Now that there's a chill in the air (and I've had to scrape ice off my windshield once), I'm thinking about Winter. That means -- yes, you guessed it -- I'll be asking you stuff about Winter today. Bundle up and get ready to answer the Interrogation.
1. What's your favorite cold-weather food?
2. What's your favorite Winter activity?
3. What's the average annual snowfall where you live?
4. Do you shovel your own sidewalks/driveway?
5. What does your Winter coat look like this year?
7. What's your favorite beverage on a cold Winter night?
8. What temperature do you keep your thermostat on in the Winter?
9. Do you have a fireplace? And if so, do you use it?
10. Do you ski, ice skate, or participate in other Winter sports?
And now, if you please, I'd love it if you'd write a little Winter limerick for me.
TWISTED LINGUISTICS would appreciate it if you could interpret these blasfomys.

The little Winter limerick:
When storms bearing snow are approaching
And chill in your bones is encroaching
The way to remain
Free of winter’s cold pain
Is to in the hot cider go poaching.
And the blasfomys (well, all but two of them, anyhow):
substaintial – very stained.
I have drove him nuts – with my abysmal command of grammar.
bulemia – Italian for “my bule.”
idot – Apple’s new music player for idiots.
sociaist – an individual who was once a socialist, but decided to get the l out of it.
whom really cares – not meem.
desent – a small coin, five of which constitute denickel and ten, dedime.

No, I have one of the neighborhood kids do it. Then when he's done, I remind him that the free candy he got from me last Halloween was a prepayment.

Being a pug, I'm going with fur again this year, despite the usual expected outrage by animal rights activists.

A powershake. It impresses the ladies.

72-degrees when alone / 32-degrees when company attempts to visit.

Yes. In fact, I'm using it right now as a "poor CEO's shredder".

I bobsled down crowded ski runs. I enjoy the heightened sense of unpredictability that you just can't get from running in the tubes.

Clam chowder

Bwahahaha

No, it’s a gas fireplace insert and I will probably only use it 5 or 6 times all winter
10. Do you ski, ice skate, or participate in other Winter sports?
I ski all winter long. I use these really short skis without poles though. I ice skated all the time from age 11 through 22 but inline skating came to be and I switched. Now I just take the kids once during Christmas time. I go snow shoeing a couple of times every winter.
Winter Limerick:
Oh great, the weather’s getting nippy
All I can see is “wow, yippy”
Trudging through rain
Again and again
I really could very well skippy
I like chili on cold nights, too, Bilbo; as long as it isn't too spicy. Excellent limerick, sir. And once again, you've knocked yourself out with the blasfomys.:)
Pugs have a whole different take on Winter, don't they, Puggy? LOL. At least you don't have to buy a coat, though. Let's just pray you don't get mange.:)
I like clam chowder, too, VE. Sex does indeed keep the blood pumping in cold weather. Just avoid Puggy's frigid surf when in the mood.:-)

Shery's Questions are an eclectic mix
On subjects from politics to Flix
But sometimes she hurries
And her vision gets blurry
And she forgets to add number six!!
xo
....and I do know how to spell your name Sarina!
Oh, geez, Galen, I did forget to put a 6 in there, didn't I? Well, you knew I was mathematically challenged. I've had Tim Horton's coffee, and tea. It's wonderful! Thank you for the limerick, my dear, even if it did memorialize one of my little fugue states.:)
