Game: Ask the Person Below You

[Chava]

The very very cheapest one (student budget here) and then i can spend hours, days redecorating it so that it looks awesome.

Same Q, not feeling original today

[Zelly]

I had an astronomy one last year. This year... Maybe horses. Or I'll finally get around to making my calender. I've been pondering that for ages. Use pictures of my friends and my favorite horses and stuff. =) *end ramble*

If you were to have to choose between learning to ride and learning to play an instrument, which would you choose?

[NikolaiI]

Oh, what, have to choose forever? Or is it like you get a free choice and you can do the other later if you want? I would go with horses if the latter but an instrument if it was my only chance to.

Have you ever fired a horse from a moving archer?
I mean ever fired and arrow from a moving horse?

[kiz_paws]

No, Nik, can't say that I have! :)

Now, about my trick question: Could you survive a week in a room with only a bed and a calendar?

You could. You could drink water from the SPRINGS from the bed, and eat the DATES the calendar provides you with ... :lol:

[...just throw money...] :alien:

Poster Below Moi, why do some people insist on telling lame corny jokes? :p

[Pendragon]

Hunger. Corn is very nutritious, you know.

What works all day and night, laboring with its hands but doesn't grow tired?

[papayahed]

A Clock!!!!!!


Why did the chicken cross the road?

[AimusSage]

to test if bus drivers stop for a red traffic light that is green. Since the chicken was colour blind, it got run over during the test.

Why did the panda run away to china?

[kiz_paws]

he desperately wanted to try some of that real Dim Sum!

What is clear and sits at the side of the road?

[Shurtugal]

glass bear bottles?

what eats like a pig but doesn't gain any wait?

[thescholar]

me.. I'm built like a rake, and can't gain weigh to save my life!

is the glass half full or half empty?

[NikolaiI]

they both apply.

is dark green "greener" than light green?

[Chava]

hmm.. ever heard of snot green? or goblin green? (both question and answer there i suppose)

[Bakiryu]

ew. nope!

will clowns kill us all?

[Chava]

I really doubt it

Will obesity?

[thescholar]

anorexia comes with an increasing obese population, so probably not all of us.

[Bakiryu]

oh yes!

do you agree with my opinion?

[thescholar]

darn forgot question again.
Have you ever been totally surpised by a politician's behaviour?

[NikolaiI]

(to the above question, either pride, also, or perhaps it was rigged- pride being not wanting to admit being wrong)

hm, dunno, not really.

would they close a games thread for political discussion?

[thescholar]

I doubt it but you never know.

Would YOU close a games thread for political discussion?

[NikolaiI]

Nah.

Are you more like a cat or a dog?

[Chava]

haha, nah, that would break my heart

would you paint yourself like a lion and roar?

[thescholar]

Haha only in the middle of a chess tournament... X)

would you wear a snowsuit in a nudist colony?

[NikolaiI]

nah

would you live in a nudist colony?

[Bakiryu]

yes :p

would you live in a colony of people who wear snowsuits under the summer sun? :D

[NikolaiI]

:lol:
i would visit at least

are we living in an enlightened age?

[Shalot]

yes, from a certain point of view

are national brands superior to store brands?

[Bakiryu]

Dunno.

will the earth really be ruled by insects 500 billion years from now?

[NikolaiI]

Don't think it'll last that long.

How about in 2 billion?

[Shalot]

it's possible

are human jobs being replaced with robots and automation?

[thescholar]

no their being replaced by each other...

[NikolaiI]

You forgot again!!!

What is your favourite Led Zeppelin song?

[crazefest456]

Immigrant Song

Why do I look to the sky (the trees), and not the ground to see if it's snowing?

[AdoreroDio]

Because if one looked at the ground one might see if it had snowed, not if it issnowing, so one always innately looks at the sky to watch for falling snowflakes and the eyes automatically travel to the trees because it is a darker background and therefor higher contrast with which to see the falling snowflakes.

Why am I not working on my essay right now?

[Chava]

Because you, like me, are missing some incentive

When the whistle blows, do you run?

[Gadget Girl]

No, I jump. :D

How many hours do you spend in front of your computer?

[Shalot]

too many unproductive hours for sure

is there anything better than a ham and swiss sandwich?

[papayahed]

Yes. a toasted ham and swiss sandwich or a salami, swiss, red onion, lettuce, and spicy mustard.

What's your perfect food?

[Gadget Girl]

Pizza. Yum.

Your favorite song?

[Pendragon]

Despite some people's claim that I have zero musical taste my favorite group is the Eagles and you can't beat "Hotel California"

Do you like the new Eagle's album?

[BulletproofDork]

New album? Haven't heard it, actually. Is it any good?


Who is your favorite band?

[thescholar]

I value music for poetic language, for powerful lyrics, for the power to evoke thought. Anything like that is excellent, from some Fall Out Boy tunes to instrumental jazz by Kenny G

[Bakiryu]

why doesn't Jihad Joe ever ask a question?

[crazefest456]

I wondered that too... because Joe has his questions answered already; lucky guy!

Why is everyone exploding on each other today (on litnet)?
Why can't we get along?
(2 Q's, sorry!)

[NikolaiI]

1. I've seen no evidence of people exploding! :p
2. Yesterday (your today, time traveler) just had some good lessons for us; when good and bad are let go of, then everything returns to a natural state (peace, or non-conflict)

:p

Question: do you hate me? (eep!)

[NikolaiI]

Nah, I don't hate you.

Question: is the person above me schizophrenic?

[NikolaiI]

It might appear so.

Question: have you ever read "Letter to the RoomFull of Mirrors?"

[Ocelot]

Nope. I haves not. o.O

Have you ever ridden a horse (or pony, to be fair)?

[Zelly]

Only with you! :P

Isn't it amazing that my best friend didn't tell me she joined Litnet, and after reading two of her posts I knew?

[Ocelot]

W00t, w00t!

What're best friends for? :P

[Zelly]

Lots of things. They're endlessly useful.

Why am I so tired?

[Ocelot]

Probably because you woke up at six?

When is Kira coming baaaaaaaack? =(((

[papayahed]

I dunno.

Why must I send out christmas cards?

[Scheherazade]

Because we need to keep the postal service alive.

What would be the best Christmas gift for you?

[Zelly]

A plane ticket. :D


Do you prefer talking on the phone or IMing?

[thescholar]

phone-more personal

Yahoo or Msn

[Gadget Girl]

Both

Do you plan to go abroad?

[crazefest456]

In the summer; Pakistan- shopping! <---I sound so vain:D

Is your skin confused? (mine is; it's supposed to be oily but because it's cold, it's both dry and oily..HOW?)

[NikolaiI]

it used to be, perhaps
i use less soap nowadays
the bare minimum to stay clean!
so that my skin doesn't get dried out too much
and i use lotion on my hands and arms.
that was probably too much info, eh?

[crazefest456]

maybe that's the problem, I use a harsh face wash regularly (I really don't know why...I'd be fine with soap). I'll try it out for a week.
I needed that much info so it's fine, to me...

weird question: Are you fine with everything- yourself, people..etc.?

[NikolaiI]

yeah :)

my question: do you like johnny winter?
this video is "Woodstock"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f50BtRnpV8A&NR=1
my first guitar teacher said...Jimmy Page isn't qualified to carry Johnny's guitar case! When I said something like "This sounds like Led Zeppelin!" to listening to Johnny the first time. Anyway I love him although I've only heard one album- I really like the song "Come On Baby (Let The Good Times Roll)"

[crazefest456]

you're right! that did sound alot like zeppelin, I never heard of Winter before, though. They both have the similar blues influences, for sure... so, yeah! I do like Winter, and his guitar playing is different, but I personally think both his and Paige's is good in their own way...I don't know much about playing instruments though-- I always wanted to start my own cello-rock band :)

I have an 3 hours till I'm supposed to wake up. Should I stay awake or not?

[papayahed]

I'd sleep.


When Christmas shopping how do you not buy a little something for yourself?

[Gadget Girl]

Stay away from the mall.

Will you buy a little something for yourself this Christmas?

[Shalot]

well yes I would. You gotta take care of yourself. :nod:

what is a good present to buy for your dad?

[Chava]

Er, seeing as he lives in another hemisphere, and i haven't seen him for over a year... I don't know. Usually he asks for vitamin pills, since it's hard to get in Indonesia.

In danish christmas has nothing to do with christianity. It is called Jul, or as the viking's introduced it in the english language, Yuletide. and our Santa is not based on a saint. What is 'Christmas' like for you?

[Ocelot]

My family's not religious so Christmas has always just been about family, and presents, when I was younger. Now it's mostly just about family and "the Christmas Spirit". We spend lots of time with the family and exchange gifts, but that's pretty much it.

Has it ever been up to you whether someone you love lives or dies?

[BulletproofDork]

Nope! And I hope it never will be.


Ever gotten a ticket for more that jaywalking or speeding? (Do tell!!!! :D)

[Bakiryu]

nope, I'm too young. But I've been in jail once, if that counts. :D

have you pulled a fire alarm and ran, ever?

[BulletproofDork]

*sighs* Never done that one, actually. I prefer to think up my own pranks. Is it fun, though?! :D


Do you watch 'Oprah' often? It's slightly humiliating to watch . . . occasionally.

[NikolaiI]

Nah or Doctor Phil
My opinion of psychologists has dropped.
But not of psychology or the great psychologists.

Are crows getting fat in America?

[Pensive]

Yes, they are fat but don't know how much from before. But I know people are getting thinner and thinner in third world countries as the crows in America are getting fatter...

Where do you think lie the fattest crows?

[Shalot]

Probably America, as indicated before.
( I saw a man at the gym with a big fat belly sitting on an exercise bike in his gym clothes and sweat bands not even peddeling, watching a basketball game. It doesn't count as exercise if you don't peddle!)

How did the Hobbits appear in Middle Earth?

[NikolaiI]

Wow. I can remember very very very vaguely that there's an answer to this but I could be imagining that and I don't know anyhow.

Had you read the LOTR books before they ever started making plans for the movie?

[BulletproofDork]

:blush: Never read it. A certain family member of mine made sure that I have all three installments. ;) I'll get around to it someday, though.


Do you like to shop at a certain store?

[Pendragon]

Yeah. Youse writin' a book or what? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/DaGodfeather.jpg

You like my Mafia Don Penguin, "Da Godfeather"?

[kiz_paws]

Yes I do, totally awesome, Pen!

Have you visited my blog? ;)

[Chava]

ehm, nope,

have you visited mine?

[NikolaiI]

yeap

what are you feeling today?

[Bakiryu]

slightly hungover :p

Are we there yet?

[NikolaiI]

yes and no

you were drinking last night??

[Bakiryu]

perhaps.....

it's in snowing where you are?

[NikolaiI]

it's snowed lightly all day

is it where you are?

[papayahed]

NOOOOO!!!! and I miss it. I had my window open and fans on today, currently I'm in shorts and a T Shirt. This is not conducive to the Christmas Spirit.

Same Question.

[Bakiryu]

up in the mountains....

what kind of accent do you have?

[Dori]

I'm not sure I have an accent. American, perhaps? I have a rather low voice and I mumble most of the time. It's certainly not a distinctive accent, that's for sure.

If you could choose one word to describe me, what would it be?

[Bakiryu]

unique :p

People can't be described with just one word :lol:

same q.

[BulletproofDork]

Interesting!

Same q.

[NikolaiI]

ha
yellow
because of the avatar

would you meditate in an alien graveyard? i meant elephant, but would you in either?

[Chava]

Em, probably not, it wouldn't do anything for me, but by all means, go ahead :)

Where are you from?

[kiz_paws]

I am from the Canadian Prairies, where they grow the wheat, where the forests are green and full of trails from which to take the doggie for a romp daily!

And what about you, next poster -- where'ya from?

[BlueSkyGB]

At the present time, I live in the middle of my own 10 acres of woodlands in Kentucky....:D

[Pensive]

Neverland-ish, through and through.

Have you ever felt that no one except those whose blood is running inside you, really cares for you?

[symphony]

u mean noone except my blood-relatives? not really. there were times when i really felt it by heart that my best friends care for me....


same ques., cant think of anything myself.

[beyondhuman]

No.

Have you ever though about killing someone?

[NikolaiI]

Yes.

Have you ever memorized a poem?

[Pensive]

Yes.

Have you watched Donnie Darko? And if you did, how did you find it?

[NikolaiI]

Yes, I love it, I've seen it 5 or 6 times, it's one of my favourite movies. It took a few viewings to understand all of it, but the whole thing is so great- virtually flawless...

Have you ever memorized a movie?

[Pendragon]

I've memorized a lot of things. A line from the Alec Baldwin version of The Shadow nearly got me sent up to hospital once. My counselor was being difficult and pushy and had already ticked me, when she stated I was probably setting there plotting to kill her. I laughed and sardonically replied that "If I had of wanted you dead, your liver would have been on a pole before now." Shiwan Khan's remark to The Shadow. Sometimes it doesn't pay to memorize movie lines...

Do you live in your head?

[papayahed]

No.

What movie should I get from Netflix next?

[kiz_paws]

Ehmmmm, howsabout Donnie Darko? ;)
I also love that show, the music, everything about it!!

Do you think it is weird that so many favour Donnie Darko?

[Remarkable]

I don't know,I don't find a lot weird.

Why do you think great rock stars tend to commit suicidal and at a very young age?

[kiz_paws]

Well, personally, I don't believe that it is intentional -- methinks that the fame and overwhelming feeling of never having a quiet moment ever ever again (once in the public eye, and all) -- that is quite scary, and some seek other avenues to 'be alone' (heroin addiction for one) ... before long, death comes knocking.... very sad, actually.

OK, enough of my sermons -- do you think that people for the most part are inherently good, or inherently evil?

[Zelly]

Inherently good. I think that everyone has both however. And the innocent can easily be led astray. In addition, what is perceived as evil sometimes could also be called laziness. Just my opinion.

Why is it that webcams are so fun?

[Pendragon]

People are perverts.

Is you life ruled by what another says or does? For example, if I should make you mad, are you going to let that stop you from doing something you enjoy to avoid me, or will you have the guts to say (there is no violence involved, just a few words, and no threats, so no reason to suspect violence from either party), "Hey you hurt my feelings the other day. When are you going to grow up?' and continue to do what you enjoy?

[NikolaiI]

Sometimes I'm timid. It's difficult to have a conversation with someone like that. There's often basically no way to get through to them. Besides, it could be better to just be silent. That way you probably won't make the situation any worse, especially if the person is looking for a fight. Furthermore, did what they do or say really make you suffer so badly? I think bearing suffering out might be a good way to look at it if someone is 'making you mad.' If you deserve it then you should bear it, and if you don't, then whatever bad seeds they're sowing will eventually come back to them. Just sow good seeds for yourself, and you'll reap what you sow.

What is your favourite martial art, and why?

[kiz_paws]

If you deserve it then you should bear it, and if you don't, then whatever bad seeds they're sowing will eventually come back to them. Just sow good seeds for yourself, and you'll reap what you sow.
Wow, what a wonderful way of putting things... :thumbs_up

ANYHOO: What is your favourite martial art, and why? Tai Chi is appealing because it can improve physical health, equip one to defend themself, and can improve one's power of meditation. So, yeah, sounds good to moi!

If you could have any animal in the entire world as your own sweet pet, what would you choose?

[wild_diva]

I would looooooooooooooooooooveeeeeee to have a tiger...

Do you think its important to have an education?:yawnb:

[papayahed]

Yes, it's important.

What should I have for dinner?

[wild_diva]

Xorovats-its an Armenian dish! Tastes soooooooooooooooooooo goood!



Would you rather have hundred thousand dollars right now or one million in 10 years? :idea:

[AdoreroDio]

One Million in ten years- I'd be 26 then and would use it to by a nice home, pay of college, etc. Much better then having a hundred thousand right now.

same ?

[crazefest456]

100,000 now to pay off the small loan on my parent's new house, and the rest to go into my college expenses next year..

same q.

[wild_diva]

I'd rather have the 100.000. In 10 years one mln might worth as much or maybe slightly more than 100.000. On top of that, who knows what will happen tomorrow to plan 10 years ahead. :)

How are you?

[wild_diva]

One Million in ten years- I'd be 26 then and would use it to by a nice home, pay of college, etc. Much better then having a hundred thousand right now.

same ?

that baby is tooo cute :)

[kiz_paws]

so the question was, is that baby cute?

Oh yes, indeed it is!

Have you ever put snow shoes on your feet and tried to not sink into the deep white stuff?

[wild_diva]

so the question was, is that baby cute?


Actually the question was "How are you?"

I am sure that the baby is cute, so that one was a statement not a question:lol: .


Now the answer your question:

Yeah I have, but back in my country.


What would you do if you wanted someone to break up with their gf or bf?

[RoCKiTcZa]

You don't break them up. I mean, you shouldn't. You wouldn't want somebody else to break you and your bf/gf up, either, would you?

I'll just go with the same question.

[kiz_paws]

Oh no, never interfere in life's loves, bad karma, bad karma!!

Wild_Diva, yes, you did enter a question and my block-head missed it ... DOH! Oh, and welcome to LitNet, btw!!

OK, question -- if someone really nice had a total jerk b/f (or g/f), would you just go along and act like nothing was wrong, or would you do something?

[RoCKiTcZa]

I'm the kind of person who'd always be honest with a friend no matter what. If I knew someone like that, I'd tell him/her. Then he/she might realize that it's wrong. If he/she insists, however, I'd leave the two lovers be. Maybe there is a valid reason behind it after all. Or maybe he/she prefers to learn his/her lessons by experience.

What would you if the person you fell in love with suddenly became your worst fiend?

[wild_diva]

how would he become my worst friend? im a lil confused here...

[wild_diva]

Wild_Diva, yes, you did enter a question and my block-head missed it ... DOH! Oh, and welcome to LitNet, btw!!



:thumbs_up Thank Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu:thumbs_up
:thumbs_up

[NikolaiI]

fiend or friend?

[RoCKiTcZa]

fiend. arch-enemy, if you wish.

[Chava]

er, i can't imagine that happening, the closest i can think of is an ex who no longer wants to talk with me, in that case there is nothing i can do untill he gets over it, and realises we are still friends.

what's important in life?

[NikolaiI]

Friends and lovers I still can recall.

Same question, what's important in life?

[BulletproofDork]

COFFEE!!!!



Do you yahoo?

[NikolaiI]

Yes

Do you know the song I posted lyrics from just now?

[Pendragon]

Sadly no

frail grasp on the big picture

[crazefest456]

Sadly no

frail grasp on the big picture
:idea:

it's from the song/line association thread (if that's your question)

Well, she was just 17, and you know what I mean! and the way she looked, was way beyond compare...
Beatles...

How would you deal with disappointment-- is it wrong to be satisfied with a negative response?

[Oniw17]

No, it's not wrong; and I deal with disappointment by not having overtly high expectations.

Are there any methane breathing organisms?

[crazefest456]

yes; (googled it) there are bacteria in the soil that do breathe methane...

Can you die (or harm yourself) by stopping circulation in your feet?

[Oniw17]

Maybe; I think less circulation means greater risk of infection.


How big is the smallest parasite that is dangerous to human beings?

[NikolaiI]

Sadly no

frail grasp on the big picture

"But of all these friends and lovers, there is none compares with you..."

"All these memories have their moments...with lovers and friends I still can recall..."

Okay, it's called "In My Life"
:)

--to Oniw
I don't know!!

Same question, tho.

[Pendragon]

Well, they're Malarial parasites of the genus Plasmodium, and have to be small enough to come out of a mosquito bite. That give you a general idea?

How tall was Goliath of Gath, according to the Bible?

[Oniw17]

Depends on the source of I Samuel, either 6.5' or 9.5'.

Can you swim?

[thescholar]

yes. In fact, I can scuba dive.

can you scuba dive?

[Remarkable]

Oh,no :-( !Well,I can do other things,so...

What happens if one does something wrong?

[papayahed]

Depends if you get caught and by whom.


Have you ever gotten a ticket for speeding or some other driving infraction?

[thescholar]

No, but my dad did once, and got off since the conversation went like so:
Officer: I've been waiting all day for someone like you
Dad: Well, I got here as fast as I could!

[thescholar]

Where would you go for your dream vacation?

[NikolaiI]

The Other Shore.

Would you ask a stranger in line at a restaurant what their cologne was if you loved it and wanted to know what it was?

[Gadget Girl]

Hmm, I don't think so. I'll just remember the scent and find it in every shop I can go to.

Do you play the game 'Hitman'?

[DeepTrance]

No. I am a peaceful man.

Where is the most beautiful place in the world?

[Domer121]

Cumberland Wisconsin...

Where is the one place you wish you were right now?

[kiz_paws]

No, but my dad did once, and got off since the conversation went like so:
Officer: I've been waiting all day for someone like you
Dad: Well, I got here as fast as I could!
:lol: :lol: :lol:


[Domer! How've ya been??] ;)

And the one place I wish I was would have to be my snuggly warm bed dreaming of apples and cinnamon on top of two scoops of vanilla ice cream. :thumbs_up

For the next person, who is/was the person who made the biggest impression on you in your entire life?

[Wyoecho]

My Mother. She taught me to take life as it comes, like it or not!



What is your favorite way to spend a Sunday afternoon?

[BulletproofDork]

Usually, I'd watch a movie with my family.


Same q.

[Shurtugal]

watching something, goin' on the computar or letting my imagination run wild!

same q.

[Chava]

Getting all that work done i procrastinated my way out of during the week. Sunday's are good that way.

Whats the best day in the week?

[Remarkable]

Probably Monday.All is fresh and untiring.You have time while you're also busy.You have slept and rested and also had some fun ofer the weekend.The nyou can get something finished or meet some people you can't at week-ends.And then,till Saturday,it's absolutely...horrifying...

What do you want to do right now?

[Chava]

Sigh, to be honest i really want to finish all this work, and then i also really don't.. One of those, her brains said yes, but her body said no things...

Do you own a lot of self discipline?

[Remarkable]

Not really...Actually,it depends on what I do...But not really...

Do you like speed and why?

[thescholar]

Speed=Adrenaline=:) :thumbs_up :D
so yes... speed is good. But there is such thing as too much of a good thing!

Apple of Knowledge or Apple of Life?

[kiz_paws]

Apple of Knowledge

shoes that are too tight or shoes that are flopping off your feet?

[Oniw17]

Depends on the occasion. If I'm not expecting to play any sports or get jumped, the latter. I have velcro on the shoes I usually wear though, so I can have both?

Is it snowing yet warm enough to leave your windows open where you live too?

[Chava]

brr no... airing out takes a few minutes in which i look a bit like a human bubble, of hats scarves and jacekts

Do you (wether permitted) sleep with the windo open or closed?

[Remarkable]

Usually with the window opened.When I am exeptionally cold,I not only close the window,but I also warm the room before sleeping.

Why do threads have to have so many pages?

[papayahed]

Because people keep asking questions.


What is you favorite Christmas gift you are giving someone else this year?

[BulletproofDork]

Socks! No, no, no. :D A really adorable blue pen, with huge hair and big eyes.


Have you recieved any early christmas presents, yet? If so, which is your favorite?

[Remarkable]

Nope...I haven't even given one away,so that suits me...

What will you give to the person you appreciate the most(and will be able to give a present)?

[kiz_paws]

well, money can buy really nice things (like a new piano, or much needed boots to stay warm and dry in, etc.), but money cannot buy the time it took me to crochet a cute pair of slippers for someone very dear to me. So it will be the crochet slippers, cuz they thought that I couldn't do this task, and I overcame the negative and just did it.

Good question, passed on to the next poster!

[NikolaiI]

Something they cannot repay. :) Or a great CD. :)

What do you dream of if you awaken from the dream?

[Oniw17]

Usually everyday type of things, but I usually only wake up after I've realised it is a dream.

Are you an insomniac?

[kiz_paws]

No, I just got way too much to do to be tied down to sleeping! :lol:

What does Ashes to Ashes really mean??

[NikolaiI]

It means people are confused about how life begins. :D

Or perhaps that we are the stardust ashes of distant stars.

Are you like me and love all animals?

[Oniw17]

With the exception of ~80+&#37; of people.

Same question.

[NikolaiI]

Yes, I do!
Rodents, snakes, lizards, spiders, birds, wolves, bees, etc...

[BulletproofDork]

Naw, I love most animals, but some. :eek2:

Your favorite cookies are . . . ?

[kiz_paws]

Well, I do have a penchant for Raggedy Anns (melted chocolate with oatmeal, coconut stirred in, then dropped onto waxed paper and placed in fridge to 'set')..... OMG, tie me down already!!! :lol:

What is your favorite dog breed?

[BlueSkyGB]

My Favorite is the Basenji..I'm on my third one...and she is a sweety...:)

Same question?
What's your Favorite?

[AimusSage]

A Black Lab.

What is it that makes the world rotate, if it isn't the traditional cogs and gears of human motions through time?

[Chava]

does it matter?

Is physics a religion?

[AimusSage]

Only if you go to the specialist church of physics, presided over by sir Isaac Newton the imposter. :)

If it doesn't matter I say the world rotates on a jelly powered contraption made of cake.

What would be a better way to make the world rotate?

[Chava]

isn't there some calculation that if all chinese citizens jumped at exactly the same time, across timezones, then they could move the world, just a little bit? (Best friend studies physics at uni)

why is Aimus online so sparingly?

[AimusSage]

I hadn't noticed, I'm on line a lot, but I am a predator that lurks in the dark, waiting for the occasional troll or spammer to walk into my trap.

(Your friend picked a fascinating subject :nod:)

Sometimes I take a brake though.

Why is Chava asking me about my online status? Is she afraid she might fall into the traps I have lying around? :p

[Chava]

Not at all, she just wishes you were around more for spontaneous thread hi-jacking, like in the good old days :)

What colour are turnips?

[AimusSage]

Nowadays, with numerous dyes available for the most vain of turnips, they can take just about any colour they like. It's really a product nobody needs, least of all the turnips, but a clever marketing campaign convinced the average turnip that is was not okay to all look alike. It emphasizes their individuality by making them mass consumers, oh the irony :D

How can a moderator hi-jack a thread and get away with it? Shouldn't he warn himself not to do it?

[Chava]

Isn''t that the point of being a moderator? you get to do what ever?

When was Aimus made moderator? someone accept responsibility, and emit themsleves somewhere isolated and quiet, where you get fed pills everyday...

[AimusSage]

I was made moderator when the big red button had a temporary lapse of reason. It was quickly restored to reason, but the damage was done :D

It's all quite harmless, I just need a good and proper nurse to keep me focussed.

What is this place that is isolated and quiet where one gets pills everyday?

[Chava]

I have never been there, but i imagine it to be internal bedlam

Does Aimus know what Bedlam means?

[AimusSage]

Only if people have a great sense of misdirection and the doctors are as mad as the rest of us. ;) I would hardly call it quiet though. :eek:

What is it that makes you who you are?

[Chava]

good question aimus, care to answer?

[Bakiryu]

I was dropped in my head when I was a baby....:p

(jk) Probably chocolate.


What's the first thing you think about when you hear the word "squidoodle"?


edit: hey! I saw Aimus question first :(

[NikolaiI]

skantimoo :lol:

What is the 47738th letter of the alphabet if 27th is a?

[AimusSage]

Edit: I Dunno? A 'B'?

What makes me me would take ages to explain, and I'm not 100&#37; sure at the moment, but I think it has something to do with what I identify with :p

But you too must answer the question Chava!

Baki, you can answer my questions any time you like :p

A squidoodle?

That would be the a doodle of a squid, much like a squid that is drawn when one is one the phone. That is what I thought off. It really is all that I can think of when I see 'Squidoodle' :D

Whoever said a palpable lie is not a truth half baked?

[Chava]

I have no answer,

What makes me who i am?

[AimusSage]

I think that what makes you you is a question only you can answer fully and accurately. I can say what I think makes you you, but it will not be your answer.

Do you think it's getting a little foggy in here? I smell armchair philosophy around the corner.

[Chava]

i smell nothing, no i refuse to psycho analyse myself! I'm composed of all my passions, the things that inspire me, the things that inspire emotions in me, The people i surround myself with, my history, my future, my hopes my realities, my increasing arthritis, my dancing, my music, The people i have loved, those that have loved me, those i have not appreciated and those whom have hated me. I'm a product of what people have expected of me, and i'm the one who decides which expectations to live up to. I'm a person who changes constantly, i'm affected profoundly all the things i experience. I make myself up. I i live in my own dreams, and i pack them out when no one is watching. I'm a constant in so many peoples lives, and i'm a brief encounter for som many other's. I'm someone who is as of yet not contented, but whom is contented to be content later. Me am I.

Long enough for you?

[AimusSage]

That is quite an apt answer, it tells a lot of things, most of all that you know yourself better than I know myself. :nod:

Lest the smoke gets so thick one cannot breathe, I think it is a good idea to ask a question on the subject of icecream:

What is the best ice cream to eat while watching a movie?

[Chava]

hmm, it a vanilla with rum, caramel and chocolate, WHEN you come to Denmark and join the festival i will provide it, and we can all sit on a hill, listen to music, smoke shisha, and eat what we call "turtle" ice cream ;)

What's the most intense ice cream flavour?

[AimusSage]

Vanilla is the most intense, it's so simple and basic, but it is the simplicity that makes it so perfect for a summer afternoon in the garden.

Hey, I'm starting to like this whole trip to roskilde more and more :D You make it sound very appealing :D Except for one thing, why is it called 'turtle' ice cream?

[Chava]

haha, because we have these chocolate turtles here that are filled with caramel and rum... yummy yummy http://www.marginata.dk/Artikler/0.8A%20skildp.jpg

Are you familiar with this treat?

[AimusSage]

I do not think that I am. but it sounds good.

What is it about the da vinci code that bugs you?

[Chava]

only people obsessing about it, for it's merits and for it's downfalls. I hate to say this about any page with words, but "It's only a book okay!"

Wait a minute what bugs Aimus about the Da Vinci Code?

[AimusSage]

Oh, nothing much really, other than that I couldn't be bothered to read beyond the first 20 or so pages. I was just listening to some of the film score when I was thinking of what to ask next. The film score is actually quite good. :)

I think this is my last question before turning in: What is it that makes people stay up late when they ought to be asleep?

[Chava]

They are looking for answers

Did you remember to ask the right questions?

[Shurtugal]

um... yes.

does not the name Amadis sound lovely for a name!?

[Bakiryu]

Amadis? Sounds very girly to me. But reminds me of Amedeus from QTD for some reason.

Why?

[thescholar]

No idea; my life's goal is to truly know the meaning of "why?"

do you use the word "Ginormous?"

[Bakiryu]

I'll stab myself to death first.

do you use the word "like" more than 10 times a day?

[crazefest456]

I'm guilty as charged :(

Do you like coffee?

[samercury]

I don't like coffee, I love coffee

Ever tried to make a car out of paper?

[crazefest456]

no, I made a plane out of paper and broken floppy discs and gum wrapper (I don't like spending money to make school projects)

Do you love licking envelopes?

[samercury]

No, 'cause every time I do, I end up getting a tongue cut (wwhich is why I'm happy about those non-lickable ones)

Do you?

[*Classic*Charm*]

depends on the envelope. My envelopes at home taste good, but the ones at work are nasty.

Would you rather send someone a letter or recieve one?

[crazefest456]

Send someone, because I know I'd put my heart and soul on making it right (not perfect).

Do you like thermoses? If so, what brand?

[Shurtugal]

um...?

[BulletproofDork]

...?

Have you ever tried to rate your own blog entry? :D If you have a blog, that is.

[Chava]

in the winter, i might, it's cold out there!, but i prefer tights with loads of colours and patterns

green or black tea?

[Shurtugal]

whoa, chava, what the bloody heck does that have to do with BP question?

[Chava]

whoa, chava, what the bloody heck does that have to do with BP question?

hahaha good god, where did i pick up that?! hmm, fear not, happens to me all the time. spent half an hour looking for industrial psychology in the bookstore, turns out the customer was searching for "100 bird songs" ... gee, THAT was really embaressing!


Uhm, back to the question i guess? green or black tea?

[Shurtugal]

neither.

crazy or just not normal?

[Oniw17]

Depends. Some people really are crazy. Then others are eccentric.

Elitism or Individualism(not that you can't have both, but one almost necessarily limits the other)?

[Shurtugal]

i was referring to yourself. but that ok.

uhhh, i'm not sure.

would you give up your whole lively hood to travel back in time and live exactly like they did for 5 months?

[Pendragon]

No. But I would give all just to be able to go back in time and change things,

Would you like to change a moment of time in the past?

[Chava]

Not really, There are things i am close to wishing altered, but not really, after i've thought about it. Still, I'm young, i have not had time to make many mistakes yet.

think carefully, who has influenced your life the most?

[NikolaiI]

Andrew Atabekov

Same question! :)

[AimusSage]

the person who most influenced me is myself.

What is it that makes a person care for others?

[NikolaiI]

Mostly habit or empathy, or just wanting others to care about oneself.

same question

[AimusSage]

I don't know the answer. It is a mystery to me.

Why is there a universe outside of our bedrooms?

[Shurtugal]

ooooooooooooooooooo.... that's a good one. ouch, i don't know how to answer it.

same q.

[Oniw17]

The only time you can be sure is when you experience that world directly, otherwise it's just pressumptious speculation. I believe in the world outside of my bedroom when I'm not outside my bedroom for the same reason I believe that the sun will grace my home tomorrow. So far, I've found my own subjective experiences to be fairly consistent, and I've seen the outside world before.

same question.

[crazefest456]

the world outside my bedroom is what isn't inside my bedroom (my dreams don't flourish outside, neither does my true demeanor)...i agree, it is a hard question, so:

same q

[NikolaiI]

There isn't a universe outside our bedrooms. We're in a bedroom outside of the universe. Is there a universe outside this bedroom?

[crazefest456]

of course; how could we dream of the divine when there is no universe outside of the universe i.e. our bedroom?

should there be something beyond our bedrooms?

[NikolaiI]

No, we are already outside of the universe; I'm wondering if there's one beyond that?

Our bedrooms should have parellel universes in the closets.

If you had a multi-dimensional bedroom, would you tell anyone?

[crazefest456]

Our bedrooms should have parellel universes in the closets.
:eek: what do you mean? We don't?

I would tell them, bit by bit, but they wouldn't understand...which is good, i think.

would you?

[NikolaiI]

"Even though I was their captive, the Indians allowed me quite a bit of freedom. I could walk freely, make my own meals, and even hurl large rocks at their heads. It was only later that I discovered that they were not Indians at all but only dirty-clothes hampers." - Jack Handy

:lol: :D

Sure I'd tell some people. I mean if you show them, they pretty much have to believe you, right?

What would you do if you woke up on another planet where there was magic, orcs, dragons, and all sorts of unimaginable wonders, fantastic, both good and evil alike?

[kiz_paws]

I'd stand tall and sing in a crisp clear voice "The Hills Are Alive With....." :lol: :lol:

What would you do if you dreamed that you were sleepwalking only to find out that you HAD been, and strange things had been going on??

[AimusSage]

I'd blame Bob the hypnotist for not telling me he put a spell on me during the educational show. And demand to see the king.

What door leads to the outside?

[kiz_paws]

The door at the very bottom of your change purse. But don't let that get out!

Why can't some people keep secrets?

[andave_ya]

Because some people will use any excuse to be the center of attention, for a moment in time.

What do you think of my avatar?

[NikolaiI]

I love it it's quite nice!

Same question :)

[andave_ya]

Please tell me who he is? I do like it, but...?

What's your favorite color?

[NikolaiI]

They're all so beautiful. Blue or yellow.

My avatar is a pic of Johnny Winter, a blues guitarist.

Yours is of Gimli..??

People have health, but do they have manna?

[andave_ya]

Only if they want it.

Can you hear me? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me? :lol:

[NikolaiI]

Yes but if you don't say anything more interesting than that I will have to hang up on you!

Is it snowing where you live?

[kiz_paws]

Yes!

And did I hear you say GIMLI?? :thumbs_up

[NikolaiI]

Eh? Was that right?

Do you say eh?

[kiz_paws]

I (we) do, hee hee!

Did you know that my country is spelled:

C eh N eh D eh ??

[please no Canuck be offended, it is an old joke, afterall!]

What Gimli were you referring to, my friend? ;)

[NikolaiI]

In andave's avatar.

I'd heard of that one before. It begins with a C, eh? :)

Where do Canadians keep your armies?

[kiz_paws]

In our sleevies, of cawse! :lol: :lol:

Why didn't I get the Gimli thing before? :blush:

[NikolaiI]

Focus, Kiz, focus! :D

What song begins "Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are the only Beatles in the world."?

[kiz_paws]

I am not sure, (sad thought, mind you), would it be one from the Winters brothers?

Why am I trying to answer questions with haiku in the back of my head...

[NikolaiI]

Nope it's by Devendra Banhart.

Are you able to "roll with the punches" if some really unpleasant things shake your world?

[kiz_paws]

Well, I pretend to 'roll with the punches' cuz I hate it when people see me crumble....

Did you know that a dog makes a good listener for life's bad moments?

[NikolaiI]

On some level, I'm sure we all knew. ;)

Do you find the details profound or banal?

[Remarkable]

It depends on the details.In a few cases they are profound and neccesary,in others,utterly banal and ordinary.

What makes a good writer such?

[AimusSage]

perseverance, hands and a brain, together with a bit of creativity, the ability to ignore all negative criticism and a general lack of interest in not writing.

Is there a new sight everyday in your daily life?

[Shurtugal]

every time a meet a person it is a new sight. so in that case, yes.

is it true that life is what you make it?

[pussnboots]

yes I do most of the time

boxers or briefs ?
