Dear Diary: Question Of The Day(s)

[MargeGunderson]

Who forgot to feed the elephant?

Edited February 1, 2022 by MargeGunderson

[Stats Queen]

I’m looking for the Kool-aid man.

[Browncoat]

"Heeeeeeeeere's Johnny!"

[Ohiopirate02]

"Feed me Seymour."

[festivus]

"I said NO peanuts!"

[meep.meep]

But you wanted open concept!

[meep.meep]

[Browncoat]

I'm going to go with Pterry the Pterodactyl.

[Annber03]

Easy pick for me.: Brontosaurus. That was my favorite dinosaur when I was a kid, and I still like 'em :D. 

[MargeGunderson]

Tyrannosaurus, because like T Rex I have short arms. 

[Bastet]

I have long since forgotten everything I learned about dinosaurs as a kid, so I'll pick based on most-interesting shape in that poster and declare a tie between parasaurolophus and stegosaurus.

[jennifer6973]

Any of the ones that look blue or purplish in color.

[shapeshifter]

Back when we studied dinosaurs, there weren't that many, so I am assuming even more will be discovered.
Therefore, my yet-to-be discovered favorite dinosaur will be named either Precognitionosaurus anxiousi or Chickenosaurus littlest.
The remains of the adult Precognitionosaurus anxiousi (aka Chickenosaurus littlest) would be typically found under a cliff in a fetal position where this dinosaur was waiting for the meteor to hit.

Here's even more:

[jewel21]

Brontosaurus. I also like the one with the weird cowlick on his head, heh. 

[ratgirlagogo]

Stegasaurus, because of one of my favorite dinosaur books The Shy Stegosaurus of Cricket Creek by Evelyn Sibly Lampman  (My all-time favorite dinosaur book was All About Dinosaurs, by Roy Chapman Andrews.).

 

ETA:favorite books as a kid, I mean.

Yikes! A spiderweb is the haunted object of my eventual doom. 

Not great.

[Annber03]

Looks like...a croissant will be my death weapon? 

All right, then. 

[SoMuchTV]

Chocolate iced donut? I’m okay with that!

[DearEvette]

Huh.  A Piano.

No to self, don't be in a Harold Lloyd movie.

[Bastet]

I can't tell what two of those things are.  Is the one at 7-0 a potato?  I don't even have a guess for the thing at 9-3.

A croissant for me, too.  I will be sure to avoid Burger King.  And France.

[MargeGunderson]

A box. Considering that my profession works with large volumes of paper record storage, it’s fitting. I have said that Iron Mountain offsite records storage will be the death of me, so apparently it actually will be. 

[partofme]

Chocolate chip cookie, I guess that makes sense

 

 

 

 

[Mabinogia]

I got the cardboard box. given the amount of things I order on Amazon...yeah, no, I am going to keep ordering. Now I get the added excitement of every new package possibly containing my eventual doom! I just ordered a wide toothed comb and some Nyquil....so, I'll either be poisoned or poke an eye out?

[SweetieDarling]

A floppy disk

First of all, assuming there is any incriminating evidence against me saved to floppy disk in an alcohol fueled stupor, does anyone still own a working device that can read it? It's haunted? Again, hard pressed to find a device that can read it, or release it's demons, not that it's impossible, but odds may be in my favor. 

[Mondrianyone]

A pencil. If it were a red pencil, that would be frighteningly on target. But since my work has gone all digital, it may be too little too late.

I do. So beware. I may be the engine of your destruction.

I do, too.  You better be nice to us.

[ABay]

A roll of toilet paper. Hmm. You know, I do often find myself thinking "Please don't let me die like Elvis."

[FormerMod-a1]

A slide?  LOL 
 

[jennifer6973]

Mine is a bell.

[Maisiesmom]

Oh dear-mine is a hammer! I'm not a woodworker but last night my husband did say he was going to hit me in the head with one if I didn't shut up and go to sleep! Guess I will have to hide that bad boy! LOL!

[JustHereForFood]

I have a saltshaker. Is that a code for high blood pressure? I could see that, but for other reasons than too much salt.

I would guess meteor, but that doesn't really fit with the rest.

[shapeshifter]

I always thought it would be a nuclear holocaust, but apparently it's a chocolate chip cookie.🍪
I don't really buy or eat cookies because I try to keep my sugar intake low, so maybe I'll be walking past the cookies in Wegmans when the nuclear holocaust happens?
Easily avoided.
I'll be sure to approach the Hint Of Salt Triscuits from the non-cookie end of the aisle and leave by the same route. 
Oh.
But according to this fortune telling diagram, probably I will slip on a banana peel by avoiding the cookie end of the aisle. 
Okay.
This is definitely Not the most dignity-robbing path to death, and it might provide a little comic fodder to some with darker senses of humor.

Saltshaker could indicate tequila shots. 

[meep.meep]

I got the umbrella.  Does that mean the Russians are going to shoot poison into me?

Yeah, I'm 9-3 and have no clue what that is. A meteor?

[jennifer6973]

It looks like a waffle cone

[jewel21]

Mine is... a bottle of booze? Champagne? Sadly, I can see that. Thankfully I'm too poor to drink more than a handful of times a year, lol. 

[Mondrianyone]

Could 9-3 possibly be a bath bomb? I'd shower for the foreseeable future, just to be on the safe side.  🛁 💣

I believe it is a meteor and/or comet, but I would also avoid flaming basketballs, just in case.

But that doesn't fit with all the others, which are mundane everyday objects.

Perhaps being in the last position means it's the ultimate ender of life on earth?
Here's the "original":

[Gramto6]

Now that 9-3 looks like the horn of a rhinoceros. Oh I read it wrong! Born 1949, 3rd day so so actually 9-0, swiss cheese is going to get me !

My DS will be done in by a cup of coffee, DD by a chocolate chip cookie. Who comes up with this stuff??

A pretzel.  I hate pretzels.  Although I suppose it's better than the toilet paper... (sorry @ABay)

 

I was hoping for the booze...  I'll keep trying.

[Mabinogia]

My amazon package arrived but it was in a bubble wrap envelope not a cardboard box. Whew. I have once again cheated my eventual doom. 

[Anela]

An umbrella is going to be the end of me.

Pretzel? Do you mean this one?

Because, if so, in the words of Stephen Colbert and my cab driver: "is potato."
And legend has it that potatoes have at times been used to make vodka.

I've had some disasters with those bubble wrap envelopes. Who ships a jar of salsa in one??? At least I got a replacement!

I'd love "is potato"!  Unfortunately, it's the one underneath.  

[Drogo]

Death by cheese?

I’ll allow it.
