The Daily F Bomb, Monday 2/11/13

Good morrow, friends! I trust you slept well? Grab some coffee and wake up your brain. It’s Monday.

Queries: Did you ever have braces? Do you need glasses (don’t we all)? Do you ride horses at all? When was the last time you rode a bike? What odd little treasures did you collect as a child? Have you experienced any earthquakes? Tornadoes? Hurricanes?

Gifs offer new ways to meet life’s challenges

It is my pleasure to support dear occupant’s Sunday GIForama:Nature with this additional diary.

I once taught English language and literature at a posh private girls’ school in Potomac, Maryland, where the motto was Aut inveniam viam aut faciam (I will either find a way or make one). Sitting here in the Mile High City, mired in the dregs of winter…

L’ennui d’hiver

…I reviewed my collection of gifs and saw in them new ways to meet life’s challenges, big and small.  

The Daily F Bomb, Sunday 2/10/13

Good morning!  Sunday already. Some Sunday music, first.

What is the best adventure you ever had (even if it wasn’t fun at the time)? Have you won any awards? What imaginary award are you deserving of? Do you use baby talk with your pets (or children or grandchildren)? Do you have rhythm? Do you play any musical instruments? Well?

The Daily F Bomb, Saturday 2/9/13

Happy Saturday, or Caturday, or Fatterday (I eat a huge breakfast on the weekends, so that applies…)

Today’s Interrogation: Did you ever engage in any kind of behavior that you regret today? How many languages do you speak? What is your favorite movie adaptation of a novel you have read and enjoyed? What is your least favorite movie version of a novel you have read and enjoyed? What is the worst thing you have encountered being added to what should be a favorite dish of yours in a restaurant?

The Daily F Bomb, Friday 2/8/13

Friday, friday, gotta get down on Friday… oops, sorry. I’ve got Friday on My Mind. The Bowie version, this time.

Questions: Gee/mgeorges suggested asking a variety of yesterday’s first question regarding traits inherited from parental units. This one is, which traits did you NOT inherit – one that you are glad you didn’t inherit and one that you wish you had inherited?  Were you someone famous in a past life? If yes, who, and if not, make up a good one. Where are you on the scale between fastidious and sloppy? What is your favorite bird to watch? What epitaph would you like on your headstone?

The Daily F Bomb, Thursday 2/7/13

Good morning, Bombadillos! I ache fiercely all over from yesterday’s workout, but it’s a good ache. Nothing a coffee/Advil cocktail won’t cure.

Interrogation time! Did you have strict parents or permissive ones? Did you behave or did you rebel and/or take advantage of their good nature? Pigeons: Rats with wings or a valued and wonderful bird?  How much do you usually leave for a tip? After family, pets, and photos, what would you save in a fire? What trait did you inherit from your parents that one does not usually considered inheritable (for instance, I have the smart-ass gene)?

The Daily F Bomb, Wednesday 2/6/13

Buenas Dias, Bomberinos! Funny how these morning things keep inexorably rolling around again and again, faster and faster… unless you’re sick or have insomnia.

I have questions. Do you have insomnia often? How do you handle it, do you fight it and try to sleep or give up and do something? Leisure time: Do you kick back and relax (we call it “blobbing”) or do you get out and do things? Are you a morning person? If not, what time of day do you shine? Do you believe in ghosts? If so, have you encountered any?

The Daily F Bomb, Tuesday 2/5/13

Greetings, Bombers! It’s a fine morning here in CA, with a thin layer of smog concealing the blue of the sky (well, OK, it’s still dark here, but that is how it looked yesterday afternoon) and a faint scent of exhaust in the air. Everyone will assure me it’s a beautiful day, because… warm.

I have questions: Are there any animals (not bugs) that scare you? (It’s monkeys for me, creepy little devils.) Have you ever been hypnotized (knowingly, I mean)? Which of the alphabetical personality types are you (A, B…)? Were you ever in the Scouts (boy/girl)? Did you get kicked out or quit? 😉 Are you handy or helpless when it comes to fixing things around the house?

Twit-o-rama

(most of these are leftovers, but if you complain you don’t get dessert!)

The Daily F Bomb, Monday 2/4/13

Good morning, Bomber and Meeses and everyone else. These Mondays really come around inexorably, don’t they?

Questions of the day: Of all the liberal causes out there (and they are legion), which is nearest and dearest to your heart? What is your favorite spot in your home to sit and relax? What is your preferred snack food for big televised events (from inaugurations to award shows to sporting events or the new season of whatever show)? Gardens: Wild or formal? Pets: Purebred or mutt?

Twitter Tornado

Most of you implied you did not care who won the Super Bowl last night, but perhaps some watched for the commercials. Or maybe not. Still, it was quite a night, and I have a gazillion tweets that I would love to post, 99% having to do with either the game (some tying it in to politics) or the ads.

There was a Dodge ad with the tag line, “God made a farmer” that was narrated by Paul Harvey. Very rah-rah, isn’t white rural America the best thing ever.” Here are a couple inspired by that ad:

There was a power outage at the Super Dome mid game, right after the half time show. San Francisco was losing badly before the outage. They came back strongly after the outage, though not enough to win.

Maybe more later in the comments.

The Failed Drug War

i’ve always been a proponent of the use of marijuana for medical purposes.  i live in texas, lots of marijuana comes through here and texas is absolutely behind the drug war.  however, the policy of the USA has harmed and killed innocents in a country we share a border with.  a country where some of my ancestors arrived in texas from.  a country with a myriad of problems, poverty in particular.  a third world nation right in our backyard.
