Friday 5 for May 8: Someone else’s questions

Haven't done these in almost a year. Just taking a stab at this older one first.

1. If you could go back in time and murder anyone who’s ever lived, who would you choose? You’re not allowed to pick a certain German dictator from the 1940s.

At great risk of altering the timeline continuum, I would consider doing away with Klara Polzi at any time on or before 1888. I would call that a pre-emptive hit. That would prevent the birth of you know who.

2. If you could have any super power, what would you choose — if it has to be something a human can do? For example, you could have super strength (because humans have strength) but you can’t have invisibility or flight (because humans can’t be invisible or fly).

Becoming invisible at will in and out would definitely be my first choice. However since that is not within the realm of this particular question, I would choose to be able to do mental math without the use of a calculating device.

3. What super power do you already have?

Grumbling. I excel at that.

4. Who was your first celebrity crush?

Carly Simon based on that record album I bought by her in 1972 No Secrets. What a great cover and smile -- and good music inside. You're So Vain.

Second one was Susan Dey in the Partridge Family TV show and fake rock group (thanks to The Wrecking Crew studio musicians who were the actual band in addition to the two cast main singers). She became a better actor by the time L.A. Law showed up in the 1980s.

5. Which politicians do you find physically attractive?

Former Alaska Governor and VP candidate Sarah Palin was hot. I think she still is.  Plus she attended school at UH Hilo and HPU for a few semesters long ago.

Friday 5 for July 4: 🟩⬛⬛🟨⬛ - What in Hell are These green, black and yellow squares?????




Today We Need to Be Thankful That We Live in the Greatest Country on Earth. God Bless The USA.

The strange topic Friday 5 for July 4. What the hell are these green, black and yellow squares.  The URL doesn't work.

http://f.riday5.com/2025/07/04/friday-5-for-july-4-🟩⬛⬛🟨⬛/ - This is stupid.

1. What connections did you make this week? 

After rebooting my Mac I got it to reconnect to the internet again.

2. How would you do in a spelling bee for adults where the other contestants are your average people at the bookstore?

I would probably not do very well, especially if the possibility involves well read people who frequent bookstores. Spellcheck and AI are good friends.

3. When did you most recently keep a cross word to yourself?

Can't remember. A lot of things make me upset.

4. What word’ll best describe your expectations for the coming weekend?

Patriotism. 

5. If you could read the strands of your own DNA, what would you most like to know?

I know enough about myself without having to sink to the expensive DNA level to find anything else.
