Holiday Surprise: A Quiz

[figmo]

Warren walked into my bedroom Wednesday morning.

"Look! It's bright green!" He held the object in his hand out for me to see.

Now...guess what the object was?

I so do not want to go there. ;)

Hint: Note that I didn't say I went to get a closer look....

[howeird]

If it was bright green, I don't think you would want to get a closer look
:-)

[figmo.livejournal.com]

Note that I never said I did want to get a closer look.

[hitchhiker.livejournal.com]

not going there either!

[Scotty] "I don't know what it is.... but it's ....green...." [/Scotty]

[katyhh.livejournal.com]

Wasn't that Data? :)

[pbristow.livejournal.com]

SCOTTY: "What is it?"

DATA: "It is..."

[Slightly puzzled frown at lack of label. Enquiring sniff of contents.]

DATA: "It is - "

[Sudden doubtful frown. Slower, more careful sniff. Slight pause.]

DATA: "It is green."

=:o}

Actually it was both! There was a TOS episode where Scotty or Chekov or someone said it (I forget who was giving him the drink or what it was; something Klingon?) and then a TNG episode where Data said it to Scotty. One of those cute instances of TNG making a little homage to the original. :)

It's grrrreen!

Scotty was trying to get an alien (from Andromeda, I believe) drunk in order to overwhelm it with human sensation. Of course, you can't leave an alien to drink alone, so Scotty was getting good & smashed right along side him.

Let's see - a "mood ring"?

[figmo.livejournal.com]

Um, no, but that beats the (incorrect) food guesses.

[peteralway.livejournal.com]

It must have been a ten-year-old grilled cheese sandwich with an image of the virgin Mary.

[figmo.livejournal.com]

No.

Hint: It was never edible.

[cellio]

Please tell me this did not involve a previously-white dog. :-)

[figmo.livejournal.com]

It didn't. The involved dog was still white. :-)

[mrlogic.livejournal.com]

Was this a dog-byproduct of some kind?

[jikme.livejournal.com]

Leftover spaghetti squash with browned butter and myzithra cheese?

[figmo.livejournal.com]

No. Hint: It was never edible.

[scottscidmore.livejournal.com]

Three of the most likely choices would be (partially covered already) something from the fridge, something with a high efficiency green LED in it, or a bowl of lime jello.

I've seen a number of other less common things things that were bright green, several couldn't be carried in one hand and are highly doubtful in this case besides.

[figmo.livejournal.com]

Nope. This thing had never been alive.

[scottscidmore.livejournal.com]

Ah, but the other two I mentioned were never alive. The ones I didn't describe were so.

Reading more resent posting ... uhg, I haven't been to Archie's recently, so I can't guess something from there because I don't know if they have anything of that shade and size.

[figmo.livejournal.com]

You've probably been to Archie's more recently than I have. The last time I was in Seattle I resisted the temptation to make the pilgrimage there, instead opting for raiding a local Cash and Carry store of its sugar-free DaVinci Gourmet syrups.

[mrlogic.livejournal.com]

*guesses unhappily* a blob of hacked-up mucus?

[figmo.livejournal.com]

Wrong shade of green.

[firecat]

Oh, so the thing that was living in my nose moved to Warren's, eh?

[figmo.livejournal.com]

Um, no. You're imagining the wrong shade of green.

[vixyish.livejournal.com]

Lizard, frog, or other reptile or amphibian?

[figmo.livejournal.com]

I've seen those kinds of animals that color, but this thing had never been alive.

[jikme.livejournal.com]

Was it one of those glowing orb thingies for tracking your stock portfolio, weather changes, etc.?

[figmo.livejournal.com]

*Giggle*

That thing's pretty cool.

The thing Warren showed me was a darker shade of green (I'd say forest or kelly) and much smaller.

[skreeky]

"Don't go there."
"Sorry, honey, I *live* there."

I have heard tales that there is a certain type of black lemonade that turns one's shit so very bright green that more than one person has been known to come running out of the bathroom yelling "You guys have to see this!"

Please tell me this bears no resemblance to what was happening.

[figmo.livejournal.com]

It wasn't his, and it wasn't caused by black lemonade.
