Shark Bait and Bated Words







What Halloween Figure Are You? (MANY RESULTS WITH SIX ALL NEW ONES!!)



Hello, my happy friend. You have high spirits and know how to have a good time. When your friends go out, most likely they invite you almost all the time. You most likely will enjoy your Halloween. Good for you. Keep up the excitement. You probably light people's dark days with your smiles and laughter. Although you're good, doesn't mean you're an angel. You can tend to have a scary and/or other type of side to you. As long as you have fun, do your scares this Halloween. Have a safe and happy one, Joyous Pumpkin.

The siding crew was late again this morning. No big surprise there. They actually made good progress yesterday, though, and what's been done so far really does look nice.

Do you know how many months it's been since I promised myself I'd get over my WIP-inertia and get busy doing something about it? I hope you don't remember; it's embarrassing. I seem to have some kind of mental block about that entire project. Maybe I should just burn it and start something new. Even I am smart enough to intuit (somewhere deep in the recesses of the wreckage of my mind) that I'm doing nothing for a reason -- and that doing nothing is getting me nowhere.




How would you like to find yourself in the ocean with this monster? This 11-foot-long, 844-pound Mako shark was caught recently by fishermen off Destin, Florida.






What does a vampire never order at a restaurant?
A stake sandwich

Why do vampires need mouthwash?
They have bat breath

What's a vampire's favorite fast food?
A guy with very high blood pressure

What is a ghoul's favorite flavor?
Lemon-slime

TWISTED LINGUISTICS wasn't altogether sure what to do with this crop of Words Gone Wild culled from the writings of putative writers. I'm thinking maybe I'll simply toy with them, much like a cat with a mouse.

an extreme coo
straightenes
top honerns
to be taken else were’s you will be very well knowen
adsured
appriciate
inconvinience
My book is not publish it, only submitting it

Okay. If you have teenage kids who are top honerns, be adsured that to be taken else were’s you will be very well knowen. In other words, you can modify their behavior if you make like a cuckoo and leave them in someone else's home for a while, hooting like an owl as you burn rubber getting away. You may not appriciate the inconvinience (though chugging a good vintage of wine will help), but it will be an extreme coo on your part -- and the end result will be straightenes. And when it's all over (and you're released from the locked ward), you can write a book, submit it to a faux publisher, and be able to proudly babble and coo, "My book is not publish it, only submitting it!"

Yes, I know that made no sense whatsoever. That's the whole point.

OK...I took your little quiz, and I saw NO place to click to find out the results...I'm Non-Plussed!!
Secondly, I know you fairly well I think, but your last paragraph was way out there!!!!
WTF were you babbling about?
Is that a quiz of some sort?
I think I should check out the moon phase...
Anyway...LOVED the shark pic!!!

Charles said...

OMG! Are you responsible for that last paragraph, or is that one you copied?

an extreme coo- something heard at the Pigeon X-games.
straightenes- unmodified Nintendo.
top honerns- most the wife brought back hooking.
to be taken else were’s you will be very well knowen- ???
adsured- Deodorant application.
appriciate- Sen. Larry Craig is lucky this isn't what he plead to.
inconvinience- How convict Vini smuggles his stash.
My book is not publish it, only submitting it- Title explanation. should have used quotes, i.e. "publish it", "submitting it"

Serena said...

Well, damn, Galen. I hate it when I nonplus you. Suck-ass quiz.

Of COURSE, that last paragraph was way out there. What else are you gonna do with Words Gone Wild?:-) Moon's coming, but not for another 10 days yet.:)

That shark pic just makes me think No More Ocean Swimming!
xoxox

Yes, I am responsible for making that up, Charles. Admitting it could get me locked up for irresponsibility, but what the hell.

I laughed 'til I snorted at your definitions of coo and top honerns. LOL!:-)

Crow-

Let us put our heads down and be gloomy around you. You are one morbid, perhaps depressing character. Your dark mind causes you to talk about things of the same subject. Others (myself included) may not mind your talk and find it interesting to talk to you since death is just a natural thing. Yes, death fascinates you, but there is no need to keep bringing it upon people about their own demise. You may see life as just a phase we go through before we die. You may even think of what your funeral will be like. You are not a depressed person, although that's a possibility. But yeah, you could be an outsider and have your own strange friends. Happy Halloween though, Bleak One.

Hi. Feeling quiet so far this week, but I should be blogging soon.

A headless skeleton! Wait a minute, you did not need that body to begin with. You are good and well off on your own. You can take care of yourself. You seem to be one who is 'detached' from society and doing what you think are good or right things. No, you are not one of those people who think that they can do whatever they want. You just do not follow 'everydayness' and common beliefs and norms. If you are not doing so now, you plan on living alone one day, away from everyone so that you can be at peace with yourself and surroundings. You do not dislike everyone. You only like to be in a serene atmosphere. Despite all of this, you still enjoy being in touch with close people. You are a different and interesting person, you are. Happy Halloween, Detached Figure.

Serena said...

Well, aren't we a motley crew, Roxan and Kan? A happy-happy pumpkin, a morbid crow, and a headless skeleton. LOL. Dang, Kan, I'd like to know how you answered those questions to score as a 3-percenter.:-)

Mona said...

LOL! @ that last para... I guess the teenage kids do that to people!

Its like a mutilation of the parent gone to extreme...

Anonymous said...

Love the Halloween jokes.
I'm confused about everything else.
The quiz was waaaaaaaay too long for my attention span.
What color siding?
tc

Serena said...

I think you hit the nail on the head, Mona.:)

LOL, TC. I've made up stories before using Words Gone Wild, but this time I apparently took it way off the wall.

I forgot to add any Halloween jokes yesterday, so I figured I'd better make up for it today.:)

The siding is charcoal gray.

Charles said...

Bad test. 2 & 4 didn't have appropriate answers, so I didn't choose any, so it blew up.

Serena said...

Bummer, Charles. That's bad mojo when quizzes blow up, go boom. Make good shark bait, though.:)

Charles said...

You're right, Chum.

Serena said...

Chum. Hardee-har-har-har.:-)

Little Lamb said...

That is one BIG shark.

Serena said...

He certainly is a big boy, Lamby. I'd probably have a heart attack just seeing that swim toward me.:)

Scary Monster said...

Me be thinkin that the real quiz be tryin to make heads or tails of the linguistics today.

STOMP.

Thar be a secrit mesege in der, write?

ThatGreenyFlower said...

I'm apparently a coffin. How merry.

Knock, knock. It definitely is not hollow in there. You have a strong mind of your own, and you are a protector of others. You think of them before yourself, and you make sure everything is okay around you. If you don't think that something is right, you will say so. You may tend to speak your mind a lot. You enjoy being there for the ones you care about, and as previously stated, you give them protection. Those are very good traits, but remember to think of yourself once in a while as well. Happy Halloween, Iron Shield.

I think that someone who spoke English as a second language wrote that one.

Corn Dog said...

That shark has a thyroid problem. He was from Destin too, place of calm waters where you let your baby play on the surf. That shark could pick its teeth with your baby.

And here I thought the Twisted Linguistics made perfect sense. Okay, I was laughing pretty hard. Maybe I used up all the oxygen for proper brain function.

Serena said...

I think there is a secret message in there, Scary, but I'm damned if I can figure out what it is.:-)

Greeny, I think these quizzes are made up by people in Rolfbeckastan sweat shops. Your coffin will fit in quite nicely with the rest of us, though.:-)

LOL, Corn Dog. Babies as shark toothpicks = not good image. I'm very glad you got the Linguistics lesson. I was beginning to wonder about myself -- and if I was the one who'd used up all the oxygen and didn't give my brain any.:-)
