Dear QotD?ers,

Hearing bad news from the dentist would be aweful.

This was a three day weekend and I got quite a bit done. took in the recycling, went to the dentist (I heard only good news!), made returns at hobby lobby, did lots of laundry, did lots of ironing and watching movies while ironing that ironing. Stations of the Cross Friday night. Saw some friends for dinner Saturday night, grocery shopping. Did I mention the ironing? because it seems like I spent forever doing that.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

If you were some sort of cheesey newscaster, what would your sign-off/catch-phrase be?

Love,
The Asker

"And YOU are looking good!" with a little wink, snapping fingers and the cute pointing gesture that will prove that I am cool!

Ironing does take forever. But since the dishwasher broke over the weekend, I have discovered that hand-washing dishes for a meal with five people does as well.
I prefer ironing, though, because once you are done, the clothes do not seem to immediately need to be worn, soiled , washed and ironed again. Those dishes do!!

Although I do have a nice non-regional diction, I've never given much thought to a cheesy sign-off line.

Mr. Moore does all the ironing in our house (of which there is very VERY little) because he has realized that one of my mutant abilities is to wrinkle clothing WHILE I iron it.

Daryl has put thought into this in the past and his line is:
Good night and godspeed.

I very, very rarely iron.

Some of these stories may be made up.

Dear The Asker,
First off why would you want to be a cheesy newscaster? Everyone knows that those are the first people that supervillians target for destruction. Secondly, I would find the mice that were constantly nibbling at my ears and toes quite bothersome. Thirdly, you said some sort of cheese. What kind? Fougerus? Zamorano? Clearly not Rabacal because nothing with that high of a fat content could ever be a newscaster! "Luke ich bin dein Vater" I would say in a raspy voice with my high voltage cutting device in hand. Of course it would have to be red!
Sincerly,
Dr. Fandango, Knower of cheese and geman.

Anne, fantastic! I would watch that news! good call on the dishes.

TamiJean, what are your other mutant abilities?

Sabrina, that seems like an odd thing to have put past thought into, but it leaves Daryl very prepared in case he is an emergency fill in newscaster. you don't need to iron! In Brazil, the clothes steam as you wear them!

Bobs, this is my favorite answer.

Dr. Fandango, I'm glad that you have returned! You have brought up many intersting points, most of which I will ignore. Gorgonzola. very effective signoff. NEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!

My other mutant abilities are many, but foremost among them is my inability to generate body heat, the fact that radio stations stop playing music the instant I begin listening to them, and the somewhat common ability of whichever line I choose in the grocery store is the absolute worst line to have chosen.
