It’s Fibbing Friday again! Time to put your hip boots on and wade through the bs. Di of Pensivity 101 fane is our host today. This week’s questions are below.
What is a black hole?
A black hole is the mysterious place where socks are orphaned, to where ghosted boyfriends and girlfriends disappear, and algebra was invented.
2. Why are we said to be green with envy?
It wouldn’t make sense if we were yellow, red, blue, or orange with envy. 3. Where will you find the yellow brick road?
The Yellow Brick Road is a place where stray dogs gather to pee.Just follow your noseand don’t slip on the wet bricks.
4. What is a red herring?
A herring who was banished from his home waters and now lives in the Red Sea.
5. What is carte blanche?
Carte Blanche is another word for French Anarchy.
6. What are parma violets?
Light purple Italian crayons.
7. Who was Scarlett O’Hara?
She was the wanna-be Southern Belle drama queen who sat next to me in 3rd grade.
8. Why are smurfs blue?
Hemophilia. Too many kissing cousins, too often. 9. What is a black and tan?
It’s an odd concoction that Gerry Adams and his Sinn Féin buddies drink every Easter.
It’s Poetics Tuesday over at the dVerse Poets Pub. MsJadeLi of the Tao Talk blog is our host. Today our mission is to explore diverging connections between things in poetry. Of the three options, I’ve decided to take a crack at the Diamante poetry form.
Friend
Faithful, Honest
Sharing, Trusting, Caring
Ally, Confidante, Liar, Backstabber
Fighting, Yelling, Hurting
Nasty, Evil
Enemy
I’m not sure how I feel about this piece. I enjoyed trying out a new poetry form, but something feels off. Maybe I didn’t choose the right topic. Or maybe it takes some practice. Thanks, JadeLi!
Welcome to the first Fibbing Friday of April! Today, our host is PCGuyIV of the Thoughts & Theories blog. In case you need a refresher or are new here, the idea is to answer the questions below as creatively as possible. Of course, there is one catch: your answers must bend, break, stretch, or outright ignore the truth! It is called Fibbing Friday after all! Once you’ve done that, link back to this post with your answers so that we can all share in your creative fibbing skills. Pingbacks are enabled, or you may just leave a link to your reply in the comments below. Also, be sure to check out how others have responded. Half the fun is seeing what others have come up with!
Why is April Fools Day on April 1st?
If it were on any other day, it wouldn’t be April Fool’s Day.
According to the old adage, exactly what do April showers bring?
April showers bring rainbows and unicorn faerie dust farts.
What is a Haiku?
Many years ago during the Summer of Love in San Francisco, there was this guy named Ku. When his friends saw him, they’d say Hi, Ku!One guy who was partial to Magic Mushrooms, fancied himself a poet and started writing poems about the hrase Hi, Ku! Somehow an ‘A’ was added and it became Haiku.

How did the tradition of hiding eggs on Easter begin?
Pagan chickens started the whole thing. One morning on Old McDonald’s Farm, an alpha chicken named Hulga thought it would be funny to hide the other hens eggs and make them look for them. In order that each hen would find her own eggs, Hulga wrote their names on them with ifferent colored Sharpies. Hulga had opposable thumbs which enabled her to write and was also why she was the alpha chicken.
Why is it a tradition to serve lamb on Easter?
As a Jewish person, I can only guess at this. After ten minutes of deep thought, I think it had to do with that little lamb who followed Mary around. This is why it’s always better to be a leader than a follower.
Why is the season between winter and summer called spring?
I think it’s because when the weather warms up, weeds and flowers pop out of the ground. They spring up, kind of like mattress springs.
Since March just recently ended, what is meant by the old adage, “In like a lion, out like a lamb”?
I don’t know. I think I pulled a muscle in my brain.I’ll bet that alpha chicken would know. Or maybe the Poet on Mushrooms from question #3.
What is meant by the phrase, “trial by fire”?
What is the difference between fact and theory?
Not much, once you factor in Alternative and Fake News. Whichever is your own personal truth becomes a fact. Truth has become subjective.
It’s time once again for Share Your World hosted by Melanie of SparksFromaCombustibleMind fame. The questions and answers are below.
What is knowledge?
In my opinion, knowledge is gained through education and studying while wisdom is something you gain over time and through experience.
How do you define consciousness (self awareness)?
I think consciousness is the awareness of who you are innately, what you are doing, and being mindful of other’s feelings.
Is it possible to prove that other people besides yourself have consciousness?
I don’t think so. It seems you’d have to get inside their heads to be able to prove something like that.
Would you be able to tell if time had been altered in some way?
No. Time has a way of getting away from me. In fact, I don’t even bother changing the clock in my car for Daylight Savings Time. I’d just have to change it again in six months, so why bother?
Do you like potato chips (they’re called ‘crisps’ in Europe I believe)?
No. I don’t much care for greasy and/or salty things.
Gratitude
I am grateful to have made it through the tornado last week, physically unscathed. I am also grateful that we were only without power for a few days.
