Thinking for an i-Pad: Questions 16.1 - 20

Sarah & Ronda at Southern Fried Snark wrapped it up during Episode 27 on April 29.

I listed it as Question 16.1, because there was a clarification offered by Gellman:

16.1) Can it be used more than once?
Technically, it can be reused, but it's really unlikely
because it is unsanitary after the first use.

And before they even got started with the questions, CraftyHope e-mailed in a guess. A very close guess that required verification from Gellman that it was not close enough.

17) Does go inside other things?
Ronda said she seen it in inside other things, but
it doesn't have to be. However, it is usually
dependent on other things for structural support.

18) Does it have cash value?
No.

19) Can you find it in a forest?
Yes.

They closed the questioning with the first question e-mailed in:

20) Does it grow on a tree?
No, it does not grow on a tree.
It does not GROW on a tree.

Hmm..... and while I was wondering how spaghum moss fits in with these questions, since the best I could imagine from the previous questions was a potted plant.....

CraftyHope emails in the correct answer:

A bird's nest.

Well. Sweet.

Big congrats to CraftyHope for winning the i-Pad!

And then it all devolved into a discussion on mashed potatoes & green peas "bird's nests" and Ronda's song about them, and Sarah just had to go.

********

Ronda & her husband will be "swimming with the fishes" during the coming week, so SFS will take a well-earned vacation. Wonder what fun & folly those ladies will have for us on May 13th?

Thinking for an i-Pad: No Questions Tonight

Due to equipment upgrades that will greatly enhance the total show experience, Southern Fried Snark did not air tonight. It is hoped to resume at its regular day & time at 9 p.m. Thursday, April 29th. Please check your RSS feeds, FB News Feeds and Twitter feeds for any further developments.

Gadzooks! Can you tell I used to watch TV back when there were only 3 1/2 channels???

In other news, Gellman did load the other previous episodes onto the website, and I have linked them in my corresponding posts.

We now resume your regular programing.

That's My Little Guy

My son, the literalist & future mathematician. Sees only the obvious.

He & his dad were reading a quiz book of baseball facts last night. One quiz asked the significance of certain games.

The first question: "April 15, 1947 - (Brooklyn) Dodgers 5, (Boston) Braves 3"

The answer: "Jackie Robinson broke baseball's color barrier when he made his big league debut."

Six-year-old son's wonderment: "What sound did the color barrier make when Jackie Robinson broke it?"

What a little guy. Husband was speechless at his innocence.

But really, how DO you describe an amazing, reverberating "sound" like THAT?
