As I was getting off the highway today I pulled up behind a Chevy Blazer in the same electric blue as my car.  It’s the first time I’ve seen another car with the same color as mine.  Then when I parked at Target I parked RIGHT next to an electric blue Chevy - just like mine but it was a 4 door instead of a two door.  What a coincidence. It totally got me thinking about car colors. I started wondering what color cars my blogging friends drove, and what better way to find out than to do a super scientific* Luka poll. That’s what this entry is all about: What color car do you drive? If you pick other please note it in the comments what OTHER is :)

Edited to add :  Yesterday something funny happened.  (It involves me car, so it fits. Really.) When I got home from gettin my eyebrows waxed, I went potty and then I hopped onto the net to check my email. I had an email from our Vonage saying I had a voice mail.  From 7 minutes before. Now I was sure I was home 7 minutes before that so I was confused.  When I saw the numbers, I was even more confused. I’d called myself from my cell phone and left myself a 5 min message. It’s just ambient noise too. I don’t even sing or yell at any other drivers. I’d post it, but it’s boring. Oooh La La.

*not scientific in any way.

Wow.  That’s the first time I posted trivia and NO ONE answered!  I guess the questions were just too obscure.  Oh well; at least for next week I know better. :) Oh. And cause I can answer the questions I win all the wedges.

Today is a special day.  (Yesterday was too, actually.) Lets start with yesterday.  Yesterday was the 9th anniversary of the first time my husband and I kissed. I kissed him actually. We were in the basement of hudson hall, making eggrolls. The sun was still out; I remember thinking “If I don’t kiss him, he’s too shy to kiss me” and then I kissed him. I remember being impressed and then all tingly.  Until we got married we considered feb 27th our anniversary.  The husband and I are a bit unusual.  We’ve been together 9 years, and only married for 4 & 1/2.  Up until yesterday we’d been together longer before we were married, than we had been since we got married. Today is the first day since we got together all those years ago on a cold day in February, that we’ve been MARRIED longer than together before we got married.  Today is the first day my marriage has officially been my longest relationship. If it’s only significant in my heart, that’s ok too. 

This was the top card in my deck that I pulled out this morning.  I am going to use all 6 questions from that one card.  The colors go like this : blue = people & places, pink = arts & entertainment, yellow = history, brown = science & nature, green = sports & leisure, and orange = wild card.

1. BLUE : What city’s diners chow down at Jimmy’s Favorite Seafood, Boog’s Barbecue and Crabby Dick’s?
2. PINK : Who recorded her break-though album Relish with the help of two former Hooters?
3. YELLOW : What creatures pulled Santa’s carriage to Harrod’s in 2001, when his sleigh was grounded due to the hoodhoof-and-mouth crisis?
4. BROWN : What planet’s name did 11-year-old Venetia Burney coin, while munching breakfast with her granddad in Oxford, England?
5. GREEN : Who was the first man to manage the Colorado Rockies, and the 46th to manage the Chicago Cubs?
6. ORANGE : What percentage of Diet Pepsi was made of “Uh-huh,” according to a 1990’s ad?

Please do use Blingo or Google to seach for the answers.  I know these are rather hard.  They ARE for the wedges ya know. Get these right and you win the whole game!

It was night like any other day.  Luka woke up her children at 6:30am, only to discover that there were two extra kids that piled out into the hallway.  Green skinned.  Well, it was early and maybe she’d had a bit too much of the Capn Morgan’s Rum in her morning coffee.  The oj and vodka would fix that, for sure.  Breakfast was hustled together to the beat of the Bee Gees Saturday Night Fever album.  Out of the corner of her eye, Luka could swear that Barry Gibb was waving to her from the tv set.  Never mind.  Back to the kids and shoving them out the door and off the deck.  They plunged down the steep embankment of the front yard and right into the big front tire of the school bus.  The kids… yep, there were the two extra green ones… three a dozen snowballs at Luka and climbed aboard the bus.

Now Luka was alone.  She trotted to the refrigerator, yanked out the butter dish and last night’s turkey.  She quickly pulled apart the butter, revealing some components.  She thrust the slippery components into the turkey for a few minutes and then pulled her hand out.  She lifted one turkey leg and there was a strange squealing noise that emanated from the turkey’s interior.  It was a radio signal.  Manipulating the leg some more, the signal cleared up and in a series of beeps and bops, Luka received the message for the day.

She washed her hands, turned off the waving Barry Gibb on the tv set, kissed her husband who was sitting on the floor still working with the leggos and building the city of Venice.  He mumbled something, but she didn’t catch it as she nearly flew out the door and into the green Gremlin parked in the driveway.  The Gremlin just glided out of the neighborhood and then Luka pushed the secret button.  With a mechanical whirr and a clanking of metal, the Gremlin transformed into a Stealth Wiz Bang KO Flyer.  She was up in the sky in seconds and over an island that, til this morning, had never existed on any map.  Punching a black button on the Stealth dashboard, Luka glanced at her mission fax. 

The man that pulled the strings had finally been found.  This was his island.  It had been confirmed that not only had this mad genius created the leader of the US, but others as well.  The mission was simple, obliterate the island.  Cut the strings of the puppet masters and the puppets would then be powerless.  Luka didn’t hesitate.  The be-gone forever bomb was dropped and then she turned around, heading back home where she would be in time to fix dinner for her family.

In the kitchen, Luka flipped on the news and chopped carrots for the stew.  Things would be chaotic for a little bit, but that was all right.  Things were shifting everywhere.  Luka smiled.  She’d done her part, and kept her family happy.

The End

Strange Laws:

We all know that some of our current laws seem a little bit senseless at times maybe even completely foolish but here are some I found which are apparently still active (althought thankfully ignored by today’s law enforcement officials) :

Did you know:
*- In Tennessee, it is against the law to drive a car while sleeping.
*- In New York, it is against the law for a blind person to drive an automobile.
*- The law states that more than 3000 sheep cannot be herded down Hollywood Blvd. at any one time.
OK,...those are things I did not know but just in case I ever need them, now I do! Read on for more wonderful insanity & delightful silliness from our respected lawmakers of yore,.........
*- In Corpus Christie, Texas, it is illegal to raise alligators in your home.
*- In Memphis, Tennessee, a woman is not to drive a car unless a man warns approaching motorists or pedestrians by walking in front of the car that is being driven.
*- In Virginia, the Code of 1930 has a statute which prohibits corrupt practices or bribery by any person other than political candidates.
*- In Washington State, you can’t carry a concealed weapon that is over 6 feet in length.
*- In the state of Colorado, a pet cat, if loose, must have a tail-light.
*-In Kentucky, it is illegal for a merchant to force a person into his place of business for the purpose of making a sale.
*- In Galveston, Texas, it is illegal to have a camel run loose in the street.
*- In Illinois, the law is that a car must be driven with the steering wheel.
**- In Texas, it is illegal to curse in front of, or indecently expose oneself to, a corpse.
**- In Connorsville, Wisconsin a man is legally prohibited from shooting a gun while his female partner is having an orgasm.
**- It is illegal to ride a streetcar on Sunday if have been eating garlic in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
**- Every citizen of Kentucky is required by law to take a bath once a year.

Here is the most amusing fact about these laws:
In those places, at some time in history, these laws were accepted & practised. In the ancient archives, some are still active!
The next time our children tell us how tight WE are, let’s point them to these whacky, archaic, irresistably silly laws of “olde”
