Answers, fresh, hot answers
Here we go, the truth:
1. Lie. I do not wear men's boxers, although I vaguely recall a fashion trend from high school-ish where girls wore boxers as shorts and at that time I owned two pairs of boxers but never wore them. I don't understand how you guys wear them anyway seeing as they are so baggy and must get all bunched up under your pants. I am a little disappointed in everyone who guessed this one was true since boxers obviously don't go with smokin' assness and you should have known I was a thong girl all the way. Was that too much information?
2. True. I will not read any book with a picture from a movie on the cover. Although, if this is weird it seems like a whole lot of you are weird with me.
3. Lie. I have no particular affection for Abe Lincoln, and no way was he a hotty. However, as I was lying in bed last night trying to go to sleep I got the brilliant idea of my Pretend Celebrity Boyfriend Clive Owen as Abe Lincoln which I can kind of picture and then, yes, he would be totally hot. Until then though, not so much.
4. Lie. I have no fear of puppets. My irrational fears are horses, termites and any dog smaller than my cat. As irrational fears go I think this is a pretty good list, especially considering that two out of three are things I can just squish.
5. True. I don't think I want to comment on this one. It's true, nuf said.
6. True. I've gotten a lot of questions about this one. I'm talking about a fan vent, not a heating vent, where there are large holes in the sides perfect for towel-stuffing. You reach the vent by standing on the toilet or sink or tub or, if need be, by sending your husband out to get ice and dragging a piece of furniture into the bathroom to stand on. You do this only while you are in there and remove it when you leave so that aforementioned husband doesn't see it and think that you are weird.
On to the winners! Only three people guessed correctly (I think, if you were right and I missed you please let me know) so each will be receiving a fabulous and thrilling Rude Cactus mix cd just as soon as Chris gets around to making it (which may be a while - I love the guy but he isn't exactly the king of follow-through). And the winners are:
Julie, mom to the adorable Raisin and a draft pick to be named later. (She's pregnant, get it?)
Ann, world's hottest grandma to three amazing little ladies.
and
Aurelia, who either does not have or just has not admitted to having a blog, but who loves men with chicken legs.
Posted by Beth at April 19, 2006 07:07 AMHi Beth
First thing I've ever won in my life.
Except for a barbecue grill at a company picnic. We lived in downtown San Francisco and had absolutely no place to use it but it's the though that counts.
Thanks - it was fun.
Great-granny Ann
Posted by: ann adams at April 19, 2006 11:20 AMPlau - it's a birthday present. Wow.
Posted by: ann adams at April 19, 2006 11:21 AMThat was supposed to be plus. I'm not awake.
Posted by: ann adams at April 19, 2006 11:21 AMHeh, I'm sorry I was sick and missed the guessing. I won't buy a book reprinted with the movie pic, either. What weirdo would?
Posted by: Kate the Shrew at April 19, 2006 11:27 AMSo I know I didn't guess (mainly because I was so glad to see that someone else out there shares my hate of movie-book-covers that I was distracted) (gah! I refuse to buy them! REFUSE) but I so love what you and Chris did to this ordinary little meme. Way more fun than your run-of-the-mill meme.
Posted by: Noelle at April 19, 2006 12:38 PMHurray to Ann! I know one of the winners!
I knew that vent thing was true. I just knew it.
I don't wear men's boxers' as underwear-- I wear them as sleepwear. So, I thought that one was true.
Whole lot of fun, guys!
Posted by: jen at April 19, 2006 12:56 PMI never win anything, either. Which just goes to show you how awesome this particular contest was.
Tell Chris I'd like lots of Grateful Dead on my CD. JUST KIDDING!
Posted by: Julie at April 19, 2006 01:05 PMOk, I cannot believe you do #5. We need to get you a job at the UN, stat.
I've considered doing #6, and I often wonder whether there are cameras, but I've never actually stuffed a towel in there.
Posted by: halloweenlover at April 19, 2006 01:10 PMWow, you ARE weird. LOL :)
I'm with Jen on why I guessed the boxers. As a sleepwear thing over underwear of course. I don't understand how they qualify as men's underwear. I mean, come on, they are shorts!
Posted by: ktjrdn at April 19, 2006 01:20 PMBoy was I off...but I too have an unnatural fear of horses!
You, however, had me pegged. I must be a crappy liar.
Posted by: amy at April 19, 2006 02:00 PMI am with you on #6. I'm am so freaked out by them and same with mirrors in bathrooms that aren't my own.
Posted by: Sabrina at April 19, 2006 02:11 PMToo freaking funny. And..um..yes, the thong thing was an overshare. But I'm fraid of them.
Posted by: Melissa at April 19, 2006 02:48 PMTotally with you on number 2!
Posted by: surcie at April 19, 2006 03:42 PMWhere is updated Cactus-Fish pics?? TEE HEE!!!
Posted by: Starfruit at April 19, 2006 09:35 PMGood game. That was quite fun, actually. It seems I made the cardinal error of assuming you were somewhere within the fat part of the bell curve. Weirdo. ;)
Posted by: Gavin at April 19, 2006 10:49 PMDammit, I guessed right but did not take the time to comment. My loss. And #5? I kind of do that to, in my head anyway.
I'm also totally with you on #2. I hate it when they do that.
Posted by: bad penguin at April 20, 2006 10:33 AMyay me, i won. i rarely win anything. cool beans. anyway, how did you know i liked guys with chicken legs? they're hot though. and yeah i don't have a blog because well, my life is so utterly uninteresting that i will not torture the internet people with my mundaneness. heh heh.
Posted by: Aurelia at April 21, 2006 05:12 AMand i have the same problem with the air vents. they freak me out. i will not go into a stall if there is one above me. ugh.
