Snerffle is a go!

I'm thinking a St. Patrick's Day start. But if you want to get bonus points before then, keep a lookout for opportunities in everyday posts (and, of course, you can suggest rounds and challenges, or just say something funny or interesting... lots of ways to get extra points!).

For example, this one:

I went and donated blood today, but almost couldn't. And the reason was one I'd not heard before. Why was I almost rejected as a blood donor?

Answer will be posted this evening tomorrow morning (can't be unfair to my Australian peeps).

You've been on antibiotics recently?

You've been drinking other people's blood and so mixing your blood type to potentially disastrous results for someone who receives a transfusion?

They were double booked? (On the second flight home, dad's seat was double booked! Luckily there was an empty seat further up the plane.)

They had just gotten rick-rolled and were too ashamed to see people?

I'm torn on giving you a +1 for the obvious vampire reference...

Double-booking is just wrong. +1 to your dad 'cause that sucks.

What vampire references? You totally suck for not getting my pop culture references. =[

Were you maybe late, or had forgotten some piece of essential ID or lingerie?

I suck at pop culture references, that's for sure. Especially Australian pop culture. ;)

Nope (I was a walk-in), nope (just need a driver's license), and... why would I need lingerie?!

...There was no pop culture reference.

Had you (not?) eaten or drunk anything or taken any particular medication recently?
