Hi Julie- thanks for visiting. everyone has such good answers!

C'mon now! I know you watch Survivor and have seen bugs in the rice! But I guess that doesn't mean the RICE has gone bad.

R, although extremely yucky, it would still be edible.

Hi Trav, one right, but hot damn, you've got a point about twinkies. do they ever go bad?

v said...

OK, I'm a sucker for these things.
1. S.S. Minnow? :0) (Zach suggested Titanic. Mmm, not so much.)
2. One half.
3. A coastline. (Or a Wal-Mart.)
4. Asbestos?
5. Chocolate never dies. (Though my mom did cook a pasta dish one time that didn't, either. This wasn't pretty.)

Lisa Ryan said...

Happy Canada Day Imma!

hi Vanessa, ha! tell Zach that was a good guess! and one half works but that was not the intended answer. I would never have chocolate in my possesion long enough to know if it went bad or not, lol.
hey, did you name your boat? and send me the watermelon recipe when you get a chance. :-)

Kate said...

RZ - nah, once you boil the rice, the bugs are nutthin.
EWWWWWW.

rzdesign said...

What does Julie win? Bragging rights? Why didn't my cryptic answers count? Oh right. . . I cheated! LOL

Lisa Ryan said...

bragging rights are about it! and while your cryptic answer was pretty innovative it WAS still cheating, lol.

v said...

Of course we named our boat. And of course it's named after a woman. [Two actually ;-)]

Watermelon + vodka + crystal light lemonade mix + lemon juice + and I think Triple Sec? = a bunko party where there was no bunko :-)

Travis Cody said...

Awwww man! Well I got one.

And for the record, I live 2 states away from my place of birth.

Lisa Ryan said...

Vanessa, thanks for the recipe, best bunko ever. :-) what is the boat's name?

Travis, and I live within 50 miles of mine so there is the half! lol
