Oh didn't you know? Before he was Charlie Brown's dog, Snoopy was Pavlov's dog.

What's your favourite color and why?

Cat0703a

Mustard yellow. All the best things are that colour like mustard and baby poo. 🥰

I love board games. What is one of your favourite pastimes?

frankwbrown

I like to watch commercials. Unfortunately, most commercial breaks are disrupted by actual programming time (except for paid broadcasting type commercials, but those generally lack entertainment value). So I record programs, that way I can fast forward through the program and see all the commercials more efficiently. With practice, you can get to about 90% commercial time versus program time, which percentage wise is slightly better than watching the whole thing.

Is it true that commercials are always completely honest about their products and why you need them?

paperpudding

Of course it is.

Especially the sort of commercials peppering Australian media atm - political parties telling us what they will do after upcoming Federal election
I'm sure every one of those promise will be 100% kept.

Voting in Australia is compulsory unless you have a valid exemption.

Like dementia, in labour ward having a baby, in coma following a car accident.

None of which likely to apply to me.

What other excuse could I try?

s1im62

Assuming death of the voter is a valid excuse, try faking zombification or vampirism. If they don't accept those then just run for office in the Zombie Party or the Vampire Party, and they'll change their minds quickly and disqualify you for being dead. There's nothing like a little political competition to change a politician's mind about letting people have their own way.

After finding out that celery is not really a net-negative calorie food, I've been searching for others that are safe to eat, and largely safe to eat, with no success. Are there any such net-negative calorie foods?

Generic_Excuse

Well I hate to be the person to answer a question with a question but have you tried using a positive net to catch the food in? Seems the most logical way...🤔


How do rainbows form?

Cat0703a

Have you ever taught rain to do anything? It takes incredible patience. It’s rare to see an actual rainbow…most are just rainhangies. 🤷‍♀️

Why do we have chocolate eggs for Easter when bunnies don’t lay eggs? Why isn’t it an Easter Chicken?

nossmf

The chicken population is still attempting to recover after Super Bowl weekend, when approximately 1.4 BILLION wings are consumed each year. (True fact.) (Note: this answer sounds better than the age-old comic where bunny droppings are mistaken for chocolate eggs...)

Many of the technologies showcased in the original Star Trek series in the 70's have come true... cell phones, tablets, needle-less hypodermics. What scientific marvel of your favorite sci-fi show do you wish would come true next?

s1im62

A sharknado. People living in the coastal areas have it too fun and easy, so an occasional sharknado will help balance the kharmic cosmos.

California is facing a water crisis. Meanwhile water has been found on Mars, and nobody is even using it at all! How can all that freely available water be piped to where it's needed?

Cat0703a

The environmentally friendly compostable straw was tried but it didn't have the longevity needed to get the water where it was to go. Next they tried the metal straw but it was too rigid and it poured down in Australia instead. Oops! I hear they are working on some kind of crazy straw similar to what is used in beer hats and wine purses. Hopefully, the scientists working on it don't end up too drunk running their experiments.

I'm hosting an unexpected Easter dinner for family. What is your go-to Easter dessert?

cmsienk

This year my Easter dinner is likely to be be sourdough bagels and coffee and I'm thinking about making it my new go-to for future Easters.

How often do you change the pillow cases on your pillows?

frankwbrown

Change them? Why would you want to change them? I suppose you might want to change them to have a new color now and then, in which case go ahead and change them when the mood strikes. Some pillow cases are made of poor quality fabric and might start showing wear after 3-4 years, so next time buy better cases. I suppose some people might have a problem with the pillow case getting somewhat stiff, and so might want to change them for that reason. That seems like a wasted effort, since the new ones will be stiff after a couple years or so, and you're back to square one. And if your pillows have a synthetic filling rather than something like goose down, why use pillow cases at all? It's not like the filling is going to leak.

For a while now (really ever since I started living alone, or soon thereafter), I've noticed an unpleasant odor in my bedroom, right around my bed, even after I pick up all my stinky clothes. What could it be?

cmsienk

Are you hiding chocolate under your bed? You know that must be eaten within a day or two (at the most) or it immediately starts to smell like mustard, right? I'm almost postitive that's what you're smelling.

(And I mis-read your question, Cat. Bagels and lattes are my Easter dinner. My go-to dessert is invisible pickle pie - my friend Frank introduced me to it. Since I'm out of town for Easter this year, I'll probably have the old Easter dessert standby - cough drops.)

There's not a lot of floor-space to spread out a yoga mat in my hotel room. Any suggestions for another way to get in some yoga while I'm out of town?

Generic_Excuse

Oh that's easy just set up in the lobby and when people join you can charge them. It's a win win, you get to do yoga & get extra spending money on vacation.


Why does smell so greatly affect your taste?

cmsienk

(Oh if only this were a vacation...)

For years smell has affected people's taste - especially when it comes to one's wardrobe. If what you're smelling when you're getting dressed for the day is pleasant, you're more likely to look fashionable and well put together. If however, the smell in the air is putrid, good luck to you. You're likely to be walking around in mis-matched clothes, with a cloud of 'stink' surrounding you - much like Pig Pen, Charlie Brown's friend.

What do you when you have a song stuck in your head (and you'd rather it not be there)?

Generic_Excuse

Pain. Pain takes all thoughts away from what's happening elsewhere in your body so slam your toe as hard as you can into a wall and you sure won't be thinking of that song anymore that's for sure. (NOT MEDICAL ADVICE, NOT A DOCTOR)

Why do Doctors prefer to go by their professional title while off duty? (Dooty 😄)

nossmf

Do you realize how many years of college you have to study through before you can be called "doctor?" During that entire time, candidates are not allowed contact with the outside world, only fellow doctors-to-be who have name tags with their last names. Eventually, the doctoral students' heads are so full of information that they begin to forget less important facts, such as names nobody calls them anymore. By the time they graduate, most have forgotten their first names; consequently, they choose to be called "Doctor Smith" from then on, some out of shame that they've forgotten their names, and a rare few who actually BELIEVE the word doctor is their first name.

Why are some leftover foods so much less tasty than when served fresh, while others are even better the second time around?

Generic_Excuse

Well a while ago I read an extensive research paper by Dr Ima Fraud that explained that tast buds replace themselves about every two weeks. In this process obviously the pregnant taste buds that are about to have the new tastebud offsprings have the same cravings/food nausea that is similar to other living organisms. So for example let's say you had lasagna for dinner Monday and it was phenomenal but by Tuesday at lunch time it taste not right anymore, lacking, that's probably because those pregnant taste buds are having a hard time accepting that flavor at the moment. Or let's say you have steak Friday and it was alright but on Saturday it's the best steak you've ever had then obviously you've nailed tastebud cravings. It's all very scientifical but I hope I was able to make it as simple as possible.


Where do all the lost socks go?

nossmf

The Lost Boys take them to Never Never Land, where they are stuffed with all the marbles lost by old people everywhere you proclaim they've "lost their marbles."

Got the results back from my annual physical. Excellent blood work, blood pressure is good, prime of health. But one thing I couldn't figure out...how is it the nurse measured my waist as 37", when I wear 34" pants which would fall down if not for my belt?

Generic_Excuse

Well the medical field thives when people feel unhealthy and have to seek their attention and what better way than to make special measuring tapes that skip numbers. No one really looks at them but if you did you'd noticed numbers like 6, 14, 22, 31, etc are missing thus increasing your measurements and making you feel overall unfit. I also think they mess with the scales... but I don't have the solid proof on that yet.


Why does Winter start in Dec and end in March but the feel of Winter starts in October and ends in May? Seems a bit selfish of Winter.
