The Saturday:9....

Black Is Black

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: Black Is Black (1966)

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

1) Black is this week's signature color because Friday, November 27, was "Black Friday," when retailers cut their prices and consumers flock to the stores. Did you score any "Black Friday" bargains?  Nope. Have never and will never go shopping on Black Friday. I don't do well in crowds.

2) WalMart, Best Buy, Toys R Us and Target have all heavily advertised their "Black Friday" sales. If you could have a $50 gift card to one of those stores, which would choose? What would you spend the $50 on?  From that list of stores, I would choose WalMart and would buy cat food & litter.

3) Star Wars items are predicted to be big sellers this Black Friday. Are you a big sci-fi fan?  No.  Are there any sci-fi fans on your holiday gift list?    We picked two tags from the Angel Tree at church, and one of the children wants Star Wars toys, so I guess we will be looking for something for her...yes, a girl.

4) Feasting and football are also popular Thanksgiving weekend pastimes. Do your Thursday-Sunday plans include pigging out or watching a game?  Both, and almost continuously.....

5) At Thanksgiving dinners, Crazy Sam's homemade gravy is always a hit. (Probably because she's so generous with the cognac, which gives the gravy a nutty taste.) Do you have a signature dish?  Not really, but everything I made was good (if I may say so) and now I want that gravy recipe with cognac!  My gravy was good but didn't have cognac in it.

6) What did you give thanks for on Thanksgiving 2015?  Everything. 

7) Monday is Cyber Monday, when shoppers can save big online. Do you shop confidently over the Internet, or do you worry about security breaches and identity theft?  I shop confidently over the internet all the time. It is the only way I shop....at least 90% of the time.
  
8) This week's featured band, Los Bravos, was international. Their members came from both Germany and Spain. If you could travel to any foreign country in the world, which would you choose?  I've been to Italy, and would love to go there again, but I really want to experience Scotland.

9) The band's name, Los Bravos, can be translated to mean, "The Brave." Do you consider yourself gutsy?  Kinda gutsy, but it certainly depends. I will not skydive or bungee jump, for instance.

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!
