Inside the Bloggers Studio

Ella took part in an interview and offered to interview folks. I have been having a hard time coming up with post ideas lately so I volunteered and she gave me the questions James Lipton always ends his interviews with.
  • What is your favorite word? Tintinnabulation trips off the tongue terrifically. With the OED containing over 171,000 words in current use and over 47,000 obsolete words it's really difficult to narrow it down. And that's just English...Heck, here's a whole post just on favorite words!

  • What is your least favorite word? Same problem as above, though "hate" ranks high on the list.

  • What turns you on creatively, spiritually, emotionally? Excellence, skill, openness, intimacy, tenderness, sincerity.

  • What turns you off? Blatant disregard, rudeness, selfishness.

  • What sound do you love?The one a tree makes when it falls in the forest and no one is there.

  • What sound do you hate? When someone eats loudly it really makes me want to poke them with a fork...HARD...repeatedly...until they stop.

  • What is your favorite curse word? Chingar, although the English equivalent has it's merits too.

  • What profession other than yours would you like to attempt? Children's librarian, but I'd be open to being paid a living wage to blog.

  • What profession would you not like to do? Pretty much anything featured on Mike Rowe's Dirty Jobs, though I do enjoy watching him perform them.

  • If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates? So glad to see you, I was expecting you. You done good, kiddo.

If any of you want to be interviewed you can either steal this list of questions or I will generate 5 original questions. Just let me know your preference.

It's always fun for me to read about my favorite bloggers. Enjoy your hump day, Lime.

NYD said...

Really liked your list of firsts.

James Lipton gives just about the most facinating interviews I have ever listened to, but since I don't think I will be invited to the actor's studio and I am in dire need for someone to kick me in the ass and jumpstart my blog I hereby formally request that you interview me and please let me have it in true Lime style, with lock, stock and two smoking barrels.

All things considered Mike Rowe has the best job in the world. Except when he works with snakes.

KFarmer said...

Oh I do love me some Mike Rowe! Have you seen the one where he is digging for (sp) gooey ducks?

I'm hoping for the same sort of response on the last question. If I make it there~ that is :)

furiousBall said...

i'll do one! and i'll even wear one of my two new favorite tie dyes!

Suldog said...

Oh, Lime! You have to be aware of the fact that I can't pass up such a self-aggrandizing opportunity. Yes, please interview me. I'll do my best to answer your questions in a way that will make you immediately regret being so kind.

I can not do a meme or an interview like you can but I would love to give it a try so please, if you do not mind, please interview me.

As to the eating loadly, I really do not like that myself. My Dad has a partial plate for his false teeth. There have been times where he was eating so load that I excused myself until he was done. I just could not sit there. I think I have the shivers now just thinking about it.

OMG I hate when people chew their food loudly and Mr Ratburn and Little Rita are the worst!
Now I knew I was stuck with Mr Ethnic Eater, but when his child turned out that way too, god help me I am going to kill them both with a spork!

Now there is still hope for LR as I tell her that NO boy is going to want to take her out for a second lobster dinner if she makes chomping sounds like that on their first date.

Mr Ratbrun insists that the boy won't even notice because he will be too busy shoveling it in himself.

Unless of course he is also an ethnic eater, then I am really in trouble as the tormented mother in law....
my god lookit all the trouble you have stirred up with this post!
:P

An interview by you would be a treat any time!

Poor "S." She will be so disappointed when she finds that a spork cannot be lethal. Um... Don't ask me how I know.

Repeated fork stabbings surely can eventually end in silence, but there's all kinds of complaining and extra noise and such before the sweet silence finally comes, and then you have to dig a big hole in your backyard to hide the body.

It drives me bananas when people eat noisily into the telephone's mouthpiece. Since I cannot employ your fork idea over the phone, maybe I could just randomly press the buttons until the beeping tones drown out the irritating mastication.

would love to be interviewed...but of course I won't make it easy....new questions please...

Anonymous said...

LOL... Mike Rowe was at the Tar pits last night and it was DISGUSTING! Halo and I changed the channel before he helped with the dead cow thing.... ugh!

I would love to be interviewed, but it seems your list of interviewees is kinda big, so if it takes some time I'm cool with it :)

And maybe I'll have some interview questions for you!

Breazy said...

Very good answers Lime, I can't stand noisy eaters either and it bothers me so bad that I lose my appetite (and my temper) if they continue with the ungodly sounds coming from their mouth/throat or where ever the noise is coming from. Normally I have to get up and leave the table or I will bash a glass across their head, stab their throat with a fork, of course all of that would come after I gave them a memorable tongue lashing.

I was reading your previous post and I have another first for you...
Fmr. President George W. Bush is the first to leave the presidency with both natural parents still living. :)

Have a great day!

Craver Vii said...

Thanks for the interview. Mine is posted. :-)

airplanejayne said...

Lime - please interview me! I love answering your questions!

david mcmahon said...

Favourite word? Now you've really got me thinking ....
And by the way, your new President is proof that the ``politician as a true orator'' breed is no extinct.

you would make a great librarian!

someone mentioned the book "if you give a mouse a cookie" to me this weekend, because i put cheerios outside for a vole/mouse i saw trying to live in the snow not far from my house.

so, ms librarian, how does the story end? what happens when you give a mouse a cookie (or a cheerio)

The last two are my favorite! I can't physically watch some of what Mike Rowe's does on those shows but I love watching him when he's all clean and manly. And I want to hear "you done good" too when I get to those gates.
