[Ash600]

1) When did something start out badly for you but in the end, it was great?
Went into work once, had a power cut after the first hour. It was during the middle of winter and fucking damn freezing. However, a cafe nearby took pity and supplied us with cups of coffee and bacon rolls, steak sandwiches during the course of the day free of charge.

Elephant?

Seen quite a few at work over the years. Epic one was some fucktard throwing a strop over a cup of tea and then grabbing their coat and fucking off out of it, never to be seen or heard of again.

 

[Auri]

1) When did something start out badly for you but in the end, it was great?
Me living in Sweden. It was truly a mess a year prior to that until the first days I got there (issues with the organization, my university's secretary, finding a accommodation, DEPRESSION, etc.), but in the end it was the best time of my life.

2) What animal would be cutest if scaled down to the size of a cat?
An elephant.

3) If you could switch two movie characters, what switch would lead to the most inappropriate movies?
Inappropriate? I have ideas, but they would be INAPPROPRIATE. :P So I'll stay reasonable, and put Shrek as Johnny from Dirty Dancing.

4) Where are some unusual places you’ve been?
I'm not sure... Perhaps the Church of Bones in Milan. (They're all real, and it's a Christian chapel, just to be clear, lol.)

I can't think of anything for the last three questions, but if I do, I'll come back.

Have all a beautiful day. ♡

Waking up to no food, then finding something in the very back of the pantry and having a very satisfying breakfast

2) What animal would be cutest if scaled down to the size of a cat?
Giraffe

3) If you could switch two movie characters, what switch would lead to the most inappropriate movies?
Not a movie guy

4) Where are some unusual places you’ve been?
In my old house, I went into the backyard that had a long, hallway esk path, 1-2 feet wide, that had the back of the house on my right, and a crooked fence with a gap that led into swamp water, and while passing was always scared out of my mind of falling in due to the lack of area

Not known

Cooked insects/"exotic"

N/A
- Extended
8. Do you find paintings that are nothing but a splash of paint, a few lines, etc. that gets sold for millions weird?
Actual paintings, no, but that a collector deems a painting of that worthiness is very weird to me.

9. If you could rename our planet, what would be the new name be?
Hard one, I'd have to come back to it.

10. Whales or sharks?
Whales, less mean looking, but still would give me a heart attack if in the water and saw one.

11. If you could go to the moon but would not be able to come back unless you find aliens there, would you go there? You would get unlimited supply of food and oxygen for life on the moon.
I couldn't live with the lack of internet, hobbies, or other distractions, so no.

12. Do you find the baby in the Sun in Teletubbies creepy?
Now that I looked up an image online, it seems very much so, such a... plotting face.

7) What’s the most epic way you’ve seen someone quit or be fired?
My dad quit his job as a ...I think he was a guard, at a college, because there were "f*gs" there. He threw keys at them (apparently) then came home and ranted about it. Great defence. TBH, I think he was just lazy, lol. Epic fail.

 

[Auri]

Our country's cave.

I've been there too, when I was maybe 18 or 19. It's a really gorgeous place! (It"s the only thing I've seen in your country, but it's a beautiful one ^^)

[StrangeRanger]

Good morning & thank you for the tag/ invite to the cafe Kim 💜 Hope everyones having an astounding day! Lets see now x3

Today's theme to answer the following questions...

1) When did something start out badly for you but in the end, it was great?

My 21st birthday last year, I planned to just stay home with my birthday bad luck but my bf forced me to go get dinner, honestly, best birthday every, he was quite a dear that day! Had some of the best food. Something he did did upset me that day but he made up for it a little.

2) What animal would be cutest if scaled down to the size of a cat?

Hmmmm idk theres quite a number, butttt cant not think about pocket foxes hahaha

3) If you could switch two movie characters, what switch would lead to the most inappropriate movies?

Now this is a toughie... I dont have two movies characters but just picture any overly serious role given to Gilbert Godfrey lmao

4) Where are some unusual places you’ve been?

Unusual? Not many. My town does have a cemetary with a such thing called the fairy steps though, theyre behind a big crypt & a dirt path. Its nice walking around up there, the catch is, its hard to count the exact amount of steps going up & down, almost like an illusion. They are simply whimsical, Ill try to find a decent picture.

5) What’s something you really resent paying for?

Lots of gifts taken for granted by others in all honesty. Mainly things for my exes but even with my bf, I regret getting him things he will never wear or use, & hes very blatant about it liking stuff...

6) What food have you never eaten but would really like to try?

Weirdly, been curious about poutine.

7) What’s the most epic way you’ve seen someone quit or be fired?

Never ever watched some one get fired/quit epically. Everytime its either been ridiculous, sad or hilarious though.. knew a guy who worked with me at a burger joint, one day he did LSD in the work bathroom, the only reason we knew was because he made a video during so. After an hour, a manager of mine knewwwww something was up & knew what was going on because the guy couldnt stay grilling burgers. Instead of immediately firing, my manager decided to mess with him, like would whisper in his ear n such, talk about things that were very much not there, his face was PRICELESSS. It was soo obvious what was going on. Lol Ik its not professional but gives me a chuckle to think about ,still surprised how chill my manager was about it. There is another story butttt I dont want to be too chitter chattery plus its a bit more crazy in a sense 😁

Aww that sounds fascinating, I want to see it.

 

[StrangeRanger]

Aww that sounds fascinating, I want to see it.

I couldnt find a good photo but I found a few that give a good idea! Seeing it in person is probably the best perspective though, the steps zig & zag, go down the hill all the way to the river thats below & theres so many... its a nice area! Shame not a lot appreciate it though

 

[Baywasp]

Thanks for the tag @BlackOpium
A food I've always wanted to try is lemon meringue pie. Ever since I saw it in the book Amelia Bedelia as a kid. They made it sound so amazing. I think my mom doesn't like meringue very much or something IIRC. It kinda strikes me as odd otherwise that I would never have tried it as a kid because a lemony pie sounds right up her alley. I need to find a way to try it now in adulthood because I see it on cooking shows and it still looks really good.



Here's Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, Amelia Bedelia's employers, trying her lemon meringue pie for the first time. It's so good they can't be mad at her anymore.

 

[Innocent Forever]

My head is throbbing but just took a couple painkillers which only thought of doing now.

I don't know most the answers! I dislike paying for some necessities coz I feel like we shouldn't need to be paying for such things, but then again that's the way of the world and I probably can't change it. If I could I'd make it so that everyone did what they could and it worked in trade. Builders build for everyone. People fly. Hotels etc. Everyone would have access to everything whilst doing their best for society and obviously some people are better at things then others. We'd be a large happy family who accept love and respect each other.

Happy Wednesday! And chag sameach to those celebrating @DowntheRabbitHole @charlietgirl @Gonz @extraterrestrialone @AFlower
It's hurting me to think so not tagging more...
Happy passover/pesach.
Pesach is a time of freedom. Whether or not you celebrate this time, I'm wishing you all freedom from the internal and external shackles that stop you living the life of your dreams.
You are worth it!
Love, light, and glitter

1) When did something start out badly for you but in the end, it was great?

I tested positive on one of those home poop tests which can show colon cancer but false readings are fairly common with polyps. I just had polyps, no cancer when I had a colonoscopy. I did request mood music when they were putting me under...Dueling Banjos. When they woke me up I asked if they located my brain, they hadn't so all worked out fine.

2) What animal would be cutest if scaled down to the size of a cat?

A bear.

3) If you could switch two movie characters, what switch would lead to the most inappropriate movies?

Eddie Deezen famous for geek roles in movies like Wargames with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Terminator. Eddie Deezen.

4) Where are some unusual places you’ve been?

I was at a whorehouse once or so I was told. When my mother was very pregnant with me her and my dad were at a combination bar, restaurant and cat house in Mexico. So I brag that I was a very young man the first time I was around hookers. LOL

5) What’s something you really resent paying for?

What don't I resent paying for?

6) What food have you never eaten but would really like to try?

Haggis.

7) What’s the most epic way you’ve seen someone quit or be fired?

Nothing epic so far, but I am hopeful.
