Would you...

1. Buy grapes even if they were more than .99 a lb?

2. Vote for George Clooney for President?

3. Vote for Oprah for President?

4. Go to a U2 concert?

5. Go to a Gaither Homecoming?

6. Buy a new... or used car?

7. If you had to choose, rather lose the ability to hear or see?

8. Try a spin class?

9. Rather eat escargot...or squirrel meat?

10. Rather jump off your house or jump out of a moving car?

Ten random questions for you today...oh, and this blog is dedicated in loving memory to Jack the fish. May he rest in peace (in the sewers in underground Nashville). When Sheryl told Maddie and Ella about Jack, Ella got upset and Maddie just explained to all of us the natural order of things...Fish die first, then snakes (please..let THEM die first), then dogs and THEN people. Just in case you didn't know.

Jenni said...

1. I can't remember when I bought grapes for less than $1.00, so yes.
2. no
3. no
4. like U2, hate concerts, so, no
5. probably not
6. not anytime soon - prefer to buy new, though
7. used to have very very bad eyes (thank you LASIK!) - would rather not hear than not see again - though if I had a choice, I wouldn't lose either one
8. no, I don't really exercise
9. escargot is pretty tasty
10. depends on how fast the car is moving....

Beaner said...

1. Maybe, as long as they're seedless

2. Maybe. Actors are just as good as anybody else we've got out there!

3. Probably not. I like Oprah, but I just don't see it.

4. YES! Got any tickets???

5. No.

6. Have bought both.

7. I'd rather not hear (I could feel the music) but I'd freak if I went blind

8. Yes - Actually sounds fun!

9. Neither - gross!!!!

10.Hmm...jumping off of my house would be hard because of my fear of heights, but I'd have the possibility of landing in the bushes, so it could be safer than jumping out of a moving car. But how fast IS the car going? If it's slow enough, yeah I'd jump from a car. I own a 'Worst Case Scenario' book, so I already know how to do either one effectively! ;)

BTW - My kids & hubby just bought me some new fish for my B-day! (I have 3 fishtanks!) May Jack Rest in Peace!

Craig said...

1. no, grapes are overrated
2. no, but he is a good doctor
3. no, she would whip me to no end
4. Without a doubt
5. no, my parents and in-laws try to take us every year, could not do it
6. New, for the smell
7. I need to see, not hearing people complain about things that don't mean anything ight be nice
8. I might do a Sit and Spin class
9. Squirel, I bet it tastes likie chicken
10. Moving car cause then I might hurt my butt or back again and could have surgery again.

Kelley said...

1. If they aren't bruised
2. No NOOOOOOOOOO
3. No NOOOOOOOOOOOO
4. No
5. Maybe, are the tickets free (not really my kind of tunes, but if it's free why not.)
6. Depends. New van. Old MG.
7. Need my eyes. I'm a photographer, but hoping to keep them both.
8. NO!
9. Pass
10. Moving car, I think my chances are better. My house is a two story.

Jacinda said...

1. Yes, but I don't really like to.
2. probably not
3. hmm...maybe
4. I guess so but it's not something I desire.
5. yes
6. used...new would be a dream
7. hear....I would HATE to lose the ability to see.
8. sure
9. squirrel meat...
10. depends on how fast the car is going!

Katherine said...

1. Yes, I am not even sure how much I pay for them now...
2. Possibly
3. Nope
4. Umm...I think I would saw off my left arm to get to a U2 concert-LOVE them!!
5. Probably not
6. I am still paying off the one I have...
7. If I HAD to choose...hearing
8. Yes, I think it would be fun
9. Squirrel meat-just don't tell me that's what it is ;)
10. Well, my "house" is 3 stories tall right now, so maybe I should go with the moving car...

Tim Castle said...

1. Yes, but only if I really wanted them, or if they were there.
2. No; he's already had the job, in "Spy Kids" movies.
3. No; it would be a waste of her diplomatic skills.
4. Yes, but I'd want to sit somewhere that I didn't have to smell the smoke of the recreational herbologists.
5. Been there. Twice. Loved every minute. I miss Jake Hess, J.D. Sumner, Vestal Goodman, Bob Cain, and Brock Speer, if not just for their voices, also for their spirits. I covet David Phelps' voice. And Guy Penrod's hair.
6. Used. I'd hate to think that I was putting my spare change into an ashtray that had been used for ashes.
7. Seeing. I can learn music by ear as well as by reading, but I can't stand looking at a piece of music and not hearing what it sounds like.
8. No. Makes me dizzy thinking about it. (evil grin)
9. Depends on how they're fried.
10. My house, so long as my kids are there to see how much it hurts, so they'll never try it for themselves. And to kiss my owies.

Steven J Bruce said...

1. No, I hate grapes
2. no, but I bet his speeches would be pretty good
3. no, she may hand out her "prizes" instead of tax cuts.
4. YES, YES, YES!!!!
5. only for the first 2 hours (don't those things go on for like a hundered years?)
6. used
7. see, taking away my hearing would be like death
8. I probably should; but I have no idea what it is...do you get to sit on one of those little wheels like when you were a kid?
9. squirrel meat; I bet with a little A1 it would taste like ...oh, never mind
10. house, it's a ranch.

Clarissa said...

1. Yes.
2. No.
3. No.
4. Yes, if someone wanted me to go with them.
5. Yes, if someone wanted me to go with them. Probably not of my own accord, although I believe all music is worth listening to. I just don't generally prefer Southern Gospel, but some of it has beautiful harmony and I find myself singing along if I catch it on TV or something.
6. Used, definitely.
7. Probably see, if I could find people to drive me where I needed to go. I could learn braille. Losing my hearing would be very frustrating to me especially in regards to my voice -- I wouldn't be able to be sure how I sound, speaking or singing, though I'd bet we all have certain feelings in our throats for various pitches. I'd still be able to hear in my head any music I could see on a page, though, so I could still read, play, arrange, compose, etc. (Audiation -- a cool thing.)
8. Yes, I'd try. Might get laughed at, but I'd try if someone wanted me to or made me.
9. Escargot.
10. Jump off my house. One level, lush lawn. Generally, moving cars (no matter how fast) are on very hard, non-cushy surfaces in my world. But I'd choose "neither" if it was offered as an option.

Wendy Power said...

1. Yes, but I feel like I'm being robbed as I grew on a raisin farm and picked all I wanted in season for free (sort of).
2. Nope.
3. Nope.
4. Yep.
5. Yep.
6. I never thought we would, but we just bought new a few months ago. I really like our new car!
7. This one's tough, as I only have half my hearing, and my husband's legally blind. Do I have to answer?
8. Um...nope.
9. Snails. Butter and garlic delivery device.
10. The house, I think.

RIP Jack. Fish in my household have a life expectancy that can be measured with a stopwatch. My black thumb with plants feels less like murder than my effect on fish, so I avoid fish.

Stephen Bailey said...

This is fun! A wonderful way to honor Jack!
1. Yes.
2. Who is he running against?
3. The whip of all whips.
4. Absolutely! Every week if I could! It's church if you're paying attention. They are my favorite worship band! I would try to get a seat near the recreational herbologists.
5. If my schedule and the tickets were free, I'd like to have the experience. But I couldn't go with true fans. That would drive me insane.
6. Used. Always.
7. Always a difficult one, but I'd rather lose my hearing. I want to see my girls grow up.
8. I'll try just about anything once.
9. Escargot smothered in butter. I love it!
10. My house is no that high. Anyway, I fall off every Christmas putting lights up.

Dwiggy444 said...

Thanks for asking!

1. Grapes? For 99 cents a pound? Um...OK, sure.

2. Is he running? I think I'd prefer Robin Williams over George...Clooney. :-)

3. No - what experience does she have in public office? Yes, she appears to have a good heart and might be good in public office someday, but she doesn't seem qualified to lead the entire country, making decisions about wars and budgets and such.

4. Have been and would probably go again. Of course Bono was probably a little easier on the ears in 1987...but I'd go again just to hear the golden oldies (New Years Day, 40, I Will Follow).

5. Probably not...unless my dying Mother asked me to go as her last request. :-)

6. I'd probably go used - my wife and I have been making car payments for WAY too many years.

7. I'd rather see than hear. God's Creation is way too beautiful to NOT see.

8. No way - I get dizzy way too easily.

9. Escargot. I've got a can in my caibnet right now - want me to send it to ya?

10. Jumping off my house has always been tempting. Jumping out of a moving car, unless it's a VERY controlled siuation, is WAY too risky...even for me.

Drew Battistelli said...

1. no
2. no
3. no
4. no
5. no
6. either
7. lose my sight
8. yes
9. squirrel meat
10. jump off my house

Katherine said...

So, Brandon-what are your answers? :)

Peggy N Texas said...

1. Yes, I love grapes. Did you know they last longer if you pull them off to store?
2. Probably not.
3. Why?
4. Probably not.
5. I might.
6. Still have the new car we bought in 1970 - an Olds Cutlass convertible and she is a beauty! So no need to buy new anymore!
7. Hear, because I love to watch my grandchildren as they grow and I do all kinds of handwork.
8. I don't like to exercise!
9. Squirrel as I have tried escargot.
10. I'm too old for either of these. Why would I want to do either?

Brandon Scott Thomas said...

OK...here goes...
1. Would I? Yes...Sheryl, no!
2. No.
3. No--both of them are doing some good things...things that are probably more effective than if they were in office.
4. Oh yeah, baby! Brad Voss...when are we goin??
5. Maybe.
6. Used, for sure. And need one!
7. Neither. What a dumb question.
8. Um, yeah.
9. Escargot...if served properly.
10. See answer to 7. But..if I had to choose, the house.

Val said...

1. Sometimes
2. No.
3. No.
4. Absolutely.
5. Maybe. Not necessarily my thing, but they sure seem to be having fun and they are talented in their own way.
6. Used.
7. What? Hearing is happening as we speak, so I choose that one.
8. Sure.
9. I hate squirrels but love it when they're dead. I guess I'll go with squirrels. Still, to me it's like eating a rat and that's just gross.
10. I'll take house but would be tempted to try both by jumping off a motor home.

Val said...

One more thing, I guess you're lucky that carry-on restrictions are what they are. I was going to bring you a rattlesnake when I come to the conference. Oh well. Maybe next time...

Unknown said...

1. I prefer grapes picked by migrant laborers, the cheaper the better.
2. Uhm, no.
3. Uhm, hell no.
4. Of course.
5. What’s that? (kidding, but no)
6. Rather have the new car money and buy two used cars.
7. Hear, music is stupid.
8. Sounds like exercise, so no.
9. Either sounds fine.
10. Car. Much less danger of injury (according to TV shows)
