Mrs. Cranky's Trip List
Last year I held a contest to test the readers skill at deciphering Mrs. Cranky's handwriting. The winner correctly identified 8 out of 15 items on Mrs. C's shopping list. In lieu of this week's "Stupid Headlines" I am running a new handwriting quiz.
Last week Mrs. C went on a business trip for her dance studio. She made a list of items she wanted to be sure and bring. She forgot an item and called me to see if it was on her list. It was not, but I was amazed how many items on her list I could actually identify. Either her handwriting has improved, or I am learning her code. I will let the readers be the judge. The person who correctly identifies the most items will win a WHOOP-TEE-DOO and a plug of their blog. If you do not have a blog, and know my address (friends and relatives,) you win a dinner.
GOOD LUCK!
Hint, I think the first item is "Balk Park" except that makes no sense.

Funniest interpretation also wins a WHOOP-TEE-DOO...Lowandslow is the early favorite.
I was good to go on the first list, but scrolling to the comment box, came across the second list. I'm out.

Holy mother of Jesus. You can actually read this? Bwahahahahahahaha. I think I could get maybe two. Maybe.
ReplyDeleteI linked you to Silly Sunday too, because this is well...silly.
Have a fabulous day. :)
Is that pills or "Pius"? Is she shopping for a Pope?
ReplyDeleteI won't waste your time emailing my answers. I seriously doubt I have even one right. But I DO agree with lowandslow on a couple of items. It seems certain that Mrs. C. is taking her OB Shampoo, a four set of octopus, and a waist trimmer.

What was your problem? These were simple!!
I don't know what your problem is...this makes perfect sense to me:
ReplyDeleteFirst sheet:
Back pack (clearly a suitcase was just too much)
TA butt (something for kicking butt?)
Pan Corps (second cousin of Peace Corps?)
Crim (abbreviated for Crimea?) water (is that code for champagne?)
Day ER brush (hopefully, she will also pack the night ER brush...)
OB sanpoo (I'm thinking this is something to deal with shit?)
Pills (probably for the headache, caused by dealing with shit?)
Small bar shack (is she planning to drink?)
Second sheet:
Foot cushions
Dress shoes (probably the high heeled, uncomfortable ones, hence the need for the foot cushions)
Sandies (you gotta have cookies, no?)
4 sets of clothes (going for four days?)
Crown (we all know she is the Queen)
Waist trimmer (the Queen has to look trim!)
Towel (makes sense, no matter what)
Unolt (it's the opposite of "olt")
Hahahaha...
I'm delighted (no, really) to see so many folks have tried *real* hard to guess. I'm out.

I got lost after back pack and am not even sure of that. I really can't criticize. Often I am at the store and can't read my own shopping list. I blame it on the computer and the lost art of letter writing.

And I thought my husband's handwriting was bad!
Mrs. C and I might be related. I can't even read my own handwriting...
