So here in Dispatch at Crater Lake National Park there's a little game we like to play. Called "Ellie's Question of the Day", the game consists of me (Ellie) having nothing else to do with my time but lean back in my puffy black chair and ask random questions that nothing but pure silence and boredom can produce.
There is one rule: am only allowed one question per day. So the questions must be weeded through, evaluated for quality-of-answer-potential, and tested out on Google search before the final question is verbalized to my Comm mates.
"Does a healed broken nose ache when you go up in altitude?"
"What's the 'lime' part of limelight?"
"Do any of you guys know where the phrase "gung-ho" come from?"
etc, etc, etc...
I think my co-workers hate this game.
However, one of them chimed in with her own question the other day:
"Hey Ellie, how do you say teeth plural?"
Anyone can play the game.
WARNING: once you start, there is no going back. You've opened a can of worms. You are forever doomed to think up random questions that can only be answered by obscure, slightly-questionable blogs found on Google. So don't say I didn't warn you.
