I suggest that you stop over at Matt's place at The Quintessentially Questionable Query Experiment.
He's critiquing my query today.

Or, in this case, it could be one that might make you smile. It's been a hard week for me, and I needed a laugh on this Friday.
So here is my Nonsense Post from August 8, 2011
I got tagged by the lovely Nancy S. Thompson for this meme. I debated whether or not to take it up, and decided there was some potential for humor here. You can decide if I succeeded or not.
1. What do you call your drawers?
Drawers
Do you have any commonly used nicknames for them?

I think that is the nickname.

2. Have you ever had that supposedly common dream of being in a crowded place in only your bloomers?
No, but as a child I would sometimes dream
I had absolutely nothing on.
However, in the typical way of childhood, that didn't trouble me.
Now? At my age it's best to cover up as much as possible.

3. What is the worst thing you can think of to make long johns out of?
Wool. Absolutely wool. It would itch like crazy.
4. If you were a pair of small clothes, what color would you be, and WHY?
Green. Definitely green. It's my favorite color.
But I must admit these pirate long johns are quite stylish.

5. Have you ever thrown your bloomers at a rock star or other celebrity? If so, which one(s)? If not, which one(s) WOULD you throw your bloomers at, given the opportunity?
Please! Such a waste of fabric! It costs so much to sew anymore.
To say nothing about being vulgar and unrefined.

6. You’re out of clean drawers. What do you do?
Um, wash them. Duh!

7. Are you old enough to remember Underoos? If so, did you have any? Which ones?
Ah, yes, Underoos. My older children wore them.

8. If you could have any message printed on your long johns, what would it be?
These days, the options are endless. Eve Gaal over at The Desert Rocks and I emailed about this since she got tagged, too, and I like what her brother suggested:
Save Your Soul

9. How many bloggers does it take to put small clothes on a goat?
Zero, since we're in the cybersphere rather than real life.

I close with the lyrics that I used for Week 6 of Poetry Summer here
from a song we sang at Girl Scout Camp in the Philippines.
from a song we sang at Girl Scout Camp in the Philippines.
Long Johns
author unknown
sung to the tune of Bye Bye Blackbird (corrected from original post)
I have lost my underwear.
I don't care; I'll go bare.
Bye bye, long johns.
They were very close to me
Tickle me. He he he.
Bye bye, long johns
If you see them you'll know where to find me
With my bare bum stickin' out behind me.
I have lost my underwear.
I don't care; I'll go bare.
Long johns, bye bye.
Like cyberchocolate that has no fat and no calories, it also has no taste. Just like this meme.
Now I'm supposed to share the wealth, so to speak, and have others give their thoughts about their unmentionables.
Hmmm ... who don't I like?
Just kidding! I won't be the least bit offended if any of you don't take this up.
So, did I make you smile? Or just roll your eyes and shake your head?
Hey, I titled it Nonsense Post. You were warned.
Hi Donna loved this post, most entertaining had a few laughs along the way. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Thanks for the Friday chuckle :)
ReplyDeleteGreat query! :D
ReplyDeleteI've never put this much thought into underwear before. LOL
Cute post! Now, I believe I'll go check out your loverly query.
ReplyDeleteSaw the query - awesome!
ReplyDeleteLaughed out loud - for real. Thanks I needed that.
hahaha wow tons of thoughts on underwear, the cat simply goes bare..haha
ReplyDeleteThat's cute. I agree that wool would be the worst underwear EVER!
ReplyDeleteNoooooooo, not the panty meme again. I thought this thing was gone for good. Ah, well, it's still funny the second time. Let's just hope it doesn't start spreading like a virus again.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, Donna. And good for you for sending that query to Matt!
Hey, I remember this!
ReplyDeleteStopped by Matt's for a comment. Nice job, I hope you're happy with the results!
I'm so glad you reposted this. It's hilarious :) I'm off to check out Matt's blog. Have a Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteLoved the post... loved the query critique.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry - I'm just visiting but I HAVE to leave this.
ReplyDeleteThe Underwear Song (sung to the tune of...well, you'll know.)
God bless my underwear
My only pair
They are rotten
And all cotton
But they're mine so I treat them with care
From the laundry to the washer to the dryer to my rear
God bless my underwear
My only pair
God bless my underwear
Or I'll go bare.
i remember this one =)
ReplyDeletestill funny the second time!
The goat wearing clothes is a crazy pic. It made me smile. Yep, it doesn't take much...
ReplyDeleteHilarious! And I agree - wool is so itchy. I can't imagine the suffering that would come from wearing woolen long johns! Lovely to "meet" you and learn more about you :)
ReplyDeleteThe EVIL panty meme has been tamed! Way to talk around that one ;)
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this meme before. good choice
ReplyDeleteHah! I remember this. How fun. :)
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeletePants have it... Great Deja Vu! An amusing end of week peek in the underwear department... ;)
best
F
This was a fun meme! It's a great one to repost.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining the Blogfest!
Thanks for the laugh!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they didn't ask, "Tighty-whitey or Briefs?" :)
ReplyDeleteThere can never be too much humor! Thanks for taking part in the blogfest and helping to make today special. :)
Wow, a whole blogpost about unmentionables! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI hope you got the information you needed to spiff up your query without too much fingernail biting! I noticed most people had good things to say!
Just thinking about wool underwear makes me itch! Visiting from the Deja Vu Blogfest. Nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteI loved all the pictures you chose. Such a cute post! I cover up as much as possible now, too.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck on your query experiment!
Ah, the infamous panty meme! This was so much fun back in the summer. :) Great choice for the blogfest - laughing is good for the soul!
ReplyDeleteYes, enjoyed the underoos reference (was that the "underwear that's FUN to wear"?). What a fun re-post! Nice to find you!
ReplyDeleteGreat re-post, and nice to meet you, Donna! When I was a child, I would have given anything for a pair of Wonder Woman Underoos. This is probably not something I should admit ...
ReplyDeleteUnderoos really didn't look fun to wear. And wool is the worst. I don't even do nylon sweaters - wool ones would make me come unglued.
ReplyDeleteI am embroidering Save Your Soul on my drawers as I type this. Funny post!
ReplyDeleteThis is a delightful post Donna! What a giggle! Love it. The puppy pic reminds me of my little toy dog who sulks if I put her in fur and bling!
ReplyDeleteThanks for following my blog. I've followed yours too!
Denise
So cute! Haven't thought of that song in years!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for this fun post! Love it!
ReplyDeletefun post! thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that you reposted this. And to think, you were so nervous posting the first time around!! It's definitely a classic, Donna!
ReplyDeleteLOL love this post :)
ReplyDeleteyou definitely made me smile:) And I HATE when you buy underwear that doesn't work/fit proper. However, I will toss them cuz I just can't deal with ill-fitting panties.
ReplyDeleteA lot of underwear questions, weren't there?
ReplyDeleteAh, yes. I remember this meme doing the rounds. Very funny.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this underwear meme before! Quite hilarious!
ReplyDelete...have to confess that "underoos" is alien to me...
I did this one a few months ago. I had C3PO and WOnder Woman underoos. :) I miss them dearly.
ReplyDeleteFunny stuff. This underwear meme brought a smile to my face.
ReplyDeleteThat made me smile Donna, thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteHilarious! What a great post about underwear! *snort* And yes. Wool undergarments. Can you imagine??? I guess back then it was all about staying warm. I do remember, and I did NOT have Underoos. I'm still very bitter about it. ;p
ReplyDeleteI think I smiled, rolled my eyes, shook my head, and then smiled again.
ReplyDeleteGlad these drawers got to see the light of day... twice.
Sometimes we need a little nonsense. That was fun. Thanks for checking out my blog during the blogfest last month!
