The Stand, The Bus, The Snack, The Prizes
So, I've decided to reread The Stand and am in the very early stages of the story. Meanwhile, two coworkers of mine have fallen sick with flu-like symptoms. Coincidence?
I decided to take the bus to work this morning. The 405 was supposed to stop at the stop near my house at 7:12 and I got there at 7:09, it didn't come. Instead, the 211 came at 7:21, exactly the time it was scheduled to stop. I ended up getting to work at about the same time I normally do when I take the train, but if I had caught the 405 at the time it should have been there, I'd have been ten minutes earlier.
I brought as a snack today at work a banana.
Not this past Sunday but the one before, my wife and I went on the radio during the trivia show and played a game called the 'Battle of the Sexes' where I got asked five 'girly' questions and she got asked five 'guy' questions. We together answered enough questions to win the prize which was: 50$ gift certificate to Riccardo's, a free meal coupon at La Cabane and two tickets to see the Concerto for Erhu by the Montreal Chamber Orchestra.
I don't remember all of the questions we had, but here are some...
Girly question: wool, cotton, steam, etc are the settings on what?
Guy question: Prestone is?
Girly question: curly-q french fries and vegetables in the shape are called what?
Girly question: what is it called when jeans and leggings are combined?

i like everything about this post.
Girly? Gah.
We listen to the 'Battle of the Sexes' on that show every time it plays and often we get the majority of the questions, so we thought we'd give it a try this time.
ghost; thanks.
zhoen; sometimes I don't know the guy ones and my wife doesn't know the girl ones, so it isn't always clearcut.
Jeans and leggings combined are just plain nasty. That is the answer.
