MEME: Saturday Six - Episode 101

Saturday Six - Episode 101



I hope everyone had a Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Emmapeel of "Talking to Myself was first to play the 100th edition of the Saturday Six last week.

Here are this week's questions. Either answer them in a comment here or answer them in your own blog and leave a comment here with the link to that entry. To be considered "First to Play," you must be the first person to answer the questions here or leave the complete link to the specific entry in your blog in which you answered the questions. Enjoy!

1. How did you celebrate St. Patrick's Day?
With a “Happy St. Patrick's Day” to the spouse upon arising and dinner out that evening.
2. What is your favorite green food?
Broccoli.
3. Other than Christmas or Thanksgiving, what holiday do you generally spend the most for when you celebrate it?
Fourth of July. Lobsters and corn-on-the-cob with watermelon for dessert and lots of brew adds up to a hefty tab.
4. It probably seems like winter may have already disappeared from this year based on the warm weather much of the country experienced this season, but if you had to eliminate one season entirely, which one would you choose and why?

Winter. I've had a lifetime of fighting snow and I'm sick to death of it.
5. If you then had to replace the season you eliminated with one of the three remaining ones, meaning that we'd have six months of one season, which would you choose and why?
Autumn. Most of the bugs are gone, gardens are grown and harvested, fodder has been harvested and put up and it's time for hunting, fowling and some late season fishing. And most of the time you don't have to shovel the precipitation...
6. How many of your old school yearbooks (or annuals) do you have today? If you let someone read the messages people wrote in them, would they think you were popular, not popular, or somewhere in between?
I think I have two from high school covering my junior and senior years. Writing in yearbooks was a “tit-for-tat” kind of affair. When you only have 50 in your graduating class, you can't be too choosy. So, while there's a fair number of entries, they are more courtesy than enthusiastic. I'd rate the impression as “somewhere in between” whereas the reality was “not popular.”

Next week, another "Reader's Choice Question comes your way. If you'd like to send me one, click the "View My Profile" link in the sidebar at Patrick's Weekender, then click the email link and send me your question!
