Lynn stole my favorite knock knock joke.  I don't have another one.

Cash! Cash who? No thanks, but I'd like some peanuts!

That's not even a question. I am a ruthless bitch when my blood sugar drops and I'm hungry.

rediculous - Re- DIC*K- I - lis : I choose to pronounce it this way - I'm well aware that it's not correct.

 Vacuuming. Ironing. Putting away laundry. I don't have a problem doing the damn laundry - or even folding it. But putting it away is such a PITA.

jaycee7389

Worcestershire! This is definitely one for me as well. I had an embarrassing moment as a waitress once with that word.

Beth, that's exciting! It's funny though because people with hard to pronounce last names probably feel the opposite.

People always pronounce BF's last name...which is sad because it's just pronounced phonetically.

1.  You say "knock knock," I say "who's there?"  What comes next?  (i.e. give me your favorite knock knock joke.)
Everyone already took the only ones I know

2.  If you had to change your last name today, what would you change it to.  You can't pick your SO's last name.

I would choose to not have a last name. I would be like Cher and just be known by my first name.

3.  Do you get grouchy when you're hungry?

Yep. I have to bring snacks with me in my purse because I get so cranky and miserable. BF hides snacks in the car just so I don't get hungry, he tries to prevent any grouchiness before it happens.

4.  Is there a word you just can't pronounce (or insist on pronouncing incorrectly even though you know better)?

I'm with Bri on this one. I can absolutely not say Ambulance properly, and Binoculars. Those are the hardest words to say.

5.  What's your least favorite household chore?

Dishes. They will sit in the sink for a week before I do them. Fortunately we have a dishwasher and everything goes in there.

eirwyn

1.  You say "knock knock," I say "who's there?"  What comes next?  (i.e. give me your favorite knock knock joke.)

Interrupting cow, but now I love interrupting starfish better. Just reading that made me laugh.

2.  If you had to change your last name today, what would you change it to.  You can't pick your SO's last name.

Baker, Smith, Jones, etc. I have a Polish last name, so it would be awesome to have a last name I don't have to spell or pronounce.

3.  Do you get grouchy when you're hungry?

Oh lord, yes. I always keep snacks in my purse when we travel, just in case we can't stop to eat on schedule. I turn into a raging, seething monster when my sugar gets low. BF can always tell when I'm cranky-cranky vs. hungry-cranky, mostly because I snap and growl at the stupidest things.

4.  Is there a word you just can't pronounce (or insist on pronouncing incorrectly even though you know better)?

I talk like a Canadian, so anything with "ou" gives me trouble. I don't say "aboot", but it's damn close. I've tried so hard to say "about", but my mouth simply will not form the word.

For Worcestershire, it helps to think of it as "wooster-sure". Otherwise, my tongue trips over it.

5.  What's your least favorite household chore?

Dishes and sweeping/vacuuming. BF does those, and I do everything else.

Orubeondo. It's my ex's last name- but I think it's awesome.

3. Do you get grouchy when you're hungry?
 

4. Is there a word you just can't pronounce (or insist on pronouncing incorrectly even though you know better)?
I used to not be able to say buttons, but I think I'm pretty good at it now.

5. What's your least favorite household chore?
I can't seem to ever get clean laundry put away.

In Response to Thursday Questions.:
1.  You say "knock knock," I say "who's there?"  What comes next?  (i.e. give me your favorite knock knock joke.) Orange.
 
2.  If you had to change your last name today, what would you change it to.  You can't pick your SO's last name. O'Donough, the old traditional way of spelling Donahue. So people stop jokingly calling me Phil.  

3.  Do you get grouchy when you're hungry? Yes, very. Just ask bf.
 
4.  Is there a word you just can't pronounce (or insist on pronouncing incorrectly even though you know better)?  L'Enfant. I pronouce it "Len-fant" apparently it's "Le-fant" Umm, where did the other letters go?

5.  What's your least favorite household chore? dishes. really hope I get better at them since the new house has a dishwasher.

Yeah- it was on the bestseller's list before it was even released because of presales! I think I need to get it on my kindle....but I have like 5 other books I need to read first.

1.  You say "knock knock," I say "who's there?"  What comes next?  (i.e. give me your favorite knock knock joke.)

Interrupting cow.... MOOOOOOO (kinda similar to yours, Elle!)

2.  If you had to change your last name today, what would you change it to.  You can't pick your SO's last name.

St. Laurent. It was DH's grandfather's last name when he came to America.

3.  Do you get grouchy when you're hungry?

Hell yes.

4.  Is there a word you just can't pronounce (or insist on pronouncing incorrectly even though you know better)?
I don't think so, though I often get crap from people about how I say complimentary, elementary, and documentary (which a long 'a' at the end). I stand by the fact that the way I pronounce those words are correct in the dictionary. (ooh, see how dictionary has that long 'a'... mmm hmmm)

5.  What's your least favorite household chore?

All of them. Hence my best girl Letitia visiting me once month.

I actually just checked and am glad it's actually available on kindle.  I have a few other books I want to read too, but this one I may bump up the list.

1.  You say "knock knock," I say "who's there?"  What comes next?  (i.e. give me your favorite knock knock joke.) 
Boo.

Boo Who?

It is just a knock knock joke, no reason to cry about it.

2.  If you had to change your last name today, what would you change it to.  You can't pick your SO's last name.
Well, since we've got some Harry Potter themes going on here, I'll just be a rebel (since I am a Slytherin after all) and go with Voldemort. (Yeah, its not his real last name, but it would be mine!)

3.  Do you get grouchy when you're hungry?
Yup.

4.  Is there a word you just can't pronounce (or insist on pronouncing incorrectly even though you know better)?
Neither and Either. When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking, the second does the walking, and the first says its name.

5.  What's your least favorite household chore?
Cleaning the toilets. For some reason looking into a toilet bowl makes me want to gag (even if it is clean).

Beth, I nearly died of laughter from your new sig pic!

1.  You say "knock knock," I say "who's there?"  What comes next?  (i.e. give me your favorite knock knock joke.)

Says who?

Says me!  That's who.

2.  If you had to change your last name today, what would you change it to.  You can't pick your SO's last name.

Blucher (u with an umlaut), and I want cows to neigh every time someone says my new last name.

3.  Do you get grouchy when you're hungry?

Grouchy and indecisive, basically a PITA, and I know it.

4.  Is there a word you just can't pronounce (or insist on pronouncing incorrectly even though you know better)?

I'm with you ladies with Worchestire sauce.  However, I don't care because even if I could pronounce it, I would still say it as if I was part of that Abbott and Costello routine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9b8oEcFmQD0 (around 2:20 for reference)

5.  What's your least favorite household chore?
