PAST: Most of us moved around a bit as children, but most people I’ve talked to about it remember one particular place as being “home.” What was home to you, growing up?

PRESENT: What is it about your present home that drew you to it, and what makes it a great place to live?

FUTURE: You’ve won the lottery! Hooray! Now, get out there and build your dream house. And, of course, tell us all about it.

All settled in nice and comfy? Then relax, leave a comment with your answers or a link thereto, and if you link back to the PPF use the permalink provided below. Thanks once again!

PAST: Everybody loves signs and portents and mystery. (It’s also axiomatic that “everybody generalizes.” Or is that oxymoronic? Anyway. Let’s move along, then.) A fair number of us like to define other people based on what sign they were born under. So hey baby, what’s your sign?

PRESENT: What do you think about this Mars thing, eh? Is it cool or what?

FUTURE: You’re on the committee to officially put some new mythical creatures into the Zodiac. (Those old ones were getting boring, wouldn’t you say?) Give us a taste of what Zodiac II will include. C’mon, cut loose.

A hearty “Thank you!” goes out to Wendi for contributing this week’s Future entry. You know the drill, folks: Leave a comment and link back using the URL shown below. And most importantly, have fun with the questions!

PAST: Were you the class clown, the practical joker, the witty one or did all of your humor come out in your writing? Or perhaps none of the above? What was your form of comedic expression as a child?

PRESENT: This one’s easy. Which do you find the funnier comedy troupe, the Three Stooges or the Marx Brothers?

FUTURE: Pick your clever, snarky epitaph.

Okay, so maybe death isn’t funny, but lots of other things in life are. You know what else is funny? That so many people read the PPF and may even answer it, but don’t leave a comment here so other folks know where to find ’em. But you’re not like one of those jokers, are you? Yeah. And when you link back here, please use the usual link address: http://greyduck.net/ppf. Thanks!

PAST: What truly bad-for-you snacky treat were you addicted to as a child?

PRESENT: As adults we’re supposed to be responsible, watch our diet carefully, blah blah blah. It would be boring if we did that all the time, wouldn’t it? Go on, share with us your guilty-pleasure snack food.

FUTURE: I haven’t pushed your creative boundaries lately, so how about you describe a brand new snacky-treat that you’ll become famous for throughout the land?

This week’s PPF is brought to you by Henry’s root beer, a bag of Wavy Lay’s chips and some french onion (with bacon) dip. No, I won’t be kissing anybody tonight, don’t worry. As always I implore you to comment with your answers or a link thereto, and if you link back please use http://greyduck.net/ppf. Thank you!

PAST: Do you remember that time, some time ago, when that thing happened? You know, that one time?

PRESENT: Does it annoy you when people around you are absent-minded, or are you the absent-minded one?

FUTURE: If I forget to get the PPF up on Thursday night again, will you please remember to smack me upside the head? Please?

Yes, I forgot. Argh. Hey, don’t forget to leave a comment, or to link back here via this URL: http://greyduck.net/ppf

PAST: Sometimes it’s amazing the creatures we found fascinating as children that we’re either indifferent to now or even find actively disgusting and creepy. In my case, I am astounded when I think about those lazy summer days trapping garden spiders in jars. (Yeah, it’s making my flesh crawl just thinking about it.) Do you have a similar experience, or am I on my own here?

PRESENT: This week’s dull and prosaic question is, what creatures great and small do you care for in or around your home?

FUTURE: “If I could talk to the animals, walk with the animals…” Well, what would you say to them? That is, of course, if you thought for a minute that they were even remotely interested.

Leave your cute, cuddly-wuddly link or your precious, fuzzy-wuzzy answers in the comments just below. And when you send people back here, use the http://greyduck.net/ppf link to be sure they get the latest one. Thanks once again!
