THE SPANISH INQUISITION CONCLUDES

Gentle Readers . . . and Maxwell,

Today we must conclude the Spanish Inquisition because I need to edit. For the first four parts of the inquisition, click HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE. Now here we go with # . . . 


36. Favorite food?

frosted sugar cookies

37. Place you want to visit?

England--I know I've said it before, but I must say it again: I want to wander the moors like the Bronte sisters and then die dramatically from tuberculosis. I also want to go to Heptonstall to visit Sylvia Plath's grave. I must pay homage to her.

38. Last place you were?

In bed with Willy Dunne Wooters. Really didn't want to get up. Not ever. But Franklin needs love and attention, too.

39.  Do you have a crush?

Johnny Depp

40. Last time you kissed someone?


I kissed Willy Dunne Wooters when he arrived yesterday. I might have kissed parts of him since then. I've definitely kissed Franklin, who kisses on command. 

41. Last time you were insulted?

Gosh, I don't know. Why would anyone insult me?

42. Favorite flavor of sweet?

frosted sugar cookies--especially at Christmas

43. What instruments do you play?

I used to play a pretty mean penis. I mean I'm a pianist. I also sing so beautifully that I call my voice "The Instrument." It has a life of its own.

44. Favorite piece of jewelry?

I had this silver cuff bracelet I got in The Hurricane's neighborhood (she lives in the Bay Area). It was stretchy and covered quite a bit of my arm. I loved it. People commented on it all the time. I wore it every day for a year or so. Then one morning I took it out of my jewelry box, and it fell apart. It's still sitting in the jewelry box, taunting me. I have another silver bracelet with gold stars on it. I like that a lot. I also like just about anything with diamonds.

45. Last sport you played?

Fetch Franklin's food.

46. Last song you sang?

You don't own me.
I'm not one of your many toys.
You don't own me.
Don't say I can't go with other boys.
AND DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO. AND DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO SAY. AND WHEN I GO OUT WITH YOU, DON'T PUT ME ON DISPLAY . . .
'cause you don't own me.

47. Favorite chat up line?

What is a chat up line? I usually tell people they don't know how to speak English. Then they stare at me like I'm crazy, and I realize I should speak Spanish with them because they really don't know English.

48. Have you ever used it?


Spanish? Yeah, sure. Sometimes I speak French instead, but I have to be careful because The Hurricane told me not to speak French because my accent is terrible. I always obey The Hurricane because she's a killer. Did you notice what she did to New Orleans? They still haven't recovered.

49.  Last time you hung out with anyone?


I'm hanging out with the Wooters man and Franklin right now. Carol and I went out to lunch last week. This week we're going to have afternoon tea near the beach, and we'll attend a showing of Glory because it's the 25th anniversary of its release. Looks as if I hang quite a bit for a recluse.

50. Who should answer these questions next?

The Silver Fox at The Lair of the Silver Fox is quite a raconteur (read liar). I think he should answer these questions. What about the boys at A Beer For The Shower? They're quite amusing. Oh, yes, and Kianwi at kinley dane.

You might want to go to Andi's blog, delusions of ingenuity, to get the questions because she has all of them in one post instead of breaking them up into twenty posts the way I did.

I must say that as I tap away on my laptop that WDW is staring at the desktop computer because he's enlarged the drawing of me as a Pickleope (see HERE). WDW has discovered that the cartoon is quite pornographic. He can't get enough of it. God help me. Please. 


Infinities of love,

Janie Junebug

  4. Sugar cookies is an interesting answer for favorite food, I think it says a lot about you (in a good way). For someone who used to "play a pretty mean penis," I hardly see how my humble little tribute to you is at all pornographic. I'm glad that you and Willy Dunne Wooters like it...well, I guess I don't know if you like it, but I'm glad the W-D-W enjoys it.
    Good job getting through that whole list.

  5. Hello, dear Janie Junebug!

    It's me, Shecky Shady, the frosted sugar cookie of blogging.
    (BA-DUM-BUMP)

    #37 - I want to visit the loo without further ado.
    (BA-DUM-BUMP)

    #38 - I had a similar experience. I was in bed with Lilly Dunne Hooters. Really didn't want to get up. Not ever. Unfortunately my time expired so I tossed a Franklin, a Lincoln and a Jackson on the night stand and left.
    (BA-DUM-BUMP)

    #43 - Ever hum a few bars?
    (BA-DUM-BUMP)

    #46 - That's one of my favorite oldies.
    Am I one of your favorite oldies?
    (BA-DUM-BUMP)

    #47 - I'm in the process of learning English
    as a second language.
    (BA-DUM-BUMP)

    #48 - Do you speak Bacharach?
    It's the language of love, baby - YEAH!!!
    (BA-DUM-BUMP)

    Happy Monday, dear Janie!

    1. If you see me walkin' down the street, and I start to cry, each time we meet. Gimme some dimes. I won't commit more crimes.

      You see this girl. This girl's in love with you. Yes, I'm in love, that's why I speak to you in Francais, too.

      The moment I wake up before I put on my make-up, I say a little prayer for Cherdo.

      I would like to have Shecky and Cherdo cookie cutters for Christmas.

  7. I love Leslie Gore! The lesbian version of that song is the same except for the line "Don't tell me I can't go without the boys."

    1. Oh, I like that. Knowing she is a lesbian gives that song extra meaning.

  11. That's fascinating, because I'd rather go out like Sylvia Plath. My oven's big enough for three if you feel like joining us.

    Oh no, we have to answer these now, too? Can I take the easy way out and say that "violence" is our answer for all 50 questions? Because to us violence is the answer to everything.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I appreciate the offer. I'll consider it, but I've wanted to go out like a Bronte for quite some time. There's all that being sick and miserable before the last cough. Of course, Sylvia Plath had a lot of being sick and miserable before the oven. Yes, you do have to answer these, and violence is not the answer to anything.

      Delete
  12. Hi Janie - well those 50 things unloaded a few interesting ideas into the blogosphere ... and England is definitely a place to visit ... Heptonstall has lots of history .. though Plath's is a desperately sad life ...

    Cheers ... Hilary

    1. Yes, her life was sad, but look at the beauty she managed to create. In thirty short years, she did more than I'll do by the time I'm ninety.

    1. I've given up chocolate for the duration. I don't have any of that dark, bitter chocolate from Europe.

  15. Your answers are hilarious! Regarding the Brontë homeland, I once had the chance to pass a sign in Northern Ireland that pointed to their patrimony. I squealed and immediately wanted to hurl myself out of the Éirann bus. Sadly, I didn't.

    1. I'm so sorry you missed your opportunity to jump from the bus. Perhaps I'll get to do it in your stead someday.

  16. Oh, my...hmmm, is this really a gift?? Ha ha :) Okey dokey, I'll have to start thinking about all those answers!

    I completely agree about sugar cookies. And now I'm craving them! I hope to abstain until Christmas time, though.

    1. Oh, and also, I LOVED that picture by Pickleope, but I promise I didn't think anything pornographic about it :)

      Thanks again for including me!

    2. You'll have great answers to the questions. It provides you with an opportunity to show off your creativity.

  17. You really should stay away from mean penises...if you're going to play with one- make sure it's a nice one.

    Love Sylvia Plath. The Bell Jar is in my top ten book faves.

    Replies
    1. I'll try to stick to happy penises. I'm not that in love with The Bell Jar. It's Plath's poetry that gets me.

    1. I eat more broccoli than sugar cookies. Eat your vegetables, and then have a cookie for a snack. One cookie with a glass of skim milk.

  20. Dear Janie, I had two Halloween sugar cookies, one iced with orange frostings and the other with white that had orange and black sprinkles on it. I hadn't had sugar cookies in years and had forgotten just how soft and delicious they are. Then the next day, the food section of the Kansas City Star newspaper featured a sugar cookie recipe. So I cut it out and I'm going to make some for Christmas! Peace.

  21. GREAT answers! I visited England in 2006 and it certainly is fun. Go for it! The plane tickets are SO expensive, though. I think I paid $600 for mine and now it's over $1,000!!!

    1. I don't have a thousand dollars sitting around, so I don't think that trip will happen soon.

  22. I'm so glad you say a little prayer for Cherdo before you wake up - she needs all the prayer she can get.

    Also, if you get a Cherdo cookie cutter, it will be a plus-sized cookie. Nothing wrong with that from the standpoint of a cookie lover. The Shady cookie cutter will be funny...just plan funny.

  26. I accept the challenge. I shall split my answers into several posts, as you did, for my readers' sakes more than my own.

  27. What song is that? You probably answered it in the comments already but I just skipped down here after reading your post.

    Also, thank you for not tagging me to answer questions. That's far too many questions.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I know you don't have time for fifty questions. The song is You Don't Own Me, written and sung by Lesley Gore in 1964. It's an early feminist anthem.

  29. Okay, I'm laughing so hard! #43 & #48 . . . hee hee hee

    I'd like to go to England . . . can you sneak me in your luggage? No? Okay, it was worth the risk to ask. Calling your voice "The Instrument" is genius, I wish I'd thought of that, but mine is so broken it wouldn't even qualify. :-/

    1. If I could afford to go, I would definitely add you to my luggage. I've heard some opera singers call their voices their "instrument," so why not me?
