Can you answer this?

Today I'm going to ask you a couple questions (that are supposedly unanswerable) and I want you to give me your wackiest or most logical (your choice) answers in the comments (because you're writers or creatively inclined people and you want to make stuff up for a living). 

If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done?

If you choke a smurf, what color does it turn?

When you're sitting on the upstairs floor are you sitting on the downstairs ceiling?

Why is it that murder always seems to liven a novel?

I hope your weekend is as awesome as my cat is cute!

  1. Awww, cute cat!

    I don't have any answers, but here's a question for you: Why do we park in a driveway but drive on a parkway? I wonder about these things, too.

  4. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

    lingerie is all lacy and smooth- good for feeling.

    If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done?

    Neither because your head just exploded trying to figure it out ;p


    If you choke a smurf, what color does it turn?

    His head turns into an actual blueberry. And then you eat it.


    When you're sitting on the upstairs floor are you sitting on the downstairs ceiling?

    YES. Never thought of that.


    Why is it that murder always seems to liven a novel?

    Because we are a sick and twisted people.

  6. These are all answerable questions:

    If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?
    Lingerie is about horny.

    If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done?
    You have succeeded in failing. If try to fail your driving test by driving on the sidewalk, knocking over a man who bumps into a floor display that falls through a window and crushes the beautiful dress you can't afford but the woman who stole your boyfriend was wearing, and the tester sympathizes and passes you, you've failed.


    If you choke a smurf, what color does it turn?
    Smurfs don't need to breath, so what's the point?


    When you're sitting on the upstairs floor are you sitting on the downstairs ceiling?
    Yes.

    I agree with Abby, we are sick and twisted people.

  7. Better yet - Smurfs don't exist, so what's the point!

  8. Very funny questions!

    As for love being blind, silky, satiny lingerie feels good.

    Succeed when you try to fail, depends. Did you succeed in failing?

    Choking a smurf. I imagine it turns pink.

    Sitting upstairs. Yes, you are sitting on the downstairs ceiling.

    Murder livens up a novel because...we are sick and twisted!

  9. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? Cause lust can see even in the dark.

    If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done? Both you are a faiceedure.

    If you choke a smurf, what color does it turn? The same color they turn when they talk until they are blue in the face.

    When you're sitting on the upstairs floor are you sitting on the downstairs ceiling? only if you are a fly.

    Why is it that murder always seems to liven a novel? Cause we are all serial killers at heart.

  10. Lingerie is popular because everyone is shallow and is blind to the love handles protruding out of the lady.

    if you try to fail, and succeed, you have failed, therefore, you have succeeded!

    If you choke a smurf it turns rainbow.

    You are infact sitting on the downstairs ceiling.

    Murder is fun!

    And I also hope my weekend can live up the the cuteness of your cat! She is sooo cute! Also I enjoy this post!

  11. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?
    Because it's not always for love...Good gravy, I honestly don't know. Or maybe it's for love's guide dog. xD That's a better answer.

    If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done?
    If you try to fail but succeed, you have failed in succeeding, hence succeeding by failing which was the original plan. But then that brings you right back to failing by succeeding...Never mind that one.

    If you choke a smurf, what color does it turn?
    No one in their right mind would choke a smurf. So we needn't worry about what color it will turn.

    When you're sitting on the upstairs floor are you sitting on the downstairs ceiling?
    Yeah...you are. Haha! I've never seen it like that. :D

    Why is it that murder always seems to liven a novel?
    I guess we're all intrigued by the dirty crimes of some other human being...and the death of another. Now that I say that, that's not right. :3 So I agree with Abby.

    Haha, fantastic questions! Made my day.

  12. Your cat is adorable! Here are my answers to your excellent questions!

    Lingerie is used for lust. Once you're in love, you stop using all that lacy stuff (ask any husband that's been married for ten or more years).

    You've failed at failing.

    White.

    No.

    Murder livens EVERYTHING! That's why the news always has such horrible stories on instead of good ones. Bad news sells. Everything from books to papers to evening news. If it bleeds, it leads.

    Have a great weekend!!

  13. Your cat is so cute!

    A smurf turns monoazo.

  14. *snort*

    Murders also liven up a news broadcast!

    xo

  15. 1. Because lust is 50/10 vision.
    2. CONQUERED.
    3. White!
    4. Noooo, you'd have to be downstairs and sitting on the ceiling for that :D
    5. Only if it's mystery/crime--and that's because murder is the meat of a mystery/crime.

    UGH adorable cat :(

  16. ahh... so you've murdered someone! Great way to bury the lede~ ;p <3

  17. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? Because if a man will wear it for you, it is proof of the lengths they will go to.

    If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done? Succeed. When in doubt, always call it a success. (in fact spin it as a success anyway)

    If you choke a smurf, what color does it turn? I've done this. It is sort of the shade of cherry cola.

    When you're sitting on the upstairs floor are you sitting on the downstairs ceiling? Only if you are upside down.

    Why is it that murder always seems to liven a novel? because you've seen his whole life flash before you.

  18. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

    That’s one of Victoria’s secrets.

    If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done?

    Succeeded… at wasting a bunch of time.

    If you choke a smurf, what color does it turn?

    Purple, of course.

    When you're sitting on the upstairs floor are you sitting on the downstairs ceiling?

    Yes, now just hold on so you don’t fall through.

    Why is it that murder always seems to liven a novel?

    Because readers are actually very sinister people.

  19. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? (It’s like brail)

    If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done? (Learned a valuable lesson)

    If you choke a smurf, what color does it turn? (Puke-green)

    When you're sitting on the upstairs floor are you sitting on the downstairs ceiling? (yes, they are the same thing)

    Why is it that murder always seems to liven a novel? (It’s the ultimate treachery, sin, betrayal or price to pay—is there any higher stakes than that… nope)


    Hope you have a wonderful weekend as well.

  20. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

    Because although love is blind, lust or passion isn't.

    If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done?

    You've succeeded at failing in the task you were trying to fail, but failed the task itself.

    If you choke a smurf, what color does it turn?

    Humans go blue when choking because of the deoxygenated haemoglobin in their blood. If smurfs appear blue because their version of haemoglobin is blue, when it deoxygenates it presumably turns red.

    When you're sitting on the upstairs floor are you sitting on the downstairs ceiling?

    Yes.

    Why is it that murder always seems to liven a novel?

    Because it creates huge emotion: anger, fear, grief, sometimes even joy or relief or longing for revenge. And powerful emotions like that are what make us human, so they bring characters to life.

  21. Great questions. Too deep for me, especially the one about the smurfs.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Hahaha! Love is blind and lingerie is popular because we're thinking with other parts of our bodies. ;)

    Smurfs turn green and dissolve into the grassy fields that they love to skip about on all day...


    Wonderful questions! Have a fab weekend! xx

  23. Okay...So my first reaction to answers are kinda...mean. But if it were anyone else I wouldn't admit it! So:

    If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? Cause even blind men need some help with ugo's.

    If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done? wasted your life.

    If you choke a smurf, what color does it turn? hallucinations...how sad...

    When you're sitting on the upstairs floor are you sitting on the downstairs ceiling? Yes.

    Why is it that murder always seems to liven a novel? because people walk around secretly hoping someone will drop dead in front of them.

  24. Dude,
    I love these questions. I'm a little punch drunk from work and my mind is *blank*. But I did laugh. That counts, right?

  25. Haha! These questions made me laugh (and snort). And man oh man, your cat is CUTE!

  26. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? Why is it assumed sex and love are synonymous?

    If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done? Both.

    If you choke a smurf, what color does it turn? Deathly pale.

    When you're sitting on the upstairs floor are you sitting on the downstairs ceiling? Not in a high rise building.

    Why is it that murder always seems to liven a novel? Because as one heart is slowing down, another is speeding up.

    :)

  27. Oh those are some good ones I haven't heard before!

  28. These were funny.

    My head is a bit congested to think about these but I really enjoyed reading everyone else's answers.

    One thought that keeps crossing my mind of late is how books with several bad reviews got published and yet it's so hard for everyone else to get published? Hmmm. I know I'm not the only one whose purchased a not so great book and wondered how they got published. Haha!

  29. When you're sitting on the upstairs floor are you sitting on the downstairs ceiling?

    No - your sitting on the downstairs roof! Fun list - and your cat is gorgeous.

  30. 1. Because lust is not.
    2. You didn't succeed at failing.
    3. Bluer than blue.
    4. Depends how many floors there are.
    5. I was doing so good until I got to this one - nothing witty - I'm ashamed.

    Your cat is adorable which made my weekend awesome (I can feel it), lol.

  31. Reading the others had me busting a gut! Too much fun!

  32. Meow. Meow. Meow.

    If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

    Sexiness is on the inside? And we feel sexy in lingerie? Except when we're bloated? And have to turn off the lights?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Okay, I'm going to give this one a shot. Haven't read the previous answers yet...

    1. Because love is often not what leads us to the lingerie department. ;)

    2. "We never failed to fail. It was the easiest thing to do." (C,S,N&Y)

    3. Purple

    4. Only if you're a vampire bat.

    5. (This is the hardest, hmmm...) It's often the point where the story comes to life?

    Okay, silly. That was fun.

  34. Lingerie isn't for love.

    Succeeding at failing is what people do who want to pass a class and not gain a teacher's attention - had that explained to me once by a student who was recovering from several years as an advanced placement kid. He didn't see the point in working hard to impress if it just meant working even harder and being socially ostracized.

    Choked smurfs turn green, I think I saw that once on an episode . . .maybe.

    Sitting on the ceiling.

    Murder makes novels more interesting because . . . even in real life we can't believe someone would be that bad, or we don't want to believe it.
