Name Game

[Abiyah]

Want to try your hand at another game? You must
come up with a name which is a twist on a
common English word, short cliche, or short
phrase, then answer the previous writer with a
post that matches not only your chosen name but
also answers the previous post. The first names
must be common American first names which
make plays on words and/or ideas when mixed
with your chosen middle name and/or middle
initial and/or last name. Initials with a last name are
also acceptable.

Examples to get us started:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Lately, I have been thinking that I am a very
unemotional person with tendencies more toward
common sense than toward knee-jerk reactions.

Hm-m-m-m. Well, I haven't thought about that
since the 1860s.

I remember 1862. They walked into the plantation
and demanded that we provide the troops with
meals. The cook happened to be making ginger-
bread cookies, and I was one of the gingerbread
boys eaten by one of Stonewall's soldiers.

Boy, you guys are old! I wasn't even born until
1962, and since I was born in New Brunswick, I
know nothing about the Civil War.

Well, I was born in Hershey, PA. I am sweet, nutty,
brown, and everybody loves me!

I used to live near the Hershey factory, went for a visit and got my hand caught in the Pecan Cluster Machine! My boyfriend left me because of it, and I haven't been able to find anyone since. I'm so lonely. All I want is someone to love me for who I am.

Speaking of factories. My hubby works at one and he got his hand caught in a big press and lost half of it (his hand, not the press).

And speaking of fingers . . . I finally found a way to get my daughter to stop biting her nails! I have to keep a close watch on her, but when she starts to nibble, I just squirt her from a water gun. I figure, it worked for the cats . . . .

I used to work in a ammunition factory. I was
trying out some of the product one night, when
I thought everyone was gone, and i shot at one
of the machines. The bullet bunced off it, hit and
bunced off the wall, then struck the nightguard
in the leg. I was fired.

Katya --

If I did that to my child, she would fall on the floor
in a tantrum. In fact, she would fall face-down
down, kicking and screaming!

Well, Belle, I never allowed my kids to throw tantrums. One of my daughters tried that; but only once.

Well, children will be children. We must let them
explore their emotions; we cannot stunt their
emotional growth, you know.

[stubbornkelly]

Hey, you wanna talk about emotional exploration? Well, my mom told me she wants me to take some time to explore and act out my feelings. So, I'm going down to the lake to act out my feelings about this really stupid assignment! Throwing rocks at the birds should be fun - hahaha!

Now, my dear! Throwing rocks at the little birds!
Is that really what a a nice young lady should be
doing?

I saw someone throw a rock at a crow once.

Bertie Blackbruise

 

[Abiyah]

Although crow is not kosher, so most of my
friends do not eat it, I have observed people
eating crow. It caused extreme pain in the gut,
exhaustion, and worry. I think it wise, then, not to
not to eat non-kosher foods. 8o)

He knows I have such a busy schedule, but my husband decided to "surprise" me with a puppy for Christmas. So, now a lot of my time is taken with training and taking care of my "gift." I'm so sorry I can't meet you after work, but I have to get home before she can leave me any "accidents".

Anita Walker

 

[Abiyah]

I certainly understand. I do not have animals for
that very reason. I really do not like the little . . . uh
. . . gifts they leave. Like cat hair in the toothpaste,
teeth marks in the butter, claw marks up the
curtains, and chewed-up slippers.

Talk about chewed up slippers. I own my own shoe repair shop. I may be able to fix them slippers given half the chance.

You know, I would take you up on that offer, but
do you know how many inches around my foot
is?

[TaterTot]

Big 'r small, I can fix 'em all! Maybe I could help you out. See, I make custom made bustles. I have measured it all!! So come on and let me give it a try.

Ewww, with my figure, I don't need a bustle!

I have this canoe, see. Well, my friend, Tyler, and I
were going portaging in northern Minnesota, when
we came across a guy who was stranded. He
claimed to be knowledgeable about canoes, so I
offered him a ride.

Well, he stretched the truth a bit. He tipped the
canoe, and Tyler and I lost all our gear. End of
portaging trip. 8o(

I have a friend like Tyler. His name is Stanley and he is a terrible driver. When I see his truck coming down the road in the wrong lane, I get out of the way 'cause I know....
