Now for my question: How does one find out who won? I didn't see the winners for last month.


[color="#800080"][/color]

Hiya Jeanie. In answer to your question. The winners are posted in the specific thread to which their response won. The person who supplies the question picks the winners and posts names. Then you pm you address to the person who is responsible for the prizes. Sometimes we do Fun Fridays just for fun with no winners.

So on Wednesday January 9, 2008 I will post who I pick as the 2 winners and tag the next neighbor for the next Fun Friday Question. Thanks for playing. I loved your answer!

YOU SCARE ME!

The fun friday's lately require too much thinking...HOMEY DON'T WANNA PLAY THAT! lol..

I'm on BRAIN OVERLOAD and have been. I hope 2008 will be better! CALGON TAKE ME AWAY!

yes, these words are coming out of SUNSHINE'S mouth! lol...

Okay... sorry Twinlet. I thought this would be fun.

If you want to think, answer my original question. If you don't want to think, answer the question found below. Or you can choose door number 3 and answer both questions.

Answers must be PG!!!

New Question - If the Wicked Witch of the West melts in water... how did she ever bathe?


I think she used alcohol based Wet Naps!

She didn't bathe. She was a stinky old witch!

NO THINKING!!

FEBREEZE? lol..

The movie question is pretty ambitious for a Friday. Dang... I can get behind the witch question though because I've gone to Alaska on the Green Tortoise, so I know how she did it! She lived on whiskey and smudged with pot smoke every night around the campfire with the twenty-somethings who played guitar and sang Kumbaya... BTDT. This was pre-flying monkey days, of course...

Try as I might, I can't wrap my brain around such a complicated question. My life is a soap opera, not a major musical! I am the typical diva anti-heroine of any soap you would like to mention. So much so that I don't watch them!

As for the witch, she just tweaked her nose and she was clean. After all, she was a witch wasn't she?

Great answer, Celadon! Afterall, she was a witch!

The movie title has already been used, DRAT! But here is it.......

Title: As Good As It Gets
Starring:
Me (as me) or Shirley McClain would do
Hubby (as hubby)
Daughter (as herself)
Son (as himself) Ryan Stiles is his stunt Double/ spot on

Plot revolves around a likeable, bumbling family who spin their wheels
trying to be "good enough" until they discover they already ARE! This is
as Good as it Gets... So Live and Enjoy!!!!

"Choosing to Live"
A Drama along the lines of "The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood" and "Girl Interrupted."
The plot focuses how I have overcome the many the trials in my life.
Written by Michael Crichton
Directed by Frank Darabont
Staring:
Winona Rider as Myself
Johnny Depp as my husband, Matt
Daniel Radcliffe as my son, Alex
Dakota Fanning as my daughter, Meghan

Mickeefynn...I TOTALLY can see you being played by Shirley!!! That is so darned perfect.

I haven't spent much time thinking about this, but my first inclination would be to call it:
"My Mother Means Well"

I'd be played by either Margaret Cho (too easy), Jennifer Tilly (but she'd have to get smart and less bimbo) or Catherine Zeta-Jones...I just think she's a freaking Goddess...she'd have to cut off her hair and lose the accent, but it would be fun to watch!

my Mom would play the role of herself...really, nobody else could do her justice

It would be a two person show. Just me and her...and it would be hysterical. Songs performed by her would include:
"Such a pretty face"
"Don't die alone"
"You're too picky"
"More lipstick"
"Don't eat too much"
"How come you don't call me"

Songs by me:
"Okay...gotta go now"
"I'm not gonna settle"
"He's too OLD!"
"My lipstick is fine"
"Stay out of my plate"
"Pour me another"

Good times...

Every response has me laughing!

I will be picking 2 winners tomorrow and tagging a neighbor for friday's question. So, anyone else going to get in on this before it closes? it is going to be hard for we to choose winners as these are all so good.

Duh... the wicked witch douses herself with "witch hazel" then uses a sand blaster to get rid of the filth!

Thanks to all who played this week. I picked my winners.


BeJean - you win for not just making me laugh, but for answering both of my presented questions

Kim - because your answer had me LMAO


Winners need to pm their address to Celadon! Don't post your address for safety/ privacy reasons!


And I tag, mickeefynn for the next Fun Friday Question. Mickee, please pm your question to myself & Kaye by Thursday night (Jan. 10) so that is can be posted Friday morning (Jan. 11)

This is fun! I never win anything. I WON!
Guess it pays to have rednecks for relatives!
