Monday Listicles

Posted on December 18, 2011 | by Bridget | 84 Comments

It’s Monday Listicles with Stasha from The Good Life again! This is my week and I’m super-duper excited to answer the ten questions from Inside The Actor’s Studio. I’m even more excited to read everyone else’s answers! If you don’t have a blog, feel free to answer them in the comments. Special thanks to Stasha for letting me pick the topic this week!!

1. What is your favorite word? Go. As in, go to bed or go, get me some wine. Or in, lights 1, Go.

2. What is your least favorite word? “Eckspecially” It’s especially [ih-spesh-uh-lee]. When people pronounce it incorrectly I have to stop myself from stabbing them in the eye. One of these days I’m going to snap.

3. What turns you on? A sense of humor and good cologne. Dallas never wears cologne, but if he did I’d probably jump him in public spaces.

4. What turns you off? Men in flip-flops or sandals. In the summer men are allowed to wear crocs. Only crocs, everything else is sissy. 

5. What sound do you love? The hush that comes over a theatre right before the play begins.

6. What sound do you hate? Exhaust fans. Especially the ones in the bathroom. We bought an expensive super-silent one and it’s still too loud. I’d rather have mildew grow on the walls.

7. What is your favorite curse word? Motherf*cker

8. What profession other than yours would you like to attempt? Economist. In my last year of undergrad I took an Economics class and loved it. I wish I had taken it my first year, so I would have a degree in Economics instead of Theatre. Then I would have a real job instead of only being qualified to say, “Do you want fries with that?”

9. What profession would you not like to do? Podiatrist. Feet, yuck. Don’t be gross.

10. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates? All are welcome. We’ve got wine.

  1. Stasha says:

    That is a great sound you chose. Those sandals are rather popular around here, more so with socks…
    I lik your version of heaven. Did I tell you I love your blog. Well I do. Great topic Bridget, for real!

  2. Kim Pugliano says:

    Crocks? WTF? Blech. I smell stinky feet. Dallas doesn’t wear cologne? Yeah you may be lucky. Hot Joe makes me feel like a teenager he smells so good with his. Yummmmm. By the way it’s still Sunday.

  3. Greta says:

    That foot picture is DISGUSTING.
    You picked such a fun topic. I just need to hurry up and try to figure out some clever answers!

  4. Bili Burton says:

    I am reading this before bed time. I will probably have nightmares about those toenails.

  5. XLMIC says:

    I can’t believe my podiatrist put pics of my feet on the internet! I pretty much love that curse word, too. And the Ben-Hur sandals…just say “no”. Awesome answers :)

  6. Jo Eberhardt says:

    Great questions. Awesome answers. I’m tempted to answer them myself.

    Plus, we have the same favourite curse word. And the same least favourite sound.

  7. Heather says:

    I am not emotionally stable enough to see that awful foot picture. I had to go back into the garage and cry again.

  8. Bits of Bee says:

    That foot picture made me throw up in my mouth a little bit (I hate feet too), but I loved your topic for this week, so I won’t unfollow ;)
    Great answers!

  9. Amanda says:

    I don’t usually have anything against feet, but Ohmygod that picture makes me want to vomit. And I HATE the word vomit!

  10. Stacey says:

    That foot picture is so, so gross. Ew! And I have to agree whole-heartedly with eckspecially! Great list and great questions. I had fun answering them!!

  11. Autumn says:

    That picture of the yucko feet almost made me throw up! Now as I read some of the previous posts everyone said that, way to go Bridget!

  12. Richelle says:

    1. :)
    2. Add to that, “supposobly”.
    3. Dean doesn’t wear cologne either. However, we discovered that Old Spice “Swagger” deoderant smells like a yummy cologne. People always compliment him on his cologne and ask about it. (And, yes, we joke about the name.)
    4. Plus Crocs can be washed, even sanitized!
    5. Funny, I always seem to notice the lack of silence. ;-)
    6. For me it is a cell phone ringing during a show. No. Wait. Much worse … the sound of someone eating, especially with their mouth open.
    7. True Story: When I was stage managing Gem of the Ocean, the guy playing Solly Two kings kept trying to teach me to say “Motherf*cker” properly (a.k.a. less “white”). I tried. I really did.
    8. But, seriously, DO you want fries with that? (Have yet to genuinely ask that question. *Knock wood* But I was a Barista one summer.)
    9. Also … Proctologist. No photo required.
    10. I’ll bring the corkscrew. Because, in heaven, you can have in wine in bottles and the pretty angel boys magically recycle then with no environmental impact.

  13. Ah- Men in Sandals. Funny thing- I’m always trying to get my hubby into them for comfort but he patently refuses. REFUSES. And now I know why. I never envisioned what my studly man might look like in them. But, now I can- and I have you to thank, Bridget. haha!

  14. haha! the sandals one is sooo my turn off. I cannot handle it.
    Whats worse is socks and sandals!! WTF is that all about??

  15. jacqui says:

    Oh no! Those feet! I’m not a foot fan either…but that’s SO HORRIBLE!! Besides that photo…great list. And great topic.

  16. Jessica says:

    After seeing that picture of the foot I need some more wine.

  17. Kiddothings says:

    Hahah!! That foot picture is seriously gross! I just had to laugh at your pet peeve #2. I can imagine you going mental over that word said wrongly. Btw, you’ll be so put off with men here in Malaysia because many of them are in flip flops, sandals and crocs :D Thanks for such a fab prompt this week! :)

  18. [...] week’s listicles is brought to you by Bridget over at Twinisms. She chose the 10 questions that are asked at the end of the Actor’s Guild…..should be [...]

  19. That picture is just…yuck! That would be a most awful job. I hate feet…even my own ;)
    I love cologne too :)

  20. Jackie says:

    Crocs, really? That would be a turn off in my book. Crocs should only be worn if you work in a restaurant or a hospital. I love a man in flip flops in the summer! Of course, his toes cannot look like those in that photo!!

  21. Lenore says:

    Now that you mention it – one of my turn offs is men that wear … *looks side to side to make sure no one is looking* loafers without socks. (I’m also turned off by men’s loafers with tassels.) I know, the look is popular and enjoyed by many. As for me? Barf.

    Your list is excellent!

  22. Bari says:

    Economist, really -wow!
    Love “go”!

  23. That is QUITE a picture!

    Great list! Thanks for prompting us!

  24. Nami says:

    That’s a good pick for favorite sound – never occurred to me how quiet hundreds of people can be for two small seconds. Somebody should loop that.

  25. After seeing those toenails, I may never be turned on again.

    (Sorry, Bill. Try some cologne. And be funny, will ya? We’ll give this a shot later.(

  26. (Sorry for the lame comment. Bill walked in while I was typing and I panicked.)

    I know. I’m not a turn on.

    But I have wine.

  27. Jessica says:

    Ugh. I can’t un-see that foot picture. lol And yes, amen to wine!

  28. meredith says:

    All are welcome. We have wine…I love that answer. Most people give the, You’ve done good with your time on earth answer…I know I haven’t, and if they were honest they might say the same so I’m adopting your answer :)

  29. [...] (thank you, Stasha!) comes from “Inside the Actor’s Studio,” via Bridget at Twinisms.  Given that my chances of ever appearing on Actors’ Studio are precisely nil, this list is [...]

  30. Brooke says:

    A, thank you for taking out the u, nice censorship. Two, Crocs? Don’t YOU be gross. and D, I think I owe you 3 bucks now.

  31. Katie says:

    I swallowed my last bite of pizza as I scrolled down to those nasty feet. I am so glad I was done because I can’t eat for a while after that. I nearly hurled as it is!

  32. Lance says:

    nice to know about the Twin Queen…i did this survey once, here’s my answers:

    http://lancemyblogcanbeatupyourblog.wordpress.com/2010/12/21/inside-the-bloggers-studio/

  33. Love it! Except for that nasty toenail pic. Gag.
    My huz is a no-sandals guy. Crocs are out too.
    Of course heaven has wine, right? But no hangovers!

  34. Robyn says:

    As a single girl….no Croc wearing guy for me..rather him in flops!

  35. Melissa says:

    Okay, between that picture of male feet in sandals and that toe nails gone wild picture, I am scheduling a pedicure asap! lol

    I agree about exhaust fans, too! The one above the microwave drives me crazy. It’s a good thing I rely on that microwave so much or I would have shot it by now!

  36. RoryBore says:

    ok – those cannot be human feet!? seriously? Was waiting for someone to mention the “mofo”. So agreed with the fan noise….my mother has the loudest one on the planet I think – I disconnect it when I am there.

  37. —Fabulous.

    I LOVE this part of the Actor’s Studio.

    Yes. I hope there in Wine in Heaven :) ))

  38. Audrey says:

    Feet are disgusting!!!!! Yuck!

  39. Christin says:

    Ok, I will play. 1. Favorite word: Thanks. Simple but means to much. 2. Least favorite word: Good-bye. I usually say see you soon. 3. Turn-on: Sexy arms in a fitted shirt. 4. turn-off: Stinky breath. 5. Fav sound: My kids belly laughs. 6. least fav sound: Storms. Especially thunder. 7. curse word: I too am a MotherF… fan. 8. Profession I’d like: Teaching. High school or elementary school. Middle schoolers are annoying. 9. Profession I’d hate: ER doctor. Imagine the pressure! 10. God would say…’Welcome to forever, your wish is your reality.’

  40. That picture just made me throw up a little in my mouth. Think wine will wash it out? Oh damn, I’m pregnant, can’t drink.

    Thanks for picking a fun prompt!

  41. Dan says:

    1. Favorite word: Yes; 2. Least favorite word: Goodbye; 3. Turn-on: My wife’s ass in her fitted jeans; 4. Turn off: when my wife says she has a “headache”; 5. Fav sound: My daughter’s voice, even when she’s being the biggest brat; 6. Least fav sound: Crying; 7. Curse word: F#%k-there is nothing more eloquent in the English language than a well placed F#%k; 8. Profession I’d like: Astronaut or Stay at home dad, they both offer the same amount of challenge; 10. God would say: We have a front row seat to watch over your family, and beer.

  42. I love your take on heaven! What a peaceful vision.

  43. Janice says:

    Ewww….gross feet picture!!! Definitely would NOT like to be a podiatrist. Just looking at that pic makes me not want to see any one’s feet at all! Yucky!

  44. ava says:

    Okay, I get how you don’t want to be a podiatrist. And you are so right on “sense of humor” as a big turn on B.
