Saturday 9

Sugar Shack

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: Sugar Shack

This song was popular 50 years ago today. Hear it here.

1) In this song, our hero orders espresso. What's your standard coffee order?

I drink coffee at home mostly, and I have it with Crème Brulee creamer.  Once in a blue moon I'll get a mocha frappe at BK.
2) Originally the phrase "sugar shack" meant a small cabin where sap from maple trees was boiled into syrup. So for breakfast today, would you rather pour syrup on pancakes, french toast or waffles?

Pancakes.
3) The name of the group that recorded this song is The Fireballs. "Fireballs" is also the brand name of a red hot jawbreaker. Do you like cinnamon?

I do.
4) In 1963, when this song was a hit, newscaster Walter Cronkite was one of the most trusted and influential men in the country. Do you have a favorite TV newsperson?

Our local weather man, Jon Shaner.
5) The Rambler was named 1963 Car of the Year by Motor Trend, and their most popular model was a 9-passenger station wagon. What's the car of your dreams?

I don't really have one.  I drive a Trail Blazer, and it's nice, but I wish it was a little bigger.
6) The Zip Code was first introduced in 1963. How many different Zip Codes have you had throughout your life?

Three or four.
7) What was the first thing you thought about when you woke up this morning?

That if it weren't for having to go to the bathroom, I might have been able to sleep longer :P

8) Are you a good pool player?

I like to play  but I'm not that good.

9) Do you actually make a wish when you blow out your birthday candles?

Yes. :)
