In an interest of showing that I do read the comments about homework when I start the sign ups for homework captains, today is a fun homework to get to know everybody a little bit. (Something fun is definitely in order, since KD's gone and upped the exercise on us for Week 2 homework. )
So, I'm stealing a few lines of a questionaire that I have on my live journal. What is your:
1. Favorite "old school" toy or game. 2. Favorite thing from the 70s. 3. Favorite movie line. 4. Favorite food (calories don't count here). 5. 2nd favorite hobby.
Everybody sing, now..."getting to know you, getting to know all about you..." (bonus points to the first person to correctly identify the movie and singer.)
Life is like a roller coaster, with lots of ups and downs, but the curves, spirals, loops and corkscrews are what make life interesting.
1. Favorite "old school" toy or game. Monopoly and Connect 4 2. Favorite thing from the 70s. Playing hide and seek outside around the block with all the kids 3. Favorite movie line. I suck at quoting movie lines. Pretty much anything from Gross Point Blank. 4. Favorite food (calories don't count here).Poutine, it has to be made with real curd cheese. If I do not hear the squeek when I bit into it it just is not the same. 5. 2nd favorite hobby. cooking would be #1, let's see....#2 would be reading, especially cookbooks.
It has been great learning more about all of you.
Enjoy every minute!

Originally posted by susanrows: 1. Probably not PC to admit this, but I loved my Barbie dolls.
I don't know why it wouldn't be PC. Barbie is still big today and lots of adults collect them. I just wish I had kept mine. It was one of the originals.
The reason some may consider Barbie's un-PC is that some people think that her unnatural proportions lead young girls into having unrealistic ideals of how women's bodies should look. (Kind of like super models.) They think it feeds into that whole unrealistic idea many of us have of how we should look, and then it leads to eating disorders...

"you want it fast or you want it good.. you no rush a Fannini" from Oscar
I had no idea that anyone else knew this movie!!!!!!!!! I just got it on dvd a few weeks ago. I hadn't seen it in at least 10 years.
And I too am a sudoku addict. I think it's worse than cheesecake.

Getting to Know you is from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The King and I. Yes it was sung by the character Anna Owens. On stage that role was played by Gertrude Lawrence. In the movie it was Deborah Kerr. (I know, I know. Everybody hates a wise Alice!)
Way to go Linda!!! But Bee was also right that it was the King and I.

Bwahaha! Love that one too. That was me who posted about Office Space - one of my all-time fave flicks.
Coaster Girl, hats off to you for this homework! I posted earlier but have been coming back to read everyone's posts! I am reminded of so many movie lines that I love but have forgotten. I don't remember who posted the Office Space movie lines but....that is one of my alltime favorite movies ever! One of my fav lines from that movie "Mr. Naga...Naga...well, he's Nagana work here anymore that's for sure!" Jill
Summer Challenge Goals: 1) Walk 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week 2) Plan weekly menus
1. Favorite "old school" toy or game. I love board games in general, but probably Scrabble. 2. Favorite thing from the 70s. Would it be cheating to say DH? Since he was born then. 3. Favorite movie line. "You people make my a** twitch" from French Kiss, or a whole slew of lines from Monty Python Movies. 4. Favorite food (calories don't count here). Oh gosh, that is hard, probably Cheesecake for a dessert, or Indian Butter Chicken for actual "food". 5. 2nd favorite hobby. Scuba diving. It might be my first, but I can't afford to do it often, so I'll say second.

Getting to Know you is from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The King and I. Yes it was sung by the character Anna Owens. On stage that role was played by Gertrude Lawrence. In the movie it was Deborah Kerr. (I know, I know. Everybody hates a wise Alice!)
Judy (BrenauMom): I had to fight my son to get to do the Sudoku puzzles in the English newspapers when we were in England last summer. I am sooooo glad to see them make an appearance here now. I think they are very easy for the most part once you realize a couple of strategies.
This is fun. 1. Favorite "old school" toy or game- I still get a kick out of candy land. I'll be giving that to my kids when I eventually have some. 2. Favorite thing from the 70s- Being Born then after that Donna Summer. 3. Favorite movie line- Steel Magnolia's "If you don't have something nice to say about someone, come sit next to me" I know that's terrible but I LOVE that line. 4. Favorite food (calories don't count here)- Sushi and Cheese(any kind) 5. 2nd favorite hobby-day road trips
