Saturday9 and Saturday Komeekz

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!

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

1) Lesley Gore premiered this song on an episode of Batman. She played Pussycat, the protegee of Catwoman. (That explains her outfit in the video.) How many of Batman's nemeses can you name?
A. The only two I can recall are the characters portrayed by Jack Nicholson and Danny Devito.

2) At least five actors have played The Caped Crusader already (Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale) and Ben Affleck will play him in 2016's Batman vs. Superman. Who is your favorite Batman? (If any Batmen were inadvertently omitted, Sam apologizes.)
A. That would be Val Kilmer.  I just love that actor.  He's great in just about anything he does.  One movie he was in that you've probably never heard of, and in which he starred, was, "Thunder Heart"

3) Unlike most superheroes, Batman doesn't have any superpowers. This Saturday, you're more fortunate. We're bestowing any superpower on you that you want. Which would you like?
A. Wah!  Just one?  OK. Invisibility.  Now if I could have flight while wearing a cloaking suit, that would be better than any amount of chocolate, really.

4) Though she's singing of warm California nights, Lesley Gore was a New Yorker, born in Brooklyn and, in February of this year, dying in Manhattan. Which coast have you spent more time on, the West Coast or the East Coast?
A. Lesley Gore is dead?  I wanna cry!  She was too young!  A moment of Silence.........

To answer the question, I'm fully acclimated to the West Coast.   If re-incarnation was a fact, I'd come back here, over and over, until this whole coast - or the human race - was gone, I guess.

5) Not many people know that while she was making records, Lesley was also a student at Sarah Lawrence and graduated with her BA in 1968. What's something we would be surprised to know about you?
A. I'm really an Extra terrestrial but then I'm sure some of you knew that already.  Watch my eyes... did you see it?  Really, I'm too ordinary for words.

6) In 1967, when this song was popular, the best selling new camera in the United States was the new Polaroid Swinger. Think about the most recent photo you took. Did you use a camera, a tablet, or a phone?
A.  I used a Canon teensy.  It's Spy cam.  Lol!  I told you.... Actually I just came to this planet for the chocolate and the Cadillac Margaritas.

7) The big fashion trend of 1967 was bright tights, in shades like Hot Pink, Shock Orange and Grass Green. Tell us about something you wore when it was trendy but now you look back and think, "Oh, God, that was awful!"
A.  O God!  I missed it!  Let's see, trendy.....  I never saw a polka dot I didn't like.

I still love them

8) In 1967, drivers complained about "gas wars." The price  was unpredictable and would rise and fall, day by day, as much as 30¢ per gallon. How much does it cost you to fill up your tank today?
A.  Probably about $50.  But then there is the RV.  That thing is awesomely expensive to fill.  We take it once a year somewhere and PARK it.  We were going to buy an old schoolbus and rip out all the seats and just bolt handy things to the floor but our Rockhound friends talked us out of that.

I still think this is a very cool MakeOver.
It's probably heavier than The Dome at Yosemite... probably.

9) Random question: Are there dishes in your kitchen sink right now?
A. Wow, that IS really random....  Have to check. Brb...

The flower pot is soaking to get it cleaned for a new plant.


The words from our hostess, Sam:
