Another Blogoversary?


Yes! She Who Seeks blog is ELEVEN years old today! Wow, that's a lotta years to have been pumping out stolen cartoons and memes, assorted cat videos and miscellaneous balloon juice, isn't it?

Putting together this post, I discovered that "eleven" is NOT a particularly exciting or famous number.  It's hard to build a theme post around it. This is the best I could come up with.

A super slow speed limit --


That kid named Eleven from Stranger Things --


The old British tradition of a mid-morning snack called "elevenses" --

Image result for elevenses

No one ever says "behind the eleven ball" --


This is really stretching it, I know, but
7-11 and its famous slurpees
(at least this has a bonus unicorn, yay!) --


Hockey legend and Edmonton's favourite son Mark Messier,
who always wore number 11 on his jersey, whether playing for
the Edmonton Oilers, the Vancouver Canucks or the New York Rangers --


Yup, that's it. Pretty sad, eh?

If you can think of any more famous or exciting elevens, help me out in the comments, willya?

  5. Congratulations on the blogiversary!

    Didn't you see the amplifier scene in Spinal Tap? You "go to eleven" any number of times.....

    There's also the expression "the eleventh hour", but it seems much less applicable, blog-wise.

    Here's to Twelves and Thirteenses!

  7. Don't know how you keep coming up with topics and great pics for your blog, let alone the enthusiasm to keep it going. I've fizzled out pretty much in the past few years. Wishing you many more years of entertaining your readers.

  9. I am with the Infidel- Spinal Tap's Nigel Tufnel and his amplifier - it goes to eleven. A classic scene from a classic movie.

  12. when i lived in toronto 30+ years ago there was a pizza commercial and the jingle was...367-eleven eleven. (367-1111) all these years later it's still stuck in my head!

  13. Yours is a year older than mine, but I think you've been with me from the very beginning! Time flies!

  14. The only famous 11 I can think of is--well, let's just say you can find it in the title of a Michael Moore movie.

    At any rate, happy blogoversary

  27. Happy 11th blogversary! I can't think of anything else that is eleven related and exciting, except maybe elevenses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevenses

    ReplyDelete
  28. I'd disremembered elevenses. I think you should mount a campaign to bring it back into fashion.
    And my, thet Mark Messier could stretch his jaw, what?

  29. Congratulations. I hope there are many more years to come.

  30. Oh, how quickly you forget Saskatchewan's Highway 11, where moose are moose and men are afraid....

    And I KNOW you're old enough to remember APOLLO 11 since the first moon landing only happened 50 years ago.

    Happy Blogiversary anyway!

  32. Congratulations on making to 11 years!

    Alas, the only "11" I can come up with is the song "Eleven" from Schoolhouse Rocks.

  33. Happy blogoversary! Eleven years is amazing. I made up a word you can use if you'd like: eleventy. As in, "I ate eleventy pieces of anniversary cake and felt super fat."

  36. Eleven years of posting, Debra! Way to go! Loved the "elevenses" image. Whenever I hear that word, I always hear Pippin in "The Fellowship of the Ring" movie saying, "What about elevenses? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper?" when Strider is leading them away from Bree. Have a great weekend!
