The Get Out of Jail Free Meme, Part One


Today we ripped off a blogger named Pookie 808 called Pookie808. We will do it in two parts. Where she got it, we have no idea. But this is someone who could not come up a separate screen name and a blog name. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft’s thieves might take some time. Take the time to comment on other player’s posts. It’s a great way to make new friends! Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

Sunday Stealing: The Get Out of Jail Free Meme, Part One

1. When you’re home alone, do you still close the door when you use the restroom?

~Hell no. I don’t even wear clothes (oops … tmi?? :roll:)

2. If you have to go grocery shopping, would you rather go alone or with someone?

5. Do you like your music loud or at a reasonable level?

~Depends on the music. Rock/Alternative – LOUD. Souls/R&B/Classical etc – Reasonable level. What is a reasonable level btw? Isn’t that subjective? If my radio volume knob stops at 10, and I put it at 8, that could be a reasonable level for me πŸ™‚

~That’s a tricky one. I like being out and about, but I get nostalgic so easily 😦

11. What’s one of your worst memories (that you are comfortable sharing)?

~My company had a sports day and i decided to compete in a race. Being very confident, I was the crowd favorite, so naturally I thought I would win. A quarter way to the finish line it was all a blur.

When I opened my eyes, all i saw was my lips clutching the asphalt. My ego wasn’t the only thing bruised that day – elbows, shin, knees, knuckles, instep, toes … did I miss any ... I think I covered them all 😦

~At first I use to be confrontational, now I keep the peace. Peace!

Cosmology 101: The Death of Pluto

Image via BBC

Ladies and gentlemen. We are gathered here today to commemorate the death of one of ‘The Nine’. He has been apart of our family and in our hearts from the first day we stepped into science class in High School. In science class, our teacher, in trying to help us remember The Nine, would use the famous mnemonic :

My Very Educated Mother, Just Showed Us Nine Planets/Potatoes/Pineapples”

M = Mercury

V = Venus

E = Earth

M = Mars

J = Jupiter

S = Saturn

U = Uranus

N = Neptune

P = Pluto

Sad to say, Pluto is no more! He’s not dead, he’s just not recognized as a planet. Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson and the International Astronomical Union decided to strip Pluto of its planetary status based on a new definition of planets.

In essence, a planet is a body that dominates its environment. Which means that it should be the largest body in the area it orbits. Pluto’s moon is half the size of the planet. To put that into perspective, think of Earth’s moon being just half the size of Earth.

My biggest concern though is what will become of the mnemonic we’ve cemented in our minds. ‘My Very Educated Mother Just Showed Us Nine ….’ just seems incomplete. I can see an innocent child waiting in vain for you to complete that sentence 😦

Au revoir Pluto. Vous allez nous manquer. (Goodbye Pluto. We will miss you)

The Never Ending Meme Pt. 2

Today we ripped off a blogger named Tense Teacher of the blog Tense for a Reason. (Yes we know that we’ve ripped her off not so long ago as well. It’s pretty amazing since she stopped posting in 2007. But that’s where we live as a thief). Also, it’s long so we’ll do it in parts. She does not say where she got it from. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft’s thieves might take some time. Take the time to comment on other player’s posts.
