Upon reviewing everyone’s answers after I submitted…

What’s wrong with you people?!?!? Silk and baby’s butts/bottoms aren’t soft! They’re smooth! 😛

**OtakuLoki** , at least your answer for blue (suede shoes) isn’t a loner - that was my answer as well. 🙂

I saw that, **tarragon918**. We’re the cool kids, right?  
(I think it’s my only other matched answer, though… And a couple of times I _changed_ my first impulse to go with something I felt would be more common. :eek: )

Looks like “blue moon”, not “blue sky”, is the winner for the first question.

Ooooh, **anyrose** , what a bummer I missed this one. Danged 2nd job!

I really like these kind of questions. Actually, I’m finding it pretty freaky how very many of us give the same responses to such a broad range of prompts as we’ve had here. I mean, we are so diverse, so informed, so well-read, in many cases so diabolical; and yet we almost all think “hot as hell” or “slow as molasses”. Perhaps some epistemologist or semiotician will thoughtfully start a thread to explain what it all means!

can’t help it. scientists make me hot.
