commence entertainment

i'm bored

and i have writers block

yes, i could tell you that there are stripes on my coffee cup, or that i'm wearing a brown shirt. i could tell you that i love chamomile or that my real name is not rebecca marie winters. i could tell you that i drive a kia.

but those things are boring.

so, here's the plan. you ask me stuff i would know the answer to, anything, and i'll tell you. now get on with it... cause i'm bored.



arrivederci, rebecca marie

hmmmm. did you take a shower? silly sarah... how would i know???

i'm going to go with yes. if you didn't take a shower in the shower with clean water, you probably got a drool shower from the baby at some point...

What is the meaning of life?

Thanks so much,

Dear Rebecca,

Why is Wal-mart such an annoying place?

Thanks..

anna - because not enough people bathe regularly. and people are rude.

basically, gum - deoderant - manners. done and done.

also, the big star in the middle of the name. that is another reason that it is annoying.

Dear Rebecca Marie~

How come I can't get the back of my hair to stay in a flip? Do you have any hair care products to recommend?

Thanks,
Flipped out

Blogger rebecca marie gushed...

rebecca - pack light. minimal makeup... tissues for blotting, mascara and lipgloss (you might as well play up the fab eyelashes and lips, you know?) capris and flip flops and t-shirts. nothing that isn't cotton, nothing that isn't tight (you're fab... show it off).

as for music? duh. the eighties, baby!

lori ann - a skinny flat iron and redkin guts should do the trick. also, if you wash your hair daily, don't. hair that is one day dirty usually works better. if that weirds you out, at least wash it at night and sleep on it. that should help.

Dear Rebecca Marie,

Why is burnt cheese better than burnt toast? I mean, I burn my cheese on purpose, but throw out burnt toast....

Why is that?

6/30/2006 11:05 AM  
Blogger rebecca marie gushed...

janni laine - burnt cheese is, in fact, manna from heaven. the reason? fat. fat always wins over no fat. i'll give you an example. would you rather eat a 7-11 nacho or celery. seriouisly, even vegegarians like the smell of bacon (and any who say they don't will have their comments deleted.).

Dear Rebecca Marie,
I am writing in response to another reader who questioned the meaning of life. I do, in fact, have an answer that is only a little bit different than yours. It is simply this: 42

Also, I have two questions of my own. Please explain the origination and meaning of these two phrases:

Short end of the stick - wouldn't it just be a short stick?

On the ball ... If someone is ON a BALL I see them falling all over, not being organized and such.

So long and thanks for all the fish!

6/30/2006 11:35 AM  
Blogger rebecca marie gushed...

jessica - if you have the short end of the stick, your hands will slip off and you will fall painfully on your butt. nothing hurts quite like a tail bone bruise. you want the long end, cause even if your hands are sweaty, chances are the person with the short end will still fall first.

second... on the ball means "on the testical," anytime you compress a testical, you are in charge. as long as it is not your testical, of course.

Blogger arwen gushed...

i also would like you to explain something- a saying--

Under par is a bad thing. But, par is golf terminology and if you are under par that is a good thing... so which came first? golf par or bad par?

6/30/2006 5:10 PM  
Blogger arwen gushed...

oh , and for LoriAnn-- it is very possible that the back just won't flip. I have a strip of hair on the back right side of my hair that is about 2 inces wide that NEVER ever holds curl. Not even perm curl. It makes for very cool looking hair at times....

6/30/2006 5:12 PM  
Blogger rebecca marie gushed...

arwen - under par IS good, i've never heard it describing something bad. do you mean sub-par? sub, while implying low, means, in this case, essentially "less than" but you should take it to mean "lesser than" as a state, rather than a value. does that make sense?

like, "that meal was sub-par" means "that meal reminded me of barf." where as "you really came in under-par on your bid" means "righteous, we're using you cause you're cheap!"

6/30/2006 5:24 PM  
Blogger J. Kevin Parker gushed...

mmmm a jar of smoked almonds. and tofu. Okay, not the tofu.

But if 7-11 is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365.25 days per year, why oh why do they have locks on the doors???

6/30/2006 5:48 PM

kevin - because if they are robbed, they lock down the store until the police work is done.

I'm a veggie and I don't like the smell of bacon. Cross my heart and hope to die, it's true. Esp after I take a shower, because I hate to smell like any kind of fried food, ever.

Oh, and since we're on the topic of hair...

Do you think I should get a haircut? My hair is getting loooong and unruly. But I never seem to have the time, energy or money to slip away to the hairdressers. But I'm so sick of my hair. But I don't even know what new hairstyle I want. But what do you think?

Dear Rebecca-

Why do the gas fumes at the stations smell so good!??!

Why did math teachers try to teach me long division and promise that I will have a use for it someday… but I have yet to run across a real world situation that requires it? (Also, they made such a big deal out of pi, the pythagorean theorem, and logs of numbers but I don’t have the pleasure of using any of those things, even on a yearly basis!)

Also, how fat is hell?

7/02/2006 8:32 PM  
Blogger arwen gushed...

why don't you take a break on this one, Rambo... i got Paula and little miss:

P:
1)the 11 represents the number of original slurpee flavors. there was Code Red Mt Dew (Raj's fav), grape, orange, cola, lemonade, bean curd, abalone,tropical punch, beef taco, nacho cheese, and dry hot dog. only a few have survived.

2)i believe that 'Des Moines' is an old german phrase meaning "a whales vagina"... oh... wait... that's San Diego. Des Moines is "the mines" in Nez Perce.

3) a blue ribbon? heck yes she will! (do the chickens have large talons?)

and finally
4) hell is not fat. it is just big boned.

and now for Little Miss:
this is an excellent question. because she has so many favorite bloggers (namely me *sly grin*), she would not feel morally pure if she were to single out one and award him or her (or me) an award. she fears that she would hurt the feelers of other bloggers for whom she feels the same kind of love.

sorry i've been gone so long... thanks arwen for taking over in my absence.... preesh!

here're my answers:

sarah - our friendship can withstand tests, your comment stands. in answer to your question... yes. just longer than your shoulders, LOTS of layers, but the layers should be long enough to still pull back.

punkin - they smell good to you because you are lacking a particular nutrient. that nutrient is flatulence.

as far as math goes... all math teachers are direct decendants from the marquis de sade.

arwen, i can not apply the quadratic theory because i never passed math, of any kind. i specifically said to ask me questions i could answer, thanks for pointing out that i'm dumb. sheesh.

paula - the answer for the eleven question is that they stay open eleventybillion hours more than anyone else.

des moines means "if you go to columbia christian high school you will have to take iowa tests instead of the standard california achievement tests."

as far as "how fat is hell?" i have to defer to steve.

and no, i did NOT earn a blue ribbon. i was decidedly late, but not nearly as late as half of the congregation. i laughed and i laughed and i laughed.

little miss - what silly question! i draw myself pictures all the time!

(thanks again arwen... i really did like your answers, i just couldn't help answering them myself, as well.)
