  1. Maybe we get a batch of cookies? That would be nice…

  2. I’ve heard Filipino food is good but that’s about all I know…I didn’t even know The Philippines wasn’t the full name!

  3. Good answers. :) I loved your last one. You rock! I also would like to sign up for the cookie reward. :)

  4. I tell you a football is round and you play with your feet ! Try to play with an oval one, that won’t work ! That’s for hands so it should be called handball, lol ! (I never played btw)

  5. Fun and educational. Now my brain can sleep for the rest of the week.

    Microfiction Monday

  6. That was excellent! My father was in the Philippines during WWII but I’ve never gotten to visit. Yet. ‘Which country does Thom live closer to’ seems a bit of a trick question when you’re in the middle of the Pacific but also in a US state LOL

    And OMG don’t start me on color/colour — you wouldn’t believe how many times people “correct” my (always perfect *ahem*) spelling in a forum or in comments.

    I wonder if Christine (in Paris) saw this yet?

    • LOL…you and Juliana on the spelling. I’ve just come to accept it so I don’t have to put up with the wrath ROFLMAO!!! I’d luv to go to the Philippines. I’ve never been there either.

  7. When I read the q on football shape, my first thought was rectangle because I was thinking of the field lol! :-)

  8. columbus was spanish? who knew!
    and don’t get me started on the spelling of colour and the shape of a football

  9. Nice history lesson. Where’s the meme?

  10. You got it, man. Every answer a gem! Have a great day…

  11. GOOOOOOOD BLEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS THE UUUUU.ESSSS.AAAAAA!

  12. Great one Thom. Thats what I though Harriet has more shoes than Emelda hehe. Fun meme and fun-tastic answers

  13. i miss a week of memes and everything has gotten serious now that I’m back. i should do this monday mayhem though before i get accused of being un-patriotic. lol. after all, that’s my flag right next to yours.

    way to go Thom!

    • ROFLMAO!!! See what you get for slacking LOL. Your’s was the bomb and you did it so good. I couldn’t think of how to do this the way you or Bud did. I should have though :)
