Over the Rainbow

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Somewhere Over the Rainbow

1) Do you ever fantasize about flying, beyond the rainbow or anywhere else?

2) Do you think you have seen The Wizard of Oz more than 10 times?

3) Which Wizard of Oz character would you most like to dress as for Halloween?

4) What will Trick or Treaters get when they come to your front door?

5) Did you ever TP a neighbor's house or indulge in other acts of Halloween vandalism as a kid? (Don't worry, that statute of limitations is up.)

6) Who annoys you more -- people who never respond to your texts/emails, or those who never look up because they're always checking their texts/emails?

7) Who was the last person you hugged?

8) What two colors do you like to wear together?

9) Did your alarm clock wake you up this fine Saturday morning?

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend! 

The End of The Innocence

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday.

We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!


Saturday 9: The End of the Innocence


1) "The End of the Innocence" is one of Crazy Sam's favorite songs. Do you like it? Loathe it? Or is it before your time?

2) Obviously Don Henley was a smoker back in the 1980s. Do you smoke? Are you a former smoker? Or did you never start?

3) Childhood is generally considered an innocent time. In what town did you spend yours?

4) Do you abide by "innocent until proven guilty?" Or did you come to your own, pre-trial conclusions about famous defendants like Casey Anthony and OJ Simpson?

5) Is there an old TV show whose cast you'd like to see reunite?

6) Do you know how to ride a horse?

7) You're ordering ice cream. Cup or cone?

8) Do you believe a gentleman should help a lady with her coat?

9) Which search engine do you use most often?

Ain't No Other Man

Saturday 9: Ain't No Other Man

1) Do you believe there's only one person (and there ain't no other) for you? Or do you think we can truly love several partners over the course of our lives?

2) Do you have this, or any other, Christina song on your iPod/mp3 player?

3) Christina Aguilera won a Grammy for her performance of this song. What do you deserve an award for? And who would you thank in your acceptance speech?

4) Christina Aguilera has her own brand of perfume. Do you have a fragrance or scent you regularly wear?

5) Do you have any allergies?

6) There's an older lady who proclaims during a TV commercial, "I will give up beer, bread, wine or soda but I won't give up Life Alert!" No, we're not going to debate her diet. Instead the question is: What are some of the staples that are always on your grocery list?

7) What's your favorite sitcom of all time?

8) When it comes to your socks, do you prefer solids, stripes or prints?

9) At what age do you consider a person "middle aged?"  And when do they transition to "old?"

Bud's Last Stand: But Sat-9 Will Go On

Hi! This is going to be a wrap for this version or edition of Saturday 9. A woman named Lola Harrington penned "Saturday 8" when I started the WTIT Blog in 2006. It had been handed down and I believe she was the blog's third author. By the time I found it, there were three or four players a week. When it ended I felt this void. I tried to find another decent Saturday meme, what Patrick does is fine, but it didn’t work for me. So, I decided to do it myself. I found playing the meme just as good, since I just stole the nine questions from memes everywhere.

I felt WTIT: The Blog had given me such a wise ass reputation, that I need an “alias” to pen this. I got the rights to the picture that we’ve know as “Crazy Sam Winters” and we were off! No one knew and the meme had fifty players a week, soon enough. Even my own girlfriend (of the time) didn’t know. She once accused Sam of “coming on to me”. (Bright, she wasn’t.) I will miss Sam. I felt I channeled her for the longest time. Even the whole “Just a Silly Meme” came to me from her. But wait...Sam will go on!

We displayed this picture of "Sam" every Christmas.

When I posted this, no one had offered to take it over. But, today we've had several offers & we will sort it out. BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT Sat-9 will go on! And it looks like Samantha will continue to host! I couldn't be happier.

My own blog ended last week If you have not read my last post, do me a favor and stop by, read it and leave a comment before I fade completely away by clicking here. Last night, was my stag party. (Kathy & I wed on the 20^th!) We got the WTIT “band” together and we recorded comedy. WTIT was the reason I entered the blogosphere. The WTIT.net website had this “blog” thing. I got hooked. But now WTIT is recording a lot again. I can’t do both. So I’m leaving. But, I'm sure this blog will be in good hands! 

Thank YOU for stopping by each week. Join the new author next week. It’s been my pleasure.

Peace & love!

Bud
