Fibbing Friday 17th November

***

This week, Di is asking for your suggestions for these:

1. Macropinna Microstoma … Packages of microwave mac and cheese

2. Fossa … We’ve had Fossa before but I can’t remember what I said, so this time I’ll say = old fashioned cherry phosphate soda from the lunch counter of old drugstores. In the old days it was made from crushed cherry bark, and this contained small amounts of cyanide.

Cherry Phosphate Soda

from a wiki article – an illustration of a glass of cherry phosphate with a straw, and a girl drinking some. It cost 15 cents

3. Leafy Seadragon … AKA also known as the Lion Fish (see photo below of a real Lion Fish at the KC Aquarium) and it’s spines are tipped with poison.

4. Dik-Dik … Is this like the pedi-cab in Indonesia, the Tuk-Tuk?

5: Lilac-Breasted Roller … A scrapbooking tool. An ink stamper but it’s on a roller for a continuous design.

6. Mata Mata … This is one of those fancy alcohol drinks that uses either chocolate or vanilla ice cream in it.

7. Halitrephes Jelly … A minty kind of gel/jelly to put on your teeth, for a bright and fresh smelling smile.

8. Pacu …  One of the smaller cliffs or hills in the dreamland of Peru’s Andes Mountains — Machu Picchu

10. Aye-Aye … This is a pirate’s parrot. It is taught to talk and say aye aye (yes yes)

Today for Color Your World we have things that look like the Crayola Crayon called Bittersweet.

  • Crayola Crayon – Bittersweet
  • Orange flowers that look a bit bittersweet
  • Bittersweet Color info – hue family of orange, first introduced in 1949
  • My drawing of a rectangle with triangles on top, colored bittersweet & the word written in the middle
  • My cat Cricket peeking out of a quilt that has bittersweet elements
  • My art mosaic of three horses, one is bittersweet
  • A Lion Fish in a bittersweet color pottery bowl (seen at the Kansas City MO aquarium)
  • A spider in a cup – the cup was red plastic outside/white inside, but the lighting makes it look bittersweet
