1. Grandma(if she was alive and kickin) and then since Mama already burnt my favorite teddy bear when I was a kid I guess I'd have to pick the cuddily dog (sorry kitty, you'll just have to tell God on me!)
2. Kenny G
3. Do I have all those body parts? The hands.
4. Bill Gates-he seems nicer than all the rest.
5. Fat-free fruit salad that tasted deliciously sinful.
6. Handicrafts for kids made from dino bones. If nothing else we could super glue them to paper!
7. Malt-o-meal express--hot & chocolate with bubbles in the middle.
8. the parakeet mascot would help the team win games because they could talk the other team to death.

1. I would probably, in a moment of CO confusion, pick the toy. Sorry to both my grandmas.
2. Kenny G
3. I love my feet. You can look at them any day.
4. I'm all for taking money away from Martha and giving it to a good cause.
5. the bacon bit, a definite underdog in this category
6. the ballad ... I'm a fan of music and multitasking
7. The Malt-o-Meal Express was my idea, so of course, that would be my pick. It's smooth and sweet and full of energy.
8. I would pick the dafodil, for the same reason that I picked the bacon bit.

1. Grandma; I'd stick the kitty in her pocket.
2. I'm gonna say Right Said Fred because I am just not familiar with their entire collection.
3. Clavicle. I think it's an underrated part of the female body.
4. My first instinct was Bill, because he has a lot of money. But I'd have to go with Oprah, because if Oprah likes something, lots of other women decide to like it, too.
5. Oh the granola bar. Portable, hearty, and often contains chocolate.
6. Although I am most likely to be known for my long naps, I would choose the ballad.
7. For sure the Malt-o-Meal Express.
8. I think the penguin has a lot of possibilities. There could be a great waddling cheer. Want to work on that for me, Tif?

i'm thinking i'll use dick van dyke in mary poppins as an inspiration... it's gonna be great.

no seriously, why doesn't anyone use the gorilla as a mascot? lions, tigers, bears, wildcats, bulldogs... all big and powerful, just like the gorilla. i think it fits right in. they could replace dumb ones like the boilermakers or the flying dutchmen.

I don't believe Right Said Fred has an entire collection. One song pretty much sums it up.

I love the waddling cheer idea though. None of that dangerous flying stuff (except for Mary Poppins). You win by innovation.

This is overwhelming, I can't decide. Why are the options so limited? My biggest question right now is how do I make my boots stop smelling? I wear them everyday about 16 hours average a day for 4 months now... you can imagine. Whats the a b or c for that?

blake said...

a. you treat the smell as if it's a rare Afghan delicacy.

b. you trade the general something valuable (like your ipod) for a new set of boots

c. I mail you some Dr. Scholl's foot powder.

jo, definitely go for "c"... baj, mail the girl some sweet-smelling foot powder.

Jo, even though you didn't take the time to take the quiz I will answer your quiz. 1. Spray Lysol air spray in them. It will kill the germs and deodorize them. 2. Get some foot-odor powder. (Not the kind that gives you odor but the odor absorbing kind. 3. Spray your feet with aerosol anti-perspirant. (Not my idea but my foot doctors. It keeps your feet from sweating.) 4. Make sure and wear socks. They absorb the moisture. 5. If none of the above work, throw the boots away and start over.
Wisdom from a fellow foot odor sufferer. Now can we have the answers to the quiz?
