Put the Lime in the Coconut...

 

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 to answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions!

Saturday 9: Coconut (1971)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

This month Saturday 9 will be tasty, featuring songs with food in the title.

1) This song is about a woman who complains of a belly ache. How's your tummy this morning?

Doing just dandy thanks.

2) She responds to this malady by calling the doctor. What if you chose to address the problem yourself? Are there currently any OTC digestive aids in your medicine chest? 

No.

3) Coconut was once a popular ice cream flavor, but no more. It's not on the list of top sellers at Baskin Robbins or Cold Stone. When you last had ice cream, what flavor was it?

Real vanilla

4) Coconut remains popular in baking. It's easy to find recipes for coconut pie, coconut cheesecake, coconut cookies ... you get the idea. Have you recently tried a new recipe? If yes, how did it turn out?

Not tried anything new in a while but usually they turn out very well.   I love coconut cake!  I like coconut cream pie too.

5) This week's featured artist, Harry Nilsson, was a well known free spirit. He liked to party and had a reputation for not adhering to a schedule. Therefore it's a little surprising that one of his first jobs was in the conservative atmosphere of a small bank. Do you prefer a more structured workplace? 

Doesn't matter much to me though I usually worked in very structured environments.

6) Harry met Micky Dolenz when The Monkees recorded his song, "Cuddly Toy" and they became fast and life-long friends. Can you think of someone you met and quickly "clicked" with?

My friend Katie.  We have been friends for almost 40 years.

7) In 1971, when this song was on the radio, detective shows were popular on TV. Mannix, Ironside and Cannon were all in the Top 20. Do you think you'd make a good private investigator?

Yes. You can find out things about just about anyone. There really is no such thing as privacy on the net today.

8) England's Princess Anne turned 21 in 1971 and the occasion was commemorated with an official portrait taken by fashion photographer Norman Parkinson. Who took the most recent photo of you?

Probably one of the kids.   

9) Random question: You can redecorate any one room in your home, money is no object. But only one room. Which room do you pick?

My kitchen, hands down. It is in serious need of fixing from floor to ceiling. Rusting sink, compromised and tilting, sagging countertops, broken up ceramic tile floors.

Movie Night!

I would like to see the  streaming movie Masters of the Universe with my kids.

3. Is there a book/movie/TV program you often think about or that effects you in some way?

I often think of a few like Northern Exposure. One episode where Marilyn goes on vacation and one in which a bear falls in love with Janine Turner played by Maggie O'Connell.  I really loved that series.
