10) Rome or Athens?[COLOR="blue"]I had more fun in Athens, but the street signs were literally all Greek to me, and the roads never met at a 90 degree angle. Super confusing to navigate. Fun place though.[/COLOR]

4) What most signifies that Spring is here?

[COLOR="blue"]Spring is here, spring is here
Life is skittles and life is beer
I think the loveliest time of the year
Is the spring, I do, don't you? Course you do!

But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me
And makes every Sunday a treat for me

All the world seems in tune on a spring afternoon
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park
Every Sunday you'll see my sweetheart and me
As we poison the pigeons in the park

When they see us coming
The birdies all try and hide
But they still go for peanuts
When coated with cyanide[/COLOR]

5) Favorite sport that does not involve a ball of any shape? Play? Watch? [COLOR="blue"]Every men's sport involves a ball of some shape. I'll say women's hockey.[/COLOR]

9) Do you have a valid passport?

[COLOR="Blue"]Yes[/COLOR]

10) Rome or Athens?

[COLOR="blue"]You pick. I knew there was a reason you asked #9![/COLOR]

Fun fact: Poisoning Pigeons in the Park was based on an actual thing the city of Boston was doing at the time to control the pigeon population. It was real!

5) Don't forget tossing the caber, and other Highland games they'd probably let poor Rudolph join. Though the hammer throw... that's kinda spherical.

Foil, saber, epee, broadsword w/ or w/o shield. Hell, call the latter WMA or HEMA.

Small bore, pistol, high-power rifle... race-gun matches -- all the bang-bang target stuff apart from skeet or trap or sporting clays, which arguably do include numerous balls so I guess we don't let them in.

Veronica, or Betty?
