Welcome to The Queen's Meme #58

It's called the What's In A Name Meme

Today we are going to talk about names. Some of these questions I am going to steal from someone else because....because.....I can. (And because I'm tired) Some of these questions I'm going to make up because...because....I can. And what the heck does this have to do with a doughnut? You'll have to wait til the end of this meme to find out.



1. Your Superhero Name (2nd fave color + fave drink):

2. Your Peace Name (Zen + your last peace globe #) OH! Don't have one yet? Go here.


3. Your American Idol Name (fav car and seafood)

4. If you could pick another name for yourself, what would it be?


5. Your Twitter Name (Chirpie + your favorite bird)


6.  Name 1 thing you wish you'd said today that would have made your day go better?

7. Go HERE to find your Royal Name and reveal it to us. Last week I discovered that I need extra padding on the walls of the dungeon for SOME of you who shall remain nameless....I might need placards for dinner too.

Mine came out like this:

My Royal name is The Pretty Lady Seraphine.

I kid not!

which I much prefer to my Doughnut Name which came out

Munchkin Glenda Sprinkled

Who wants to be sprinkled by Glenda?? 
Certainly not a Seraphine

Welcome to The Queen's Meme #57. 

We're talking THREES. Answer these questions all having to do with the number 3. I predict this meme will take about 3 minutes to do.

3.  I, Queen Mimi, have sentenced you to a 3-day diet of your most sinful cravings. 
What will you be partaking?

3. Go back to question #3.  Change the first word to "travel" and let me know if you survived.
I'll hold a room for you in the dungeon in the meantime.


3.  If you are the 3rd person to do this meme and sign the Mr. Linky as #3 you win a prize! The prize is you don't have to do this meme. Oops.  **Don't you know you should always read all the instructions/questions FIRST??**

The Queen's Meme #56 ~ The Numbers Meme

Welcome To The Queen's Meme #56 ~ 

It's a Numbers Game

Today we will discuss the fascinatingly cerebral subject of numbers.

**and no calculators**!!

1. Do you ever play the lottery? If so, what are your lucky numbers? Don't worry. I won't tell anyone.


2. Did you do something special on 10/10/10 yesterday? I heard that lots of people got married. Are all of you still the same status as of today?


3.  "I've got your number!" Who would you like to say that to or who is the last person you said that to?


4. How many sheep do you count before you fall asleep?

5. It's almost birthday time for the Queen. Do you believe that age is "just a number"....or is it something else more insidious and frightening???!!! **I am suddenly having a panic attack**

8. (because I can) How many 8 balls are on a pool table?

The Queen's Meme #55 ~ The Falling Meme

Welcome to The Queen's Meme #55

It's All About Falling

Falling up, falling down, falling right, falling left, falling in love, falling out, falling hard, falling easy, falling loud, falling soft, falling. Got that? Falling.

I seem to be in a very bad evil Queen mood today and have devised some lame questions for you. Got that? Lame. L.A.M.E.

Let's play.

1. What is your favorite part about the Fall season?

2. When was the last time you fell in love?

3. Have you ever injured yourself falling down?

4. Imagine that your head is on the guillotine block and the blade is about to fall on your head. What is your last thought?

5. Do pumpkins scare you?

6. You are free-falling from the sky to Earth. It has taken you 3 days to fall from the galaxy and you are hungry. Where do you land?

7. I found this painting by John Everett Millais: Autumn Leaves
(1856) It struck me totally funny. Look at their faces. What are they saying?
What is going on??!

**Yes, I know these questions are tres weird but that is what I do.
Deal with it.**

And the first person to put a picture of a Jack-O-Lantern on their blog for this meme is in the dungeon. Jack-O-Lanterns are from the devil!!!
Have a nice day.

The Queen's Meme #54 ~ The Funny Word Meme

Welcome to the Queen's Meme #54

We are going for the funny bone today. Ouch. I hate it when that happens. Technically speaking that is the ulnar nerve. Definition: The ulnar nerve originates from the C8-T1 nerve roots which form part of the medial cord of the brachial plexus, and descends on the posteromedial aspect of the humerus.
I told you this meme was humorous!

Confession: I stole this idea from Jamie at Duward Discussion. She used British and Australian slang words recently in a challenge to her readers. I found a site today called Inherently Funny and decided to do the same with words that sound ridiculously humorous when you pronounce them....IF you can pronounce them.
I have given you 8 funny sounding words. You have to supply a definition without looking at the website or dictionary first. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Let's get started.

1. diphthong
2. Houp-doup
3. Skullduggery
4. reintarnation
5. glom
6. gobsmacked
7. assmosis
8. lugubrious

And trust me, I will know if you look in the dictionary.

The Queen's Meme #51 ~ The Cooking 101 Meme

Welcome to The Queen's Meme #51

It's called the Cooking 101 Meme

I could use some cooking advice. In fact, I could use a LOT of cooking advice. Would you indulge me? If you've read my blog very long you know that my kitchen disasters are legendary. I have a few culinary questions for you. Please feel free to share recipes!! (and instructions on how to decode them)

1. What is the best dish you can cook?

2. Do I have to beat eggs or can I whip them gently? Sounds so violent to me.

3. I am reading a recipe right now for Hearty Beef-n-Cheese Pie from a recipe book I dug out of the cabinet. The instructions read..."Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In large frying pan, brown ground beef, onion and green pepper."
I am already lost. Why must I turn on the oven and put the frying pan in it? And how does one turn beef AND peppers brown at the same time?!
What color should the onion be?

4. Did you ever cook something for your family that no one enjoyed and you had to throw out?

5. Why do all recipes say "mix sugar, flour and salt?" Don't they cancel out the other?

6. Why must you add eggs "one at a time" to a mixing bowl? Does anybody really know the answer to this question?

7. Please post the recipe to something you think even I can cook.
I am begging you! It is no fun being a afraid of my own crockpot.

Signed,
Your Hungry Queen

The Back To Fools Meme

For those quietly insane adults hanging around after the kids have returned to school.

The house is quiet. No more carpooling twelve kids to the mall. No more fighting over the computer and the TV. I wonder if you learned your lessons this summer. Answer the questions in complete sentences, double-spaced, typed with footnotes, annotations and a bibliography. I'll take that by Tuesday afternoon if not sooner. And please, if you have any questions, raise your hand..
There will be a pop quiz tomorrow.

1. Do you know your primary colors? Describe for me, if you will, the colors red, blue and green to a blind person. (*hat tip special friend for this most excellent question!*)

2. What was your adult summer reading?

3. When you assembled your clothes last night for today's activities - you did do that, didn't you? - what did you choose to wear?

4. What's in your lunchbox?

5. Imagine that your teacher is your fantasy crush. What would you bring her/him on the first day of school? Hmmmmm???

6. No rest for the weary. Your child's teacher just called. A big ole' bully knocked your precious one into a locker for no good reason at all.
What is your response to the principal?

7. You have been given a pair of scissors, a glue stick and copy of Entertainment Weekly. Whose picture do you cut out and who do you glue to your headboard?

8. TEN POINT BONUS QUESTION! Now that you have time to watch all those Gilligan's Island reruns, tell me....What was the Professor really doing with Mary Ann all that time they were lost in the jungle?

And remember this uplifting quote:

"If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers."

— Edgar W. Howe

Welcome To The Queen's Meme #48

The First Thought Meme
(sans the ink blots)

I would like to pick your brain today. Let's see what's lurking under the old cranium pot. And since I have to do TWO memes today due to my recent affliction with all things sea and I haven't finished building my sandcastle yet.... I'll make this one easy.
Here are the guidelines:

I will give you a picture. You will give me the first word that pops into your head upon seeing the image. It doesn't have to be just one word. It can be a sentence, a question, a joke, a caption, an explanation or whatEVER your gray matter conjures.
Scary. No? Don't cheat!

Just relax on Mimi's couch and do what the good Doctor Pencil Skirt says. Ready?

1.

2.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

9.

10.Oh. I forgot to tell you. Based on my astute psychological evaluation and pencil chewing abilities, your answers could land you in my graces....or in the dungeon. Padded cell optional.
