Plastic, because our Wal-Mart does a plastic bag drive at the local schools. It gives the schools money for recycling plastic bags through them. The kids really get on it.

I like furry, but both Foggi and Mrs. Espy are allergic, so it's really a moot question for me.

Detective. Might actually be able to hold a decent conversation with him.

Impossible questions or impossible answers?

**sets watch and goes to get a deck chair and popcorn to watch and see how long THIS one takes**

Should specify this was in response to #64

Impossible questions, more fun to argue about over a couple of beers.

Campfire or house fire (in a fireplace i mean)

>64 MsDonna:, sorry, but I have to ask, do you shave your cats?

**Runs back for her lawn chair and popcorn.**

#69 of course I don't shave my cat - I'm not insane. My husband shaves him. I've posted a pic of him below so you can see how happy he looks after.

#68

Campfire (only because I don't have an indoor fireplace)

Paper or canvas?

With regard to #69 - Well crap... now I have to spend the ENTIRE Saturday afternoon trying to gouge out my inner eye. And my outer ones as well.

:-) my sincerest apologies to anyone who may have been distressed by the image I posted previously. I can recognise that people may have been offended by the image so I'm re-posting a pic of Moo (post shave and makeup) that is more appropriate.

Oddly, I'm at a loss for words, so I'll just ignore the picture.

Canvas. We always bring our own canvas bags to the store.

Bikini.

That picture reminds me of a song... lol.
"She wore an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini..." =)

My cat waxes, its a horrific thing honestly...

Lake, on most days

Touch a rat, or the thing pictured in #71

Rat, I had a rat named Kiki Farnham.

Eat a worm or a bug?

Oh good lord, why must I always tune in when the questions are disgusting?

Um, may I have the option of frying, smoshing, or otherwise dismantling the worm/bug? If so, worm - fewer discernible parts.

Frodo or Sam? (I might add, this is totally a trick question - answer wrong, and I will likely never respect you again for as long as we both shall HE on LT. Or for an our. Or something like that.)

Sam. Frodo seems like a killjoy.
*Wonders if I've just lost aglaia's respect. Wonders if I ever got any respect to begin with. :o) *

Coffee, black, just like Capt. Janeway

I Love Lucy
(I haven't watched that in awhile)

Touchscreen (computer, phone, etc) or regular buttons

Hmm, I think legos. I don't know megablocks. Is that wrong?

Kermit or big bird?

Well, even though BB is one of my peoples, I have to go with Kermie.

Sunrise or sunset?

Is that because BB is yellow like SBFP?

Well yes, and because he's bent like a hairpin like SBFP. Are all yellow imaginary characters gay?

Sunrise! I love mornings!

#96, the yellow power ranger wasn't gay.

Sweeping or vacuuming?

#97 - True, but he is at least marginally human whereas SBFP is a cleaning product and BB is a sort of post apocalyptic DNA enhanced cross between a canary, a turkey and a WWF goon. A don't get me started on the hairy elephant he hangs with....

Vacuuming. It scares the cat.

Rare or well-done?

Um. Somewhere in-between.

You know, I spent my childhood thinking BB was a girl. I think it was the blue eyeshadow. I also thought Pooh bear's friend rabbit was a girl. I was surprised years later when they said there were no strong female characters on children's television.

Digress or stay on topic?

Digress. I much better at that than I am at staying on topic.

#99 -- BB's voice was done by a girl, I believe. And I can see how you'd think that about Rabbit.

Sesame Street or Fraggle Rock?

I take the hidden choice of The Muppet Show, you can't go wrong with a show where one week you've got John Denver and the next week it's Alice Cooper!

Read the instructions or figure it out on your own?

#274 Photograph, I think. They capture the beauty (or ugly) of the real world. Although paintings can be nice.

256 Chelsea I agree, as a native Californian when we moved to MN it was very unnerving during tornado season. I especially hated it when I was alone with the girls. Earthquakes don't happen every summer.

(Iʻve had a lot of both, most of it happy in either place. hardly makes a difference if the (pblic in my case) transportation is good; but enjoy being within the big city limits -- the cities in my case being Boston and Honolulu.)

Honolulu ;-)

(Since no either/or was given, I decided to go with the two cities mentioned!)
