Play for Fun and Fame and Prizes!


Ok, I'm lying about Fame and Prizes. But I am led to believe by Kwiz and Snarkela (see comments on the 10 on Tuesday post below) that this might be Fun.

Introducing
THE GAL GAME


The Gal Herself has been blogging relentlessly for four years this month. With all that unfettered blabbing, she has revealed much. In fact, regular readers may know just about all there is to know about her.
Or do you?

See if you can respond to these completely Gal-Centric questions correctly. While there may not be one right answer, some answers will undoubtedly be right-er. The decision of the judge (me) will be final.

1) The Gal comes across $50 in found money. That's cash, with no strings attached. What will she do with it?

2) It's Sunday night at about 10:00. The Gal is looking back upon her weekend and is upset with herself because once again she has failed to do something. What is it she means to do almost every weekend, but seldom does? (No, the answer we're looking for is not, "have sex," though it would be true.)

3) Of course The Gal has more Paul McCartney songs (Beatle and solo) on her iPod than any other artist. But who comes in (a distant) second?

4) The Gal never does something that most American adults do at least several times a week, if not every day. What is it? (No, the answer we're looking for is not, "have sex," though it would be true.)

5) Who is The Gal's all-time, miles-above-everyone-else hero/idol/role model? You get extra credit if you know why.

6) There's a TV show The Gal loves, even though she knows it's shameful trash. What is this guilty pleasure? (Clue: It's on right now as I compose this.)

7) While she hates the heat, there are some things that come along with warm weather that The Gal loves. Name one.

8) The Gal donated money to two political campaigns that she now feels owe her a refund. Whose campaigns were they?

9) Which author's recent death made The Gal very sad?

10) The Gal is online ... again! If she's not reading blogs or answering emails, what is she most likely doing?

Boy, it's really weird to write about yourself in the third person.

  2. Okay, I'll try:

    1) Buys food for the guy on the street and for his cat.

    2)Agree totes with vivian: cleaning or clearing clutter

    3) I should know this but nothing came to mind. When I saw Viv's answer, I still thought "that's not right" but it could be. I have to pass. (HORRORS!)

    4)My first thought was 'drink coffee' but driving is good too.

    5)Maddux, of course. Why? Well, he's representative of all that the Cubs embody. (<--- made that up but could be!) She just digs him.

    6)IDOL! Woot Woot!

    7)Yeah, no question on this - baseball (cubs variety) has been berry berry good to Gal

    8)Blago and Edwards

    9)I can't recall without cheating. It's sort of on the tip of my tongue but I'd have to go back and verify so PASS. (booo)

    10) surfing around/farting around

    (I know Kwiz is gonna beat my ass on this one!)

    2) Attack of the clutter! (I know this because I'm the same)

    3) Distant second male would be The Boss, distant second female would be Barbara

    5) I'm going out on a limb on this one and going with Jackie O.

    6) Idol (although I almost put NCIS as it's also on)

    7) Baseball and pedicures!

    8) Blago and Kerry

    9) Dick Francis, I think that's his name
