I want to know about something random. I want an answer. Seriously and at face value.

Kevin, Bun, Clark. In that order. I want you to answer my question.

Anyone can ask. All three can answer,one can answer, all three might be off doing something else for a while. Wha'ever. You can ask anything you want. TCpedia style


Question one:
What do you think is the best type of plant I should buy for my sunny front window?


Question two:
What do you think about the album "some girls"?
Sub-question:
What do you think about Mick Jagger's solo stuff?

Question three:
I can suddenly now teach Leah stuff. She catches on fast. She now drinks from a sippy cup 95% of the time. What else should I teach her to do?

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments 1) herbs. rosemary, cilantro maybe dill. you can have a very nice practical windowsill herb garden that you can do with leah even as she is still so young. a great teaching tool for kids.

2) easy. hate it. i can't stand the stones. can't stand jagger's voice. do NOT think KR was "one of the greatest guitar players" and don't even think the songs were that well written. they suck. if angie is playing on one radio channel and two cats are fighting on the other i'll choose the cats. at least one of them is leaving a winner.

2b) suck. the. big. one.

3) nothing. she is already 2 clicks away from independence. tie a rock on her head so she doesn't grow. play no enriching music. take away any educational toys. hold her as much as she'll let you. the time between red wagons and leaving for college is but a moment. don't rush anything. just kidding. kind of. but when they learn to finally tie their shoes is a bittersweet moment.

ah...what the heck. teach her to sing lyrics to kooky songs on cue. you say:

you: "i met him on a monday and my heart stood still..."
leah: "doo doo doo ron ron"

that is what we did with our kids. it's adorable

I love this... when some friends of mine were teaching their kid animal noises, they taught her that a walrus says koo-koo-kachoo.

This thread was a silly, hard lemonaide inspired idea. We already have the kevin/Clark thread and I ask Bun stuff all the time. Thanks for the good thick answer, K. I'm gonna close it. K?

message 18: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 13814 comments While you wait for Bun can I say that I had friends who taught their kid to repeat the second choice when given two choices. Then they'd ask him complicated questions about stocks or politics, always with two choices and always with the one they wanted him to say last.

"Zander, do you prefer stocks that are low risk or high risk?"

"Zander, who do you think will win the primary, X or Y?"

Etc...

That is interesting, pi. It reminds me of a technique my professor taught me for when im having an off day and i just don't follow a thing a student says, she taught me to just repeat their last words with a thoughtful nod and a serious expression.


message 20: by [deleted user] (new)

1) You may as well ask me about splitting protons. I know how to cut, fertilize and water grass. Beyone that, nothing.

2a) If you listen to anything the Stones have come up with since “Some Girls,” it’s obvious they’re a good 33 years past their sell-by date and need to stop embarrassing themselves and their families and go off somewhere and count their money. There’s a few misfires on “Some Girls,” but “When the Whip Comes Down” and “Respectable” more than make up for them. “I was gay in New York/Which is a fag in L.A” – genius, right?

2b) Putting Mick Jagger in front of a mic with a bunch of studio hacks watching his backside only encourages him, which is never a good idea. It’s like taking Godzilla out of Tokyo Harbor and dropping him into the middle of midtown Manhattan – nothing good can come of it.

3) Teach her to associate the words, “Go get me a beer” with the fridge and those brown and green bottles inside and the difference between twist-off caps and those that require an opener. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

(Yeah yeah whatever twss), I taught my nephew and neice to do that so when we went for wilderness walks or into the vegetable garden they weren't trying to poison themselves with berries and mushrooms but they weren't afraid to eat things that were actually edible."

"I" before "e" except (yadda, yadda, yadda).

Phil | 11837 comments Just remember that your niece is nice (the 'i' following the 'n').

Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
Oh GOD Clark. Your answer 2b is so very divine.


I like to imagine Mick Jagger as a very gorgeous, very small man. I hear he was a big admirer of Prince, and is actually responsible for the little purple man's first show.

Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments I love Kevin's answers, although I like the Stones. Especially "Miss You." The rest of Some Girls I can live without.

They've all answered now.


message 30: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) So is that it?


message 31: by Sally, la reina (new)

Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
Yes. I need to think of a new question I want all three perspectives on.

I'm trying to think of a theme for yoga. I'm dancing around the idea of negative self-talk. Either that or some sort of meditation on breath. Any ideas, guys?

Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
Really? You've never been to a class where the teacher talks you through visualizations?


message 33: by Sally, la reina (new)

Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
Ah. I love going to classes and getting adjusted. I think I would do the poses incorrectly otherwise.


message 34: by Heidi (new)

Heidi (heidihooo) | 10825 comments Pilates.

Sally, you could always ask them if they've ever incorporated yoga into real life situations... maybe? Or something like that?


message 35: by Rachel (new)

Rachel | 1106 comments Oh Bun, my parents conditioned me to do number 3 so well that I don't eat anything around the house without asking first, even if it's something everyone knows to be harmless, like chocolates or snacks. And if they are out, I call.

Sarah | 13814 comments Barb wrote: "They don't offer straight up yoga at my gym ... the fuckers. Only "Bodyflow", which is a combination of yoga, tai chi and something else I can't remember at the moment. I'm considering trying it ..."

I've seen bodyflow, and there's something about it that bothers me. I think it's that you're kind of passing through yoga positions but without any check that everything is in alignment.

Ok.

What's the deal with OxyClean? Should I use it? Why do people like it?

How is a song called "Bananas and Blow" allowed on the radio?

Why do babies put every single thing they touch in their mouths?


message 38: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments oxyclean sounds delightful. like a breath of fresh sanitization. try it.

bananas and blow? the ween song? who listens to ween anywho?

she is hungry. feed her mama. just kidding, i dunno. oral fixation? just keep stuff off the floor and away from her that is dirty and gross.


message 39: by Sally, la reina (new)

Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
Ok.

Define "dirty and gross" because keeping stuff off the floor and away from her is a never ending job.

Sweeter listens to Ween. So does this student DJ on KCSU, so it would seem.

I'm concerned about OxyClean overcleaning my clothes, to the point that they disintegrate.

Now I want to know what was the first album each one of you first purchased, do you still own it, and would you still like it?

Listens to ween (rhymes with peen (hehehe)) and would vote for trump? What's up with this sweeter person?


message 42: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments first album - KISS Alive - yes, i would still like it. i have told my son that KISS was huge when i was younger. they were indeed the hottest band in the land. alas, after this release they started their slow drop from awesome to goofy

"Alive" is worth the price of admission for Paul Stanley's song intros alone:

"I was talking to somebody backstage before, and he said there's a lot of you people that like to drink vodka and orange juice."

You could've fooled me based on the gauntlet of drug dealers we had to run outside Cobo Hall that night.

They jumped the shark but I still can't decide if the exact moment was the simultaneous release of the solo albums or the shameless pandering to the pre-pube market that was "Love Gun." Regardless, they were done like dinner.

ms.petra (mspetra) I also use Oxy/Oxi products. I don't think anything could eat through the industrial poly blend of my uniforms, but I also use it on my regular laundry and haven't had any problems.
