Cool! I love these! We can also say weird random things! Like, never put a Thundershirt on a dog. It makes them fall over and stagger around like they're drunk. It supposedly "cures" anxiety and the like. But it doesn't cure bad breath. Yes. This has been tested and proven.

WOOHOO!!! John Denver fans! My people! Most people I ask have never heard of John Denver! He's my Grandmomma's, my mom's, and mine favorite country singer! My faves of his are: Thank God I'm a Country Boy, Grandma's Feather Bed, Take Me Home Country Roads, Wild Montana Skys, Matthew, & Dreamland Express! Have ya'll heard any of those others?
(January 5, 2013 - 4:20 pm)
Yes! My favorites are Thank God I'm a Country Boy, Grandma's Feather Bed, Sweet Surrender, Take Me Home, Country Roads, Home Grown Tomatoes, Annie's Song and Matthew.
(January 6, 2013 - 12:08 pm)
I LOVE those songs, but I haven't heard of Home Grown Tomatoes! I'll have to check it out! Have you heard is Wild Montana Skies?
(January 7, 2013 - 10:22 pm)
No, but I like the title.

1. Rush has about a billion and one songs that start with "R" so let's go find one. Huh. I only found seven. Oh well. Resist or Red Tide (lucky Quintus, to have an M name. I love Power Windows.)
2. I don't tend to look in mirrors that often but I am wearing red pajamas.
3. J.R.R.Tolkien (heh heh)
4. H.A.Rey the flea
5. Reptiles? (Well, I like do like reptiles. I hate amphibinas, though, even though they are just about the only anmals I'm not allergic to.)
6. (This is cheap becuase it has my nickname in it.) "Ru-kun is being our spy. While we call the asylum to come pick up Sir JLM III, Ru-kun will distact her with a benign conversation while giving us more evidence of her insanity." "What are they talking about?" "Robert the doll." "That's benign?" "Apparently."

Oh! We like fishes and batses and goblinses, my precious, but we haven't tryed Hobbitses before. Is it soft? is it juicy?-Gollum
Okay, that was kind of cheating but oh well.
(January 5, 2013 - 1:08 pm)
Us Hs must cheat.
I have another H quote, by the way...
"I have peanut butter on my neck." My friend literally said that yesterday.
(January 6, 2013 - 10:33 am)
H name high five!
That was really hard to do with H.
(January 6, 2013 - 12:39 pm)
Returning high five! Yeah. I was really stumped on the Cricket one.
Spamster in his spamster cage says ntzi. We do not like nazis here, spamster.
(January 6, 2013 - 5:24 pm)
GAAAAH.
WHY????
Why does my name not start with a T? Or an S? Or an E? or something besides Z?
Why was I not creative enough to make a fake Chatterbox name, thus saving myself from the agony of trying to answer these questions?
In that case, here goes.
1. Your favorite song. (The title)
*Checks iPod*
Wow. Just wow. I have not a single song on my iPod that starts with or contains the letter Z.
Pass on this question.
2. Something you see in your mirror.
I am going to opt for the easy way out: Zach. Me.
3. Favorite author
*Now checks bookshelf*
2 minutes later: Aha! Pat Shmatz. Does that count? It is the last letter of his name. But it is the only author whose books I have read whose name contains the letter Z.
4. Something related to Cricket.
A reprieve. Zoot.
5. Favorite animal.
That one's easy. Zebra.
6. Funny quote.
Oh, come on. I don't know any quotes, much less funny ones, and much much less any funny quotes that contain the letter Z.
Google to the rescue.
30 seconds later: "To pragmatists, the letter Z is nothing more than a phonetically symbolic glyph, a minor sign easily learned, readily assimilated, and occasionally deployed in the course of a literate life."
-Tom Robbins
I don't know what that means, but it came up on my computer screen, so whatever. Also, it's supposed to be funny, so someone tell me if it actually is and, if so, what I'm missing.

Spammy says gmgw. Stop mumbling, Spammy.
Zack, do you like the song "Zipedee Doo Dah"? And how about Markus Zusak, who wrote The Book Thief?
