Haaa-peeeee Hump Day, boys and girls.
Today, because we're crazy as loons and love to be slightly off plumb let's celebrate Friday! YAY! No, nothing else ... just Friday. heh heh. We're kidding! Gotcha! Friday is Telescope Day which commemorates the invention of the telescope by Gallileo in 1621. In keeping with that theme, let's warm up for this week's Mind Hump.
You have a telescope that allows you to see anything, anyone, anywhere and anytime! What, who, where, when would you like to take a closer look at?
I shall be pointing my telescope towards Hannover, Germany and taking a much closer look at this...
This week, a little "getting to know" meme with a crazy little twist. The rules are easy as pie. Just copy and paste the warm up above and the questions below into your blog and add your responses. You need not be a member to play - so let us not delay. Ready? Let's do the Humpty Hump.
1. If you were a Christmas tree ornmanet, what would you be and why?
I'd be the angel atop the tree, simply because people are always getting angry at me and telling me to shove things up my arse!
2. If you were a character from any Christmas themed story or movie, who or what would you be?
I would be the Grinch...
Before his transformation to niceness, of course.
3. In "Twas The Night Before Christmas" the children were nestled all snug in their beds while visions of sugarplums danced in their heads. In your dreams, what visions dance through your head?
Visions of Scorpions dance in my head...
Especially these two!
4. If you were one of Santa's reindeer (Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolph) which one would you be and why?
I'd be Rudolf (I spelled it that way on purpose), 'cos he's the only reindeer who is also one of The Scorpions!
5. Show us your heartstrings -- what is your most precious Christmas or Chanukah memory?
When I was eight years old the thing that I wanted most for Christmas was a Suzie Homemaker oven. Although my parents informed me that Santa would not be bringing me one, I still asked him for it at every chance I got.
When my parents and I headed out on our annual trip to downtown Pittsburgh to see the Christmas windows, the weather got frightfully bad. Dad could barely see where he was going in the blinding snowstorm. Like a good little girl, I told my dad that I didn't mind if I missed seeing the windows that year. Relieved, dad did a U turn and headed for home.
I found that Suzie Homaker oven under the tree on Christmas morning. I was told that Santa had brought it because I had not made a fuss about missing the windows that year. I was so happy that Santa had done this!
Years later I realised that there was no magical fat man, and that Mom and Dad had given me that oven. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the people who were really responsible for making me so happy on that long ago Christmas morning. Thanks, Mom and Dad!
This hump has been brought to you by those lovely lunatics from BDI who are on permanent leave of absence from our senses.
