WEDNESDAY HODGEPODGE

 

Head on over to Joyce's and join in! 

1. Every January 1st since 1976 Lake Superior University has published a list of words they'd like to see banished from the Queen's English.  Words may be banished due to misuse, overuse or just general uselessness (go here to read more about how the words were chosen).  Here are the words/phrases they'd like to see banished in 2014-  selfie, twerk/twerking, hashtag, Twittersphere, Mr. Mom, T-bone, ____on steroids, the suffixes-ageddon, and -pocalypse added to anything and everything, from the world of politics the words-intellectually/morally bankrupt and Obamacare, and from the world of sports the words-adversity and fan baseWhich of these words/phrases would you most like to see banished from everyday speech and why? Is there a word not on the list you'd like to add?

I will go with Obamacare, I am pretty sick of our government. Since I seldom watch the news and never read a newspaper the others really don't bother me that much. Also everything I watch is taped so I can fast forward through commercials.

2. What one unfinished project nags at you begging to be completed in this new year?
It's the entire house. I sit here most days and do nothing else. TOO MUCH STUFF! 

3. When did you last have a bowl of soup? What kind? Homemade or from a can? What's your favorite soup?
Thanksgiving, I made Butternut Squash soup in the crock pot which was homemade. I've thought hard about this and I think my favorite soup would be a broccoli cheese or a potato cheese type of soup. 

4. Snowed in, snowed under, snow job...which one most applies to your life in recent days, figuratively speaking.
I'm going with snowed under. 

5. What's the funniest movie you've ever seen, or at least one of the funniest?
I have to say when I first saw the movie Hangover I thought it was hysterical. Sure it's a little dirty but so darn funny.  After I typed my answer I went and did a search of the funniest movies and Hangover is in the top 10. Here is the list from IMDb if you want to look at it. 

6.  In general, would you say you're clumsy?
No, I don't feel like I am at all. 

7. Elvis Presley was born on Hodgepodge Day (January 8th) back in 1935.  Are you an Elvis fan?  What's your favorite Elvis tune? If that's too hard, which Elvis tune do you dislike the least?  Click here for a list of his songs.

Never been a big fan but my dad tells me I had my bike painted with his favorite colors "Pink and Black." I did find one place that said that but a few others name some other colors. Jul 22, 2009 - Well I know for sure that in the late 50s and ealry 60s (his younger years) that his favourite colours were pink and black . (Yahoo)

My dad was invited to his house but he never went. My dad would let the Elvis Presley Fan Club meet in the movie theater for there meetings and Elvis thought that was nice of him. We also have a photograph signed "To Ray" from Elvis. My father ran several movie theaters in Chicago, IL, he started as an usher when he was in H.S.

8. Insert your own random thought here.
My decorations are still up and I don't care, I love them and really enjoyed having less out this year. I do plan on starting to take them down this Friday. My plan, which I hope I follow through on, is to take down all of my Christmas boxes November 1st of this year and go through all of them starting to pick out my favorites to keep. I just don't need so many decorations. That doesn't include my ornaments, those are not going anywhere yet!
