Friday Fix #43 - Meet Tara!

The Friday Fix is a takeover of my Friday blog post by other bloggers who have volunteered their time and energy to "star" in their very own guest post on Friday. Only one mandatory rule (you can't get out of it!) - you must answer five of the most random questions I throw your way. The rest is up to you. Remember, if you'd like to be featured on the Friday Fix, send me an email, and let me know! So, without further ado, here are the Tara from Fiction Folio!

The Most Random Questions in the World...

1. When does something stop being vintage and start being antique?

When I think vintage, I think cool and hip like my Backstreet Boys CDs and my Care Bears blanket. When I think of antiques, I think of things like my Caboodle or my crimper. So I'm going to go ahead and say something turns antique when it's too old to be considered cool anymore. (This is all subjective, of course)

2. How does a real estate of office sell their office without causing confusion?

That would be very tricky. I think the best way to go about this would be to hire a guy to stand outside of the office in a banana suit singing a fun little ditty to everyone who came by. You always look at the guy dressed up as a hot dog or some other food right? So you would have to pay attention to what he had to say.

3. Where does a toetag on a dead person go if they have no toes?

That's a very good question. I wonder why he/she doesn't have any toes... perhaps an unfortunate ice skating incident? Anyways, I guess the tag would have to go on one of their fingers because that's the closest thing to a toe. I bet the strings aren't long enough to go around their ankle.

4. Why can ghosts walk through walls and doors, but they never fall through floors?

I think the commander of all ghosts decided that being a ghost sucked pretty bad, so he/she decided to give them a little break and give them the ability to float around their chosen haunting ground. That way, they could still move from room to room through the walls, but they wouldn't have to worry about falling through the floor. Unless of course, they decide they want to fall through so they can go downstairs, in which case they just will themselves to fall and voila!

5. Why do we call beans "the magical fruit" if they are vegetables?

Beans are called the magical fruit because we all know the only thing beans are good for is an amazingly-immature-but-ever-hilarious tune to sing when we were younger (or just yesterday...). Could you imagine singing "Beans, beans, the magical vegetable, the more you eat, the more you you become incapable?! Completely ruins the whole point of the song. And makes for a very boring childhood.

Ok, Tara, you said you thought you weren't funny. Good thing you didn't try, or I would've died laughing. As it is, I think I grew an ab from your Friday Fix, so thank you for that. For the rest of you, if you haven't checked out Tara's blog, Fiction Folio, yet...you really should. Preferably stat. She's awesome, and her posts are all amazing if I do say so myself. And I do.
