Your questions today
Now who are you?
I have devised easy questions. If you will answer them, I will know so much about you, I think.
Please, everyone who comes by, answer. I've made it so even anonymous can comment now.
The Questions
1. Blazing Saddles. Funny, offensive, or never seen it?
2. You and your mom. Who calls who?
3. A Prairie Home Companion. True entertainment, comforting background noise, highly irritating?
4. Should all cultures be forbidden from practicing female circumcision on little girls, or should all cultures be honored?
5. The series Sex in the City. Good or bad?
6. A change you made for your health at least 5 years ago that you've never gone back on.
7. Marry, One Night Stand, Kill: Hillary Clinton John McCain, Roger Ebert. (Don't complain that it's an unappealing line up. You must chose.)
Goody goody everyone pitch in.
I'll post last.

Oooh, those are good. And so bizarre!
1. Blazing Saddles: It's been so long since I've seen it (I think I was, like, TEN years old) but my first thought was "funny" so I'll go with that.
2. Who calls who? I call my mom, only because she is so afraid of interrupting my life.
3. Prairie Home Companion: highly irritating. In fact, when I made my profile for match.com, I specifically said "No PHC fans". Dislike of that show is one of the many things my love and I have in common.
4. ABSOLUTELY BAN FEMALE CIRCUMCISION. It's barbaric and unbearable cruel to little girls who have no say in the matter. If they grow up and and want it done, that's a different story.
5. Sex and the City: meh. Good for mindless entertainment I suppose, but bad for making women think that that lifestyle is anything close to reality.
6. Health change that I've stuck with: I don't smoke pot anymore. Not so much for my health though, it just isn't fun anymore.
7. Are you trying to kill me?! Ok. I'd marry Hillary, I'd have a one night stand with Ebert and I'd kill McCain. God...what choices!!
So what do my answers tell you about me? Yikes.
Can't wait to see yours.
1) Blazing Saddles: I've never seen it, but I imagine I would find it funny considering a. it stars Gene Wilder and b. the clip i just watched was hilarious.
2) My mom calls me every Tuesday as a ritual, but also calls any time she wants to ask question, tell me about her classes, rant about my stepdad, etc. I call her when I need info, when I'm having a bad day and need someone on my side, when I miss her.
3) highly irritating.
4) i don't know... i'm mortified at the practice of female circumcision, am a raging feminist and find misogynist societies despicable, but i also believe that cultures are valuable because of their differences, and in order to understand humanity i should allow myself to be wholly open to those differences...
5) Sex in the City is amazing. I love it.
6) i don't think i've ever made a change in my health that i've never gone back on.
7) Marry: Roger Ebert because i love film, and he's a film critic, and therefore we could have lots of stimulating conversation.
One Night Stand: Hillary Clinton. I respect her ... gumption? ... in running for president...? I don't know.
Kill: sigh. I don't like to think that I would kill anyone, and I don't necessarily have a huge animosity towards McCain, but that's how the selection pans out...
okay. :)
1. Blazing Saddles, funny as hell.
2. Mom always calls me before I'm ready to psychologically handle the last phone call.
3. A Prairie Home Companion - never heard the radio show living in New England, but I loved the movie.
4. I would have to say forced circumcision on either gender should be prohibited. Our culture supports male circumcision. But what they told me in advance about it not hurting or harming my son, and the reality of my 12 hour old son screaming in pain makes me beg to differ. The only real benefit is that if he ever were to join the army, he does not have to worry about having that surgery as a grown man.
5. Sex in the City - neither good nor bad. Kinda don't care either wayl.
6. Honestly, 5 years ago I was in a pretty bad place. The only change I made that I will never, ever go back on is that I will never again let a man or a relationship get in the way of being a good mother.
7. Are you sure these are my only choices? Because I don't like any of them. Marry - Hillary, I can always divorce her bitch ass later, and I most definitely will. One night stand, Roger Ebert, I don't mind him. Kill John McCain - but I must add that no matter how much I don't want to vote for someone, I would never advocate killing them. I swear I just posted about this on my blog.
1) funny chuckle, not HAHAHAHAHA
2) whichever
3) zzzz (reminds me of being carsick in the back of a big-ass Lincoln my mom used to drive)
4) Ban ban ban. what Kate said. I don't have as much respect for cultures that injure people who can't advocate for themselves.
5) Never seen it.
6) I eat meat now.
7) One night, Hilary I guess. Kill McCain. Marry Roger Ebert, if I wouldn't have to consummate the marriage. His doughy face gives me the willies.
1. never seen blazing saddles
2. my mom and i call each other
3. PHC is irritating
4. ban circumcision (boys and girls)
5. SaTC: show = bad, movie = worse
6. can't think of any major health changes that i haven't gone back on!
7. marry ebert (think of all the movie dates!), one night with hillary (that's about as much of her as i could stand) and kill mccain.
1.) Mostly kinda stupid, and occasionally funny. Not offensive.
2.) She calls me. Occassionally i remember to call her, but the subconcious is a wonderful thing, so mostly i forget.
3.) I am SO over PHC. He hasn't done anything new in 20 years. However, none of your choices fit. How about boring?
4.)all cultures forbidden.
5.) good diversion, but not filling.
6.) regular exercise.
7.) one night stand- John McCain, because that would probably kill him. I'm gonna marry Hillary and kill Roger Ebert, later.
Fun....
1. Funny
2. She died last December but I still try and call her sometimes.
3. Never listened to it.
4. BAN IT. PERIOD.
5. Love it!
6. I quit skate boarding. Finally.
7. Marry Ebert, sleep with Hil, and just put McCain in a burlap bag, duct taped and stapled, in a closet. For years.
1. Funny , funny and funny.
2. If I don't call mom, she calls me with a tone of suppressed panic.
3. Highly irritating, yet oddly familiar.
4. I'm against circumcision for both male and female. They used to disembowel people too.
5. I liked watching Sex in the City, but hated that I liked it.
I can't watch it now--too much camp.
6. I stopped eating. (Slight exaggeration).
7. Hillary: one night stand.
John Mcain (can't kill- federal offense to make such a threat, but I'd slip him a Mickey.
Roger Ebert-- Close my eyes and one night stand.
Alright, Imez, you're on.
1. Um. Just dumb, I thought. I appreciate that it's a classic, but it's not really my type of humor. I am constantly reprimanded for not liking Mel Brooks' stuff...or Monty Python.
2. I call my Mom. She's got more of a life than I do.
3. PHC - I loved listening to it with my Mom back in high school. I have fond memories of it, but don't know that it's aged that well with me now. Never saw the movie.
4. BE DONE WITH FEMALE CIRCUMCISION, period.
5. I bet this will surprise you - as dark and crass as I am, I LOVE SATC. It's truly my guilty pleasure. Oh, the shame. (wink!)
6. It's not 5 years, but I have to go with quitting smoking. I NEVER...EVER thought I could. Victory!
7. Yig.
McCain - don't have to kill him, he'll collapse soon enough. Marry? Ebert, I suppose as Hillary is too butch, ultimately. I love Hillary though so a one-night stand is feasible. God knows, I've had worse.
Thanks for an always interesting post!
