Questions

These are 5 questions we have answered to get to know us better.

David:

  1. What is your favorite color? Typical male response blue, Favorite color combination dark gray and light blue
  2. Do you get sarcasm? What is sarcasm (said sarcastically)
  3. If you had on super power what would it be? I have actually thought about this a lot. It used to be minds control, but have recently changed it to being able to know what people’s situation is. I know this sounds creepy, but i am a people watcher and would love to know what people do for a living, who they are with and the relationship, and there personality. It is a super power after all.
  4. Music listening to on your ipod or in your cd player. Arctic Monkeys, The Fratellies, and The balck keys
  5. Favorite sport to watch? Does poker count as a sport? if not Football.

Roni:

  1. What is your favorite color? Typical female reponse, pink. I only said that becuase David did and anyway he already stole blue.
  2. Do you get sarcasm? "Get it" as in have I picked up some at the store recently? or "get it" like we’re in on the same joke? Becuase I did just grab some sarcasm at Wal-Mart the other day, but I wanted to make sure I understood the question. Wait a minute, let me answer that again. No.
  3. If you had on super power what would it be? Easy. Invisibility.
  4. Music listening to on your ipod or in your cd player. Everything from Pantera to Patsy Cline, Beatles to Beyonce, Ten Years After to Tears for Fears. I could go on and on here.
  5. Favorite sport to watch? I probably would’t watch any if it wasn’t for the husband. That being said I don’t mind… Football, golf, and (ok David) Poker.

No Dave, Poker does not count as a sport. It would be like calling Chess a sport. It is an activity. I am still on the fence nearly 20 years on about golf by the way. I mean it takes excellent hand-eye coordination and a modicum of fitness, but really, a sport? I don’t know. It seems more like an activity, but you keep score, if you walk you get a mild cardio-vascular workout, and you can gamble on it.

I think it just beats Poker as the last sport allowed in before being shuttled into the “activity” room never to return.

Ha! so does that mean that bowling is not a sport either? It has some sort of walking involved and you are throwing, ok rolling, a ball. So what classifies a sport? Can it be the amount of exercise that you get, how far you run, the amount of energy you burn, contact, etc….This is a good debate. For years people have told me that running is not a sport. Where does that fall. And good to see your comments.

Long time no debate. I miss it!!!

Really? People say running isn’t a sport? That amazes me. It qualifies as an olympic sport, which should be enough for anyone. I’m glad you mentioned that you roll, rather than throw the ball, in bowling, now I know why I was having so much trouble:-) “What is a sport” is actually a very good question. I wish Jim McKay was still around to ask…I bet he would have come up with a good answer!
