Friday Acronym Challenge!!

Well, it’s that time again for an award and a new word. This week I really had a hard time choosing. My favorites were Grend31’sHirsute Ovular Mush Engorged & Ready” (thanks for using my favorite H-word), and VegasGustan’sHiccups, Ouch, Mine Eventually Reak” was fun. I almost gave the award to myself for, “How Oprah Manages Emasculation Repeatedly” or to Grend31 for his ,” Happens Once Monthly Everso Regularly”.

But the award goes to…. Beowo1= for adding the extra (DOH) onto his acronym: “Hot Orgy Mama eats Richard. (Dick, or Hardon)”. Very clever.

Week 4: Beowo1= for HOMER (DOH!)
Week 3: VegasGustan for EARTH
Week 2: Thérèse for WATER
Week 1: Grend31 for FIRED

This week’s acronym challenge word is: ANGER

Thanks for playing!

Friday Acronym Challenge: EARTH

Well, it’s time to award the second weekly prize for the acronym challenge. My favorites this week were Grend31’s naughty “Wet Assault Towards Erogenous Regions” and his clever “Wherefore Art Thou Eleanor Rigby?”, along with VegasGustan’s insightful “Walmart And Target Equals Retail-Hell”, and my very own “Wild Ankle Tugging Evening Romp” deserves a little credit, but this week’s winner is Thérèse with “When All Toasters Eat Raisins”. Fruit consuming appliances will almost always win me over.

So here are the standings through this week:

Week 2: Thérèse
Week 1: Grend31

And with all of the space news this week, this week’s acronym challenge word is: EARTH


Escaping, Accelerating, Rocketing Toward Heaven
Eat All Radishes Tuesday Harold
Eager Adolescents Ready To Hump


Thanks for playing!

Friday Acronym Challenge - a little late

Sorry that the challenge is a few days late. I was busy working on our new garage! I also spent the day on Friday drining down to the "sin twitties", as my grandfather puts it, to go to a union meeting. Anyway, on with the award for the first challenge:

I really enjoyed Grend31's "Fisting Ideally Reams Ever-so Dextrously" as well as Mr. K's witty "Fridays inspire redundant entries, dewdew", and my very own "Fireflies: Insects Radiating Energy Display" deserves honorable mention. However, the award goes to.... Grend31 for his ever-so-clever "Foxy Impersonator's Ruse Ensnares Dude". We've all been there, Grend31.

So, here are the results so far:

Week 1: Grend31

And here is the acronym word for week two: WATER

Weekends Always Terminate Extremely Rapidly
Why Are Tomatoes Especially Repulsive
Wieners And Toes Enter Rectum
Washington Apples Tasting Extra Ripe
Woody: A Tempting Erotic Ride

Now, you try...

Tuesday Quickie

Okay, so here's a quick and easy math question for the didn't plan on it but Mr. K asked for it math quizzine series:

When rolling a 20-sided die, what are the odds of rolling a two-digit number?

Bonus question: When rolling a pair of 20-sided dice, what are the odds of rolling two one-digit numbers?

Have fun!

Half of the mail in my mailbox

You know those credit card offers that come in the mail EVERY DAY. You can do something about it… instead of throwing them in the trash, mail them back. Now, don’t include the letter that has your name on it, but mail back all of the advertising material, the fake credit card and anything else that’s nearby. I sometimes mail back the underwear ads from the Sunday paper.

This accomplishes three things:
1) The credit card company has to pay for the postage, so there’s less money in their budget for future mailings
2) It sends the trash back to their state so it doesn’t go in your landfill
3) The post office makes more money off the credit card companies – and they could use the income

Plus, it’s fun to see what kinds of things you can find to put in those postage-paid envelopes!

Of course, you can also mail them back and ask them to take you off their mailing list, but that doesn't always work... and there will be more.

Monday Math Quiz

Here we go again... the Monday Math Quizzine for your pleasure:

You've got someone working for you for seven days and a gold bar to pay them with. The gold bar is segmented into seven connected pieces. You must pay them one piece of gold at the end of every day. If you are only allowed to make two breaks in the gold bar, how do you pay your worker?

Good luck and have fun!!
