Ask a question, or two, or twenty
I'm still playing principal (notice the "pal"), so my mind is henceforth focused on all things elementary such as: scraped knees, lost homework, running in the halls, and rained out lunch time at the playground. Therefore, I ask you, dear internet, to supply the direction for this post.
Ask me a question, any question, and I will answer it. Is there something you've always wanted to know? Is there something you just think would be fun to ask? Are you wondering what is behind curtain number 2?
Well just ask. It's up to you.
Peanut gallery participation is a must on this one.

How important is the Dublin Dr. Pepper, and how close to Dublin do I need to go
Ha ha, thank you so much for the offer but I think I have it taken care of.
But just to educate you about all things Dublin Dr Pepper, to guarantee it came directly from the Dublin plant you would need to be within a 20 mile radius of Dublin. This "rule" was set up because that is how far a horse cart could travel round trip in one day.
Thanks Kristen, I'll swing it on my own but I appreciate the offer to make a "quick" run to the Dublin area.
If a cat chokes on a mouse while eating it and dies, who is the real murderer? Think about it.
Well Anon, I would say the cheese
If you could live anywhere, where would live?
If you could meet one person of your choice that you don't know, who would it be?
If you could pick any job, what would you pick?
If you were to get a dog, what kind would you get?
Would you ever buy a truck?
Would you ever relocate out of the country for a job?
If you could memorize one book of the Bible, which would it be?
A Father and son aer in a car accident. They are rushed to the hospital. The Father dies on the way, while the son is taken to the operating room. Later, the doctor comes in and says:"I can't operate on him, because he's my son" solve!
The "father" was the grandfather of the "son". The doctor was the son of the grandfather and the father of the "son" in the operating room.
Am I right?
Wow, ok Jcol:
1. Somewhere with mountains and seasons, I like all four to be present in my life.
2. President Bush, he's been through so much in the last one and a half terms, i just want to pick his brain
3. Job? Hmmmm, if it is a career than I would say working in the White House (childhood dream), but in the future I would love to be a mom
4. Dog: big, goofy, most likely a lab or golden
5. truck? sure, but I probably wouldn't drive it everyday, i like to drive fast and trucks aren't always the best option for that
6. yes, I would move out of the country, an adventure like that sounds exciting
7. One book? Hmmm, the Psalms (ahahaha I didn't go easy on that one did I?)
Eric: the doctor is the mother
come on man, I LOVE logical puzzles, BRING IT ON
Here is one that is school-related:
"What four-letter verb is spelled the same but pronounced differently depending on whether it's in the present or past tense?"
Read
In present tense it is pronounced like the word reed and in past tense like red
Katie: I like my answer better. Yours is too...too...logical. Mine was much more complex. :P
Boo!
It is now my mission to come up with something that you cannot figure out in two minutes.
Cheater! :P
ahaha, trust me that won't be too hard, I didn't cheat but as I said I LOVE logical puzzles so this is fun for me, test away
"What starts with 'e' ends with 'e' and contains only one letter?"
"Born at the same time as the world, destined to live as long as the world, and yet never five weeks old. What is it?"
an envelope
"What question can you never answer 'yes' to?"
this next one is stumping me . . . . the moon, what is the lenght of the lunar cycle? like from new moon to full moon I'm guessing
Boo! You got it. The moon is right. (Cheater)
i know there is probably a smart answer to this one but I would say the question you just asked
Wait...are you saying that you DON'T KNOW what question you can never say "yes" to?
...because, you know, that would totally malke my day!
If you could visit any place in the world but only one place for a whole month, what place would that be?
Describe a favorite vacation spot.
When you were a child, did you dream a dream that you remember to this day?
hmmm, ok "Are you dead?"
Tim:
One place: The British Isles (Scotland, Ireland, and England)
Fav Vacation Spot: Well I've honestly not been on a whole lot of vacations, but I love Washington D.C., there is so much to see and do there and it feeds my nerd-like-tendencies (but I lived there for a year so really would it be considered vacation worthy?)
Recurring dream: TO THIS DAY I still dream about skipping a class up until the day of the final and showing up with no idea what information would be covered, I was really serious about making good grades all through school so that dream about pushes me over the stress edge, funny that five plus years out of school and I still dream it and still wake up freaked out
Tragically, no.
The answer is: ARE YOU ASLEEP.
Haha! I won! Nanny-nanny-boo-boo!
You are one smart chick.
So, uh, what's the weather like in Nebraska this time of the year?
:P
Okay, I'm going to lunch now...
deals, i contend with that answer, because I for one talk in my sleep, and yes it has scared many a roommate, so i think that you could answer yes to that question (out of coincidence of course) but if you were dead, and truly dead, then you could of course not answer yes to that question
thanks Bobby, I am in fact a very intelligent fluffy yellow creature, i can even play the piano with my beak
and deals speaking of Nebraska, did you know that when the cornhuskers fill their stadium it exceeds the population of any city or town in the state of Nebraska?
Boo! Although I will concede that your answer does make some sense. Not a lot, mind you, but some. After all, no one asks someone if they are dead. People do ask people if they are asleep, however.
I talk in my sleep as well, but I rarely answer questions in a way that makes sense to anyone else. In fact, one particular roommate of mine and I used to have long, drawn-out conversations all night. We had no idea, until we had someone spend the night with us. Apparently, it was quite an animated exchange - completely nonsensical - but animated none-the-less.
Figures. You know you live in Nebraska when the maximum capacity of your stadium is more than the last census figures for the state!
You must get lonely...
A petshop owner had a parrot with a sign on its cage that said "Parrot repeats everything it hears". Davey bought the parrot and for 2 weeks he spoke to it and it didn't say a word. He returned the parrot but the shopkeeper said he never lied about the parrot. How can this be?
You got the first one, Katie, I knew you would-I seen it on an episode of m*a*s*h in the 80's-probably worked more back then, of course. You're a smart girl-it will be hard to stump ya, kiddo.
the parrot was deaf
and thanks, not so sure on the smartness factor, but a good portion of my brain is held hostage by lots of random knowledge and non-sensical answers to trivial stuff
Knock, Knock
the parrot is deaf
get to work! Doesnt playing principal envolve MORE work?
Katie, the British Isles sounds like a fascinating place to spend a month. Switzerland or Australia would be rival competitors for me.
Even though you spent a year in Washington, D.C., that is always an eligible favorite vacation spot. So much to do and see there. I have a brother who works in D.C. Mine has been the state of Maine especially Acadia National Park and Baxter State Park. Great places for hiking and camping.
The dream you shared brought back to memory a dream that I had registered for a class and somehow could never find the classroom.
So what is your favorite category of literature and do you have a favorite book?
Whaat: Who's there?
Steve: Look at you trying to steal my brain teaser answering thunder . . . and I am working, well sort of, in fact I just rescued a third grader from a run away lunch box headed directly for his face
Boo!
Tim I'm a fan of all literature (thanks to my grandmother who encouraged me to read as a child), not sure if I have a favorite book, there is a special place in my heart for the entire collection of works by Jane Austen, but other than that I love books and will read most genres, I just like a good story
Whaat:
Boo who?
(Don't cry)
It's just deals on wheels getting stumped by katie again. Boo!
Are you looking these up on the internet? Have you heard these before? Not fair.
Oooh, I love stump Katie day.
Imagine you are in a room with 3 switches. In adjacent room there are 3 bulbs (all are off at the moment), each switch belongs to some bulb. It is impossible to see from one room to another. How can you find out, which switch belongs to which bulb, if you may enter the room with bulbs only once?
Knock, Knock
quick! what is 8 x 92?
Eric: ha, no I'm not looking them up (not yet at least), I've heard a few but most or just logical (and I'm a good guesser)
Whaat: Who's there?
Jes: 736
Whaaaat's up with asking me who's there. We're supposed to be asking you questions. : )
Heather: Hmmm, I'm thinking, let me work this out in my head
Heather - are all the switches in the same position? for instance all three up?
Yes, all the switches are in the same position.
oh . . . . Heather, let's see if this will work, turn on all switches at the same time, after 10 seconds turn off switch number one, after another 10 seconds turn off switch number two, and then after another 10 seconds turn off switch number three, now go into the room and feel the bulbs, the hottest will be number three, the coolest number one, and the one inbetween will be number two
Can you name a word that is its own antonym?
and Will I be Rich and Famous someday??
Logan
Logan - Hmmm let me think on the first one but in regards to the second, if rich means a life filled with things of great worth then yes, and if famous means that you will be important and known to those who care for you than of course, but if you mean will you will have a tv show about you with Robin Leach hosting, then well I just don't know
You're on the right track, you just made it more difficult than it is. Turn one on, leave it on for a few minutes, turn it off. Turn on the next one, walk into the room, you have one that's on, one that's hot and one that's cold.
Hmmm Cant say I know who Robin Leach is, but Katie my dearest Katie we have to be careful about carying on a conversation on here...... People seem to get a little jealous LOL Hahahah
oh Logan, first it was the Fonze and now Robin Leach, what in the world kind of education did you get up there in Oregon? Did they not fill your head with useless knowledge of all things insignificant and yet pop culturish?
Robin Leach was the host of a television show called Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. He would take you to exotic places where people with more money than sense would have five pools in their enormous estates all plated in gold, yet they didn't swim because the chlorine would alter thier perfectly colored hair piece.
And who is getting jealous?
OK, wait, wait, wait, Logan didn't know who the Fonze was? Not knowing Robin Leach is bad enough but you didn't know who the Fonze was? You may have to be disowned as an Oregonian.
Me
I have talked to Logan about this and have beat him about the head and neck for not knowing the Fonz...
It makes me sick
*shakes head in disbelief*
Smart, genius K-T. FORGOT THE MOST IMPORTANT COUNTRY IN THE BRITISH ISLES!!!!
AUGH!!!!!
My heritage CRIES OUT in disbelief.
EEEEEEKKKKKKKK
sorry Jcol, and WALES, I must visit WALES
and ahahaha, yes, Steve, beat Logan severly for not knowing the Fonze
and then tie him to a chair and make him watch hours upon hours of Happy Days (but you don't have to make him watch Joanie loves Chatchi)
Oh, KT, you are letting him off way too easily. I think "Joanie Loves Chachi" is the only appropriate disciplinary action for a case like this. And you call yourself acting principal!!
Thanks, Sporre. Could you hit him just one more time for good measure?
Hey now you guys are so mean to me. I know the guy that does Life Styles of the Rich and Famous, but I didn't know the guys name... But you still have not answered my other question, have I stumped you?
Yes also we Oregonians were only educated in smartness. So my head is not filled with useless knowledge like Joni Loves Chatchi, whoever Joni and Chatchi is..... but hey whatever. I do have a friend coming down to live in Texas with you though I am sending my spies down there muhahahaha
oh gosh LogDog I did forget your question, wait I have to go back and look
and who is venturing to the promised land of texas? Watch out, one thing about Texas, is once you get down here it's really hard to go back.
My Brother Pat McQuistan Got Drafted to play for your Lovely Dallas Cowboys this weekend, His Twin Brother Paul McQuistan Got drafted to Play for Oakland Raiders
oh wow, that's exciting, he gets to be part of "America's Team" (ahahahaa I know that anyone outside of Texas HATES that the Cowboys call themselves that)
Well Yeah, I do not really like the Cowboys and I hate the Raiders, but hey Now that two of my brothers play for them, I love the Cowboys, and I love the Raiders
yes but who will you love more when they play each other?
Whaaaat: I like to say "Boo!" Ghosts on Halloween shouldn't have all the fun.
Katie: What will I be when I grow up?
Well when that happens probably the Raiders, since The Cowboys are kinda little wussies
Does anyone else think that it is somehow wrong that there are 70+ comments for this post?
(And that 40% of them have been made by Katie, herself)?
Hehe... :P
Deals, if by "up" you mean you reach your attained height goal of 6 feet you will be a professional basketball player in the WNBA (and if that doens't work than you will toil away on TLC competing in the World's Strongest Woman's contest where you will drag tractor trailers and bench press furniture)
but if by "up" you mean in age progression you will be a professional animal costume designer after starting your own line of dog clothes for gypsy kitty (who is in fact a dog although you confuse him(her?) by calling him(her?) a kitty)
but then again if you mean by "up" when you mature you will in fact becoming boring
OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Logan, you are treading on a very slipperly slope, I may not be the biggest Cowboys fan (I prefer college football thankyouverymuch) but you have just insulted a sports team from Texas and as such will suffer great wrath upon yourself (and by the way HELLO your bro is like 300+ pounds so I may not be an intimidating threat but he could sit on you and kill you and you just insulted his new livelyhood)
and deals, no nothing wrong
1. Why is the so-called "World's Strongest Woman's Contest" on TLC? Shouldn't it be on ESPN or - at the very least - Foxx?
2. Can my animal costumes be on Animal Planet? Because I love Animal Planet.
3. Gypsy Kitty is a "she". Sheesh! And you obviously never read Bill Wallace...
4. Boring, huh?! Does that include Dental?
5. I'm like YEARS younger than you or something. You're 28, right? Yep, you are YEARS my SENIOR! Hehe...I just called you "senior".
Oh, and...
6. I'm an Eagles fan. The Cowboys ARE big wussies. Except this year they'll be big wussies with additude (haha...T.O.'s your problem now)!
1. I don't make programming for TLC and maybe it is on ESPN, but only on one of the alternate ESPN's that my dish thinks I need (which by the way I DO when it is college football season but not when it is game and fishing season)
2. Yes I will allow that
3. You've named your dog as a cat and I am supposed to be able to identify it's gender? pshaw
4. Dental and vision, go for it, but it might be a big lifestyle change
5. and i'm betting that you are only able to say years because it is greater than one and less than three, so you are past the prime age of 25, welcome to the land of seniordom my young wipper snapper
Hahahaha Katie Dear Katie, yes that may be true he is 300+ pounds close to 320, but I did say that the other one who plays for the raiders is his twin didn't I he is also 320 pounds, and I favored his team, so basically it will just be a standoff between two Giants With me and you getting smashed in the middle hahahahaha LOL
what is one word that has its own antonym?
A Ha! And what if I'm not past the tender age of 25?
Senior, senior, senior!
and Logan, I'm taking a guess but would this work for your question:
sanction?
Don't most words have an antonym? Isn’t the whole concept of “opposite” already built into most things? Even the word “antonym” has an “antonym”…
I’m missing the point, aren’t I?
I am just impressed that deals actually writes more in Katies comments then on her own blog...
hmmm not the one that I was thinking of but Yeah I guess that would work, the one that I was thinking of is
Cleave
Yes Deals you are right most words have an antonym but the words antonyms are usualy entirely different words,
Cleave is its own antonym so is sanction like Katie said,
But like Hot is the antonym of Cold, but they are not the same word
yep that one works, to separate and to come together, the english language is just plain weird at times
