This may require a bit of thinking, but don’t let that put you off.

For Lord Dudley Mountcatten?

I have two…

1. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

.

.

When His Lordship is in full attack mode, it’s very dragon like.

.

.

Even when there’s a window between him and his prey.

.

.

I think you can guess this crouch didn’t end well for the tree.

🥴

2. The Big Sleep.

When not actively stalking, His Lordship excels at napping.

.

.

Usually for 18- 20 hours a day.

.

.

And don’t think about interrupting his slumber if you value your skin.

.

.

We call this the do not disturb.

❤️

Now you…

What movie title describes your pet?

Today I want you to date yourself.

The first cell phone pictured is a Motorola DynaTAC 8000X brick released in 1983. It weighed 2.5 lbs, had about 30 minutes of talk time, and took 10 hours to fully charge. Cost? $3,995.

The last cell phone pictured is the first generation iPhone released in 2007. Revolutionary then… with its 2megapixel camera, internet communicator and accelerometer… but considered a relic today.

My first cell phone was #7. A Nokia something or other that I think I bought in 1998 or 1999. It didn’t do much of anything except (gasp!) act as a phone… back in the day when we used to have actual auditory conversations… but I thought it was pretty damn slick all the same.

Ironically I just stumbled across my second ever cell phone the other day.

.

.

It was buried in a drawer under some sweaters and for the life of me I have no idea why I kept it.

Flip phones!

Geesh… texting was an absolute nightmare with those things.

Now you.

What was your first piece of mobile technology?

Because it’s Friday and that’s what we do here.

.

.

Okay, I’ll date myself.

Anyone else remember Barnabas Collins?

.

.

An obscure short lived British comedy from the mid ‘70’s.

.

.

What can I say? I was obsessed with dinosaurs when I was young. Even as a child I knew it was stupid… but it had Stegosaurs and Triceratops. Claymation et al, I was hooked.

So.

What long defunct television show did you watch way back when ?

Because it’s Friday and it shouldn’t tax your brain.

.

.

The first song that popped into my head was from my (extremely misspent) youth.

.

.

I remember being in high school art class when our teacher announced the new assignment… draw an album cover. I chose this New Riders of the Purple Sage record and got an A. Though Mrs. O’Neill erased the joint in his hand which made him look somewhat Italian. 😉

Fun fact? I still have my original vinyl.

The other song that rattled around my brain?

.

.

Little Red Corvette by Prince.

.

.

Musical genius, taken too soon.

Now you…

Name a song with red in the title.

A simple question about preferences today.

.

.

Years ago, in my younger pre-menopausal days, I’m sure I would have said 100 degrees. We lived down south where summer lasted 8 months and I was breaking out the bikini for sunbathing in February.

Those days are long gone (as are my bikinis) and now? I’ll take the crisp cold 0 temps of winter over a sweltering sauna all day long. I can put on extra clothes to stay warm, but can’t strip down far enough to cool off in that suffocating high heat.

I’m sure I’m the outlier here, but does anyone else prefer the cold?

If you’ve never read a Stephen King book or watched a Stephen king movie?

Never mind.

.

.

I’ve never been on a cruise, and have no desire to board a floating Petri dish of noro virus contagion… but if forced?

I’d bring John Coffey from The Green Mile, the only Stephen King book that literally made me weep. If you don’t think the master of horror and weirdness can pen a heartfelt and beautiful story? You need to read The Green Mile. I dare you not to choke up when John cures the warden’s wife.

That poor man is in dire need of a vacation.

And if John can’t come, because.. you know, he’s dead?

I’d pick Andy Dufresne and Red, from The Shawshank Redemption. The other King masterpiece that proves he can really write if he wants to.

Andy, Red and me at the bar…. raising a glass to Rita Hayworth, second chances and friendship.

Yeah, I can see that.

How about you…

What Stephen King character are you taking on a cruise?

Please feel free to substitute iguana, wombat or naked mole rat for your pet of choice in today’s question.

.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten is a gentle soul.

.

.

Though he was found wandering the roads by the shelter from which he was adopted, I can’t imagine him ever being a true stray.

.

.

He hides under the bed when company comes.

He runs from the vacuum, my blow dryer and the blender.

Loud noises, the voice of a stranger and barking dogs put him on the edge of a heart attack.

He was even terrified of the Christmas tree.

.

.

But the strangest thing he’s frightened of…

The thing that sends him skidding down the hall in terror every time it’s deployed?

.

.

The white trash bag I pull from a box, shake to loosen and line the kitchen can with. He’ll be halfway across the house… hear that, and run for cover.

It’s bizarre.

So what crazy thing is your pet scared of?

With turkey day right around the corner, a holiday themed question seems in order.

.

.

For me, it’s Ambrosia Salad hands down.

My late MIL loved the stuff and brought it to every family dinner, even though she was the only one who ate that monstrous combination of flavors.

How about you?

What dish isn’t welcome at your holiday table….
