Wednesday Mind Hump: January 3, 2007

brought to you by Blogdrive Insanity

Greetings, people! Today's hump is brought to you by Drinking Straw Day. We're just gonna get silly for this one.

1. What's your favorite beverage to suck up through a straw?
mmmm... Coffee Mocha or Chocolate Mint milkshakes from Steak n Shake... or Coffee or Vanilla Bean Coolatta... or a Peppermint Mocha Frappucino from Starbucks...

2. Do you prefer the ordinary straight straws, or the crazy, colorful, twisted straws?
i prefer the straight kind because it's hard enough to suck up the kinds of thick beverages i mentioned above without having to get it to go a further distance! ;-) the crazy straws are fun but defeat the purpose of getting said beverage into my mouth as soon as possible!

3. Do you ever make those loud sucking noises at the end of the drink to annoy other people? And does that annoy you?
i try not to. after working with kids, that sound is almost as bad as nails on a blackboard or a fork scraping on a plate! plus, i don't go out of my way to be annoying, as a rule.

4. Name one thing to do with a drinking straw other than using it to drink.
is there any other purpose more important than serving as the vehicle to get a yummy beverage into my mouth?? i can't think of anything i would rather be doing with the straw!
