Question: Can you name the colors of the Rainbow in order?
Answer: Purple, Blue, Red,Yellow, Green, Orange.
Have you ever heard of ROY G. BIV?
No.
Cheat sheet for the rainbow ... Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.
OK, how about state capitals. Can you name all of them?
No.
Let's try one. What's the capital of New Hampshire?
No idea.
How about South Carolina?
Is Columbia a capital?
Name the capital of New Guinea.
Geography is not my favorite subject.
How long is it going to take you to give up wearing Rainbows in the cold weather?
I wear them all the time, even in the cold.
Do you wear socks with them in the winter?
Sometimes.
Are you a bundle-up kind of girl, or do you wear summer clothes in the winter with a warm jacket?
I'm a bundler - I like the snuggly clothes.
What's your favorite piece of art here at Collectors Cafe?
That's a tough one. I'd have to say any artwork by Tommy Davis or Mike Smith.
Can you draw or paint?
No, but I can write in cursive with frosting on dessert plates.
What's the most comfortable chair here?
The lip couch.
What do you remember about the Pavilion?
The rickety wooden roller coaster and screaming kids.
What's your favorite memory?
When I found out I was having a little sister. She's 11 years younger.
Have you ever overcharged someone?
Never intentionally - unless they are a jackass.
Tell us something interesting about yourself.
I was born on Christmas Day.
Do you get screwed out of gifts?
Absolutely.
Would you rather surf near sharks or carry a flag pole in a lightning storm?
Carry a flag pole. My former roommate got bit by a shark - scary!
Do you head somewhere white for the winter or stay at the beach?
I like to go somewhere with snow in the winter because we don't get snow that sticks here. It's exciting for me ... I'm like a 5-year-old in snow.
Where's the most exotic place you've ever been?
Las Vegas. It's not that exotic, but it's crazy.
Did you gamble?
No, but my friend, whose birthday it was, won $1,500. Beginner's luck.
