saturday nine

Beer Barrel Polka

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!

SPECIAL NOTE: Recently Kwizgiver responded to a Saturday 9 question by saying that polka music would make her run in the other direction. This got Sam thinking ... no one ever builds memes around polka music. And so, with apologies to Kwizgiver --

1) Have you ever danced the polka?
Oh Lord my family is Slovak ... we went to polkas every other weekend when I was a little one
2) Frankie Yankovic was a stellar accordion player. What instrument have you mastered, or would like to learn?

I used to play the "PIEana" as my grandma used to call it, but thats gone.3) When Frankie died in 1998, his obituary proclaimed him as "America's Polka King." Lucille Ball was "The Queen of Comedy" and Michael Jackson was "The King of Pop." What royal title do you deserve?

The Dog Biscuit Queen
4) Do you like light beer?
Yep5) In 1901, daredevil Annie Taylor successfully went over Niagara Falls in a barrel. She was badly bruised but otherwise fine. How much money would it take for you do to do something that dangerous?

When I was younger, just a dare would do it!6) When was the last time you visited a pet store?

This morning. 7) What's your favorite salad dressing?

  Brianna Bleu Cheese
8)  Sam Winters is crazy about her smart phone. She uses it to take pictures, record videos, listen to tunes, answer emails and surf the net and, oh yeah, she even uses it to make calls. How indispensable is your mobile phone in your day-to-day life?
Not very. I let all calls go to voice mail and usually only call back the ones that are orders.
9) "Kocham ciÄ™" is "I love you" in Polish. Can you say "I love you" in a language other than English (and Polish)?
