The War Room: June 24-30, 2007

[Longhorn_Platinum]

:moo: It's time to start thinking about those July 4 decorations, if you're inclined to festoon for the big day. Or, plan where you'll be watching your fireworks. So much to do this week. I have to go to a conference to become certified to teach advanced placement classes. Can you believe? Some dimwit education bureaucrats think you need special certification to teach the kids who show up on time, listen to the teacher, behave themselves, & compete for class rank. The EASY classes. You need special certification for that. That just goes to show what morons are running our education system.

:idea:This week's questions:
1. American Graffiti, or Grease?
I have never seen either one of them, and that was on purpose. They are not my cup of tea.
2. How many letters are there in total in your name?
20
3. Which teacher stands out in your mind from your school days as the one having the most influënce/greatest impression on you?
Maybe Mrs. Rehn, I guess. I had her for 7th grade homeroom, as well as Typing I and II in high school, as well as Spanish from 6th Grade till I quit taking it at the end of 10th. There may be others. She was older than the other teachers, and very strict. I liked her.
4. Have you ever driven a sports car, and if so which make/model?
Nope. Never cared to, but I did sit in the driver's seat of a Corvette once. I felt like I was lying on my back!
5. What color of food would you NEVER eat?
Not eating certain foods has to do with taste, not color. For example I hate broccoli. It's gross.
6. How many vehicles have you owned in your lifetime?
Seven, but if I count the Japanese thing I bought with a live-in girlfriend one time, then it's eight. I usually don't count that car, because I didn't buy it for myself, and would never have bought anything Japanese otherwise.
7. Do you put mayonnaise on your hot dogs?
No.
8. What is your favorite Carly Simon song?
Don't have one.
9. What is your favorite Paul McCartney (without the Beatles) song?
I don't know. Maybe Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey or Live and Let Die.
10. Have you ever scored a grand slam?
I might have, but I don't remember any more. The only ball playing I ever did was in gym class in school. I could hit a ball pretty good, that is if the bat came into good, clean contact with it, which didn't happen often.

Any color is fine, its the taste that throws me off

Boy I really miss the War Room. It was a lot of fun answering the questions each week, and reading everyone else's answers. I don't have that kind of imagination to be able to come up with those questions though, or I'd volunteer.

Hey, what happened to the entire month of July, and this much of August? Someone went on vacation, obviously. ;)
