  26. 1 – LOVE the title of your blog

    2 – you weren’t kidding about being an attention whore! LOL 😉 But seriously, TT is a good way to get traffic at least ONE day a week!

    3 – you killed my father. prepare to die.

  27. My husband can be a weasel and daughter a monkey. Both are quite messy to have around too. Welcome to T13. Take care. -Margie

  28. Anytime I can work the words “monkey” or “weasel” into a conversation.

    I do believe I am going to try this tomorrow with all of my friends just to see what will happen! Classic!

    Happy Thursday!

  29. Oh yeah, the characters from Stephanie’s New Jersey are a trip! Imagine Grandma Plum & Lula in a sitcom? Hee!

    BTW, my fav episode of Friends is when Rachel made the English Triffle. LOL!

  36. Great list! We call our little girl “Monkey” sometimes…affectionately, of course. 😉 And I love Donkey, or as he calls himself – Dunkey. 🙂
    Welcome to TT! It’s alot of fun!!

  37. The Princess Bride and Friends absolutely get me going. I think my own personal fave line from Princess is when Inigo Montoya says to the “Inconceivable!” guy – “You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.” Hilarious.

    Thanks so much for dropping by! I’m bookmarking your blog!

  40. Thanks for stopping by my TT. I can tell that you are a movie buff just like me! I like all the ones you mentioned, especially Moonstruck….I can walk around around for days singing the Dean Martin song (off key, but I like it). 🙂
    Take care!
