Welcome to the 1st of The New Year version of Thursday Thunks!

Please only leave a link if you have written a Thursday Thunks post. Please mention us in your post, and link back to the blog here.
Don't forget to go visit the other participants' blogs. Read and comment about all their Thursday Thunks! Thats what all this is about afterall, isn't it? We'll have so much fun and become lifelong friends....

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Kimber, the color sienna and the number 2009.

1. Would you rather have a pet hippo or a pet elephant?
2. If locked in a cell and music blasted constantly 24/7, what would NOT drive you crazy that might annoy other inmates?

7. You are at someone's house for dinner. It's an important dinner such as meeting the In Laws, with the boss or an important client. The food comes out and all homemade. You take the first bite and nearly puke into your plate. You're sure you'll end up with food poisoning. Do you eat it, pretend to eat and spit it into your napkin or some other clever way to get yourself out of eating it?
8. Do you watch any judge/court shows?
9. Is your nose pierced?

5. Do you like lemons? Do you use them to clean with or just as a food source?

WHAT IS THURSDAY THUNKS?

Thursday Thunks (TT) is a blog meme written by Berleen, Kimber & Bud - because really, they had nothing better to do with their Thursdays. It's for those who need a little kick in the butt to find something to post about. We picked Thursday because... well, it's an odd day. Thursday is odd, isn't it?

And let us warn you... we aren't just going to say something like... "Tell us a story about your last family vacation"... oh no, we are going to make you think thunk about it! Just trust us - you'll love it! You will if you like to think, that is. If you don't like to think... well then, we're sorry.
Your blog posts/answers to TT's can be type or pictures, doesn't matter! YOU pick, not us, we just give you the assignment (yep, just like English class... only we won't grade your spelling & grammer).

How This Whole Thing Works

Check this blog each Thursday for the week's Thursday Thunks - or I've got an idea! Sign up for email notices and we'll send you a little sticky note type reminder. Subscribe by Email
(you will get notices on all blog posts for a StraitJacket & a Padded Room with this link, not just TT's)

We pick a subject, and your job is to interpret it anyway you want. Write about it on your blog... simple as that. Maybe you can interpret it as a picture - we don't care!


When you enter your link on Mr. Linky, you will most likely notice that it says "delete link" next to your name. If you click on that, it will let you delete what you just posted. No one else can see it, just like you can't see the "delete link" next to my name on my computer.

Please only leave a link if you have written a Thursday Thunks post. Please mention us in your post, and link back to the blog here.

Don't forget to go visit the other participants' blogs. Read and comment about all their Thursday Thunks! Thats what all this is about afterall, isn't it? We'll have so much fun and become lifelong friends....
