lol, I always love the twists you put to your answers in these things, Lime. :D

furiousBall said...

bodystocking... oh that is my kryptonite

Bijoux said...

The scary thing is, I really do say a few of those phrases in my everyday conversations....

lime said...

james, thanks ;)

furiousball, trust me, seeing me in a bodystocking would not have the same effect.

cocotte, that IS a bit scary

May I join you in your Liechtenstein revolution, Lime? They mostly do banking for people who don't want to pay taxes elsewhere, always a lucrative business. I could be your finance secretary. And we could hike in the Alps in body stockings :D

S said...

I seriously love your outfit, Lime!

Can we talk about reproducing it for my shop?
:P

Suldog said...

You, my dear, are a very funny woman.

Oh, wait. You weren't trying to be funny? Even better. Marry me!

Oh, wait. I'm already married. And I love her, too. Hmmmmmm. I wonder if there are any polygamy sects taking applications. You're just too good to pass up. I'll get back to you.

barman said...

Lichtenstein would be in good hands.

Boy the zoo question ... do you watch the disney channel? Sadly I have and the answers so remind me of several of their shows.

You know, I pretty much avoid Springer but I bet that would be an interesting show to see in person. Did these people resally expect anything good to come from appearing on his show?

And the all about me show? I am afraid that is the way I answer blog comments ... sorry.

Now I need to remember, never, ever eat ice cream over at Limes house, NEVER!

Mona said...

LOL! I love the things you would buy at the departmental store! & also the reasons for buying them!

Also the reasons for your road rage!

tyra banks show! :D

Yikes! Rectumectomies on cattle!!

Did you really walk in with those glasses? :D do you have a picture ?

lime said...

cosima, i like the way you think. you're hired!

s, only if we can add a mariachi jacket to the ensemble

suldog, it so happens i am married too but if we can find a sect that allows for both polygamy AND polyandry we might be able to work it out. oh, plus that bit about convincing our current spouses it's a good idea.

barman, i just bough ice cream today, in much more appetizing flavors

mona, i really did walk into the stadium wearing the glasses. it was a form of protest. but i didn't wear them up on the podium. after the ceremony my dad had said he'd have given me $50 if i wore them on the podium. sadly no photographic evidence exists.

Breazy said...

I really loved Ultraman when I was a kid. My friends and I could be found in the backyard each with our own Beta Capsule saving the Earth from monsters.

SignGurl said...

How does the beautiful brain come up with this stuff?

Moosekahl said...

I'm going to sit back with my pint of mint chocolate chip ice cream that room service just delivered and savor this one a bit. I love a good laugh before bed.
