Saturday 9

The Flintstones Theme

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!

"Meet the Flintstones" (The Flintstones Theme) 

(Recommended by Harriet)

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

1) The song promises that, "When you're with the Flintstones, you'll have a yabba-dabba-doo time." So clearly Wilma was one accomplished hostess. What about you? Do you enjoy having company?

I do!  Especially when I have time to plan for company and make sure to have snacks, drinks, etc.

2) Since lyrics say, "Let's ride with the family down the street/courtesy of Fred's two feet," we're assuming the pedal-powered Flintstone car didn't require much gas. Are you loyal to a particular brand of gas? Or do you fill up with whatever is nearby, or least expensive?

I stick to a particular gas station here in town. 

3) Clearly a sharp-dressed man in stone-age Bedrock wore a long tunic and no pants. What are you wearing right now, as you answer these questions?

My nightgown.  

4) Pebbles Flintstone grew up with Dino the Dinosaur and Baby Puss the Saber-Tooth Cat. Did you have any pets as you were growing up?

We had a lot of different pets.  Cats, dogs, frogs, my step-brother had a snake, a baby alligator, and a chinchilla.  When he got too busy to take care of the chinchilla, he gave him to me :)

5) Mr. Slate is Fred's blustery boss at quarry, and he frequently threatens to fire Fred. Have you ever had a bad-tempered boss?
Yes.

6) It's estimated that during The Flintstones original run (1960-1966), it was viewed by as many adults as kids. Now that you're a grown up, do you still watch cartoons?

I don't watch much but I will be in the same room as my kids are watching them.  I watch enough to know if I approve of the cartoons or not.

7) In 1961, The Flintstones was nominated for a Prime Time Emmy Award as Outstanding Comedy Series. Do you watch awards shows?

No.

8) There are at least two Flintstones-themed amusement parks currently in operation. Do you enjoy scary rides?

Not really.

9) Flintstones Vitamins are still on store shelves. Do you take a vitamin each morning?

I take them at night.  When I was pregnant, my stomach was too sensitive to take my prenatal vitamins in the morning, so I got into the habit of taking them at night.  I still do that with my multi-vitamin.
