Slache Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I want points for honesty. When I was building homes in Louisiana we had some Canadians fly in. On their last night they got drunk out of their minds (didn't have to work the next day) and woke me up so they could sing the Canadian National Anthem to me. Half way through it became our National Anthem and the girl started crying because none of them knew their own national anthem. Yay daiquiries! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinE Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Anyone who takes this quiz and scores above 75% will earn 106 points as an honorary Texan. http://www.brainfall.com/quizzes/how-texas-are-you/1sm7q1/?utm_source=15-03-19-12&utm_medium=ppc&utm_campaign=3-19-15-texas-allsharers&utm_content=78-&utm_term=1 100% Texan, even though I wasn't born there. Pork with vinegar sauce is the devil, although pork BBQ is delicious. Sweet tea is gross, but I know how Texans like it. I didn't realize other people don't have homecoming mums. You mean girls in other states don't walk around with huge flowers on their chest, trailing ribbons, sequins, and bells? The poll forgot to ask about kolaches. ETA: And you're supposed to say "Howdy!" when you greet a stranger. Just smiling at a random person is creepy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 <---------------------- check THIS out! Competitive DH was all excited about my score, until he found out the context of the game (i.e., this thread). So after getting over the fact that his wife is NOT going to be the next great thing in Classical Home Education, he suggested that at the very least we should find a way to track our running totals. And so finally…. a purpose for the Member Title! <----- Ta Da! Points for unsurpassed creative innovation? With bonus points, since I haven't even finished my first cup of coffee this morning? :smilielol5: :smilielol5: :smilielol5: Wait until DH gets home and I tell him how far this thread has gone now! He'll be like :scared: and :001_huh: and -- wait, no face-palm icon? We need a face-palm icon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 We LOVE the goldfish method!! You should try it. The rambling zig-zag didn't appeal to my son. Although it was all-over-the-place enough for him, it wasn't fast enough. The "strolling through the meadow with my head stuck in a tree trunk" didn't work either. We just didn't get anywhere. Sigh.So we moved on and haven't looked back. I'm of absolutely no help on the other threads today, so I'm posting here. I feel like I belong. (Do we get points for quoting AMJ too?)

AMJ Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Seriously!? I mentioned willies and offered to tackle a fireman! I should get more points. Or at least arrested. You have been tried and found guilty. Your sentence: create the spin-off thread. What, no police badge icon, either?

AMJ Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I could get a picture of the kilt on the fire truck. But alas, no fireman will be in attendance. So, it's not as inspiring. Can I get points for having a kilt and a fire man, even if the two won't be joined???? 2000 points each for pictures posted of the kilt and fire truck. 5000 points if they are in the same picture. 1,000,000 points if you get the fireman to wear the kilt in the picture, standing on the fire truck -- but only if you actually post the picture here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think labs are necessary to get the local color. Don't worry. It involves things like riding horses and eating barbecue.
