Tie o’ the Day is a purple harlequin design by Alfani. Shirt is a brushed cotton plaid by Sonoma. What I don’t know is this: Why are “flannel” shirts almost exclusively plaid? Is plaid inherently warmer than other patterns? This is one of those BIG QUESTIONS about our existence, I think. It’s right up there with, “Why are we here?” and “Is there life after death?”.
I want to collaborate with Mercedes on a book about questions people want answered the minute they get to the Pearly Gates. I call ’em Bucket Questions, cuz you have to die to find out the truth. This plaid/flannel shirt question is one of mine. In fact, I think most people’s Bucket Questions are pretty specific and could be answered succinctly. We simply want to know what’s up. Here are a few more questions I want answered:
- What is the big deal about soccer?
- How many certifiable fools were on the jury of O. J.’s murder trial?
- Who killed Jon Benet?
- Does Donald Trump stick his head in a cotton candy machine to build his hair?
- Why is Michael Strahan ubiquitous?
- Is there a special circle of Hell for the Dallas Cowboys and New York Yankees? (Oh, please, tell me that there is. And tell me that I’m not going there.)
- Is Araby waiting for me right behind those Gates?
C’mon. You know you have a bunch of your own bigly and/or minuscule questions flying around in your head, begging for answers. Make your own Bucket Question List. Share it. Just don’t be in a hurry to get into the Pearly-Gated Community, where the answers are waiting to meet their questions.
Fabuloys Ckash Fashion and piercing Tie talk. So the start of my, i.e., Mercedes’ Bucket Questions:
* Where did our family lose the round, metal thingy that held the garbage can on our brand new riding lawn mower?
* Is there a scientific explanation for finding something we lost, immediately after we’ve bought the replacement for the lost something? Or is this a problem only for me?
Here’s another question: Why is it that when you grab the wad of clothes from the dryer, one item falls to the floor? Just one. Something always falls from the clothes clump. And it’s always just a single item.
And here’s one more query. If dryer sheets are supposed to help keep down the static clean, how come the dryer sheets end up clinging to the inside of my Levi’s pant legs, and then fall out–cling free–while I’m wearing them at the grocery store?
Excellent questions, Mercedes. Sorry for the delay in reponding. I didn’t know how to see or make comments. I am not yet ept at this. I learned to refresh my internet page on my nook only a couple of hours ago. I’ve had it for over a year. 😣😆
