Nonsense Post

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.

source

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!

source

7. Are you old enough to remember Underoos? If so, did you have any? Which ones?

Ah, yes, Underoos. My older children wore them.

source

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.

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.

Another Tag!

I know. I seem to be posting about being tagged at lot this week. But speaking of yesterday’s post, don’t forget to check out amazing Elana Johnson’s Possession bloghop. Check here for details.

Tag

Today is actually to thank Donea Lee for tagging me. You should go check her out if you don't know her already.

I’m supposed to answer some questions and then tag some others. Here are my answers to the questions posed:

1.  Do you think you're hot? 

2.  Upload a picture or wallpaper you are using at the moment: 

From my trip to Kaua'i last June. That's one of my grandsons on the right at Lydgate Park.

3.  When was the last time you ate chicken? 

Lunch yesterday (grilled in a mesquite with lime marinate—SO good!).

4.  The Song/Songs you listened to recently.

I listen to Pandora.com or stream a local radio station. What’s playing as I write this is Secrets by OneRepublic, Break Your Heart by Taio Cruz, and Rhythm of Love by Plain White Ts (love these guys).

5.  What were you thinking while doing this? 

Can I get this done in time to work on my ms?

6.  Do you have nicknames?  What are they?

Mom and Nana

Who are these people?

#1  Canda is a new blog friend. She’s got a month of giveaways going on in June on her blog, so you should check it out.

#2  Ellie is an awesome SciFi writer from the UK and always posts fun and interesting stuff about writing and about her projects. I think she groks Spock.

#3  Everett is a writer I met on Twitter, who’s been very kind and supportive. He’s pleasant to chat with and more than willing for retweet tweets. Twits. Uh, whatever they’re called. =D

#4  Laura is an author, who also does writing craft posts including fun digital drawings for visual effect. You ought to check out her blog and see what she has there for you.

#5  L.G. is another writer I’ve met around the blogospere. Not only does she post interesting and fun things (and has an awesome blog name—Bards and Prophets—that just makes me want to sit down and talk to her in person), she adds great comments.

#6  Stephanie must be a nerdfighter because she has awesome in her genes. She’s an author (I’m reading her Whitney Award winner ‘Cold as Ice’ right now and loving it) AND she used to live in Ireland! Having just returned from a trip there last April, all I can ask is how lucky is that?

#7  Melanie is in one of my critique groups on David Farland’s Writers groups. She’s another very supportive online friend and said the most touching thing anyone has ever said about my firstborn (book, not child—he lives in China right now).

#8  Robin is our illustrious group leader in my other critique group at David Farland’s . She stayed at my house and dragged me around with her (talk about sociable) at LTUE last February. Better move fast to keep up with her. She writes wonderful, insightful, challenging posts on her blog, and she cohosts Farlands’s Authors Advisory. If you haven’t checked her out yet, you should do it.
