good idea. the question of the hour is:

excuse me frieda but the second one is serious

I admit: I don't know what Taters is :( and that's just because I'm atm a place whose name is etymologically related with Gollum (actually I think his parents' hole is somewhere close-bye) and before I can leave this place it is to late to answer your ^^question :(
But as to your ^question:

Berries and tea

(You forgot your teatime with all your asking questions, eh?)

worse than that i missed my train

The Case of Berries and the Missed Train

berries and summer wine

^^See!! But now you can ask one, two, three more till the next one is due ;)

whatstatersaye

This is the epitome of taters and is also probably nsf some people's w.


And berries is for bears and Sal.

that one's mine, actually. we're both endlessly amused by the artistic medium of animated gifs.

i'm going to ask the next ¿ question of the hour ?

what was your favorite childhood book(s)?

fox

knox in box

fox in socks, on knox, on box

...

if sir, you, sir, choose to chew sir, with the goo-goose, chew sir, do sir!

...

through three cheese trees, three free fleas flew.
while these fleas flew, freezy breeze blew
freezy breeze made these three trees freeze
freezy trees made these trees' cheese freeze
that's what made these three free fleas sneeze.

(quoted from memory)
(I've been off-book since I was 4)

Sob! That one!! Blueberries For Sal.

I loved many many books (Snowy Day, yes yes), but my favorites, the ones I read until the spines cracked and the pages fell out in heaps....Roald Dahl. Most especially James and the Giant Peach.

The movie distressed me greatly.

too many favourites to choose one, but the first proper book with chapters & everything that i can remember deriving enormous satisfaction from reading end-to-end was peter pan - the story of peter and wendy - a seemingly-ancient edition i'd found in my house, it had a dozen beautiful, tissuepaper-protected illustrations all of which i can still see in hi-rez when i close my eyes.

i also need to give credit to "the magic pot" by patricia coombs and "mouse trouble" by john yeoman.

astrid lindgren - de gebroeders leeuwenhart (bröderna lejonhjärta)

thea beckman - kruistocht in spijkerbroek & kinderen van moeder aarde

-Ernest Thompson Seton

on behalf of myself and Angry Kid Hoyt, hearty concurrence.

:o I still keep re-reading those, so I can't label them as 'childhood' books.

QUESTION FOR THURSDAY:

What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?

Out of sheer curiosity I'd try to fail to see if it was forreal.

Doing the crazy things I plan to do (anyway :) - failure doesn't hinder me most of the time).

^wee fibber she's just saying that - she can so fly

^ this.

get pregnant again

jump out of a plane!!!

propose marriage to penelope cruz

sell Frank.

¿ question of the day ? for friday:


do you sing, and if the answer is yes where do you do your best singing?



2 lbs of ¿ question ? crammed into a 1 lb sack.

Yes, sometimes, when the music really's got me (first I start to dance though,
best dancing would be while I'm cleaning bathroom or floors
at which I have developed quite some unusual techniques,
but that's another lb not included in this ¿ question ?)

In clubs, at concerts, where the music is so loud that one cannot possible hear me ;)

I sing when I do the dishes or when I do a little vacuuming (not very often). Generally when no one can hear me.

And (often, especially when I'm walking) I also sing in my head, then I can sing really beautifully! :)
