Truth is Stranger than Fiction

As I write this, we’re a week away from Thanksgiving, in the US, and just a bit more than half way through NaNoWriMo. Whether you’re participating or not, take a moment to consider the old adage, “Truth is stranger than fiction,” because it’s this week’s Thursday Threesome prompt.

Before we get to that, however, I have to apologize for not posting anything last Thursday. I could come up with a clever excuse, but the reality is that I forgot it was Wednesday night, was swamped on Thursday, and by the time I realized I hadn’t posted, it was Saturday morning. Forgive me?

And now:
Truth is Stranger than Fiction

Onesome – Truth is: What’s the most bizarre true story you know? Even better, what bizarre thing really happened to you?

Twosome – Stranger: We were all taught not to talk to strangers as kids. Do you still avoid them as adults, or are you likely to strike up conversations with interesting-looking people on the bus, subway, or coffee shop?

Threesome – than Fiction: “Reality” shows seem to be dominating the television channels this year. Do you watch them, or do you prefer scripted, purely fictional dramas? When you do watch reality shows, do you ever wonder if what you see is less truth than fiction?

This week’s Thursday Threesome is a redux from the original archive, from November 4th, 2004, specifically…but since it’s a Blustery Day as I write this, it seemed appropriate.

Winnie the Pooh

“It’s snowing still,” said Eeyore gloomily.
“So it is.”
“And freezing.”
“Is it?”
“Yes,” said Eeyore. “However,” he said, brightening up a little, “we haven’t had an earthquake lately.”
–A.A. Milne

Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day

Onesome – Winnie the Pooh: What was your favorite book series as a kid? Was there one you tried to find the complete set to read? …Or maybe just one book you remember well?

Twosome – and the: holidays are just around the corner? Are you ready for things? …or are you too immersed in life to even think about it?

Threesome – Blustery Day: Hey, what do you like to do on a stormy day when you’re not working or in school? Do you curl up with a book? Watch TV? Bake? How do you pass the time when you don’t feel like going “out in it?”

How about you? When you’re ready, post your answers in your own space, and leave a comment here so we can find you!

trick or treat

Trick or treat! Smell my feet! Give me something good to eat!

This is the second of two Halloween-themed Threesomes. When I was a kid, we actually knew all three lines of the “trick or treat” song. This week, we’re breaking it down. Answer the prompts on your own blog, and let us know you’ve done so.

Onesome – Trick or treat: Do you still go trick-or-treating? Do you go for yourself, or to escort a child? If you don’t go trick-or-treating, do you stay home and give out candy?

Twosome – Smell my feet: Are you the type to go barefoot, or do you have to have shoes and socks on, even when you’re lounging around at home?

Threesome – Give me something good to eat: What’s the best thing you’ve ever pulled out of your trick-or-treat bag?
