survey

We were having a discussion at work today that inspired this survey.  All of us have taken it... now it's your turn!

Have you ever heard the word "tomfoolery"?

If so, please use it in a sentence or define it.

HP4: Part 2

Chapter 15-16
I love that, when Karkaroff asks Dumbledore how he is, Dumbledore says he's "blooming."  Awesome.
I think it's funny that people don't know anything about the Tournament.  It seems a little weird to me that someone would say, This huge, historic event is coming to your school!, and that not even Hermione would've bothered to find out what it was - at least a little.  For example - the Goblet of Fire doesn't seem like it should've been a mystery to Hermione, of all people.  Oh well :)
I love that Hermione "unearthed a large talon" in Hagrid's beef casserole :)

Berries & Cream: Part II

For those of you who liked my last post, perhaps you will also appreciate this awesome one that I found when I was searching for the last one.  My favorite parts are when he says "Ha ha" after the third step and when he says "Whee!" after the fourth step.  This is awesome :D

Berries & Cream

I saw a picture today that reminded me of this commercial that I love so much.  
Enjoy.
(Just know you won't enjoy it as much as I do.)

"Knock three times on the ceiling..."

Sometimes I get songs stuck in my head.
When that happens, I usually listen to them - satisfy the craving - and then
it's not stuck in my head anymore.
But other times, I listen to it to satisfy the craving, and then I still
have it stuck in my head.  And I want to keep listening to it.
I try not to do that at work, since other people can
hear what I'm listening to.
But sometimes I can't help it! And then I wonder if my boss ever hates
my music or thinks I'm crazy for listening to the same song 
a couple times in a row.

I love this song:

HP4: Part 1

Thoughts on Harry Potter 4:
Chapter 1-4
Why did Voldemort decide to live in the Riddles' old house instead of wherever he'd been before?
"Whispers followed him wherever he went."  - What are people STILL whispering about?
When Harry told the Dursleys that he had a convicted murderer as a godfather, why did they believe him?
"Dudley had reached roughly the size and weight of a young killer whale."
Why is Hermione always at the Weasleys' house?

Chapters 5-9
My question is, how tall is Stoneshead Hill?  Harry's legs were seizing up when they got to the top... And also, why were the tufts of grass black?
"I like a healthy breeze round my privates, thanks!" hahahahaa :D

Chapter 10-13
Stephen Fry (the narrator of this one that's on youtube) always sounds like he has a stuffy nose.
I always thought it was funny when Molly puts a piece of toast in Amos's head in the fire. :)
Ron slammed the door so hard that the glass shattered?  Either he slammed it super hard, or that glass is pretty thin...
Why did they leave Peeves out of the movies?  He's so awesome!
"Transfiguration is never to be used as a punishment!" "Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret..."

Chapter 14-15
I wonder what Moody did to the witch who said "Boo" behind him on April Fools' Day...
When I read about all the excitement that goes on during preparations for the Tournament, it totally makes me wish I could go to Hogwarts :)
