The Daily F Bomb, Wednesday 1/23

Benevolent greeting, my ineffably esteemed Effers!

Do you have a musical guilty pleasure? Do you have a movie that is a guilty pleasure? How about a food? Do you currently have a crush on any famous person? Who? Is there room in your life for edible glitter? What hobbies do you have?

Here are some Tweets from deepest Tweetistan:

The Daily F Bomb, Tuesday 1/22

Good morning, Effers! Yesterday was pretty cool, no? I rather enjoyed it.

Let me try to focus my nosiness on yesterday’s festivities: Is Obama a good dancer? What was your favorite part of his speech? Are you prepared for the inevitable backlash against Michelle for rolling her eyes at Boehner? How many pairs of Jimmy Choo shoes do YOU own? What was the best musical interlude of the day? Does crab with clam chowder sauce sound edible to you?

Twitter is Troublesome Tonight, but I will Try:

Time for the history lesson below the fold:

The Daily F Bomb, Monday 1/21 Inauguration Day

Happy Inauguration Day!  I remember being in those crowds four years ago. Never before had I seen so many people crowded together and moving so slowly and STILL all in a fabulous mood. Every time the crowd had to stop moving for a moment, people would turn to whoever they were next to and ask, “So where are you from?” It was really fun, really amazing.

This year I get to watch from the comfort of my couch. Crowded with cats, clutching a cup of coffee. Hopefully not coughing. 😉

I will not let you off the hook on my nosy questions, however. Why would I do that?

For starters, what was your first car? Should there be nuts in brownies? What about frosting? If you were being inaugurated, whose bible (or what other book) would you want to be sworn in on? Do you like Michelle’s bangs? What did you keep in  your high school locker? When you travel, do you travel light or heavy? What scene that you witnessed in your pre-every phone having a camera life do you wish you had been able to capture in a photo?

Last nights Twitter offerings are:

Now, it’s time for your history lesson. Pay attention, and don’t forget to read the hovers.

The Daily F Bomb, Sunday 1/20

Happy Sunday, Bombers.

What is your favorite cookbook? What is the best recipe in it? If you could only watch one TV channel, what would it be? Do you collect anything (besides dust)? Mac or PC? What is your perfect outdoor temperature range? On a scale of 1 – 10, with 10 being the highest, what is your skill level with programmable electronic devices?

The Daily F Bomb, Saturday 1/19

Happy Sat– Cat– Fat? urday! (I always have a massive breakfast on Saturdays, so the latter certainly applies here.)

My nosiness knows no bounds! Today’s questions: Boxers or briefs or boxer briefs? Or for women: Granny panties, bikini briefs, butt floss, or one of those other fits? Who was the first live musical act you ever saw? What was the first play you ever saw (school plays don’t count)? What is your favorite Shakespeare play? What is your favorite cocktail? Whose poster did you have on the wall when you were a kid?

From the Twitterverse:

Now, on to the history lesson!

The Daily F Bomb, Friday 1/18

Happy Friday, F-ers! It’s so nice to see the week drawing to an end, except for the fact that we’re all a week older (which is great if you’re about to turn 21).

Questions: For the meat eaters: Rare, medium rare, or well done? Trees: deciduous or evergreen? What is your favorite kind of tree? Gilligan or Maynard G. Krebs? What do you crave more often, sweet or savory? What is your least favorite color? What song makes you run screaming from the room? If you could match up any two pundits in a cage match, which ones would you chose? Which one would win?

Now for the history lesson!

The Daily F Bomb, Thursday 1/17

Hello, Bombers! Another day, another dollar. Another day, another stupid Republican Trick. Another day, another gun death. Another day, another…

So let me think of some irrelevant questions to ask you. What was your favorite sitcom ever? Soup: Broth based or creamy? What is your favorite cheese? T-shirts: V-neck or crew neck? Farrah, Jaclyn, or Kate? What is your favorite decade (not counting this one) for fashion? Men in sandals, yes or no? Facial hair, good or bad?

The usual suspects on Twitter have this to say (please note there are some jokes about an imaginary girlfriend. If you missed this, Google Manti Te’o):

Now, on to the history lesson!

The Daily F Bomb, Wednesday 1/16

Happy Hump day, Effers! Wednesday, also (for me) gym day, which equates to feline resentment day…

A few questions: Do drinks taste better out of bottles or cans? What food does everyone else love but you hate? What sounds best? Records, CDs or MP3s (and other electronic variations)? Have you ever caught yourself saying, “When I was your age…?” Did you stop yourself in time? Hardwood or carpet? White, whole wheat, sourdough, rye, pumpernickel, or other? What do you mean, “it depends???”  Has your handwriting deteriorated with the advent of computers? Has anything else? Can you still be a feminist and be subservient to shoes?

Let’s have some Tweets:

Now, on to the history lesson!

The Daily F Bomb, Tuesday 1/15

:::yawn:::  Good morning. I hope the day finds you well. And the night, and even the following mooring.

Some questions for today: Do famous people deserve privacy? Thai or Chinese? Purebred or mutt? Shaved head or comb-over? Favorite childhood cartoons? Fat or skinny fries? Fave milkshake flavor? Favorite dessert? So, Ann Romney turned down Dancing With the Stars? Are you disappointed?

Time for your history lesson!

The Daily F Bomb, Monday 1/14

Happy Monday, Bombers. Call me superficial, but I am recovering from Golden Globe Mania from last night (and I haven’t seen any of the films and few of the TV shows). What I found most amusing was everyone in my Twitter feed who tweets nonstop about football being amazed that anyone could care about an awards show! To tell the truth, I had little intention of watching the show, but the best hosts ever turned out to be Amy Poehler and Tina Fey. And Bill Clinton presented “Lincoln” and Jodie Foster came out officially. Interesting night!

So pardon me if all the questions relate to the show. ;-P

What’s worse, pale white girls in flesh toned dresses or should-be pale white girls with spray on Boehner tans? Do you secretly wish that one of the actresses wearing a fishtail dress will topple over while going up to get her award? Is Quentin Tarantino an asshole or a talented asshole? For those who watched, what was the worst dress? Should men feel cheated for having to wear the same uniform at all these shows? What was the best dress? What was the best joke?

Almost all of the tweets relate to the show, too:
