Game: Ask the Person Below You

[whatsername]

I seriously can't remember

What do you usually do on weekends?

[Bakiryu]

Read or do housework.

What was the first book you ever owned?

[Shalot]

Do you mean children's books or "real" books? Because if you mean the first actual book I owned, counting children's books and the more advanced books, then I would have to say that I don't have the first clue.

Did your mom dad or guardian read books to you before bed (when you were a child) and what was your favorite?

[Bakiryu]

I'm still a child! (Well at least a teenager *laughts*)

My dad read to me Gulliver's Travels and I loved it. (Until i read the real book that is and people started talking about the hidden meanings on it, that kinda ruined it for me.)

What do you think about bannapples?

[papayahed]

Never heard of it.

When's the last time you were on a plane and where did you go?

[Pendragon]

In my dreams, so I couldn't say. I am afraid of flying!

What is the name of the street you grew up on?

[Niamh]

swans nest


What board games do you like to play?

[kandaurov]

Trivial Pursuit has to be my favourite :)

What kind of movies do you like to watch? (please don't say 'the good ones', because I mean the genre :p)

[pinkmoon]

The romantic movies.

And you?:D

[papayahed]

Depends on my mood, in geneal sci-fi/space movies.

[BibliophileTRJ]

[kandaurov]

50's, 100's, 200's, 500's, autographed photos of myself, hemlock for enemies, cheap cocain for friends, the actually good stuff for myself, fake passports, and the cutest death threat from my former girlfriend!

Are you gullible?

[kandaurov]

shoot, too late...

I do live in the seaside!

Are you gullible? (in the context of the other post it was funnier, but meh :p)

[Niamh]

eh.... dont wont to answer that one....


have you ever dipped macdonald fries into an icecream sundae?

[kandaurov]

I did, and am not too proud of it heh

Is Benfica going to win tonight's match? (please say yes :()

[Niamh]

emmmmmmm...... Yes??????? Beifica????


do you like rugby?

[AimusSage]

I do, up to a point, I'm not big enough to play it myself in any decent manner, but it's a good sport. :)

Will Bill be a big bill or a small monkey?

[Bakiryu]

monkey!

what's rugby? (seriusly, I know it's a sport, and there my knowledge ends.)

[kiz_paws]

There is a ball, lots of legs kicking, fancy sox and special shoes with pokes on the bottoms for grips.... does that describe it? **I am not a rugby expert, neither...**

A twist on Niamh's question: Have you ever dipped MacDonald's fries into mayonaisse?

[Redzeppelin]

Not that I can recall - but it does sound kind of good (though horribly unhealthy I'm sure).

How much money would it require for you to give up TV forever?

[Bakiryu]

10 billion dollars (I'll buy a new computer, some dvds and watrch them there!)

Do you like fire?

[Amorphous]

Not nearly as much as some of the people I know (the type that let the gas of a lighter off in their cupped hand for a while to let it build up, then ignite it and open their hand quickly for a "fireball" effect). I like bonfires/pit fires/fireplace fires a lot though.

Do you speak any languages other than English? (If no)Do you ever plan to learn one / are you currently studying one?

[Niamh]

i learnt both Irish and French but my fluency is not what it should be. almost non exsistant!

Well, outside of my Bible, which they can pry out of my cold dead hand, The Innocents Abroad by Mark Twain.

What do you like for breakfast?

[dramasnot6]

All kinds of things, I definetly treat it as the most important and biggest meal of the day(everything else i eat is usually done in small meals or snacks). Usually a combination of some sort of whole grain, legume, veggie and/or fruit. A good liter of water as well.

Same Q

[papayahed]

What i like for breakfast is totally different then what I actualy eat for breakfast. I like Eggs, Sausage/bacon, Hash browns, and toast all covered in cheese and a big glass of orange juice.


What did you have for breakfast?

[.closed.]

Toast and Coffee

Tell me something interesting?

[andave_ya]

Christopher Lee, who played Saruman in LOTR, actually met Tolkien and Tolkien told him, "if ever a movie is made, you will play Gandalf." Of course, he ended up playing Saruman, but by all accounts, he didn't mind.

What's the weather like?

[Dante Wodehouse]

Cold.

What is the word of the day (in your opinion)?

[kandaurov]

Rejoice (good question! I actually had thought about it three hours ago, in the bus, which is kind of weird)

I guess that I ask the same question!

[Dante Wodehouse]

Anachronism.

What's your favorite band?

[Niamh]

same question?

[Bakiryu]

Ender's Game, I've read it more than 10 times.

what's your favorite song?

[kandaurov]

War and Peace. I've never read it, but since it is more than 1000 pages long, it would last for quite a while before I got rescued or eaten by starving monkeys :p

What is your favourite sport?

[kandaurov]

shoot, too late

Rock and Roll MacDonalds, by Wesley Willis. Listen to it and then you'll get why.

[dramasnot6]

Vegan tofu pizza with extra veggies,especially spinach. Yum!

What is the appliance most used in your household?

[Redzeppelin]

Coffee pot

Cartoon character you'd most like to have as a roomate and why?

[kilted exile]

Garfield - he'd spend the day sleeping so he is unlikely to annoy me too much.

Same Q

[kathycf]

Bugs Bunny, although he can be a wiseguy, he is pretty cool.

I like this one, so same question.

[dramasnot6]

Aww id love to pick Bugs as well, he's so witty! He might be a bit of a partier though....so probably Droppy Dog. He's delightfully droll.

If you could pick any you like, what Shakespeare role would you play?

[kiz_paws]

Perhaps Puck would be a fun role, lol!

If you could spend one night in any city of the world, which city would you choose? (all expense paid one night get-away)

[Madhuri]

I have been outside of India only once (for four days), its a tough choice for a person like me who would want to go every place whenever there's a chance.

Hmmm....but if I have to choose, it will probably be somplace in Egypt. I dont know why, maybe because I see there is some program on Discovery every now and then, or something else, not sure. I think for now it will be some place in Egypt.

What is your favourite cusine (sp?) and why?

[papayahed]

That's tough, probably mexican. I'm not sure why, just cause.

Same Question:
What is your favourite cusine (sp?) and why?

[dramasnot6]

Reallly tough. I love eating/cooking all kinds of cuisines....
Maybe Italian because i love the medditeranean diet, nice concentration on legumes.

How much exercise do you do? Do you enjoy it?

[Madhuri]

Yes, I usually go for swimming, and I enjoy it also. For how much -- The pools here are not open in winters, I dont do much exercise that time, and mostly I dont feel good and am lazy. Exercising keeps my mood up and I feel energetic.

Do you like talking to someone on the phone or in person?

[Domer121]

In person, that way I can read their face and get a better understanding of what they are thinking, though I am almost always wrong....


Do you like to have some type of drama going on in your life at every moment or do you like to keep things quiet and peaceful?

[kandaurov]

I hate talking on the phone. In person is way better. Hell, even Messenger is better than phone. Just a small complex of mine :p

Actually, good question, Madhuri. Person below me, do you like talking on the phone?

[kandaurov]

this keeps happening to me! :mad:

Quiet. I'm a quiet guy. Very interesting question you came up with, though!

So. Let's combine both of the questions asked. Would you break up with someone on the phone?

[Domer121]

Yes....No..depends how long we have been going out:)

(that happens to me all the time too^)


Same Question:)

[Pendragon]

If I don't have the courage to face someone, I shouldn't even be envolved with anyone! Grow a spine!http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Dragon.gif

Do you ever call someone up for a friendly chat and end up in a fight? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Cobra.gif

[Madhuri]

In this particular case only, if I see the person I wont be able to do it. So, in all probability I will do it on the phone. But, its not a good way.

Edit -- I dont have a spine I guess. I shouldn't be involved, you are right Pen :nod:

Pen's reply -- No, I usually am nice with people, and can keep my temper in check.


Next poster --

What do you do when after swimming your skin feels dry and is almost cracking?

Its a pathetic question. :p

[Domer121]

Yes, I have, I hate when that happens...


Have you ever had a friend who you thought was your best friend but then ended up having feelings for you that you just didn't have for him?

[papayahed]

Yeppers. Turned out bad but evetually we got to be friends again. He's married with a kid now.


What's for dinner?

[Domer121]

ooops, we are all blocked up again.....Madhuri: I use oil and then it ususally goes away...

Same question I posted up there^

[Pendragon]

To answer Snoopy, I don't cook, so I wouln't know...

And he better be on first!

What's on second? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Sauve.gif

[Dante Wodehouse]

What.

If you were given a stick of dynamite and a lighter, what would you do with it?

[kandaurov]

I'd sell them to buy an icecream :)

When and why did who do what?

[Dante Wodehouse]

kandaurov asked "When and why did who do what?" on the 11th of April, 2007 for inexplicable reasons.

What is a good riddle?

[JaneB]

the only riddle that comes to mind is this one:
Can a man legally marry his widow's sister in the state of Arkansas?

[papayahed]

No cause he's dead.


If a plane crashed on the Canadian/US border where would they bury the survivors?

[Shalot]

Would there be any remains to bury? Was it a fiery crash?

[The Bookinator]

No, no, no, of course not! Don't you know all plane crashes are never fiery or involve flames. Duh. :p

Why am I suffering from random mood swings today? Argh...

[dramasnot6]

Hormones? The weather? Lack of sleep? :p Sorry, whenever i have mood swings it is always one of those three

What would be your ideal house and why?

[Shalot]

My ideal house would have to be on a plot of land that collects a lot of sunlight. The indoors would be painted white (or some other bright color). The trim and doors would be white. The carpet would be white. Everything would be bright and white. It would also have a downstairs dark room for the days when the bright white bugs me (and that wouldn't be often). The yard would be level (I don't want any hassles with mowing). The house would be on a dead-end road so that there wouldn't be much traffic.

The kitchen would be large, with a window, a pantry, and a place for a small table.

There would be a formal dining room. There would be a garage and rec room. There would be at least two bathrooms (in case one was broken). The number of bedrooms I had would depend on the number of kids I had.

The neighborhood would be relatively safe and just a few minutes from work.

I don't ask for much, do I? :D

Have you ever had to throw up during a test?

[papayahed]

Nope, well except that sobriety test... HAHA just kidding.


If you could be the president/Prime Minister of any country which would it be?

[Adolescent09]

America. Unequivocally America. Anyone would suffice as president besides this strong-willed hypocrite who is in control of the white house... Until '08 that is. Why aren't Nancy Peloski and the other Democrats who constitute majority leadership in the senate and house, doing anything? :( Cutting military funding doesn't entirely neutralize this idiot's power..

If you were not limited to mantaining a healthy diet and all provisions provided a substantial quantity of supplimentary nutrients and vitamins which foods would you gorge on?

[dramasnot6]

haha, fun question. Well even if I was allowed to break away from my strict macrobiotics I don't think I would. I'd love to gorge on lots of vegan chocolate, nuts and tropical fruit, tofu icecream, and lots of delicious organic wholegrain goodies like pancakes,pasta and cookies. Mmmmm

Good one, same Q

[kiz_paws]

Oh dear, you had to ask that question....

OK, honestly -- I'd fill a bathtub with bridge mixture and jump in and not come out till all were gone.

Now you know just what kind of a chocoholic you are dealing with... :lol:

Next poster --- you are stranded on a beach island and can chose one person/living being (dog) to join you. Who/what would be your choice?

[dramasnot6]

My mom

Same Q

[Pendragon]

Wifey! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Pinky.gif

Same question!

[Madhuri]

Nobody I guess.

What distracts you most and what do you do to avoid it?

[Dante Wodehouse]

People. I live in the white house you can just see over the hill and have a pained face. I also throw marbles at trick or treaters. Nobody knocks on the door anymore.:thumbs_up

If you were to be dropped on a desert island, who would you blame?

[Rolandokun]

no one because it was proly my fault

whats your favorit food?

[kandaurov]

roasted penguins (man, I've got to say, that cat in your avatar keeps cracking me up, it's hilarious :D)

quick, a policeman has just caught you in the subway without a ticket. what now?
a) beat the colour out of his sorry skin
b) kiss him and run away, like Bugs Bunny
c) turn yourself in
d) speak a foreign language and act as if you can't understand him
e) dance like Jim Carrey did in 'The Mask' and pray he will play along as well
f) other

[Adolescent09]

f) show him a mini dvd player with that new "Son of the Mask" sequel to Jim Carrey's "The Mask" and hope he goes off to sue the producers, director and actors of that film.

If Santa Clause blew a hole in your celing and arrived with your true lover dangling from his neck and gave that lover to you, would you slaughter santa, kiss him, vociferate curses at him with profane language, or say "please leave."?

[kandaurov]

Hell, I'd kiss the girl, not Santa! :D

What is Santa's part-time job, when his business is slow (like in every month except for December)?

[The Bookinator]

He is an expert "taster" for professional chefs and bakers around the world. That belly isn't just from cookies and cocoa- the man needs substance.

On Christmas Eve, do you leave Santa cookies and cocoa and carrots for the reindeer?

[Dante Wodehouse]

No.

If you were a hot dog, and you were starving to death, would you eat yourself?

[papayahed]

then where would I be???


What magazines do you read regularly?

[dramasnot6]

Newsweek,Scientific American,New Yorker, Washington Post magazine, and The Vegan are pretty much the only ones i ever pick up. The first three are read religiously.

How do you approach a take-home essay?

[LtotheJ]

I would take it home and write it.

What would you do if you had to choose between a very nice car, but you will never be able to pay it off, or a beat up car, and you can pay it off?

[Pendragon]

If it drives, it's fine! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/chief.gif

Fancy house or simple one?

[dramasnot6]

Something in between probably.

Dream job?

[Bakiryu]

writer

same Q?

[BibliophileTRJ]

I once took an on-line "What job are you best suited for?" quiz....

My top 3 Jobs (in order):

1) Assassin
2) Pirate
3) Train Conductor

Since I get motion-sick on trains and boats.... I guess I have to go with Assassin.

Same Question

[kiz_paws]

Dream job? I would love to be the person who gets to pick color names for cosmetics. Like "pefectly peach" or "barbie pink" or .... ok you get the picture. Second to this, well a writer, NATCH!


"He is an expert "taster" for professional chefs and bakers around the world. That belly isn't just from cookies and cocoa- the man needs substance."

The Bookinator -- you made me laugh off a rather bad day, thanks! :lol:

Next question: flats or heels?

[Pendragon]

I take it you have seen my pictures? Could you even imagine this 300+ pound (but finally loosing weight! ;) ) GUY, in HEELS? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Sauve.gifhttp://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/ROFL.gif

Jeans or dockers?

[The Bookinator]

Anytime! :p

I like flats. (Mainly because I wore heels to a funeral once and almost killed myself while climbing up the stairs to the church. That's the only time I've ever seen someone smile at a funeral.)

Stupid gravity.

CD/mp3 player or listening to the radio?
--------------------------------------------------------------

Edit: Alas, Pen beat me to it.

Answer to Pen...

Jeans. T-shirt/sweater + jeans = Bookie's outfit


CD/mp3 player or listening to the radio?

[Bakiryu]

BOTH

iPOD OR CD PLAYER?

[papayahed]

Since I'm not a fan of ipod I'll choose CD Player.


What are you planning on doing today (tomorrow)?

[Bebbin]

I'm planning on finishing my dreaded history research paper. :sick:

What holiday(s) do you dislike?

[dramasnot6]

Hmm, I like most holidays actually. My least favorite would be Australia Day because the only thing people do to celebrate is barbeque and i dont like BBQ.

What is your favorite kind of tea?

[kandaurov]

The one I don't have to drink :p

Have you been having a good day so far?

[Pendragon]

Yep. All 45 minutes of it! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Jolt.gif


You like your coffee black?

[kandaurov]

Don't like coffee at all. Nor tea, nor alcoholic drinks, nor energetic drinks, and, recently, not a big Coke fan. Guess that I'm not much of a drinker, heh

If you were in space (proper astronaut equipment, don't worry :p) what would be the very first thing you'd do?

[Niamh]

Look back at earth and joke 'Hey i think i can see my house from here!'

same q

[Shalot]

The first thing I would do is flip around in the space shuttle because there's no gravity (you also see that on TV). That looks so fun.

Have you ever cut a "friend" out of your life and if so why?

[kiz_paws]

I had to subtly and slowly get someone out of my life because they kept updating me as to what my ex-boyfriend was/is doing and all about him, even after I married my husband. She still tries, on the rare occasion we see one another, to catch my ear and tell me ALL ABOUT xxxxx. (I think it is only because we shared a few really fun years together, a bunch of us, and she is just clinging to that and not moving on...).

Sorry for the life story there, lol....

Anyhow, if you could change the color of the White House, what would you pick?

[Dante Wodehouse]

Plaid.

How do you show the quotes etc. after posts?

[Shalot]

If you're asking what I think you are it's this:

1) Type this: [quote]

2) paste whatever you want to show up as a quote and then type the word quote between brackets again, but put a slash in front of the word "quote" between the brackets to indicate it's the end of the quote [/]

Was that clear at all?

[papayahed]

Yep, or you could just highlight the text and hit quote in "go advanced".


What is was you favorite class in school?

[kiz_paws]

Plaid.

How do you show the quotes etc. after posts?

Er, maybe you are speaking about the SIGNATURE? If you go to Edit Signature, then whatever you put there will appear under all posts that you make. Is this what you mean, Dante? :)

My favorite class in school was definately the Theatrics one (though Creative Writing was good, too)...

Same question for the next poster...

[cuppajoe_9]

English, at least after grade 12, when I finally got a somewhat competent teacher for it.

What is your favorite dish to cook for yourself?

[dramasnot6]

Tough!
Hmm, to cook for myself? I usually think cooking for others is a great part of the fun.
Coming home alone and making myself some wholegrain pasta with seaweed,veggies and beans is always a comfort. With that dish I can just throw whatever ingredients I want in without people complaining about "too many vegetables" or the "suspicious look of seaweed" and I can enjoy it for what it is and that i had fun making it. No worries about aesthetics or suiting it to others taste.
Same Q

[BibliophileTRJ]

COOK!?!? FOR MYSELF!?!? Are you nuts? I'm a disaster in the kitchen!

Can't consider it cooking, but I make some fairly awesome "Dagwood" Sandwiches; and they are my most loved "comfort food". It may not require cooking, but there really is an art to it...taste is just one aspect...arranging the ingredients in a stable fashion is another. Even the best of sandwiches is no good if 3/4 of it squishes out into your lap during the first bite.

Same question.

[ichellema]

I like to cook chocoatechip cookies all for myself!! :) but honestly for every day...Ramen noodles!!!

What is your favorite hobby?

[Pendragon]

I collect books.

same question

[dramasnot6]

I walk and think. There is often nothing better in this world.

Who is your favorite dance partner?

[kandaurov]

One who doesn't mind to dance on her own :p

Didn't mean to spoil such a good question, so same Q

[kiz_paws]

Tough!

My goodness, this sounds sooooooo nice, drama. I envy your attitude about the kitchen (I am not adventurous at all, lol).

Anyhow to answer the dance partner question? Well, my hubby, natch! ;)

To the next poster, what is your favorite hot cereal?

[Niamh]

i do like ready break with jam!:p such a big kid!


what was/is your favourite subject in school?

[Nightshade]

Social studies by this I mean history the school sytem had wierd names for things


SAME Q

[Niamh]

Whats your favourite smeling bubblebath?

[Dante Wodehouse]

Oddly enough, I don't take many bubblebaths. However, my favorite shower smell is an unobtrusive mint.

If you could choose a quality to have, what would it be (not like wings, but like eloquence or courage)?

[littlewing53]

humility...in the best of times, in the worst of times...

great question d...repeat previous question

[The Bookinator]

I'd like courage. I like myslef the way I am, except for my... unassertiveness. Seriously, in real life (at least I am at the new school I've moved to) I'm rather quiet and subdued. And wimpy. A little bravery would be nice.

Since this is a really good q, (and I'm just a little lazy) same thing.

[dramasnot6]

I think I could use more balance and self-control, I get a bit too intense for everyone sometimes.

What is the most precious document on your computer?

[Adolescent09]

My current 110 page document of my book in progress.

same q.

[kiz_paws]

My most precious document on my computer is a short story that a person very very dear to my heart wrote and sent to me for my reading pleasure. :)

Can you dance the Tango?

[BibliophileTRJ]

Indeed, I can dance the Tango.... in fact, at one point in the long and twisted journey of my life I used to teach ballroom dancing. That was when I was younger and slimmer....my tux would burst at the seams should I try to stuff myself into it now.

Where is the last place that you went for a vacation?

[Moira]

Prague - one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Where do you usually go on a Saturday night to have fun?

[andave_ya]

the family room. My parents, sister, and I usually watch a movie together during the weekend.

What did you do yesterday?

School, then tennis.

What is the first song you though of after reading this?

Favorite movie director?

[manolia]

Alfred Hitchcock

same question

[Dante Wodehouse]

Alfred Hitchcock, but as you've already said him (dej&#225; v&#250;), Francis Ford Coppola.

Can you rattle off clever responses without thinking, or do you wake up in the middle of the night with a beautiful comeback?

[The Bookinator]

Both. Someday's I just fire off remark after remark and other times I'll sit and think about it on the bus or right before I go to bed or shower or something.

What's the first thought that comes to your mind when I say...

lunchroom cookie conspiracy?

[Dante Wodehouse]

Calvin & Hobbes's The Noodle Incident, of course!

I'll go back to my other 'granting yourself an attribute question'. What quality would you give yourself?

the quality of knowing what sounds stuck up or actually smart.

what is your favorite song?

[Dante Wodehouse]

Red Hill Mining Town-U2

Same q.

[PolarTucan]

Fidelity- Regina Specktor

Have you ever had an encounter with a goat? (Do tell if so)

[Shalot]

What kind of encounter are you referring to? No.

Do you have a favorite coffee mug?

[PolarTucan]

such as petting, raising, being attacted by... etc

[Shalot]

I once ran from a goat. Does that count?

Is that your picture in your avatar?

[PolarTucan]

(hehehe, that definitly counts Shalot )

[Shalot]

Well, I'm glad that counts but why didn't you ask the person below you?

Person below me, why didn't PolarTucan Avril ask a new question?

[BibliophileTRJ]

Perhaps because she is preoccupied with goat encounters.
(my only goat encounters (outside of a petting zoo) have been on my dinner plate)

What is your most annoying habit?

[Pendragon]

Snappy answers to stupid questions! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Catfish.gif

[Pendragon]

How long have you had problems with your eyes? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Caveman.gif

Are retorical questions in need of an answer?

[papayahed]

Sometimes when you can reply with a "zinger".

What's a guy like you doing in a nice place like this?:lol:

[BibliophileTRJ]

I'm not entirely sure......I'm still shocked that they let me in.

Did it hurt? When you fell from heaven;......did it hurt?

[papayahed]

I had a few bruises.

Are your legs tired? You've been running through my mind all day.

[Dante Wodehouse]

Not especially

Are you a fan of loopholes?

[papayahed]

Sometimes.

what do you see beyond your comupter screen right now? (I don't mean in a metaphysical sense, just your immediate surroundings?

[Pendragon]

Books! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/BC.gif

What do you do for a living? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/dunno.gif

[dramasnot6]

A student :D A former babysitter,dog walker, catsitter and actor too, if that makes things slightly more interesting :p

if you could have any pet in the world,what pet would you have?

[kiz_paws]

I badly want a sea lion!

Same question to the next poster...

[papayahed]

Those sea otters are the cutest things ever.

Same question

[BibliophileTRJ]

Knute that adorable little polar bear at the Berlin Zoo.

Same Question

[Dante Wodehouse]

A Lilliputian panther.

What would you do with $10,000 or 4,990 pounds?

[papayahed]

I'd put most of it in some type of savings account (probably stocks or mutual funds). Then I'd take some and go on a vacation, perhaps a cruise.

Same question?

[Poetess]

I`ll go shopping and buy a small car that fits me!


Miss me? (silly eh?)

[Nightshade]

Yes! :wave:

If you could do anything at all for a living what would you want to do ?

[andave_ya]

read books watch movies and eat chocolate :lol:

What's your favorite food?

[kiz_paws]

Triscuits with marble Cheddar Cheese (as she crunched happily away on said faves...) :lol:

Who is your most unforgettable character (could be a friend, family member, coach, teacher, -- but must be someone that has interfaced with you, and not a movie star, etc.)?

[papayahed]

A coworker that passed away. He was a giant, really tall and fairly wide. Once I was apparently standing in his way so he nudged me out of his way with his stomach - Another time I walked into the plant and there he was at the break table shoes and socks off scraping his feet with a razor blade - after luncheons he would go around and take all the leftovers home. I could go on...

Good one, Same question
Who is your most unforgettable character (could be a friend, family member, coach, teacher, -- but must be someone that has interfaced with you, and not a movie star, etc.)?

[Adolescent09]

It would have to be my mother. She is the only person I avidly interact with. But I have several friends in literature ranging from Victor Hugo's Quasimodo (although he dies) to Elizabeth Bennett (who I admire with all my soul and heart). And Chief Bromden from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest! He's a great literary friend.

Ok Next question although it sounds ludicrous: If you were isolated from society like me, secluded from everyone with no friends whatsoever who would your "literary" friends be?

[Dante Wodehouse]

Robinson Crusoe, David Copperfield Jr., Calvin, Hobbes, The Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (can't remember his name. Hank something), Jeeves, Bertram Wooster, and those who associate with Jeeves and Bertram Wooster.

Do you aspire to be a 90 year old crazy person who walks around with a cane and sticks it in bicycle spokes (or am I alone)?

[Shalot]

No I don't want to live that long.

Have you ever been afraid to say that you sympathize with the person who is on trial and who has been found guilty of a crime?

[Dante Wodehouse]

No. I suppose it was my form of rebellion against my mother, who's opinion is that it is always the husband and that the chair might as well be warmed up right now.

What would you consider the greatest compliment someone could give you?

[Shalot]

The greatest compliment would be this: "She was a kind human being and she did her best."


Good question, so pass it on.

[Pendragon]

"He never gave up!"

Very good question. Pass it on!

[dramasnot6]

"She made us question"

Same Q

[Madhuri]

Maybe this one -- "She lived her life on her own terms, taking success and failures equally, and made the best of every situation"

What will you do first if you had only $1 in your pocket?

[markymark]

I would go to the gas station and get 3 "star crunches", they are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

If you could have 8 legs or 8 arms, which would you choose?

[papayahed]

Arms I could probably get more done.

If you could have any type of car (or bike), which would you drive?

[kandaurov]

A bike, fastish (haha, neologism), blue, and light, so that if I fall it doesn't crush my leg too bad :)

Great question, so I'll echo it.

[Madhuri]

I just bought one, it's in blue colour, and light enough that I can manage it's weight. But, if I had more money I would have bought a car and that would have been in red colour.

Can you eat 100 green chillies in 5 minutes? :D

[Domer121]

no....


What is your favorite coffee drink?

[Niamh]

Vanilla Latte

If someone asked you to jump backwards on one leg five times and then cry out ' HoHo I found the banana!' would you?

[Shalot]

They'd have to give me something good before I would do that.

If your last name was strange or embarrassing in some way, (perhaps the kids at school called it out when you walked down the hall because it was odd sounding, or because you shared a last name with a certain embarrassing hygiene product) would you have it legally changed?

[Hyacinth42]

No, I have a semi-stupid first name, and while I'll get made fun of a little bit, it's only for a bit by my friends. And as for the ones who don't stop, who cares what those childish, ignorant people think?

What was(is) your favorite subject in school?

[hockeychick8792]

Honors Biology, I have the funniest and strictest teacher there is. She tells it like it is. If you are a dumb popular you are a dumb a** in her eyes. SHe is hilarious though.

Whats your favorite language?

[Hyacinth42]

Math!.... Um, English? It's the only one I speak...

What's your favorite animal and/or pet?

[xosweetyxo33]

Dog

What book did you read that really taught you a valuable lesson

[andave_ya]

The Bible.

What movie did you recently watch?

[Hyacinth42]

hmmm... 100 years of solitude taught me the usefulness of sparknotes? Harry Potter taught me that staying up late and getting up early sucks... But, I think that Flowers for Algernon taught me that living a simple, uneducated is not a bad life.

Same question?

[Hyacinth42]

ooops! Erm, I went and saw The Last Mimsy with my little brother....

[andave_ya]

Wow. How was it? I've wanted to see it for awhile.

Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring extended edition

Where did you get your signature from?

[papayahed]

The Jedi Master Yoda


why did you pick your signature?

[Hyacinth42]

It was a cute movie... My signature is the Monty Python dead parrot skit :D One of my favorite monty python skits of all time (although it is hard to choose)

What does "laudator temporis acti" mean?

[andave_ya]

Praiser of times past. in fitting with my screen name which means long ago.

Which is the best Monty Python movie to watch? It seems like there are a lot of them.

[Hyacinth42]

There's Holy Grail, Life of Brian, and Meaning of Life.... That's the order that I like them in.... My signature is from one of their shows though ;)

Soo, erm, why'd you pick that signature?

[dramasnot6]

Oh geez! How does one choose?

I am torn between Life of Brian and The Holy Grail.


If you could have a coffee and conversation with anyone in the world right now who would it be?

[andave_ya]

Soo, erm, why'd you pick that signature?
My favorite author coined the phrase in an essay she wrote called The Lost Tools of Learning and I really loved it because it applies well to me. Besides, I want to learn Latin.:D

Ooh! I choose Viggo Mortensen. I know that sounds weird but I just finished watching the first LOTR film and am feeling kind of philosophical. By all accounts, he is that kind of person.

Same question.

[dramasnot6]

Hi Andave! How are ye today? :D

I would have coffee with Mira Nair,since she just came out with that movie "Namesake" and I am ironically named after her. It would be great to get to know her, she seems like a really tough woman.

What is the biggest change you think the world will go through by the year 2050?

[Hyacinth42]

hmmmm, It wont exist/be habitable :P we've put so much stuff in the air and water and it doesn't look like we're going to stop putting stuff in any time soon, so I doubt the world will last much longer.


Erm, same question

[papayahed]

I'm hoping for transporters like in Star Trek.




Where's the last place you went on vacation?

[Hyacinth42]

Nags Head, North Carolina

Do you like having background music when you work/read?

[Shalot]

yes, sometimes. depends on what it is. sometimes it can be distracting.

Do you like to go shopping when you're having a low-self esteem day?

[Hyacinth42]

No, I hate shopping

Do you like musicals? If so, what's your favorite?

[Shalot]

no, they're silly to me. (and I'm betting there are some people on this forum who want to slap me for saying that)

Why does Obi Wan tell Yoda that Luke is their last hope in Empire Strikes back? He knew Luke's sister was Leia and so why did he say that? It sounded like he didn't even know Leia existed. Can females not be Jedi? Or is it a Star Wars goof?

[Pendragon]

Call it an "incredible lack of foresight" on the part of Lucas, who seemed to have forgotten he started the Star Wars saga with the fourth movie, which would lead to a multitude of inconsistities in the movies.[The Force was NOT with George Lucas, else he would have foreseen this!] (The book series is better, and Leia is certainly a Jedi Knight, but not a Jedi Master like Luke.)

Question: If you were out to produce a set of six movies, why would you start with number 4 in the first place? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/dunno.gif

[dramasnot6]

this sounds like the Ask a stupid question thread! :p
To keep people confused and interested?

If you were to get anything published, what would it be?

[kandaurov]

I've already gotten last month, so can't answer that :p

Who is the person you admire the most and why? (sorry if this has been asked already)

[andave_ya]

Hi Andave! How are ye today? :D

very well, thank you! :p and yourself?


Umm, let me see. Lord Peter Wimsey (NOT a real person! He's from a book. I chose him because I didn't know who else.) because he's witty and charming but loves collecting old books and solving mysteries.

What would you do with a million dollars?

[Neo_Sephiroth]

Hmmm....Get everything set up to make a decent living then, afterword, personally give some of the money to the charities of my choosing.

I know, I'm sooooo generous.:p

If you were about to get married...Would you invite me to your wedding?

[andave_ya]

Absolutely. considering you're not *that* far off. And I also invite the entire LitNet. I'll let you know when someone asks. I hope you don't mind waiting a while; I'm kinda young. :lol:

where did you or your parents go on their honeymoon?

[IronicMaiden]

I have no idea where my parents went. We went to Ouray/Telluride, Colorado. Funny thing is, we don't ski! :lol:

Where would you like to go (or wish you had gone) on your honeymoon?

[Madhuri]

They didn't, I dont know why, I never asked. My parents probably saw each other on their wedding day (I haven't asked if they met before marriage), they had an arranged marriage. :)

Now I am wondering, I have so many questions for my parents....

EDIT -- I dont know where will I go, or if I will go at all, I have no idea. But, if I have to dream, then the most romantic city (I dont know which one), and outside of India (I hope I haven't dreamt too much) :D

Hey was about to ask the same question as you did.

So the next person --

Where would you like to go for your honeymoon? ;)

[IronicMaiden]

I wish we had gone to DisneyWorld in Florida, but my hubby gets sick on rides. I tried telling him that there was sooo much more to do, but we were short on funds anyway.

When did you get married, or when would you like to be married?

[Neo_Sephiroth]

Hmm...Around the age of 25 to 30. I figure I'll have a hard time finding a good woman after the age of 30. Then again, I'm having a hard time finding a good woman now.:sick: So it's basically a lose-lucky-lose situation.

If you could married anyone in the world, who would it be?:D

[Mrs. Dalloway]

If you could married anyone in the world, who would it be?:D

Johnny Depp :D I really like this actor! :) greaaat

What thing or person do you miss at this moment?

[Neo_Sephiroth]

Johnny Depp :D

What thing or person do you miss at this moment?

:lol:

Must it always be him? *Sigh* Well, even I must admit that he's pretty cool.

Hmmm...What do I miss at the moment? Hmmm...Aww...I can't think of anyone.:( Maybe my room...

What have you been eating today?

[Shalot]

Not much of anything. These diet pills really do it for me. I hope I don't have a stroke or a heart attack though.

Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

[dramasnot6]

very well, thank you! :p and yourself?


loverly! :D


No, but I have plans to do so tonight.

worst sickness you have had?

[Nightshade]

pnemonia....when I was 6, stayed in bed for a week, course it was then I 'discovered' books so maybe not as bad thing....


same q

[Pendragon]

Pneumonia....almost died. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Ill.gif It did kill my brother at age 16 months... http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/EasterCross.gif

same question

[dramasnot6]

pyloric stenosis (http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/medical/digestive/pyloric_stenosis.html)when i was a babe. it almost killed me, i was just saved by some emergency surgery.

what is the most romantic gesture you have ever experienced?

[papayahed]

Chicken Pox in the second grade. The whole class got them at some point.


What are/were your plans for today?

[Shalot]

I returned some overalls that didn't fit and were strangely made. I filled up the gas tank and washed the truck. I am currently studying for a test and I got tired so I am going to loaf around here for a few minutes and then I will fold towels, get the work clothes ready for the week, change the sheets, run the vacuum, put the towels away and go back to studying. How fun is my life?

[Dante Wodehouse]

A fun-packed adventure!

Go to dramasnot's question.

[IronicMaiden]

The most romantic gesture I ever experienced was when my hubby asked me to marry him. On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, we hiked to the top of a mountain that overlooked the city, and at the summit he popped the question. He would have gotten down on one knee, but a mound of busy fire ants was close by. I preferred him unstung and uncrippled--especially since we still had to hike down--so I let him off the hook. :lol:

Same question...

[kiz_paws]

Well, the sweetest thing that ever occured was when the love of my life had these teeny photographs especially made to fit into a locket shaped like a heart (made of pure silver). The locket is only half an inch, if that, so these are teeeeeny pics. One side is him, and one side is me, and when I got that gift, of course one must try the hinge to see if the locket opens up easily, and in it I saw these pics and it was very very sweet. I was deeply touched by this, I must say.

Same q for the next poster...

[papayahed]

I'm confused so I'll answer my question.

Today I went to the mall looking for shoes, I found a brown pair but forgot to pick up a map.


When was the last time you were on a bus and where did you go?

[Pendragon]

Hummm. Guessing 1988. Culpepper, VA to visit another Merillat plant. It was the start of our two local plants downslide...

What was the first time you realized you hated a class in school?

[zanna]

I haven't yet, although I have really disliked certain days in classes. :sick: oh well.

What was the last piece of music you heard that absolutely knocked your socks off?

*mine was Shostakovich's 8th symphony the other evening, and right before that it was a Schumann cello concerto w. a fantastic German soloist. He had the music memorized, and it was a beautiful piece. Sehr impressive.*

[andave_ya]

The Passing of the Elves from the Lord of the Rings the Fellowship of the Ring complete recordings.

Same question.

[hockeychick8792]

I would have to say Urbia By: Kissinger
The lyric were beautiful and I am a suck for anything with a great Bass emphasis!

What is you favorite instrument!?!

[kilted exile]

Guitar, I have this wonderful black electronic bass guitar which I have been attemting to teach myself how to play for a few years now without much success. If I can just manage to play Smoke On the Water I will die a happy man.

Same Q

[Niamh]

the violin. I'm a sucker for sorrow!

favourite type of biscuit an snack?
mines a tunnock tea cake!

[Aunty-lion]

I make the yummiest vegan chocolate chip and almond cookies (even vegan haters love them!).

Do you think there is life on other planets and why?

[The Bookinator]

Yeah, why not? I think its rather egotistical of us to think we were the ONLY life to form in the entire universe. I'm not saying I buy into "I Married An Alien" tabloid stories, but its hard to think Earth is the only one on which organisms can survive. Maybe not in this solar system, but somewhere out there. Who knows? :confused:

same q.

[Shalot]

I think there is. Or least I hope there is. But of course I can't say with any certainty. I hope humankind is not all that is. Hopefully there is life out there and hopefully they are more advanced and their intentions toward us, if they ever become aware of our presence (if they haven't already), are only good.

Same q

[Shalot]

I make the yummiest vegan chocolate chip and almond cookies (even vegan haters love them!).



this is totally off topic, but there is a recipe thread around here somewhere I think. You should post your recipe there.

[kilted exile]

Yes, Statistically I think it would be wierd if of all the planets in all the solar systems in the universe apart from this one rock didnt have any life on it. That said I doubt they are anything like us, and I really doubt they are paying visits to us


Same Q

[Aunty-lion]

this is totally off topic, but there is a recipe thread around here somewhere I think. You should post your recipe there.

Actually, I have been considering writing a whole vegan cookbook. Everyone seems to think we only eat tofu and lettuce, but I would like to prove them delicious (as opposed to "prove them wrong"!).

Hmmm, maybe I will get onto this soon. I could make it half cookbook, half autobiography maybe?:idea:

[Pendragon]

I often have difficulty believing that there is intelligent life on THIS PLANET, but sure, why only this one? This is only a speck in the Universe!
Same question! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/ED.gif

[papayahed]

Hmmm, maybe I will get onto this soon. I could make it half cookbook, half autobiography maybe?:idea:


That's a great idea, I bought my friend a cookbook a few years ago, it was an italian cookbook but intersprursed (sp?) in the recipes were mob stories, it was really cute.




If you could explore any planet safely which would you choose?

[zanna]

I would explore Saturn, because it has all those moons, and the cool rings and everything. Or maybe Neptune - isn't that the green one?

What song is an essential for a jazz-lover's music library, and why?

[Pendragon]

Beale Street Blues. Jazz was born down there!

Do you like Bluegrass music?

[zanna]

What I have heard of it, yes. I wish I could play bass like that . . . wrong thread! :lol:
