Ha! I love the 6 Day War question!
HAAAAAAA! Not Jesus!! LOL. Thanks for the morning laugh!
I am laughing out loud! Thank you!
This reminds me of that movie "She's all That" with Freddie P Jr and Rachel Leigh Cook. The dad is sitting watching Jeopardy and just saying the most ridiculous things.
My favorite? "What President is at the left of Mount Rushmore?" "Who is President Rushmore."
Great post!
hilarious. :)
Iris Took, I LOVE that you've watched "She's All That" and are able to quote it. That makes my day.
Random question: How much are you loving The Other Boleyn Girl?!
I LOVE it! I usually can't stand "period" books. They annoy me for some reason. It's an odd thing I have, but I LOVE IT!
Seriously - that's one of the BEST books I ever read.
I was sad it ended...
I'm so glad you like it!
