11 April 2020


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 memes, however, and here is today's meme!


Saturday 9: The Easter Bunny Bop (2015)


Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This song encourages little ones to celebrate Easter by doing a little dance. Do you feel like dancing this morning?
I'm not sure I even feel like walking this morning.

2) Everyone in this video is wearing bunny ears. Target, Amazon and other retailers sell bunny ear headbands sized for adults and priced at about $5. Will you be wearing bunny ears, or perhaps a more conventional chapeau, this weekend? Or, because of the corona virus, will your Easter attire be the same as any other day?
I will definitely be wearing the same as every other day.

3) This week's featured artists, The Bounce Patrol Kids, are a children's entertainment juggernaut: CDs, DVDs, downloads, and t-shirts. Additionally, they often update their YouTube channel because they want children the world over to have access to their upbeat, energetic songs for free. Besides the Bounce Patrol, what's the last YouTube video you watched?

4) According to Forbes magazine, the average American household spends $20.66 on candy each Easter. Will you be consuming candy this weekend?
No.  If it were not for the coronavirus, I would be getting an e\Easter box from See's to take to my mother...and then share it with her, but I won't be going out of the house...and See's is closed anyway.

5) The biggest chocolate Easter egg was made in Italy, measured 34 feet tall and weighed a staggering 15,000 lbs. Do you thinks it's possible to have too much chocolate?
Actually yes.  I love chocolate, but it is possible to over-indulge.

6) After chocolate, the top-selling Easter candy is Peeps Marshmallow Chicks. They're so popular that, in 2018, they were the subject of a Jeopardy clue. Do you often watch Jeopardy?
First of all, I never understood the appeal of Peeps.  I do not like them.  But as for Jeopardy, we have been watching it nightly forever.  It gets recorded, so if we are not at home, we can watch later.

7) Jelly beans are also popular this time of year. In a 2019 poll, jelly bean fans responded that Jelly Belly Buttered Popcorn is their favorite flavor. Sam is crazy about cherry. Do you have a favorite?
The Jelly Belly factory is near here and I've taken the tour a few times, so get to taste all the oddball things.  Pear is my favorite.

8) We've been talking a lot about sweets this morning. The only holiday that generates more candy sales is Halloween. When do you eat more candy: Easter or Halloween?
Well, we had candy at Easter in my childhood, but in my adulthood, not at all.  I only eat candy on Halloween if we buy it for trick or treaters, which we did not for years, but did this past year, with Ned and Marta here.

9) Easter is considered the season of rebirth. What makes you feel refreshed or rejuvenated?
Knowing that in a 24 hour period of time I have gotten at least 6-8 hours of sleep, even if it is not 6-8 hours in a row.
