I know that this list is crazy …As in Zelda crazy, but they are not all people I love, but are people that are part of a story I love, I have a Lizzie Borden doll you knew she was going to be on a list!
Your list is diverse, interesting, and sometimes amusing.
I was a little embarrassed by some of them, but then I said … I don’t care! It’s Andy. Carrie and Liz that amuse you, right?
Benedict Arnold… I forgot him! How did that happen? Also Nathan Hale .. and Thomas Paine
Edison: without him, we wouldn’t have had the records and light bulbs that no self-respecting drag queen would lip sync to a live audience
Good one!
I love this game because each week there is something fun/interesting to think about. My lack of responses comes from an inability to make decisions on choices! For the music question, I went through three years of Top 100 songs and as I scrolled down the lists, each and every song played in my head. The memories were wonderful!
Favorite family thing – impossible to narrow it down but such a joy to reminisce. Food? Depends on my mood and the season. Sigh. And all the others, a similar quandary.
Famous American: (yay!)
Frederick Ogden Nash. “The Lord in His wisdom made the fly,
And then forgot to tell us why.”
You are the best. =)
We were under fly attack for a couple of days earlier this month. I’d never seen anything like it and hope never to again.
Did Nash do one on my nemesis, the mosquito?!?
Unfortunately, the mosquito was never one of his honorees.
It’s probably for the best. I hope Disney never makes a movie about an endearing mosquito, either.
1. Abraham Lincoln
2. Theodore Roosevelt
3. Eleanor Roosevelt
4. Sandra Day O’Connor
5. Chris Kyle
An intriguing list that gave me lots to think about, esp number 5.
Um. All these Americans! Sitting Bull?
Benjamin Franklin.
What an interesting person he was, too!
