Concerning number eight -- you would loooove being in the Chicago suburbs today! Partly sunny with a high of 65. Feels like a perfect fall day ... only weirdly tucked into the end of August.
And it would be fun to have lunch with blogging friends! Thanks for tagging me. I will try to muster up the brainpower to asnwer, but if I don't I loved reading yours. :)
I think I know the answer to #16! This is according to my own step-son who is very up on internet language, because he runs a chat room for his job.
There's a slang term that says, "You got owned." It applies when someone bests or slams you.
For example, you're having a war of verbal wits with someone and you are exhibiting your best sarcasm. Well, your opponent slams you with the ultimate in sarcastic comebacks. Everyone agrees that he won, and the spectators might say, "You got owned."
However, when typing "You got owned" the "o" key is right next to the "p" key, so many times it comes out as a big typo that says "You got pwned." It happens so frequently,(kind of like "teh" for "the") that people at first starting using the phrase "You got pwned," mocking those people who are not careful in their typing. Now, "You got pwned" has replaced "You got owned."
So when your son says it to you, he's basically saying "You got slammed, but good!"
And thus ends my language lesson du jour. :)
I'm with Hyacynth on today's weather. It's so gorgeous with the sun (finally!) and the nice breeze. All our windows and doors are open. Gorgeous!
And I so have a thing for the cartoons of my youth. They're SO much better than the ones that are out there today. *sigh*
That is way to much thought for my small brain today!
Heehee, I sooo love your answers esp #26. Now I feel guilty and selfish. Many, many thanks for mentioning me :) Russian is an interesting language to learn. Wouldn't it be nice to read in your language of choice and bark orders? I loved Josie & The PussyCats! The theme song rocked! Thanks for sharing and playing along.
Dropping by from SITS...showing some SITS blog support. Have a wonderful weekend! Love your blog!!
I've been tagged! :-) Thanks for thinking of me Kelly. I will play along and perhaps post this sometime in the next two weeks.
A BRIGHT orange shirt? Really? You must be ready for the fall. ;-)
Lunch with blog friends? I'm available. Just say the word! :-)
Interesting questions and even more interesting questions! Russian? My language of choice would be Ancient Greek. And tell your hubby the African plains are THE most beautiful Eden anyone could wish for (hope you get to visit us one day!) :)
Good morning! ♥ Nice tag! Come over and enjoy Sunday Citar HERE.
I wish I had Padma's body too...lol. I love meme's...yours is great! Thanks for sharing a bit more of yourself with us today.
Great getting to learn more about you. I also wish I could learn Russian. I tried once and it was really tough!
And I'll take the Africa trip with you!
I"m obsessed with Project Runway atm, myself. There are worse obsessions :)
Mmm I am with you on the chocolate.
Neat stuff! Thanks for sharing. :)
I'm with you on Project Runway. But we don't seem to be getting this season here in Canada. I'm pissed. Can't say I would want to learn Russian. Too hard. I think Spanish or Italian would be fun.
