Help Support Homesteading & Country Living Forum:
Sorry I'm a day late. Here are my Friday Five questions:
1: How fast have you driven in a car? About 145 MPH
2: How fast have you rode on a motorcycle? 125 MPH
3: Have you ever been SCUBA diving? A lot! FL Keys, every notable place in the Caribbean, and even The GBR in Australia!
4: Have you ever been snorkeling? Can't snorkel, I drown. Found it was much easier to bring your own air with you.
5: What was the longest you've ever gone without sleeping? 2-1/2 days, burning a cow that had anthrax.
Bonus question: When was the first time you played hooky from school? When I was in high school in Huntsville,AL, a bunch of us loaded up in a van and went to the docks to go swimming. Lots of great diving and cannonballs!We went back about 5th period, clothes still dropping wet, and obediently lined up at the assistant-principal's office for our 3-licks. With big grins on our face, we each told him that it was well worth the price of 3 licks!

I just answered in his quotes because I am too lazy to cut&paste.

10th grade seems to be the year. I think I was absent more than I was there, but I always got the assignments in. I studied for the GED that summer, took the HS proficiency test, passed, and never went back.
You people were all such good trustworthy students. By 10th grade I was years into my hoodlum stage.

in college
in highschool and before we were all good German kids and didn't skip school. But we did go to the bar across the street sometimes on our break and shoot pool ( no rules against that there) and one time we were mad at a teacher for making a test too hard ( there are no curves over there either) and stayed longer than the break. He came and got us LOL

I don't know people here that well. Can someone volunteer?
Sure. And, Al Gore wants to thank me for my love of large old gas guzzling vehicles.
I'll do it again. I had some extra questions I didn't ask last time.
TAG, YOU ARE IT!!
TAG, YOU ARE IT!!
My first question is going to be about these alleged bikini pics.

Dang it, didn’t see the bonus. Played sick a few times 8n elementary school, first time I did it without the parents knowing was junior year in high school with my girlfriend, in the effort to keep the forum rated PG…I’ll just say we studied some biology and anatomy together that day. I learned more than I would’ve had in class anyway…
1. 125 MPH
2. Cop saw a red blur. Probably 120 MPH, 1950 Candy Apple Red Indian.
3. No
4. No
6. 96 hours
Probably Sophmore in high school.
Now if you ask how many Military schools I have been kicked out of?
That's a whole different ball game.
You would have to come dig through the huge box of old pictures in the spare bedroom closet! I'm sure there are bikini pictures from 25+ years ago!
Stay tuned Friday Fivers! Questions will arrive this evening. But since it's not Friday all you will be able to do is ponder them deeply, reflect and offer up your best answers at 12:00am. Or you know, just answer them when I post 'em. Either way.
Disclaimer: I did not search back through all 1,404 posts to ensure these are not repeats. Roll with it and enjoy.
1. Think of a politician or celebrity you despise. What is one positive thing about them? I mean it, has to be positive and redeeming. No back handed compliments.
2. Name one anti-bucket list item. Something you experienced, possibly as a bucket list item, but in the end didn’t care for at all and never want to do again.
3. Imagine you opened a food truck in the area in which you reside. What type of cuisine would you sell and what would your specialty dish be?
4. What is your most controversial belief? Something that goes against the mainstream, maybe even the mainstream thinking of this very forum.
5. You are required to change you first name, but you get to select a new one. What would your new first name be?

Damn Marsh. These are tough. More thought required
Great questions though!!
I'm going for it......1) Ellen Degenerris ( can't spell his/her name) is really funny! A total a-hole, but genuinely funny!! 2) I don't do bucket lists! It's either going to happen or not! 3) Texas Mex, specialty= tongue tacos! 4) My controversial belief is that the government WILL take our land and everything we own! Don't bother prepping for more than weather events! 5) Laurel, it's the name my Mom originally picked out for me!!
Great questions need responses!!
Great Questions D. Really make you think.
1.) Robert DeNiro. A great actor who is seriously deranged about politics. He has ruined his reputation by running his mouth. If it is politicians I would include every Democrat that has been elected since 1992, but none of them have any redeeming values.
2.) Skiing. It wasn't a bucket list item, but I did it once and will never do it again.
3.) I would probably specialize in some of the novelty items we have here, but you can't get in other parts of the country.
4.) We are not a country of immigrants. We never have been. Early settlers were not immigrants they were explorers. There was not a country emigrate to. The highest the immigrant population has ever been was and still is today around 15%. We are Americans, born and raised here.
5.) Morgan. I have a vested interest, although, I would much rather change my last name than my first name.
