Indeed. I am anxious to get this thing in full gear. The person below me plans everything out in maddening detail.

Hard Habit to Break- Peter Cetera

Grannies. And you are wonderful to buy stuff for schools. Mosquitoes or biting flies?

I don't have any in the house, so no. However, if I was to go to the store and buy some, I would eat them. I would just make sure that they were fully cooked so as to kill all bacteria, which is a good practice any time one eats ovum. The person below me is going to eat candy tomorrow.

Indeed. They're not so bad if they're nice. The person below me has heard a discouraging word.

Pot roast. My mother is a fantastic cook, but bless her heart, she makes one bad meat loaf. Dad's was even worse. He only knew how to make meat loaf and pancakes. And we always had to guess the "secret ingredient" which could be anything- and usually was. Borrow gas money or pay the light bill late?

Tennessee Bird Walk- whole bunch of people including Buck Owens and Roger Miller

Wake Me Up Before You Go Go- Wham!

I adore the Star Wars movies. My Godson and I will break into random dialogue at will. He grew up with his "Cheese pizza and Star Wars" weekends with Auntie. Thank you for connecting two things that I love- Star Wars and the Detroit Red Wings. Favourite one:

Oh, how I wish that was true. You always hurt the ones you love, and all that. The person below me keeps their nails short to keep them from breaking on the job.

I'm easy. Curtains or blinds?

Little Miss Can't Be Wrong- Spin Doctors

No kidding. Everyone knows the world will end in 2011. Hey! Good luck with that.

Wax off. Then you're done. Fruit or veggie?

Color My World- Chicago

This is about as random as it gets. From a newspaper article about a fellow named Xavier Alvarez, who falsely claimed to have been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor: Talk about "one of these things is not like the other".

I had a diary once upon a time. I got it for Christmas, but never really wrote in it. The person below me hates asking people for favours.

Love them both. I'll go with mashed because I make the instant kind and they are pretty easy. Burp or fart?

Yeah, but unfortunately, the major TV networks have a time frame that they like for the games to fit into. If a game goes over that, they have a hissy. Since the Great and Powerful Bettman has managed to secure contracts with such major networks (NBC in the afternoon on Sundays if there's no football), we are stuck trying to fit the game into their little time frame. I'd rather play until someone wins too, but I'd rather see a shootout than have the game cut off in overtime because they don't want to upset people tuning in for Dynasty reruns- or whatever they show on the channels that Bettman works out a contract with next.

Maybe we could make everybody happy by having the game end in a tie- one point for each team, but having the shootout just for s***s&giggles and bragging rights.

The problem with the shoot out is that it is an individual effort rather than a team effort- or so people say. I think that a hockey game is a culmination of individual efforts, and the shootout only adds individual efforts from four people (three shooters and a goalie) unless they go to extra shooters. If we really want to make it a team effort, put every player from each team out on the ice with a puck, yell "GO!" and have them all shoot at the same time. The team with the most pucks in the net wins. Yes, I'm kidding, but it would be fun to watch. You can bet the goalies would be making crucial saves throughout the game to avoid the tie at all costs. I do think that SO wins should count as wins, but I also like them not counting as a tie-breaker. It gives them a bit more of the bastard status that they deserve.

Like my sister says, "You don't have to turn off your ovaries to watch hockey." I liked hockey long before I liked boys. The cute boys are icing (as in frosting) on the cake.

Totally depends on the type. Peach pie and white cake trump, but I'm not sure which I'd choose head-to-head. I guess I'll go with the bigger slice. Oh, man. It just occurred to me just how good peach pie filling would be on white cake instead of the frosting. Old-fashioned heavy thick frosting, or the newfangled stuff that's all air?

The last movie (and I think the only movie) I saw at a drive-in was Crocodile Dundee. I didn't see the first part because we were late because we had to find an offsale that would believe that I was of age. Wow. That was like, a quarter century ago. The person below me is doing a remodeling project.

Only the first one, and they changed so much from the book that I never saw another. Some changes I understand- shorten the film, ease of filming, don't have the technology, etc.- but when Hagrid said that he bought Fluffy from an Irishman, that was WTF? In the book he bought him from a Greek, which makes sense since it is a creature from Greek mythology. Why Irishman? That blew the whole thing for me. No more movies. Just the books. The person below me eats Skittles because their friends do and not because they like them.
