Sparks Of Insanity By Vinny "Bond" Marini Monday, July 13, 2009 15 Of Your Sparks

Well, we tried something new and it seemed to go against the grain of most of you, my guests. So...we will put it on the back shelf. Only one person actually answered them all...Let's see how BECKEYE from "The Pop Eye" did....her answers were:

1. B
2. A
3. F
4. C (If this is Bush, you cheated. It's "nucular.")
5. A
6. F
7. D
8. E
9. B
10. E

OK, a few others took a shot at answering one or two...

JAY from "Cynical B**tard" guessed: "1. Was Palin I think and #5 was Biden."

DrillerAA from "Drillers Place" left this guess: "I'm guessing No. 3 belongs to Hillary. She would keep a chart!"

well...let's look at it, shall we?

  1. "We've got a lot of relations with countries in our neighborhood."
    2. F - GEORGE W. BUSH

    4. D - HILLARY CLINTON
  4. "As a nuclear power - as the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon - the United States has a moral responsibility to act. "

So, ummm Beck...thanks for playing, since you at least tried, I will come up with a little Memphis Themed gift pak for ya if you send me your snail mail.

Jay, you went 1 for 2...Driller, you know your list keepers - yes you do.

What more is there to say for today?

See y'all tomorrow with something more interesting...we hope!

Seemed appropriate...King Curtis, with Duane Allman playing slide guitar..."Games People Play" or don't play in this case...

ENJOY...

A Birthday, A Sky & A New Game

Sparks Of Insanity By Vinny "Bond" Marini Friday, July 10, 2009 10 Of Your Sparks


Please take a moment and head over and wish my good friend ANGELL from "Angell'z Secretz" a wonderful BIRTHDAY!


Check out "Looking At The Sky Friday" participants by clicking on the banner above and heading over to Crazy Working Mom's site.

Going back to last October...Lake Meade from atop the Hoover Dam and a brilliant blue sky - OK, it is a sliver of the sky...but there is SKY!


It has really been a tiring week between work and the activities surrounding a certain day in September and well, just life...

I have made it to your blogs every day this week, so that is a good thing!

Have not really had a chance to do much photography, though we did take some pictures this weekend of Nancy and I for use in the upcoming weeks.


I thought this might be fun for a Friday...here is the deal...we have some quotes below and it is your assignment to figure out which quote belongs to one of the following people. Now, I will tell you that all of them may not be represented below...then again they all might be!

Go on...take the challenge..this post is here on top until Monday.

So without further ado...it is time to play:



Rules are simple. Each quote is numbered. In comments, put the letter of the person you think spoke the quote next to the number of the quote. We will come up with an appropriate prize for the winner and in case of a tie we will cut the prize in pieces numbering the winners! No, really, we will come up with something!


Our 'guest' speakers today are:
A) Joe Biden
B) Sarah Palin
C) Dick Cheney
D) Hillary Clinton
E) Barack Obama
F) George W. Bush

I probably played this somewhere in the past, but it just came on while I was finishing the post, and HECK-A-DOODLE I just had to share it...
