“World’s Most Enjoyable Game.”

And the question is, “What are people saying about the Axis of Weevil Thursday Three?”

Yes, it’s time again for the most funnest thing in the entire world, the Thursday Three--this week with an exciting new twist that’ll have everyone talking!

Or not.

Taking the suggestion of one Larry Anderson from Kudzu Acres, Alabama, this week the T-3 will break with its traditional format of asking three probing and insightful questions, and instead will offer three pithy and cogent ANSWERS!

That’s right, this week will be the KARNAK THE MAGNIFICENT Version of the Thursday Three!

SO, donning my satiny, befeathered turban, I will now take this envelope which has been kept in a hermetically sealed mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnall's doorstep and which contains a question (or three, or whatever), hold it to my head, and tell you the three answers that come to me...

--Madeleine Albright

--A 16 ounce framing hammer

--Snowcones

There you have it! Now then, go off and either make up a question that ties all three of those together in a HI-larious way, or just make up three questions that each thing is the answer to. An example might be “Name two things ill-suited to conducting American foreign policy and something you would find in a carpenter’s tool belt.” Just remember, though, unlike the example, hilarity is required! Or suggested. Or not.

IN any case, just leave your questions in the comments section below, or post your questions on your blog and leave a link. I’ll save my question(s) until later, because I have my paying gig to attend to at the moment. Also, so very sorry for the sudden dearth of possuminess yesterday afternoon--apparently the Munu servers blowed up real good again. Maybe they should have hit them with a framing hammer. Or Madeleine Albright.

What is the most erratic blog in the AoW, Alex?

Posted by: skillzy at October 20, 2005 09:43 AM

I must say that Skillzy has the best entry so far!

Now you've done it! All the other people are afraid to play! Of course, that means that I'll remain number one, so I guess I'm OK with that.

Maybe when they find out they'll be playing for $340,000,000.00 they'll think differently!

Is that before or after taxes, lump sum?

Oh all right, if you're going to complain on another post:

How is the new UN headquarters going to be built at ANWAR?

Posted by: MarcV at October 20, 2005 12:35 PM

Well, Marc, that would be before taxes. And fees.

And nobody said anything about Nigeria, so you just cut that out right now.

1. Who is the ONLY Democrat not running for President in 2008?

2. What is something that most politicians don't know how to use?

3. I honestly can't come up with something for snowcones--perhaps what is something possums WON'T eat?

Posted by: Stan at October 20, 2005 01:40 PM

Ohhhh, poor Stan--one answer away from 350 million smackers, and he messed up on the last one. Surely you know there's NOTHING a possum won't eat!

Posted by: Terry Oglesby at October 20, 2005 01:53 PM

Well, gosh darn. I think the Thursday Three needs "lifelines" like those on Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

Posted by: Stan at October 20, 2005 01:58 PM

I'm in. And I went the "one-question" route.

Posted by: skinnydan at October 20, 2005 02:18 PM

Personally, I think it needs Meredith Vieira.

Rrrowwwl.

Well here is my lame entry.

Can I have a pony? One that is all sparkly?

Posted by: Sarah G. at October 20, 2005 03:41 PM

Of course!
