What’s the Deal With the Platypus?

I really like the setup on this one, but the final punchline was a huge disappointment.

Sadly, I can’t think of a better one.

But if YOU can, please drop it in the comments.

Icebreaker: Who Would You Like To Be For a Day?

Posted by on

Having finished “The 25 most popular icebreaker questions based on four years of data” and enjoyed the results, I’m moving on to a new list:

76 Fun Icebreaker Questions (Not all of which will be used, since some are either/or questions, which are boring.)

Your mission: answer the question in the comments with a good story.

If you don’t have a good story, you are encouraged to make one up.

Who would you like to be for a day?

Me.

Also, for every day after that.

I’ve got a good life.

Either that or Marty McFly. By the end of the third movie, he’s got everything he wants. I’ll take that day.

Thursday Night Open Thread

Posted by on

I actually do try to listen to different types of music. Most of the time, I don’t get it. Then I think back and remember how the music I listened to wasn’t understood by the adults. Now, I’m the adults, and I don’t understand music. So, one time, a while back, I decided to listen to some current song. This was it.

Okay, I get it. I don’t like these kids’ music. Problem solved.

What about you? Got something you’d like to share? It’s Thursday Night Open Thread.

Who wants to start?

What is your favorite film?

These days, whichever one Basil puts in the open thread.

Aside from those, I’d say “Cyrano de Bergerac” with Jose Ferrar.

I recently read the script from the play the movie’s based on, and the parts they change actually make it better.

If you do nothing else, at least catch the “No, Thank You” speech.
