The Comeback Challenge Round 54 RESULTS
Go Fork Yourself






What can I say? Something is amiss in my thinking this week. Well, I have an excuse. I decided to do something akin to insanity. I tried to push a wheeled piano across the floor BY MYSELF.



I was fine. Superwoman. Until the next morning.


So between muscle relaxers and pain killers - which gave me scary dreams, no sleep, scary dreams, no sleep, too much sleep, more scary dreams - I'm one brick short of a load. First, did you notice contestants, that there are only 9 questions and a tie-breaker? I left out question 10. Then a contestant wrote to say, Uhh...Mimi.....weren't you going to only do this BI-WEEKLY?
I could only stutter...."Yep." And I really have no reason for completely forgetting my new scheduled blog format and forging ahead again with a weekly competition except that I'm just not thinking! No. Let's just blame it on the muscle relaxers and the bad dreams.



ARRGHHHH! I just hit ENTER and this post published prematurely. STOP.....take it back.....Noooooo. Which is exactly what I said yesterday when I dropped my hair dryer into the toilet. It has been an unusually weird week in many respects. And this in the week we meet the Spoon People. You know it's weird when the contestants are begging me to put down the bleeper before they even start the game. I opened my mail with fear and trepidation yesterday.
But you did make me laugh today and I sure could use one. Now let's see if I have to use that bleeper before it flies in the toilet as well.



I need more drugs.
And don't hate me because you're bleepable...........

Many congrats to Frank! Excellent answers, you deserve the title this week :D

But I'll be back.. ;)

Spinner said...

Congrats Frank. #10 had me rolling on the floor.

Anonymous said...

To Frank (while bowing low): I am not worthy. I am not worthy.

Great responses.

Mimi: Be careful who you're around when you're all drugged up!!

Frank Sirianni said...

Lee, Spinners, Asara thanks I just love doing this game (but I think I may have broke Mimi's bleeper)

Just because two profiles mentioned it, I now pose this question for all to consider. If in North America we "Spoon", what do they do in the Orient, "chop" or "stick"?

Frank Sirianni said...

I know, My Bad.

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

Congrats Frank

Mimi Lenox said...

All were great this week. I thoroughly enjoyed your answers. The Challenge will resume bi-weekly (as I promised)....so I hope to see you next weekend but please read in between for the crazy (and I do mean crazy) bachelors I'm finding. I think I need to sharpen my own snark! You guys are a riot.
