Game: Ask the Person Below You

[kiz_paws]

My favorite painter is Dali, and to choose any ONE of his works is too taxing for me. :eek:
I am going to say that my all-time favorite painting would have to be Claude Monet's Boulevard des Capucines. There is just this something about that painting that gets me everytime...

Next poster -- what is your favorite painting?

[sprinks]

Favourite painting? Erm... I don't know. In Art we see so many and every week I'll have a new favourite. For the sake of keeping myself sane, I'll say the one that hangs on my wall - not by anyone famous but by an art student. Lovely monochrome oil painting of a forest with a little cottage next to a waterfall, mountains in the background - it's so beautiful.

If you were to paint something RIGHT now, what would it be?

[mono]

I have an image in my head that, if could paint, I would love to, but I have only written a very long poem of it, thus painting it with words; unfortunately, I have absolutely no talent in the visual arts, except that I can draw a fantastic stick-figure.

If you could master one art (painting, sculpting, writing . . . whatever!), which would you choose, and why?

[weltanschauung]

clear thinking

if you pull the wings of a fly, does it become a walk?

[mono]

I do not see why not, but perhaps a dead walk. :p

Does anyone else here play chess?

[1_winged_angel]

I play but I'm not good...
does anybody like fruits basket??? I know I do!!!!!!!!!

[kevinthediltz]

do you mean fruit baskets? because ive never gotten a fruit basket. and ive never heard of a fruits basket. I suppose its a peach holding a woven bucket of some sort.

Whats the funniest quote youve ever heard?

[GX4146]

not a big fan of quotes

same question

[1_winged_angel]

when life gives you lemmons, you sqirt them in peoples eye?!?!?!?!?!?
is this a quote?!?!?!?!?

[Bakiryu]

OF COURSE! (ps. I also ♥ furuba!)

why does 1984 makes me homesick??????! (I is cuban :)

[kevinthediltz]

Depends, do you want a philosophical (did I spell that right?) answer or a logical answer?

[mono]

I suppose you have every reason to feel homesick, Bakiryu - a good book to feel reminded of when thinking of home.

What book makes you feel the most nostalgic, and why?

[Chava]

Erik Menneskeson (Erik son of humans), this is a tale of Nordic gods that my mom read to me as a child, the book(s) are amasing, and to this day make sure to suggest it at the bookstore.

Do you revel in nostalgia?

[mono]

Revel in it? I get nostalgic over nostalgia.

The past four years, I have purchased personal organizers, and this year I bought one of the Bunny Suicides (http://www.jimmyr.com/blog/Bunny_Suicide_Comic_Pics_226_2007.php), but I still never use it; I end up memorizing everything to do. Do you find use in personal organizers?

[1_winged_angel]

nope!!!!!
same q

[Chava]

I love them, and spend great time designing covers for the plastic inserts, new theme every year, and it's interesting to see the changes in interest and mood from 16 to 20.

Have you ever eaten snails?

[mono]

Once, at age 12 or 13 - not bad, but a little too chewy for my taste.

What ethnic food do you love most?

[subterranean]

Ethnic food? Well, I'm not sure whether Thai food can be considered as ethnic food. But I enjoy it very much. I also found dishes from Eastern European countries (Czech and Hungary) are very tasty!

How do you stick to your schedule?

[NikolaiI]

Well, it changes often, but if I need to get up at a certain time then getting enough sleep helps.

[subterranean]

Well, it changes often, but if I need to get up at a certain time then getting enough sleep helps.

Nik, you ought to post the next question to keep the ball rolling. :)

Why some people don't like coffee?

[papayahed]

Because it doesn't taste good!

Is there anyone that doesn't like ducks?

[1_winged_angel]

duckies are cute!!!!!!!

[Chava]

Sure, me.

Are you a happy person?

[BlueSkyGB]

At this point in my life....why Yes...I am...:D

Do you wonder at the complexity of nature?

[Chava]

Not wonder so much as admire

Where would you like to be right now?

[Joreads]

At home relaxing

What did you want to be when you were younger and did you make it.

[Chava]

I wanted to be a ballerina, or a tiger. I think it might be a little late for both.

do you prefer the warm colours, or the cold colours?

[PoeticPassions]

I don't think colors can be warm or cold... but I think they can be passionate and dispassionate (or more like incite such feelings). I prefer the passionate ones then. Like red, or yellow. or even sea foam green and summer sky blue...

what's the weirdest thing/food/etc. you have eaten? (edible or inedible alike)

[Chava]

I don't think colors can be warm or cold... but I think they can be passionate and dispassionate (or more like incite such feelings). I prefer the passionate ones then. Like red, or yellow. or even sea foam green and summer sky blue.

most colours can come in different nuances, there are certainly warm yellows, reds, and blues, and also much colder versions. Some have a preference, I'm a warm colour person myself :)

I ate deep fried rat once, in the rainforest.

What does chicken taste like?

[PoeticPassions]

yes, I know what you mean by warm and cold colors, I just never liked categorizing them like that. But I suppose I would go with warm then... or maybe it would depend on my mood.

Chicken tastes like... a cross between schnook (a type of barracuda found in South Africa) and tofu (but of a chewier kind... that kind of makes your teeth squeak)

What is originality?

[Neo_Sephiroth]

Me! :D

What in 'da blu blazes in a...Pomegranate?

[subterranean]

Excuse me?

Could you repeat the question, please? :)

[Neo_Sephiroth]

Oops! :lol: Dude, what's a pomegranate?

[Chava]

Some sort of fruit?

Do you have a good posture?

[Neo_Sephiroth]

Shoot...I don't know.

What's "posture"?

[kiz_paws]

Is that like "posturelating" a question? ;)

[PoeticPassions]

Yeah, it's a question that's asked upright... :D

Why are mongoose called mongoose? They're not related to geese or Mongols...

[bouquin]

Not only that:D.... mongoose has a totally different etymological origin from goose and Mongol.


What is your best character trait?

[Neo_Sephiroth]

Having an attitude that could move a mountain! :lol:

Same question!

[Chava]

I have a default mood that is happy.

Do you know how to juggle?

[PoeticPassions]

hm, no not really. Maybe with two objects... I'm sort of a klutz (or lack good hand-eye coordination)

Do you know the rules of cricket?

[Chava]

No, I don't

Do you know how to ski or snowboard, and if not, would you like to learn?

[Neo_Sephiroth]

Do you like...Manga?

[hunbun]

I love manga. its really cute. :D

Have you ever wanted to buy a penguin?

[BlueSkyGB]

No...but have given thought to setting one free and if it happens to follow me home......:angel:


Do you listen to music while reading?

[mono]

Sometimes. I can rarely listen to music with lyrics while reading, too distracting, unless while reading something very simple.

Same question.

[Joreads]

No I can not listen to music while reading I love music to much.

What Pets have you owned?

[sprinks]

A few dogs, cats, birds, guinea pig, fish, a mouse. Now we have Kimber, Mummacat, Basil and Toffee (3 cats and a dog).


What pet would you like to own and what would you name it?

[kiz_paws]

I would love to own a horse and I'd call him Bugsy. But alas, I am allergic to horses (and cats, dangit), so this shall never come to pass... :(

Do you have a favorite classical composer? (Brahms, Chopin, Handel, etc.)

[Chava]

I don't really have a favourite, but I do really love Chopin. And Satie, and... well, a lot of others.

What colour would your cloud be?

[mono]

Definitely a cumulus cloud, one of those less common ones found grouped among others, grayish-blue on the bottom planar surface, white fluffiness on the top.

Whereabouts have you lived, and what area to live do you love the most? What area to live do you dislike the most?

[manolia]

I have lived in Spetsopoula (private island belonging to Mr Niarchos the famous greek millionaire), Peireus, Athens and Patras. If i was ever to leave Patras (the city i am currently residing) I'd definately choose Chania (in the island of Crete where my family comes from). I'd really hate to go back to Athens.

Same Q

[*Classic*Charm*]

I have lived in the same house in the same town my whole life (half an hour from Toronto), until I moved to go to university in a city 20 mins away from home haha

Haha, you were ganked by an over geared twink.

Would you ever swim in the nude?

[Silas Thorne]

Of course! Just not in places where there are sharks or crocodiles...don't want to lose bits.

Why do you think pirates are popular in movies now? Is it due to Johnny Depp, or is everyone a walking copyright infringement and they want to feel good about themselves?

[Chava]

Pirates have always been romantisised. These days I've even seen people who try and look just like Jack Sparrow though...? Fresh shot of creativity please.

Are you ambidexterous? (spelling, I know I can't)

[mono]

Once upon a time, yes, but my handwriting looked entirely different from hand-to-hand to where it looked like a different person's. I can still do many things equally as well with my left hand as my right hand, but not as well as I once did from lack of practice.

Same question.

[PoeticPassions]

Absolutely not... I have a hard enough time with the hand I usually use :)

What is your favorite physical trait/body part/thing on a person of the opposite sex? (er, phrased differently: what do you like the most on a person of the opposite sex?)

[PoeticPassions]

goodness, I stayed up and partied too much at a friend's birthday last night... now at work, trying to focus... so excuse my incoherency...

[1_winged_angel]

.............uh........................
im bored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! r u?

[BlueSkyGB]

Absolutely not... I have a hard enough time with the hand I usually use :)

What is your favorite physical trait/body part/thing on a person of the opposite sex? (er, phrased differently: what do you like the most on a person of the opposite sex?)

The eyes.....they seem to tell a lot about a person, and can be used to convey so many emotions without the need of words..

and for winged angel...not not too much lately, been too busy in my life.

What is a talent you wish you had?

When the winter comes, do you hibernate?

[andave_ya]

No I go into overdrive. School-time :lol:.

Did your parents behavior change toward you when you turned 18? (if you're 18?)

[Chava]

All of a sudden it was, no allowance, and more responsibilities, and a lot of, "Aren't you moving out soon?" But other than that, not at all.

Favourite colour?

[mono]

I tend to stay indoors a lot more, yes, but I do not end up as sedentary as a bear (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_eMG8ySb9Ml4/SYmvgoRWs9I/AAAAAAAAEx0/eg_FmC84vy0/s400/Sleeping-Bear.jpg).

If you wanted to escape winter, what land would you travel to for sunlight?

[Chava]

Hmm, somewhere where there was not currently a rainy season...

Would you learn to dance the Jitterbug?

[NikolaiI]

India - for any reason at any time of year. I just need the funds. :)

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to hibernate as a bear?

[NikolaiI]

No, I have no idea what the Jitterbug is!

I am not a great dancer, though. I prefer some kind of outdoor activity like hiking and camping, actually! :lol:

Do you enjoy campfires?

[Chava]

I can do.

Who are Hugin and Munin?

[PoeticPassions]

Do you think I should get my hair dyed before the Year 12 ball?

[papayahed]

Yes.

Should I get off my butt and do something or sit here for a little longer?

[sprinks]

stay here for a little longer, because it's what I've been doing when I was meant to be going :lol:


Should I go lighter or darker with my hair then?

[Chava]

Darker is more dramatic, if that's what you're wanting?

Are you content?

[AimusSage]

No NEVER! Yet always. Content to a certain extent. That is what I am.

So my HD crashed, well one of them, with all my music on it. I just salvaged the whole lot and put it on my external HD. Should I buy a new pc or repair this one that is over 4 years old and dying? To buy or not to buy, that is the question.

[BlueSkyGB]

If every thing else is still good...just replace the HD....low cost...and the cost on externals is dropping while the memory is increasing
but if you've been longing for a new one...now's the chance..:)

Would you sit at home and watch the sporting event on TV, in your comfy chair
or go to the game and sit in the cramped rafters and so it in person?

[kiz_paws]

I'll go with ZERO SUM. (long story)

Where do you think we'd be now, if Einstein had had the computer technology to help him do what he was doing back then?

This also presupposes that people like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Ho Chi Minh would have also had computer technology - yikes! :eek2:

What personal belonging of yours do you think you could part from the easiest?

[Chava]

nice question. Easy answer, TV.

same question

[mono]

I could part with my television quickly, yes, but that means I would have to part from my DVD and VHS collection, too; I choose it anyway.

What electronic device do you use the most?

[Chava]

hmm probably my MP3 player. Close call between that and my laptop.

What is your favourite fruit?

[mono]

Probably either bananas or cranberries.

Same question.

Black wool, and so long that I can practically wrap my torso with it.

What article of clothing do you like the most?

[Chava]

Normally my pair of indonesian pants, but I'm falling deeply in love with my warm norwegian wooly slippers. I am so, finding the cold my nemesis.

The cleverst clothing item invented?

[mono]

Either those socks with the individual toes, the Elmer Fudd hat (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_PYPoZjkkWF8/R05Gvrt9kXI/AAAAAAAAAoc/Dk8EfZucgR0/s320/shearling-hat.jpg), or Jackie-O sunglasses (http://icon03.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/twins.jpg).

Same question.

[Chava]

Oh man, you outdid me Mono, I was content just thinking about my mittens; however, I think we must conclude that the cleverest must be the first, everything else has been a gradual rip-off from the original. If you haven't guessed it, click here (http://www.lightfactory.org/images/exhibitions/esteeming%20pearls/Loin-Cloth-Reddish.jpg)

[kiz_paws]

The cleverst clothing item invented?I'd say that sackie thing that you see mom's carrying babies in (from either the front of their bodies, or the back of their bodies). Now that is very clever -- baby gets mom's attention at all times, and mom has hands free to do what she has to do. I like that!

OK, my question is this: Why is the dog's nose wet? Honest. WHY?

[AimusSage]

OK, my question is this: Why is the dog's nose wet? Honest. WHY?
Because they lick em all the time? My dog used to anyway, couldn't stop licking his nose. :lol:

Do you enjoy walking?

Is it possible for people to be top atheletes on a vegetarian diet?

How many dishes of rice do you know how to prepare?

Sure, in college for my thesis... and well, sort of. He helped with some ideas and editing, but not as much as I hoped.

What would you give up to save someone's life? (an unknown someone)

[kiz_paws]

My mentor was my piano teacher, who strove to bring out the very best in me, no matter what it took.

If someone tells you something that you know goes against the norm -- do you judge that person, or do you quietly accept that that is just how they roll?

[Oniw17]

My mentor was my piano teacher, who strove to bring out the very best in me, no matter what it took.

If someone tells you something that you know goes against the norm -- do you judge that person, or do you quietly accept that that is just how they roll?

I try to quietly accept that that's just how they roll, but I tend to pass judgement on crackheads and people seem like they're just talking to see what they can get me to believe accidently. Also, I purposely judge people who I know well enough to judge and people who are asking me to do something(not that that judgement usually effects what I do).

Have you visited a library today?

[Chava]

Yes actually. Returning things that I thought were overdue, but were not.

House cat, hands down, no question there, I can just glance over at Holly sprawled on the couch for confirmation!

Is there an afterlife?

[PoeticPassions]

A dolphin.... or perhaps a hawk.

Who do you think you could have been in a past life?

Who would you have liked to have been in a past life?

[PoeticPassions]

[Babyguile]

I think 7 or so

Do you think it's true J.R.R. Tolkien rewrote the first 100 pages of the first book of LOTR 50 times?

I've never heard that fact even though I absolutely love the novels but I'd say that I can absolutely believe that.

Do you believe Lord of the Rings to be simply just genre-fiction or a work of literary merit (watch it now)?

[NikolaiI]

It's a great work, but I may not read it again... I like to read new books generally.

Have you ever had a revelation? How did you know?

[Joreads]

yes when I turned 30 I realised that I was never going to please everyone and it really didn't matter what people thought of me only what I thought of myself. I knew when I felt the great weight lift off me.

Same question.

Yes, I realised that no revelations were coming my way and decided to get on with my life.

In Cyprus.

If you could slap one person right now, who would that be?

same question

[PoeticPassions]

a heart surgeon, then a vet, then a zoologist (my idol was Jane Goodall)... instead I ended up not liking science so much, and went into International Studies (though literature--reading, writing, poetry, etc. have been present in my life since I learned how to read)

what would be your ideal job/career? (you can pick anything in the world, or even something that does not really exist yet :))

still, a detective

same question

[The Comedian]

My "I'm a barbarian answer": Playboy photographer
My "I'm an thoughtful, quiet guy answer": Park ranger for the Badlands National Park in North Dakota, USA (northern unit).
My "I'm a geek answer": Professional AD & D player (2nd edition only, please)
My I'm a wise-*** answer": professional trust fund kid

My "final answer": a Trust fund child who, when not on the professional circuit of vintage AD&D players, spends his time alternating between the Thoreauvian rangering in the least visited park in the US and at Heff's mansion photographing the natural (and supernatural) beauties seen there.

Question: Would you rather win a Nobel Prize or win an Olympic gold metal?

[optimisticnad]

NOBEL PRIZE of course. No question there.

Do you suffer from hayfever?

[The Comedian]

Nope. Maybe because I've spend many summers on the hay fields of the western US stacking hay with my father. Then there was that one time in graduate school (I worked on a farm in the summer) when I stacked hay that must have had poison ivy in the bales. Man. . .that itched.

Would you rather: (1) see the movie first, then read the book, or (2) read the book first, then see the movie?

Read the book first.


What is the most important thing you have to do /have done today?

[The Comedian]

I ran for four (4) miles this morning.

If you could know the exact time and method of your own death, would you want to know?

[mono]

Perhaps not the exact time, but the means, I think it would feel interesting to know. In an Oedipus kind of way, where true fate and destiny exist, and I could die in no other way, I think I could amuse myself by doing these insanely, death-defying acts, knowing I would survive, because I would know absolutely the means of my death.

Same question.

[PoeticPassions]

No, I think that I would rather have it come suddenly and in a surprise. Though mono has a good point about how one could do death defying acts and know that one will survive... however, if I knew, for example, that I was going to die in a car crash, I would probably never want to ride in a car again, or I would be terrified the whole time... this would really get in the way of life. To know death estranges one from life.

What is the best gift you have ever received?

[The Comedian]

Ever? It's a four way tie (what a lame answer, I know)

1. A Buck knife from my dad when I was six.
2. A Cross fountain pen from my dad when I graduated college.
3. A wedding ring from my wife after I duped her into marrying me
4. A picture from my daughter (given yesterday).

What is the best way to overcome fear?

[hunbun]

definitely a space alien :alien:

If there were any words that you could take back, what would they be?
