The Daily F Bomb, Wednesday 2/20/13

Good morning! Happy Love Your Pet day. It’s nice to have a break after hating the miserable creatures the other 364 days, lemme tell ya…

Interrogatories

Are you usually early, late, or right on time? What is your favorite epithet that would not get you fined if you said it on TV? If you could make up your own coat of arms, what would be on it? Do you still have all your marbles? Who is the best teacher you ever had? What is your favorite bread or bread-type product? What is your favorite sandwich?

The Daily F Bomb, Tuesday 2/19/13

Good morning! Grab some coffee and join us!

Interrogatories

When faced with aggression or vitriol, do you turn the other cheek, or fight back? What kind of volunteer work do you do? Are you tidy or untidy? What is the worst smell you ever smelled? What is the best smell in the world? With fiction, do you prefer realism or something more fantasy oriented?

Broken

Semper AugustusIn the first decades of the 17th century the Dutch went mad for tulips. At the height of the craze in the 1630s, tremendous sums were given, fortunes were gained and lost – for a flower with no scent, no commercial application such as dye, or perfume, or medicine; a flower that bloomed for only a few days a year.

The most highly-prized tulips were those which, through some fluke, displayed variegated colors in flame-like striations; one of the most spectacular of these varieties was known as the Semper Augustus, a stunning blossom of deep carmine flames on a pure white ground.

These extraordinary flowers were called by the Dutch ‘broken.’

The Daily F Bomb, Monday 2/18/13

Happy President’s Day! Whether there is a good President or a bad President, it is always good to take a Monday off work.

Interrogatories

What was the bravest moment in your life? What was the scariest moment in your life? What would be the title of your memoirs, if you were to actually write them? Are you outgoing or reserved? How susceptible to tears are you when watching/reading about/etc. touching things? What is scarier, heights or caves?

The Daily F Bomb, Sunday 2/17/13

Good morning! Any of you have exciting plans for the day? I plan to perfect my couch potato technique.

Interrogatories

Do you get along well with your neighbors? What do you have decorating your walls? Are you a leader or a follower? Can you sing? Are you afraid of needles or is getting a shot no big deal to you? If the end of the world as we know it really was nigh, would you want to survive and deal with the fallout, or would you rather die in the first cataclysm (or whatever it may be)? How prepared are you for the Zombie Apocalypse?

The Daily F Bomb, Saturday 2/16/13

Happy Saturday, Bombastics! What a weird news week that was. I suspect that things will only get stranger.

Interrogatories

In the good old days, we used to theorize that people like Bill Gates or Martha Stewart were the Antichrist. Who would be your candidate for that position today? Do you recall mimeograph/ditto machines, and if so, did you not inhale deeply of every test paper the teacher passed out? What is your favorite kitchen appliance/electric? What’s on your bucket list? How many juries have you served on? Did you enjoy the experience? What sports (if any ) are you good at?

The Daily F Bomb, Friday 2/15/13

Good morning, all. Happy Friday, and happy 3 day weekend to those who get Monday off.

Interrogatories

At this moment, how long have you been in front of your computer without getting up? How many hours a day do you average on your computer? If you knew your next meal would be your last, what would you choose to eat and drink? Star Trek or Star Wars? Coke or Pepsi? How is your memory doing these days? What did I just ask? What is your worst habit?

The Daily F Bomb, Thursday 2/14/13

Good morning

Questions! The first I found on Twitter and traced back to Reddit. The second is one kids always ask each other.

If you were granted access to Wikipedia of 100 years in the future for ten minutes only, what would you look up? Would you rather be able to turn invisible or fly? Would you rather cook dinner or clean up after? What’s easier for you, folding laundry or ironing it? Is your preferred car an automatic or manual transmission? Do you prefer your chee-tos baked or deep fried to a crackly crunch?

First the leftover SOTU stuff:

And more recent:

The Daily F Bomb, Wednesday 2/13/13

Happy hump day, Herd! That was some SOTU last night, eh? I wish I had my old dual attention span back. I kept missing what the Prez was saying because I was watching Boehner twitching for a drink and grinding his teeth.

I was also afraid they’d break in any minute with Dorner news. Dorner has made me think of a question. Among many.

Have you ever been picked on by police? How good a consumer are you? Do you like or hate shopping? When you watch TV, can you say afterwards what that commercial you just saw was for? (I used to work at a research place and was amazed at how commercial messages just don’t stick with me.) Are you more of a word person or a number person? How do/did you handle telemarketers? Do you prefer things planned in advance or spontaneous?

The Twitter Emitter

We have some tweets on the SOTU:

The the response:

The Daily F Bomb, Tuesday 2/12/13

Good morning, again. I’m watching people get snowed on on TV while i sit in my heated apartment. Outside it’s a toasty 40-something. That white stuff looks cold. You guys can keep it. 😉

Today’s interrogatories:  What is the best comeback line you ever came up with? Was it timely or did you think of it after the fact? Do you say “all of a sudden” or “all the sudden”? Were you ever a tattletale as a kid? What’s the oddest job you ever had? What is the bigger waste of time, reports or meetings? Are you religious, or spiritual (not the same thing) or neither?
