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: Kung Fu Fighting (1974)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) Have you ever taken a martial arts class? No, I never have taken a martial arts class.
2) In this song, Carl Edwards sings about funky Chinatown. Many cities – including San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Vancouver, London and Antwerp – have a Chinatown. Have you ever visited Chinatown?
Yes, I have visited Chinatown in New York City many times and had a nice time.
3) Many Chinese restaurants give out fortune cookies. Can you recall one of your fortunes? No, I don't remember any fortunes. I used to take my kids to a Chinese restaurant near us all the time, It was a beautiful place.
4) This week's featured artist, Carl Edwards, was born in Jamaica, spent his childhood in the US, and relocated to England. Have you ever lived abroad? No, I have not lived abroad but a good protion of my family do.
5) In 1974 he became the first Jamaican to have a #1 hit in the US with this song. Have you been to Jamaica? No, never visited Jamaica mon. I am kind of leary about the Bermuda triangle as my sister in laws first hubby, who was a Navy pilot, disappeared in the triangle.
6) When this week's song was on the charts, ABC TV had a hit with the show Kung Fu. Today it's available to stream. Were you a fan? I wasn't really a fan but I did see a few episodes back in the day.
7) Also in 1974, the FIFA World Cup was played in West Germany. Have you been following the FIFA World Cup this year? I am not a fan of sports really. I Have followed the remarks of tourists who just love the USA and who felt lied to by their media about the USA. It was nice to hear how much they loved it here.
8) Two of 1974's most popular toys were popular with adults, too. Would you prefer a Rubik's Cube or a Magic 8 Ball? A Rubik's cube.
9) Random question: Have you ever cut someone else's hair? Yes, I've cut a lot of people's hair over the years.
The sky is yellow... and we have a lot of smoke right now. Poor Canada...!
Hopefully the rain will get rid of some of that smoke
ReplyDeleteWell, we have a tropical low off the Gulf here...we have been getting some really bad storms. Wishing you a beautiful day, Annie.
ReplyDeletep.s. We have been to Bermuda, when we had a boat many many many years ago, was it scary? It was just weird...I am sorry about your sister in-law's husband.
DeleteI've always wondered about the Bermuda Triangle. I watched another documentary about it just a few nights ago, always interesting. and a little scary.
ReplyDeleteYes, let's hope and pray that this smoke clears and that our Canadian friends are safe, too. I loved the positive reactions of our foreign visitors, too! Blessings, Annie!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed those stories of the people from other countries visiting for FIFA. I think they had so much fun. One of the stories they did here was from the games in Kansas City and how a person in Kansas City was planning a trip to one of the countries that was there visiting. He said that they became like family to his family and they wanted to go visit them.
ReplyDeleteI hope the fires clear up soon. I watch a YouTuber that is having the smoke too. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend.
