Hello and happy timezones, kind friends! I have greatly enjoyed your responses to my Get to Know You posts.
So, it’s time. Come sit on my porch for a spell. Tea, lemonade and refreshments will be served shortly.
Here are 3 questions! Let’s go!
Round #68:
Would you rather wear bell-bottomed pants or sport a mohawk?
What was your nickname in school?
How do you feel about clowns?
Here are my answers:
Either one, as I have done both.
Kimmy
No thank you!
And now, it’s your turn! If you don’t want to participate, no problem! I’m just glad you’re here. A hello would be fantastic, though! Of course, lurkers are always heartily welcome, too. xo
Thank you so much for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting! You are important!
I would much rather wear bell-bottom pants. Especially since I no longer have enough hair to do a mohawk!
I had a couple. My baseball (pony-league) nickname was “Redbone,” because I was skinny and had long red hair. During high school, my nickname was “Bick,” which is half of my last name.
I think clowns are fascinating. They can also be terrifying, and there’s a reason that they are so often featured in horror stories.
1) Bell bottoms….for the obvious reason, if you have seen my photo
2) Goldilocks…wish that applied today
3) Ambivalent. Funny clows-OK. Scary clowns-go away
I’d have to say bellbottoms – no way I could pull off a mohawk, but if I did it would be purple.
Didn’t have a nickname
I don’t think clowns are funny – more annoying like mimes – but they don’t scare me.
It’s not just that there are clowns. I could deal with that, I think. But they are all made into the scariest and creepiest element for Hallowe’en. I mean there is even a show I can’t watch because it has…scary looking clown.
Would you rather wear bell-bottomed pants or sport a mohawk? Bell-bottomed pants, no contest
What was your nickname in school? Tumpe
How do you feel about clowns? I loved them when I was a kid. However, modern culture has turned me against them.
Hi Kymber, Nice you are feeling better!
I got comfortable with bell bottoms during a six-year stint in the NAVY back in the ’70’s. (How can I be that old? I don’t remember a high-school nickname, but my dad always called me Juan-two. The only clowns I was aware of growing up were rodeo clowns, who provided a valuable, if dangerous, service. I reckon I grew up with a respect for their selfless bravery.
Juan-two is silly. In eastern New Mexico, where I grew up, Jon or John might be rendered Juan. Juan vaguely sounds like 1 to English speakers. And, well, 1 is always followed by 2.
So nice that you are back and with the “Get to Know You” posts. My answers: 1 Bell-bottomed pants. I sort of like them.
2 Flacundenga, gata flaca (Skinny, scrawny cat). Being called skinny was not a compliment in Cuba in the eighties. 3 Like bell-bottom pants. Sort of like them 🙂
Bell bottoms
Shorty (and anything else derogatory to short people)
I love all clowns, funny or scary. I loved IT, he did a great job making that clown look scary as heck!
I don’t know, I clicked on it twice in the reader but the questions weren’t there. 🤷♀️
I got so used to the nicknames that when I was in Korea, I bought a silk jacket and had the Japanese word for “little one” embroidered on it. (Skoche)😂
Awww.. So wonderful to see this again….
Mine would be…
Bell-bottomed pants or sport a mohawk? Bell- Bottomed pants for sure… Too shy to try and sport a Mohawk
Nickname during my High School years was ALF… I used it as a way to express my crush- “Always Love Frances.” And 39 years later, those words are still true, because I’m still with her and our High School friends, still call me ALF till this day…
Clowns – Eh, they don’t really bother me. I actually enjoy the talent they show and how they entertain.
I enjoyed reading your answers! Mine are:
Bell bottoms – love/loved them
Nickname = Hullabaloo or Chelsea, or just Barb
Clowns – No! Hated clowns since I was a kid and one threw a skunk at me at a rodeo. Or so I thought. It was just a towel, but it made me spill my coke and popcorn, and I hated clowns ever since. haha 🙂
Thanks for the fun questions 🙂
What a warm, inviting, and delightfully playful post! Your porch-setting introduction immediately creates a sense of comfort and community — tea, lemonade, friendly conversation… it feels like stepping into a gathering hosted by someone who genuinely enjoys people.
I’m so happy to hear that! 🙂 Your intention comes through beautifully, and it’s always a joy to connect with you. Seeing your words and sharing in that feeling truly brightens the day. 🌟
Hi, Kymber! I’ve missed these. I’d definitely opt for bell-bottoms. I lived that era. 🙂 My nickname in school was ‘Smiley.’ 🙂 I love clowns. They make me smile. But I always wonder what they’re like behind that painted on face. Fun!!
Kymber! I’m so sorry for all you’ve been through, and that I’ve been so absent on WP for a while. How’re you holding up? It’s lovely to see you posting.
I always enjoy these posts from you! So, clowns, huh? Do you have a phobia or a general dislike for their creepiness? Secondly, is there photographic proof of this mohawk?! 😁
Bell bottoms – I love them but I’m always too short these days for decent flare jeans as stores seem to be making “regular” length longer and longer!
Caz (which went to “Cazza”, not at my behest).
I’d have a drink with Pennywise.
Heeeeey there! I’m doing well now, thanks. I feel way better after surgery than I did before. It’s lovely to see you, too.
So, clowns… not a phobia really, mostly a feeling of creepiness ever since Pennywise (with whom you’d have a drink!). lol Stephen King really scares me sometimes. lol
Unfortunately, there is no proof of said mohawk, but it was more like a faux hawk. LOL I loved it at the time. I was in junior highschool.
I’m short too and have noticed the sizes getting longer. It’s not right. lol
Great to see you back writing Kymber!
Round #68:
Would you rather wear bell-bottomed pants or sport a mohawk?
Bell-bottomed pants.
What was your nickname in school?
Bones ( I was skinny and very flexible back then)
How do you feel about clowns?
I don’t mind them for the most part.

Thank you for playing, Jeff!
Your nicknames are great!
You are so right about clowns and horror movies. That sure hits the nail on the head!
Happy Wednesday!
💜💜
I used to wear bell bottoms in high school! I would totally wear them again!
Right on! 🩷🌺
Ahhh, good questions Kymber
1) Bell bottoms….for the obvious reason, if you have seen my photo
2) Goldilocks…wish that applied today
3) Ambivalent. Funny clows-OK. Scary clowns-go away
Happy Sunday Kymber. Allan
Thank you, Allan!
LOL You’re so funny.
LOL Goldilocks. Oh, boy.
I’m on the “go away” side of this. LOL
Thank you so much for playing. I loved your answers!
Yay, you fixed it!
YAY!!
I can’t picture you in a Mohawk! 😆
Bell Bottoms for me. I still wear them!
“Deb”. I get that even now.
Neutral on the clowns. I don’t seek them out, though.
It was a product of a misspent youth, Debbie! LOLOL I was in junior high.
I don’t blame you for not seeking them out. lol
Thank you so much for playing!

Have a great weekend, Kymber!
Purple is a great color for a mohawk!
I’m glad they don’t scare you. IT ruined clowns for me. LOL
[…] Get to Know You #68 […]
shalom v’ howdy from Israel.
Shalom! Howdy from Michigan, USA. 🙂 It’s nice to meet you.
Oh you owe me some pictures! A Mohawk?
Bell bottoms because no one touches my do.
Just a shortened version of my name I’m not sharing
Clowns? Are you kidding? Uhhhhh NO!
It was more of a faux hawk, but I don’t have pictures. Many of my photos were left behind. 🙁
I don’t blame you for not sharing. 🙂
I knew you would be a total no on clowns! lol
Fear of clowns! It’s a real thing! Just terrified of them.
Is yours a phobia, Bee?
It could be. I absolutely hate the month of October. Everything is Halloween and most of it is clowns.
Yes, the clowns do run rampant during that time.
It’s not just that there are clowns. I could deal with that, I think. But they are all made into the scariest and creepiest element for Hallowe’en. I mean there is even a show I can’t watch because it has…scary looking clown.
Oh, yes, I definitely see what you mean.
Round #68:
Would you rather wear bell-bottomed pants or sport a mohawk? I’d rather wear bell bottoms. No on the mohawk
What was your nickname in school?sweet tart
How do you feel about clowns?
neutral but if they are scary looking then it’s a nope
Kymber I am excited to have and your get to know me prompts back. Sending positive thoughts, love and prayers for you
Thank you so much, Heidi! I can sure use the prayers. 🙂 Sending love right back to you!
I can understand being a “no” on the mohawk.
Sweet tart! That is so cute!
Same here!
Thank you for playing, Heidi!
Here are my answers
Would you rather wear bell-bottomed pants or sport a mohawk? Bell-bottomed pants, no contest
What was your nickname in school? Tumpe
How do you feel about clowns? I loved them when I was a kid. However, modern culture has turned me against them.
Why Tumpe? I’m curious.
Yes! I totally get that about modern culture.
Thank you for playing, Thomas!
Hi Kymber, Nice you are feeling better!
I got comfortable with bell bottoms during a six-year stint in the NAVY back in the ’70’s. (How can I be that old? I don’t remember a high-school nickname, but my dad always called me Juan-two. The only clowns I was aware of growing up were rodeo clowns, who provided a valuable, if dangerous, service. I reckon I grew up with a respect for their selfless bravery.
Hi, Jon! So good to see you!
Oh, yes, I can see how you would have gotten used to bell bottoms from the Navy.
What was Juan-2 for? 😀
I guess I didn’t consider rodeo clowns,, but I should have. They are brave indeed!
Juan-two is silly. In eastern New Mexico, where I grew up, Jon or John might be rendered Juan. Juan vaguely sounds like 1 to English speakers. And, well, 1 is always followed by 2.
LOL I love it!
So nice that you are back and with the “Get to Know You” posts. My answers: 1 Bell-bottomed pants. I sort of like them.
2 Flacundenga, gata flaca (Skinny, scrawny cat). Being called skinny was not a compliment in Cuba in the eighties. 3 Like bell-bottom pants. Sort of like them 🙂
Thank you so much. I’m very grateful to be here.
I sort of like bell bottoms, too.
Awww… skinny scrawny cat? How rude!
LOL @ sort of liking clowns. A lot of people here like clowns. 😀
Thank you so much for playing!
Thanks to Stella, I can see the questions!
Bell bottoms
Shorty (and anything else derogatory to short people)
I love all clowns, funny or scary. I loved IT, he did a great job making that clown look scary as heck!
I wonder why you can’t see the questions, Kim?
I hear you about the derogatory terms for short people. I’ve gotten some of that, too.
I loved IT, too, but Pennywise scared me a little too much. LOL
I don’t know, I clicked on it twice in the reader but the questions weren’t there. 🤷♀️
I got so used to the nicknames that when I was in Korea, I bought a silk jacket and had the Japanese word for “little one” embroidered on it. (Skoche)😂
Pennywise was rather frightening!
That’s strange. I’m going to check this out and see if there is anything I can do.
That silk jacket sounds lovely! I like what you had embroidered on it.
For real!
I figured out what the problem is but not how to fix it. lol I’ll keep at it.
It’s fixed, Kim! ♥
Thanks! 😊
No problemo! Thank you for pointing out that it was not working right.♥
Here;s mine Kymber

Clowns – Eh, they don’t really bother me. I actually enjoy the talent they show and how they entertain.
I can totally understand being too shy for a mohawk.
Alf? That’s great, and it’s terrific you’re still together!
Thank you so much for playing, Willie.
[…] Get to Know You […]
Thank you! I’ll be right over!
I don’t have enough hair for a Mohawk, so by default I’ll have to go with the bell-bottoms.
My nickname was Magoo. Some thought I resembled the character.
Don’t like clowns. Behind that panted smile is something sinister.
Magoo! lol And, I so agree with you about clowns! Thank you so much for playing, John.
Cool questions, I liked your answers I am pleased to see these post back
Thank you, Joanne! I’m glad you liked my answers. I’m pleased to see you. 🙂

LOL. I like all your nicknames you had, Barb. Why would a clown do that? LOL Silly thing.

Hi, Jan! Thank you for playing!
