Olympics 5/5

Dear QotD?ers,

Do you remember me telling you that you probably wouldn't get your QotD? in time on my off-Fridays? Well. that's what happened today.

Now, to finish up the First QotD? Theme Week

Imagine that you have won an Olympic Medal (I don't care what you won for: real or ficitional event, support stuff, whatever)

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Where will you keep your Olympic Medal!?

Love,

The Asker

Dear QotD?ers,

Good morning! I hope we all have a pleasant week ahead of us. I'll do my best to make sure your QotD? bits are entertaining.

This weekend we went to the world's best water park (true fact). The water was cold, the weather was pretty nice, but the park was crowded. That part wasn't too unexpected for a Saturday in July. Some people enjoy people watching, and there's nothing quite like people-watching at a water park. Of the hundreds of people, I never saw the same swimsuit twice. I did see a LOT of skin, and also tattoos! My favorite tattoo was a stick figure spouting profanity. The tattoo looked home done and not very well at that. And it was casually on display, as if profanity at a family oriented park is no big deal. Dude, at least your long hair was pretty.

Imagine that tattoos are painless, free and can be activated and deactivated.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What tattoo would you get?

Remember, by deactivation you could make your tattoo invisible during serious events. You may assume that different portions of any tattoo can visibile and invisible at the same time.

Love,

Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand

Dear QotD?ers,

Did Duran Duran know that the Rio Grande was not that glamorous of a river?

Last night at yoga class, we were working on a pretty intense progression of poses. Halfway through class time I started getting really hot and sweating more than usual at class. I assumed that I was 1) working much harder 2) possibly experiencing a return of my fever. The reason it was getting so hot was actually a combination of 1) and 3) the air conditioner stopped working. So, thank goodness I didn't have a fever but GOOD HEAVENS it was hot in there. It was actually cooler outside, in Texas.

Imagine that you and your boss are going to a meeting requiring a one hour road trip. You will be driving

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What station would you play on the radio?

Your favorite questioner,

Dear QotD?ers,

cuñao => 'slang' for cuñado => spanish for brother-in-law => more specifically my brother-in-law, the polyglot

One of the cable channels is doing a retro 80's prime-time programming special. That means that there were TWO HOURS OF ALF on last night. Since I had yoga class, we recorded it. When I got home, we watched an episode while we ate our lasagna. Justin was suprised that I remembered the theme song enough to sing along (it's instrumental). So was I (surprised, not instrumental)!

This morning, NPR had some news story involving a guy named Michael Brocolli. Imagine that your last name could be a food.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What would it be?

Love,

The Asker

GRAND RE-OPENING!

Today is the first official day of QotD? All across America today, there were be fantastic firework shows coinciding with the Grand Re-Opening! Thanks America!

Because QotD? is trying out a different format, I've created an FAQ that may help you any questions you have. Please peruse at your leasure. The link is just under the Question of the Day? heading in the blue bar. There is also a link to a 'Meet some QotD?ers' post which I'm hoping to keep updated as a regular feature.

I'm very excited to be starting up again.

Imagine that you have become leader of a new, independent country

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Where is it, what is it called, what are the country's official flower/bird/food/pastime or whatever?

For those interested in additional challenge, write lyrics for the national anthem.

Love,

The Asker

P.S. for those in America, Happy Independence Day! for those Americans in Brazil, Happy 4th of July!

Wednesday

Dear QotD?ers,

Yesterday evening I bought a bag of whole almonds to serve as a healthy snack at work. This morning, I tore across the top at the 'tear hear' location, but somebody was sleeping at their 'packaging quality control' job and now I have to use scissors to open my almonds. Just like in the olden days before advanced packaging! ~opens bag~ Success! ~crunch~

In a completely unrelated topic, reruns of ALF will be showing this summer as part of a 'remember how great the 80's were?' summer promotion. I forget which station, but I've set our DVR to record it. ALF's only fault was that he likes to eat cats.


Imagine you are a martial artist,

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What power word do you exclaim when throwing a kick/chop/punch to the face of your enemies?

(Think "hi-yah!", but more original)

Love,

The Asker

A serving of almonds is apparently 8 almonds.
