It's that time of the week again. Questions time. I'm in a little bit of a quandary this weekend. Too much on, but no desire to do anything. Hmm, must be Christmas coming. I often feel out of sorts around this time of year.
What mythical creature would improve the world most if it existed?
Unicorns. Everybody loves unicorns.
What inanimate object do you wish you could eliminate from existence?
Conservative politicians. They are next to inanimate most of the time.
What is the weirdest thing you have seen in someone else’s home?
Middle-aged women with stuff toy collections is pretty bamboozling.
What would be the absolute worst name you could give your child?
There are too many to choose from. Silly fruit names (e.g. Apple, Apricot, Plum...) or surnames for first names. It's something they tend to do in America. Oh and bogan names where the parents misspell the names - for example Zayvyer (Xavier), Brytnee (Brittany) and Mackquelliegha (one of the many spellings of Michaela).
What would be the worst thing for the government to make illegal?
Abortion. I live in a country where abortion is available, safe and legal. It is illegal to picket outside of abortion clinics. I see this as a good thing. If you don't like abortion, don't have one. It's noboby's business but the woman's.
What are some of the nicknames you have for customers or coworkers?
We all go by our initials. It's pretty boring.
If peanut butter wasn’t called peanut butter, what would it be called?
Soopergoop. Mind you, I come from a place which refers to it as peanut paste.
What movie would be greatly improved if it was made into a musical?
Any of the Marvel films - I'd love to see that. They are great films already, a bit of music would be fun - particularly the dark ones like Morbius or Venom.
What would be the worst “buy one get one free” sale of all time?
Pet snakes or spiders. No thanks.
What is the funniest name you have actually heard used in the real world?
I used to work in a bank and we had clients, the Chookeetsongbooms. That always made me smirk. That and a colleague called Hardik and another colleague called Noel Cole. Parents, eh.
What sport would be the funniest to add a mandatory amount of alcohol to?
Darts, though that might be a bit dangerous.
What would be the coolest animal to scale up to the size of a horse?
A cat. They would have great fun doing lots of damage to the world. I can see it now.
What set of items could you buy that would make the cashier the most uncomfortable?
It's always fun taking sanitary products up to the male teenage cashiers.
What is something that you just recently realized that you are embarrassed you didn’t realize earlier?
The song Turning Japanese is about masturbation. I love that song, but only found that out a few years ago.
What are some fun and interesting alternatives to war that countries could settle their differences with?
Drinking games and pillow fights - much better than war.
I learned about turning Japanese's meaning fairly early on, but I don't know how.
ReplyDeleteHi Pand,
ReplyDeleteAgree about abortion - I fear the UK is mad enough to consider it at the moment though.
Oh no - Pand! Please don't turn the Marvel movies into musicals! :o(
Most people here play darts in the pub anyway so it has a lot of alcohol involved typically.
I did not know that about Truning Japanese.
:o)
Cheers
PM
Wow -- Chookeetsongbooms is a long name!!
