On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…
Welcome to Saturday 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!
Saturday 9: My Girl (1965)
Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it here.
1) Temptations' lead singer David Ruffin sings that he has sunshine on a cloudy day. How does the sky look where you are today?
Unfortunately… bright and sunny. We are now in a severe drought. We had a forest fire here that lasted for almost 4 weeks and burned about 300 acres. Not much by western standards but big for east coast fires.
2) He maintains that even when it's cold outside, to him it feels like the month of May. What's your favorite month?
October, I like the fall and the cold weather hasn’t settled in yet.
3) In addition to their vocals, The Temptations were known for their stylish suits and choreography. Are you a better dancer or dresser?
Neither, getting too old to dance and I don’t go to anything fancy.
4) Today, nearly 60 years since it's release, "My Girl" is one of the most popular karaoke songs. Do you know the words?
I probably do, but I haven’t heard the song in ages.
5) The Temptations delighted Mets fans when they performed "My Girl" live at Citi Field during the playoffs last month. The World Series is now over and the 2024 season is on the books. How did your baseball team do?
What team?
6) "My Girl" was written by Ronald White and Smokey Robinson. Smokey grew up with Aretha Franklin, and he's said they played together in the sandbox. When you were little, which playground activity was your favorite: sandbox, jungle gym, swings or slide?
I don’t know if I had a favorite… probably the jungle gym but I will tell what it definitely wasn’t, the overhead bars.
7) In 1965, when "My Girl" topped the charts, Winston Churchill died. One of his favorite sayings was, "I am always ready to learn but I do not always like to be taught." What's something you learned recently?
How to access Squirrel Mail (It is a web-based email server. If you have a domain name you know what I mean (diana@mydomainname.com)) My brother couldn’t get into his email account.
8) British-born comedian Stan Laurel also died in 1965. He's been cited as an influence on Jerry Lewis, Dick Van Dyke and Matt LeBlanc. Without looking it up, do you know who Stan Laurel's famous partner was?
How can you forget it, I think every kid has watched their movies! Well is guess the kids today have no idea what we are talking about.
9) Random question: Imagine we Sat 9-ers are taking you to a restaurant for your birthday. Do you find servers who sing "Happy Birthday" cute or annoying?
I think I would find it more embarrassing more than either of those.
Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!
