Good night, John Boy


It's true. We are done. We tried, we should have stayed in retirement in the first place.

So.. nothing to see here... move along. We had fun and enjoyed everyone's Thursday Thunks!

Remember, you can still find some of us over at http://www.insanitycafe.com. There is just as much randomness & thunking going on over there, even much more! Feel free to add me (Berleen) on Facebook if you wish - http://www.facebook.com/berleen . I can't speak for Kimber & Bud on their wanting friends. Maybe they have no friends, maybe they like it that way.

Good night, everyone.

The TT questions are brought to you by Berleen, the color of my coffee cup and the number of requests I've gotten to bring this damn thing back.


1. Charlie Sheen is an idiot and will probably end up with his own stupid reality show that will get 40 million viewers the first day and then people will fall asleep and quit watching. What person, celebrity or not, would you watch every eppy of a reality show if they were the center of it all?

2. We all pay bills and wish we didn't have to. We all work and wish we could just lay around all day doing nothing. We all have those grown up responsibilities that we wish we could give to an African Elephant. Besides all the things the African Elephant got from you for the day, what is something from your high school years that you miss most of all?

3. Sometimes we want to grow wings and fly. Whats the farthest you've fallen?

4. There is square bread, wheat bread, circle shaped bread, bread with nuts in it, funny named bread. When you open a bread bag, do you twist it when you are done or put the metal tie thingie back on? (And did you know that if you look at that metal tie thingie, it has a day of the week printed on it?)

5. Some spoiled little brat (hey.. my opinion) called 911 on her teacher because he shook his own desk to get the students attention in the class. (I know, right?) Think back... what clever ways did a teacher of yours use to get the attention of the class or a particular student?

6. Artwork, pictures, notes, appointments. How many magnets are on your refrigerator?

7. Cats are fluffy, dogs are soft, snakes are leathery, fish are wet. What is an animal that you have held or petted that you don't think many people have had the chance?

8. I'm coming to your house to paint your kitchen. I'm bringing the paint. What color should I not have with me?

9. Snow falls down, sometimes sideways. It still ends up on the ground. If snowflakes came in all different colors, which color snowflake would fall the fastest?

10. We caved... well at least I did. Are you glad Thursday Thunks is back?

Have a great day. Or not. See you around.
