Okay. #100 is OFFICIALLY checked off the list!
#80-Figure out why everyone has suddenly started using the word “fierce.”
The winner of Project Runway, a reality show on the Bravo network, this year was Christian. And his catch-phrase was “That’s fierce!”
The SNL parody skit soon followed.
~Timmy~
Timmy, you are aiding in the fulfillment of this list.
Via today’s comments: 2 down, 98 to go.
(Do you watch Project Runway? How do you know these things? Also, how did you make the word “Christian” a link? It must be all of your computer nerdery. No – hear me out – I am jealous of these skills.)
1) I am 73 for 100 on your list, a solid C-, or 78 if you count the bonus, then a C+.
2)I am totally copying 95, those are amazing.
3)I bet you didn’t know I had a hybrid gladiola named after me in Central Asia? True fact.
4) Regarding the giftwrap drawer. I used to want one of those. Then it morphed into a whole dresser of giftwrap- be careful, they grow:)
Christian’s actual phrase was, “that’s so fierce” :)
GREAT show… try it out.
if you get a brownie mix named after you, i hope this will be your slogan:
“they are the color of poop!”
sound familiar?
Wow Becca. Way to leave uplifting comments – ones that point to beauty and grace.
No bathroom talk on my blog. None.
hey, if i remember correctly, that phrase was first used AGAINST ME. totally unprovoked!
furthermore, they first were uttered from your own lips. so i refuse to take it back.
these are awesome… and I love the photo. Ashely’s work?
And I crack up at the comments – it’s amazing how derailed they get.
See you Tuesday on your couch.
