This month, I was lucky enough to be chosen for a guest spot on the Blogging A to Z Challenge. Pinch me I must be dreaming. I feel just like Sally Field (no s).
You Like me! Right now, you like me!
Um don't get ahead of yourself Jilly beans. "They" whoever "they" are don't even know you yet. Trust is earned. Ya-da, Ya-da. Blah, blah, blah. So on and so forth.
Any Who, what was I thinking by dropping my name in the virtual hat?
You weren't thinking at all. Yep! Most likely you silly, silly girl. You who needs to learn to slow her roll. You were thinking that you wanted to show off. Perhaps? You were thinking that you have a desperate need to be liked. Maybe?
C'mon, we're all friends here in bloglandia. You can admit it. You want human connection. And you are not alone! Check out this article The Science of You Like Me.
Go on, click the link and take a quick read. We'll wait!
You're back! Wasn't that great?
And now you can feel the theme developing.
Drum roll puhleese!

The Mandela Effect
What the what have we here? That Oscar Speech and more. I could get into a real rat hole. Mass mis-remembering as in Sally Field (no-s) and what she really said in her Oscar speech is captured above compared to what people remember. There was no REALLY in the line. See the following eight examples of the Mandela effect phrased in question form:
- Did Nelson Mandela die in jail?
- How many states does the America have? Hint NOT 51 or 52 :)
- Berenstein or Berenstain Bears?
- Jif or Jiffy Peanut Butter?
- Forrest Gump – Life IS like a box of chocolates, or Life WAS like a box of chocolates?
- Looney Tunes or Looney Toons?
- Oscar Meyer or Oscar Mayer?
- Did Rich Uncle Pennybags aka the Monopoly man have a monocle or no monocle?
So let's play a game shall we? Please answer in the comments what you think the correct responses are to the questions above? No fair using Google. Yes I know that Mr. Google is our friend but that'd be cheating. :)
