.”  I was very disappointed when it rained.

159. Have you ever wanted to laugh at something Ryan said or did, but held back because you didn’t want to give him the satisfaction?  I do it all the time.  Especially if it’s something about me.

160. Who is your cable service provider and are you happy with them?  We receive our cable through Mediacom, and I would say I’m quite pleased with the service we are provided with. 

161. Do you respect Wayne Gretzky?  I can hardly imagine disrespecting him!

162. What are the chances you have a sibling you don’t know about?  Ryan used to tell me that before he was born, Mom had another daughter named Claire, but she was grown up and we never got to see her.  I now know that he was just making it up, but I believed it for a few years.

163. Olives or almonds?  Almonds

164. What did you think of Mariah Carey’s brief acting career?  I thought it was deplorable.  She should stick to singing.

165. Have you ever baked a scone?  Not to date.

166. What is your favorite letter?  I love to write the letter “i.”

167. Would you rather direct a music video starring Sting or Madonna?  I’d certainly give it a shot, considering how much potential money could be made.

168. What do you think of when I say tub of ice?  I think of vacationing with my parents this summer to Minnesota.  In the hotel room, Peyton helped Grandpa fill up a bucket of ice, and then she brought it to the bedside and told me it was soup, but it was very very hot and I had to be careful.

169. Have you ever tapped a keg?  Nope.

170. How many times have you used a compass?  I’ve only ever used one that is attached to a car.  I’ve never needed one, really.

171. Have you ever created a secret code than forgot how to decode the messages you made out of it?  (than should be then)  Alese and I (she’s in every story, huh) decided that we would make up code names for all of our classmates once, so that we could write notes about them and they’d be none the wiser.  We forgot all of them the second we were finished.

172. You have just formed a barbershop quartet, what are you going to name the group?  This one really requires some serious thought. . . I’d probably name them “the F Sharps”.                      

173. Denim or corduroy?  Denim

174. Have you ever been so bored you broke something on purpose?  As youngsters, Ryan and I used to smash records, and Granny encouraged it. 

175. How much would you pay to see  Metallica have a pillow fight?  Again, no more than $5.00.  It just wouldn’t interest me.

176. How often do you feel fly?  Oh, every day, Jason, every day.

177. Do you sing in the shower?  No.  I hum, but quietly enough that nobody would hear me if they walked by.

178. Have you ever played chicken in any capacity?  Yes, I’ve played it many times with friends in the swimming pool, and also on the monkey bars of the playground.

179. Do you think you could take Paula Abdul in a fight?  Undoubtedly.  She’s very frail.

180. Do you consider MTV news or the Daily Show to be more reliable?  MTV news is probably more reliable, since they aren’t just out for a cheap laugh.

181.  Do you think you could live with Fiona Apple for one year?  She just seems to depressed for my taste.

182. Would you have let MC Hammer be the preacher at your wedding?  Yeah, I think it might be unique.

183. Have you ever experienced telepathy with one of your kids?  Not yet, but my mother and I are always saying things (random things at that) at the exact same time.  I imagine it will happen some day. 

184. Would you like to host a weekly radio program?  It seems a bit unorthodox for me to do such, but if I were asked, I wouldn’t turn down the offer.

185. Would you take my suggestions for Peyton’s senior pictures seriously?  I’d have to hear them, first.

186. Have you ever mispronounced the word snow?  That would be pretty hard to do.

187. When did you find out 187 was slang for murder?  Just now, when I read your question.

188. What do you think of when I say handsome rack?  I think of a woman with large breasts.

189. Do you have any desire to swim with dolphins?  No.  I’m afraid of fish and sea-living creatures.

190. Have you ever received a standing ovation?  I may have, but not as an individual.  I’m sure that when our class plays or band concerts were over, the audience would stand and applaud.

191. What do you think of when I say Chunnel?  A channel and tunnel.  I believe I’ve heard of that term before.

192. Do you think you could pass a wilderness survival test?  If I were to take it right now, I’d probably fail.  If Calvin were willing to teach me, I think I’d do all right. 

193. Have you ever actually counted your blessings?  No, I have far too many to count!                                 

194. If you stayed overnight at the Whitehouse would you steal the towels?  I’d steal the towels and anything else I could get away with stealing.

196. What is the largest number of ingredients you have ever used to make a salad?  Are we speaking of a lettuce salad here?  I would say 8, and it most likely consisted of the following ingredients:  lettuce, carrots, banana peppers, cherry peppers, onions, tomatoes, cheese, croutons

197. Do you feel you learn something new everyday?  I actually feel as though I do.  It may not necessarily be a fact or something one would learn at school, but just a little tidbit about life or mommy-hood. 

198. Would you rather be a rap or country music star?  Country, by far.  I just don’t think I could keep up with the whole ‘rap’ genre.

199. What is your favorite Sandra Bullock movie?  I really enjoyed Miss Congeniality. 

200. Is family fun a myth?  No, it certainly isn’t.  I’ve had fun with my family before, and I’m sure my kids have enjoyed at least a few moments with me.

201. If you concentrated hard enough do you think you could fly?  I know that I never could.  If it was possible to just concentrate on something and have it come true, flying would be pretty far down on my list.

202. If heaven was renamed  god’s game base of gore do you think Christianity would still flourish?  No, I doubt if that name would be as appealing.

203. Can you tell time military style?  If I stop and think about it.

204. Where would be the most comfortable place for you and Colin Mangold to have lunch?  At Ryan’s house, so he could break the ice.  I have no idea who Colin Mangold is.

205. Do you prefer mixtures or formulas?  I prefer formulas, I think.

206. What was the first CD you bought?  This is a toughie.  I think it was probably Hanson. 

207. Would it be easy to convince Calvin to wear a Easter Bunny costume?  If there was a valid reason for him to be doing so, I think he’d go along with it.

208. Japan or Cuba?  Cuba.  I’m not a fan of Asian countries.

209. Yard work or housework?  Housework. 

210. Have you ever woken up at exactly 5:43 AM?  I’m sure I have many times, but I don’t typically keep track of such things.

211. Have you read the entire bible?  I actually had every intention of doing so at one point.  I got to the second chapter and just couldn’t proceed.

212. What is your favorite Cure song?  I suppose it would have to be The End of the World.

213. Would you be mad if someone called you a mad genius?  Not in the least.

214. Have you ever made an important life decision based on a coin flip?  No, not yet.

215. If the president agreed to take phone calls for one hour a day would you attempt to call him?  I really have nothing to say to President Bush.  I guess if we could just call for the fun of chatting and not really have anything productive to discuss, I would give it a try, although I think the lines would be pretty busy.

216. Have you ever coined a term?  None that I can think of.

217. If Dennis Rodman invited you to a party would you go?  You know, I used to really be a big Dennis Rodman fan.  I even owned a jersey at one point.  Though I’ve grown out of that phase, I still this I’d accept his offer

218. Do you think Barry Bonds knowingly took steroids?  Yes, I do.

219. What do you think of when I say clash of cultures?  I think of somebody from the Midwest encountering somebody from the West Coast and being shocked by the way the other lives.

220. How many hours a week do you watch the Disney channel?  Exactly zero.

221. What fashion trend do you wish would come back?  I really liked the flapper dresses.  I would have been happy having been born a flapper.

222. Did you ever hurt someone with a slap bracelet?  If I did, it was most likely only myself.

223. Are you looking forward to the movie Nacho Libre?  I’ve never heard of it, but now you have me intrigued.

224. What is your favorite Darryl Hanna Film?  I liked A Walk To Remember, simply because I had read the book before I saw the movie. 

225. Were you concerned for Lil Kim while she was in jail?  Not even slightly.  Celebrities should be punished for their actions, just like everyone else.

226. Have you ever been fooled by a junk e mail?  Yes, actually.  Not so much the subject line, but the sender’s email address will fool me into thinking it’s somebody I know.

227. Would you be able to take apart a telephone and put it back together?  If I drew a diagram of everything I did in order to disassemble it.

228. Do you have a million dollar idea?  I wish!

229. Have you ever had blood pudding?  No, but I have heard that Granny used to find it irresistible.

230. The anniversary of Biggies death is this month, any feelings?  Biggie?  I have no idea who that is.

231. What is your favorite kind of donut?  A plain old cake donut.  You just can’t beat that.

232. Would you like more people to like you or respect you?  No.  I’m happy with the circle of friends I have, and they all seem to respect me.

233. Have you ever broken a window?  Yes.  Actually, I can think of two instances where I broke a window.  Once I was trying to sit down in a booster seat on the table, and I obviously was weighing one end down more than the other; the table flipped, and my arm crashed through a window.  Another time, Ryan had locked me out of the house, and I was pounding on the window and screaming at him to let me in.  Mom kept saying, “Just go around to the other door!” but I was too furious to give in.  I ended up punching my way right through that window.

234. Do you like it when coaches cuss during press conferences?  It’s not something I would encourage, but it doesn’t really turn me off at all.

235. Would you have enjoyed being in the Mickey Mouse Club?  Again with the stage fright.  I just would have been too awkward.  To be on the Mickey Mouse Club you’d have to be pretty outgoing and talented.

236. Have you ever tried chewing tobacco between your toes?  I’ve never tried chewing tobacco period.

237. What word disgust you every time you hear it?  I shouldn’t even be typing this, but the word “cunt” is just unappealing to me.

238. Is it worse to be pissed off or pissed on?  Definitely pissed on.  That would just be bad.

239. How many times a year do you use wax paper?  I’d say 5.

Back to Top

240. Have you ever been to a wax museum?  No, but it would be a fun place to visit.

241. As a kid did you ever taste your ear wax?  I have never had enough ear wax at one time to get a good taste.  Plus, I don’t believe I was ever inspired to try to taste it in the first place.

242. What movie sequel did you enjoy more than the original?  I really liked the Bourne Supremacy.  I’m still waiting for the next installment in that series.

243. Do you understand the sport of Cricket?  No

244. Estimate how many black and white movies you have seen.  20.  When I used to get ready for school in the mornings, I would leave the TV in my room on TCM.  Sometimes they’d be black and white, most often not.

245. Make up an anagram for the word predisposition?  De inspirit oops.  *Thanks to google for the help*

246. What do you think of when I say comparative religion?  A cult

247. Have you ever used the phrase hot dang  in a serious conversation?  If I ever used the phrase, I doubt it would have been in a serious situation

248. Have you ever  had a glass of prune juice?  I’m sure I’ve had one or two in my lifetime. 

249. Would you purchase a picnic blanket that repels ants but kind of smells funny?  No, I’d just take my chances with the ants.  I wouldn’t want to ruin the food inside the basket.

250. Do you make it a point to watch a horror movie on Easter?  I make it a point to never watch horror movies.

251. Is flossing a myth?  No, flossing is a necessity.

252. What is your favorite music video?  Liquid Dreams by O-Town.

253. Would you like to be aware of the day you are going to die?  Yes, I would.  Then I could spend my remaining time a bit more wisely. 

254. Would you be a hand model for $55,000 a year?  Of course! 

255. Have you ever seen a back piercing?  No!  That just seems unnecessarily painful.

256. How convinced would you have to be I slashed someone’s tires before you would inform the federalies?  I doubt that I would turn you in, unless you had slashed my tires.

258. Have you ever purposely smashes a Twinkie in it’s packaging?  I have done it before, yes.

260. How long can you hold your breath underwater?  If I’m perfectly still, I have held my breath for 100 seconds.  If I’m swimming, not nearly as long.

261. Do you miss Surge?  I never consumed Surge, so I can’t say that I do. 

262. What fast food company has the best commercials?  I like the Burger King ones.  Ever since the commercial where the King wakes up next to an unsuspecting person, I’ve been hooked.

263. Do you wish you knew more about Bruce Springstein?  No, not really.  I know enough. 

264. Have you ever convinced a smoker to quit?  None of my friends (with whom I’d be close enough to give such advice) smoke, thankfully.  If any of them took it up, I’d be all over them to quit.  It’s just nasty.

265. Do you think Adam and Eve spoke English?  Well, obviously they did. 

266. Would you sell your soul to Ted Turner for a fifty percent share in the Atlanta Braves?  No, I think I’d rather keep my soul in my own possession.

267. What is the best thing  you ever bought for a $1.25?That exact amount of money is really hard to remember.  In S.D. we have taxes on everything, so something may have ended up costing that much.  I don’t recall buying anything for $1.25 in MN, so . . . I can’t answer that.

268. Do you think the person who invented bubble wrap is happy?  I really hope he or she is.

269. What would be your response to a random person coming up to you and saying the future is bright?  I’d probably smile and say, “thank you!”  and slowly walk away.

270. Do you ever worry about Axl Rose?  I haven’t worried about him before, but maybe I should.

271. Have you ever felt piss drunk?  No, I have never let myself imbibe quite that much.  I have no desire to be really, really drunk.

272. Would you be comfortable living in a Monarchy?  If I was a princess I’d love it, but otherwise I’d rather stick to Democracy.   

273. What is your favorite Dustin Hoffman movie?  The only one I can think of is Rain Man

274. How much spare change could you collect in one day?  You mean from my purchases, or from begging other for change?  From my purchases I’d say none, because I almost always use my check card.

275. Rock and roll or religion?  Rock and Roll seems less controversial 

276. Do you think you will live to see Haley’s comet in 2062?  Probably not.  If  I’m still alive then, I’ll probably be too senile to understand what’s going on.

277. Did you know majolica was a word?  No, I’ve never heard that one before.

278. Do you know any deal makers?  I know of Kranz Dealmakers.  Well, I don’t know the Kranz people personally, but those are the only ones that came to mind.  Ryan always loved those commercials with the over-excited bunny on them.

279. What historical figure deserves a television mini series?  I’d like to see a mini series about Crazy Horse.  Okay, I’m kidding, but I couldn’t come up with anything else.

280. Would you miss squash if it just disappeared?  No.  I really dislike squash, so it wouldn’t affect me at all.

281. Are you a fan of hi def TV?  I am a fan of both, although I have neither in my own home.

282. Have you ever tried on jodhpurs?  Boy, I am a big shoe person, but I don’t think I’ve ever tried on that particular style of shoe.

283. Have you ever boiled a crawfish?  No. 

284. What is a question that I could ask you that would be really offensive?  Anything sexually explicit would not be answered.

285. Would you rather trip President Clinton or Carrot Top?  Oh, Carrot Top, no contest.  I can’t stand that man!I’d trip him going down a large flight of stairs hoping that maybe that would shut him up for a while.

286. Do you think you could out debate Howard Stern?  No way.  I am more of a “I’ll-go-with-whatever-you-say” kind of person.  Unless, of course, it is a topic I feel very strongly about.

287. Would  you ever consider climbing a mountain?  I would consider it if there were some sort of reward.  Like a foot massage waiting for me at the top. 

288. What do you think of when I say Straw Dogs?  I think of a child’s art project.  Dogs made out of straws.

289. Do you appreciate classical music?  I do, indeed.  I took piano lessons for many a year, and I’ve grown to enjoy its sound.

290. Was the Civil War necessary?  I think it was.  Sometimes war seems to be the only way to settle things.

291. What is your favorite Adam Sandler movie?  I am partial to Big Daddy.

292. Would you shave a homeless person if they asked nicely?  No, probably not.  It’s terrible to say, since they are just people who are down on their luck, but I don’t even think I’d shave a non-homeless person. 

293. Who is the smartest person you know?  Calvin is pretty far up there -- he’s astonishingly smart when it comes to math, and his knowledge of history never ceases to amaze me.  Aren’t I a good wife?  I mean, really, how many other people would say that about their spouse?  Exactly.

294. Do you think you could change a skinhead’s mind?  I’d be afraid to try.

295. Do you think you have drank a gallon of hose water in your lifetime?  Oh, easily.

296. Would you enjoy bobbing for apples with Tom Cruise?  I’d enjoy bobbing his head down in the water for a few seconds, hoping to knock some sense into him.  I’m sick of his overly-enthusiastic interviews.  (I really sound like a horrible person in this interview, don’t I?) 

297. Nonsense or common sense?  Common sense.  You can’t get too far without it.

298. Would you fly to Antarctica, eat a bite of lobster and fly right back for the rest of the lobster when you came back?  That would just be a bit unnecessary.  Plus, I don’t eat lobster.

299. Would you be upset if your kids called you mama in their teens?  No, I think it would be okay.  I might be a bit embarrassed to be called “Mama” in public, but they could certainly decide to call me something worse.

300. How sure are you that the world is round?  I’m about 100% sure on that one.

301. What do you think of when I say no sanction?  Jason, I’d like to know where you’re coming up with these, really.  What show are you watching?

302. How many stamps do you buy in a year?  I buy roughly 5 books of stamps, I suppose.  “How many is that, Mom?”  Mom:  There are 20 per book.  Okay, so about 100 stamps, I guess. 

303. Would you consider cheating at a chili cook off?  If it would help me win, yeah.  I’d probably cheat by sabotaging someone else’s chili rather than changing mine, though.

304. Donkey baseball or donkey basketball?  Donkey basketball.

305. Do you think Ronald McDonald will ever find true love?  I hope he does.  Everyone deserves to be happy.

307. Do you own any opals?  I do not yet.

308. Have you ever cried over spilled milk?  As a child I imagine that I did, but I haven’t in the last few years.

310. How many poems do you have memorized?  Zero.   

311. Have you ever wished a squirrel would drop dead?  No!  I think they’re cute and I always feel sorry for them when I see their little bodies squished into the road.

312. Were you ever inspired by Calvin and Hobbes?  I wasn’t. 

313. Would you have enjoyed being the keyboardist for the Mammas and the Pappas?  I don’t think they’re really my crowd.

315. Do you know how to score a game of dominos?  Nope.

316. What is the longest you have gone without eating meat?  I tried to be a vegetarian back when I was something like 15 or 16 years old.  I made it for a while -- maybe 1 month or something -- but the temptation to eat meat is really everywhere.

317. Would you enjoy having a personal trainer?  I would love it.  I think I could lose a lot of weight if I had someone there to motivate me and show me exactly what to do.

319. What would you like your vanity license plate to say?  HOTMOM

320. Have you ever sang karaoke with a lesbian?  I’ve never sang karaoke with a straight person. 

321. Do Toby Keith’s political songs go too far?  Yes, and quite frankly I think he needs to pick a new topic.

323. Have you ever sat through a Abbot and Costello film?  I don’t think I have.

324. How much money would it take for you to swallow a goldfish?  There is really not a price high enough.  I am repulsed just thinking about it.  I would do it for less than $5 million. 

325. Is a Blues Brothers sequel called Blues Sisters a good idea?  No, it probably wouldn’t be a big seller.

326. If I sent you a film script I wrote would you proof read it and send it back with constructive criticism?  I’d love to!

327. Did you ever attempt a lemonade stand in Carpenter?  Ryan and I built a lemonade stand out of these big “Omegals” (spelling) when we were little, but I don’t recall if we tried to sell lemonade or not.

328. When buying a new car is a cigarette lighter important?  Well, it’s important for me to be able to plug my phone adaptor in, but the cigarette lighter itself wouldn’t make or break my decision to buy the car.

329. Have you ever ate a whole block of cheese in one sitting?  I think that would make me sick.

330. Have you ever rode in a dune buggy?  (ridden)  Um, no I have not.

331. Is it appropriate for a guy to be referred to as a knockout?  Well, I guess that depends on the guy and on who is doing the critiquing.  I could see a gay guy referring to another gay guy as a knockout.

332. Have you ever drank from a flask?  No.

333. Have you stopped enjoying fairy tales?  Oh, I think I’ll always enjoy a good fairy tale.  Peyton is getting into princesses right now, so I like to watch the Disney movies with her.  Her favorite is the Little Mermaid.

334. Have you ever made a hat out of a newspaper?  I don’t know how to.

335. Do you know how to score a game of hopscotch?  No, I don’t.

336. Can you explain the difference between caramel and butterscotch?  I can’t explain it, no, but I can definitely say that there is a distinct difference.  Why?  Are there people who think they are the same?

337. Have you ever been through a really good funhouse?  I have probably only been through one funhouse in my life, and it really wasn’t that great at all.

338. Have you sat through the movie Jaws?  Yeah, but I don’ think it was the first one.  It seems like the one I saw was one of the sequels.

339. What was your first impression of John Lennon?  Oh, I really think that John Lennon is/was a great musician.   

340. How long would it take for you to get bored of making candles?  Probably somewhere around 3 weeks.

342. Would you find making a slam dunk satisfying?  Yeah, it would be pretty great.

343. Have you ever worked in a cubicle?  I’ve never worked.  Well, I’ll change that, I was a waitress once and I worked for a man at a bookstore.  No cubicles there.

344. Do you think Gap commercial are clever?  No, they more or less just annoy me.

345. Have you ever been mistaken for a celebrity?  I’ve never been mistaken for one per se, but people tell me ALL THE TIME that I look like Drew Barrymore.  I’ve heard it dozens of times, now.  It’s gotta be the chin and the squinty eyes.

346. Would you rather have a solid gold toilet or bathtub?Probably toilet.

347. Do you think time is on your side?  Yes, I think it is.  I’ve accomplished many things in my 21 years that most people don’t over a lifetime.  Plus, now I’ve got childbearing out of the way and I can enjoy my adult years knowing that that is in the past.

348. Have you ever sincerely said goodbye to a inanimate object?  I do.  I have always thought that inanimate objects have feelings, so if I am going somewhere for a while, I feel bad for the clothes that get left behind and I say goodbye to them. 

349. Would you like to participate in a think tank?  I don’t think it’s anything that would interest me.

350. Do you like the sound of an accordion?  Oh, not at all.  Let’s just say I’ve been scarred for life by the accordion-playing of a few certain relatives. 

351. Did you ever think Weird Al was gay?  No, I guess I never though so.

352. Would you think less of someone for having a tattoo on the sole of their foot?  Probably not.  I might think they have a high tolerance for pain, though.

353. Would you rather catch a foul ball or a wild hockey puck?  A foul ball would hurt much less.

354. What do you think of Flavor Flav?  I really don’t like him at all.  I don’t see why those women are vying for the attention of such a freak.   

355. Do they still make the crispy M&Ms?  Boy, if they do, I sure haven’t seen them for a while.  They used to be my favorite , but now I like the Big M&M’s best.

356. Have  you ever watched a whole episode of Joey?  I feel sorry for saying “no”, because I really liked the show Friends, but I haven’t.  I have watched partial episodes and have never been impressed. 

357. Would you keep a dead body buried in your basement for $10,000 dollars a month for the rest of your life?  Would it be illegal?  I don’t want any legal trouble.  If it was okay with the government and the person’s family, and I would not get in trouble of any kind, I think I could do it.

358. Have you ever taste tested something blind folded?  Yes, I have.  We used to play the Food Tasting Game when we were little.  We’d blindfold the other person and make them eat something of unknown origin, and they’d have to guess what it was.  One time Mom led me toward one of those sticky fly traps before I opened my eyes. . . She says she was joking.

359. Would you be pissed if you had wings?  If I was the only person in the world to have wings, yeah, it would bug me.  If everyone had wings, then I probably wouldn’t feel like such a freak.

360. When was the last time you played the original Nintendo?  I played it about 2 years ago when I was visiting my in-laws.  We had all kinds of problems, though, and couldn’t get it to function properly. 

361. Would you exchange houses with a family in another country for a year?  Only if the other country was Ireland.

362. Would you participate in the show Trading Spouses?  No, because I wouldn’t want somebody stupid coming in and messing up my GPA.

364. Have you ever broken a tire swing?  Nope. 

365. How many bones in the body can you name off the top of your head?  Jason, I don’t even want to get into this.  I could probably list 100.  We learned those in Anatomy last semester.  My favorite bone is the vomer, as a side note.

366. Could you pick the Blarney Stone out of a lineup?  Yeah, I think I could.

367. Have you found the quiet center within yourself?  Yes, it’s called leaving the kids and husband for a while.

368. Have you ever ate ice cream for breakfast?  (eaten)I do things like that all the time.  That’s how I maintain my svelte figure.

369. Did Pabst really deserve a blue ribbon?  Well, I’m not the best judge of beer, but if the committee decided to reward him with such, then he probably did.

370. Has anyone ever told you  to stay away from their roses?  I really can’t think of anyone who has roses. 

371. Do you wish you used more metaphors?  Nah, I’m not big on thinking too “deeply” when it comes to life. 

372. Will you be upset if you have to get dentures?  No, I’d actually prefer it.  I’m worried about root canals, bridges, fillings, etc.  I say, let’s just pull all my teeth and not worry about it.

373. When was the last time you acted on  a hunch?  I can’t say, for fear of offending anyone.

374. Is aromatherapy a myth?  I think it is.  I doubt that a sandalwood candle is really going to invigorate me.

376. When was the last time you bought a water gun?  To be honest, I don’t think I ever have. 

377. Does pickle juice give you heart burn?  Everything gives me heartburn.  I have Dad to thank for those good genes. 

378. Would you rather be a guest on Letterman or Leno?  Leno.  I like his show much more.  It would be great to be there on a night when he does Headlines. 

379. Have you ever honestly used the phrase oh the horror?  I may have used it in jest at one point. 

380. Do you feel that William Daniels was the right choice for Mr. Feeny on Boy Meets World?  I think he played the part of Mr. Feeny beautifully.  I can’t imagine anyone else having that role. 

381. Have you ever been offended by the actions of a construction worker?  No.  Construction workers have never been rude or vulgar toward me.

382. Have you ever used a authentic feather duster?  I think Mom used to have one, but I guess that doesn’t mean that I ever used it. 

383. Are you more comfortable buying tires or contact lenses from Sears?  Contact lenses. 

384. Have you ever had an intensely vivid dream?  I do all the time.  Apparently, 2 or 3 nights out of every week, I sit up in bed absolutely hysterical, screaming and hollering.  Calvin will always tell me in the morning that I was saying, “She’s stuck under the bed!” or things of that nature.  I never have any recollection of these.

434. It is the year of the dog in china true or false?  I can’t argue with something I know nothing about.

457. Would you consider Edgar Allan Poe a personal Hero?  I enjoy reading his stories, but he’s not a hero of mine.  If I had to choose an author to fill that role, I’d pick either Ralph Waldo Emerson or Henry David Thoreau. 

458. Would you allow a cussing parrot to live in your home?  No.  Birds scare me.  (are you noticing that lots of animals scare me?) 

459. Do you believe in Zen?  No.

482. Lemmings are not funny why would you say something like that?  I don’t think I would, as I don’t know what Lemmings are. 

483. Would you go on a hunger strike for thirty days if there was a fifty percent chance it would end world hunger?  Yes, I would try.

484. What do you think you and Ryan disagree most strongly about?  His ability (or lack there-of) to play the piano, and his extreme dislike of cheese.  I really think it’s all in his head.  I know that he’s embarrassed to give up his weird “anti-cheese” habit because he’s stuck to it for so long now.   

485. What is the deal with hardwood floors?  They’re a nice addition to a home.  I hope to have hardwood floors when I have my own house.

488. What is a clever way of telling someone you want to fight them?  I would say, “Prepare to die!” like on Mortal Combat.  That phrase always cracked me up because as if the other person will really “prepare” himself.  “Okay, just give me a minute.  I need to go revise my will and speak with my family one last time, then I’ll be right back! 

489. Have you  ever faked your way through sign language?  I’ve never needed to know sign language.

491. Have you ever tried out for a team and been horribly disappointed when you did not make it?  I’ve never tried out for anything before.  

492. Would you like to try acupuncture?  I would like to try it.  Maybe they could fix my fear of 99% of the world’s animals.

498. Will a non human ever  run for political office?  I don’t see it happening. 

499. When someone says isn’t life funny do you feel bad for them?  It depends on what they are talking about.  I’d need more information before I made my conclusion on that one.
