Welcome to The Queen's Meme #57.
We're talking THREES. Answer these questions all having to do with the number 3. I predict this meme will take about 3 minutes to do.
Of course I could be wrong.
It's been known to happen.
And watch out! Question #3 is a doozy.

3. Where were you 3 hours ago? In my office slaving over a hot compouter. Now I'm at home slaving over a hot computer,


3. Is there anything pink within 3 feet of you? My body is!


3. Name the 3 scariest places in the world. The local gangland area about 5 miles away, North Korea and my office.


3. Name the 3 loveliest sights you've seen lately. I can't be too specific as they are all women.


3. Name the top 3 Bands in the year you were born. Did cavemen have bands? Seroisly, the year of my birth was a very boring year as far as music was concerned. Wish it was something like 1967. Now that was a super music year.


3. Walk to your front door. Go outside and get in your car. Drive 3 miles East. Describe 3 things you saw on your way. Now which way is East?. Am I supposed to have a compass? I might go straight into a building.


3. I, Queen Mimi, have sentenced you to a 3-day diet of your most sinful cravings.
What will you be partaking? Mature cheese, hot diogs and lasagna...not all together though.

3. Go back to question #3. Change the first word to "travel" and let me know if you survived.
I'll hold a room for you in the dungeon in the meantime. Well I went to one of them today (my office). I only just survived that one.


3. If you are the 3rd person to do this meme and sign the Mr. Linky as #3 you win a prize! The prize is you don't have to do this meme. Oops. **Don't you know you should always read all the instructions/questions FIRST??**

The Queen's Meme #56 - The Numbers Meme

Mimi of The Queen's Meme has sent this in....

Welcome To The Queen's Meme #56 ~
It's a Numbers Game


Today we will discuss the fascinatingly cerebral subject of numbers.
I must warn you...the questions are excruciatingly difficult. Only the strongest will survive, thereby dodging the dreaded dungeon.
Alliteration! See, I told you I was cerebral.


**and no calculators**!!


1. Do you ever play the lottery? If so, what are your lucky numbers? Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. As I don't play the lottery, I'm richer than others every week as I don't buy tickets!


2. Did you do something special on 10/10/10 yesterday? I heard that lots of people got married. Are all of you still the same status as of today? It's the time when the US and British date indicators are rthe same. It's supposed to be a lucky day. For some of those couples, it may turn out not to be.


3. "I've got your number!" Who would you like to say that to or who is the last person you said that to? I'd like to say it to that gorgeous girl in the office!


4. How many sheep do you count before you fall asleep? Counting sheep? They always fall over the fence when I try that.

5. It's almost birthday time for the Queen. Do you believe that age is "just a number"....or is it something else more insidious and frightening???!!! **I am suddenly having a panic attack**  In many countries, Elders are revered for their great intelligence, so just tell people that you have become wiser.

6. How many zeros are in a trillion? Just look at the national deficit and count it.

7. How many sixteenth notes does it take to equal a whole note?  Is this a trick question? I would say 16.


8. (because I can) How many 8 balls are on a pool table? As many as you want to put on.

The Queen's Meme #55 - The Falling Meme

Mimi of The Queen's Meme has sent this in....

Welcome to The Queen's Meme #55
It's All About Falling

Falling up, falling down, falling right, falling left, falling in love, falling out, falling hard, falling easy, falling loud, falling soft, falling. Got that? Falling.
I seem to be in a very bad evil Queen mood today and have devised some lame questions for you. Got that? Lame. L.A.M.E.
Let's play.


1. What is your favorite part about the Fall season? The best part, besides the changing tree colours is that it's not too hot or cold. I'm not going to be sweated out or freeze.

2. When was the last time you fell in love? I can't remember that. I think the Crimean War had started!

3. Have you ever injured yourself falling down? No, I injure myself when I hit the ground.

4. Imagine that your head is on the guillotine block and the blade is about to fall on your head. What is your last thought?  Did I remember to cancel the papers?

5. Do pumpkins scare you? Only when they come out in the dark and mug me.

6. You are free-falling from the sky to Earth. It has taken you 3 days to fall from the galaxy and you are hungry. Where do you land?  On a very soft mattress.


7. I found this painting by John Everett Millais: Autumn Leaves
(1856) It struck me totally funny. Look at their faces. What are they saying?  "Has anyone seen the dog?"
What is going on??!

**Yes, I know these questions are tres weird but that is what I do.
Deal with it.**

And the first person to put a picture of a Jack-O-Lantern on their blog for this meme is in the dungeon. Jack-O-Lanterns are from the devil!!!
Have a nice day.

The Queen's Meme #54 - The Funny Word Meme

Mimi of The Queen's Meme has sent this in....

Welcome to the Queen's Meme #54

We are going for the funny bone today. Ouch. I hate it when that happens. Technically speaking that is the ulnar nerve. Definition: The ulnar nerve originates from the C8-T1 nerve roots which form part of the medial cord of the brachial plexus, and descends on the posteromedial aspect of the humerus.
I told you this meme was humorous!

Confession: I stole this idea from Jamie at Duward Discussion. She used British and Australian slang words recently in a challenge to her readers. I found a site today called Inherently Funny and decided to do the same with words that sound ridiculously humorous when you pronounce them....IF you can pronounce them.
I have given you 8 funny sounding words. You have to supply a definition without looking at the website or dictionary first. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Let's get started.

1. diphthong  I know dipthong is to do with speech and pronunciation, but I prefer to think of it as edible underwear

2. Houp-doup This is a mystery, but it sounds like a technique basketball players might use.

3. Skullduggery This is mischief, but I like it to be the place where pirates have buruied their treasure.

4. reintarnation Intarnation done a second time?

5. glom          Perhaps the opposite of glum?

6. gobsmacked I know this, as it's a British word meaning amazed. Gob means mouth, if you didn't know.

7. assmosis Perhaps an illness your pet donkey has?

8. lugubrious Another word I know, a British one that means long-winded.

And trust me, I will know if you look in the dictionary.
