Why Lobsters Don't Wear Socks...

At Yet Another Period Drama Blog there's an open "random question tag" that I've decided to do. :)

Question #1........out of 11

• Who's your least favorite literary heroine?

Well I have read hundreds and hundreds of books so I can' t really say...
I recently read the book Masnfield Park and although I liked the book I really didn't like Fanny.
Her character annoyed me. I'm not really sure why though. Have you read it? What did you think?

• Did you read the American Girl books when you were younger? Which series was your favorite? Which book?

   Yes I did read them. I think out of all the ones I read I probably liked either the Kirsten books or the Josfina books. I can't remember than them well enough to say which individual book I liked best... 

• You're having a friend over who has never seen a single period drama in her life. Which one do you choose for her indoctrination?

What a hard question.... I'm choosing out of three.
                                              #1 Little Woman

 

#2 Emma

 

#3 Gone With the Wind

 

I would probably have to choose Gone With the Wind.

• Raspberries or strawberries? Why?    

           Strawberries of course! :)

 

 

   

Why? Because they're aboslutely, wonderfully, incredibly, scrumptiously delicous!

Don't you agree?

• What's your favorite cartoon movie?

Peter Pan!!!! :):):)

• Who is your favorite singer?

 Dean Martin....

• When do you start listening to Christmas music?

December 1st..usually. You?

• Which was the best birthday of your life so far and why?

 ummmmmmmmmmm........... My birthday this year was pretty good...
I had a delicious breakfast and I got an expensive purse and lots of things. It was pretty good! :)

• Why did Mr. Gibson marry Hyacinth Horror Kirkpatrick? Explain your answer in 200 words or less and don't forget footnotes. If you haven't read/seen Wives and Daughters, write a two-paragraph essay on why lobsters don't wear socks.

Unfortuantely, I've never seen or read Wives and Daughters, so I am stuck writing a two paragraph essay on why lobsters don't wear socks......

                                       Why Lobsters Don't Wear Socks!
     
    Why don't lobsters wear socks? Well, of course there's the obvious reason... Lobsters have such pointy claws they would surley poke right through even the thickest socks. However; the claws on a lobster could be called hands, not feet. In this case, one would have to find 8, little socks to put on the lobster's tiny feet. Even so If one looks closely at a lobsters two front feet he will find that they have tiny claws at the end; so, it would be quite impossible for a lobster to wear socks.

If the lobsters didn't have claws you would still have a problem. If you haven't noticed (which I'm sure you have) the majority of the lobster population seem to favor the color red, and occasionally brown. There are over a million lobsters in the world and (its just an assumption) I don't think that there are enough brown and red socks for all the 8 feet for all the millions of lobsters in this world. So, I would have to say that those are two pretty good reasons for lobsters not to wear socks.

                           If you read all of that your either very nice or very weird!     
    

• Who would you rather have tea with, Miss Bates or Mrs. Bennet?

Oh my, What a question! I think I would have to say Miss Bates because she is nicer than Mrs. Bennet.

• What is the ugliest/most unflattering dress or outfit you've ever seen on a period drama? How would you have dressed the character who was so unfortunate as to wear it?

Caroline Bingley's dress in Pride and Prejudice.
This may not be very least favorite out of all the period dramas I've seen, but I really think this dress is ugly and it's very un-flattering! I don't think I would re-dress this character because it fits her un-flattering personality.

I'm going to cheat and not make up 11 new questions like I'm supposed to, so if you want to do this tag you can just use the same questions! :)
