Game: Ask the Person Below You

[emily655321]

Not if I can help it. I meant my same question as before. But I'll ask another then...

(Ooh! I just noticed my post was the 1000th on this thread.)

...What singer/band did you used to listen to that you are most embarrassed about now?

[amuse]

michael jackson :blush: yes i was very young, and he was not yet female.

hadn't realized these posts are numbered - thanks for pointing that out, em!

what celebrity did you dream of marrying in your youth? :p

[emily655321]

Oh no! Oh geez...when I was 13 it was Steve Burns, the guy on the Blue's Clues children's TV show. I always painted the nail of my ring finger with green and white stripes (his trademark shirt). And then, the same year, we watched "Glory" in History class and it was Matthew Broderick for a while after that. (For some reason I have a thing for the Civil War Union uniform.)

Is it true that people usually end up marrying someone similar to their dad?

[homiezindahouse]

I don't like garlic, too stinky.

What grade are you in?

[homiezindahouse]

I don't like garlic; too stinky.

What grade are you in?

[emily655321]

Who are you responding to? Garlic? :confused:

I graduated high school one year ago plus one week. Took a year off, going to start college this fall.

Same question: Do women tend to marry guys like their dad?

[simon]

I hope not, but it doesn't matter since I shall never get married.

What is your favorite dessert food?

[emily655321]

Mint chocolate chip frozen yoghurt. Ice cream is too...creamy.

What's your favorite breakfast food?

[simon]

Waffles with strawberries and whip cream.

Have you ever had trouble with the police?

[ajoe]

Nope. :angel:

When your cellphone rings when you're in the bathroom doing stuff, do you pick it up and respond like normal?

[emily655321]

Don't have a cell phone. I just let the answering machine get it no matter what, anyway, even if I'm sitting right next to the phone. :p If it's important, I'll pick it up.

Do you care whether the sheets on your bed match?

[amuse]

oh yes. i'm ridiculous in the house. everything must be just so.

do you enjoy thrift store shopping?

[verybaddmom]

yes i love it, i can spend hours just browsing looking for that treasure that no one else recognized. however, it is my sister that really has the gift for finding stuff that rocks. i sometimes follow her around when we shop and then if she picks something up and puts it down, i grab it and its almost always amazingly cool.

do you care about labels when you are shopping, or do you just grab whatever is cheapest? are there any items that the brand really matters to you?

[amuse]

jones new york stuff makes me weak at the knees, makes me look like a million dollars. and gap jeans are the only ones that fit me, so they're high on the list too.
otherwise i could care less about labels.

do you do holidays with family or no?

[verybaddmom]

not so much. i have my son with me wherever i am so i dont cry too hard if we are away from family on the holidays. the thing is, i have NOTHING to do with my dad's family and my mom's only marginally, so its just us anyway as a rule.

do you have many family members that you wish you could trade in for something better, like carboard cutouts of rock stars?

[emily655321]

My brother. And an uncle-by-marriage who is as interesting and appealing as a rotting gypsy moth's nest. I also don't visit my grandmother's siblings-and-descendants-thereof, because they scare me. Quite boistrous. But most of my relatives are pretty intelligent, engaging people. Not that I visit them.

What's the most uncomfortable situation you've ever been in at a family gathering?

[amuse]

almost all!

if you could win a trip for two anywhere in the world where would you go?

[emily655321]

Right now...Maryland. I have my own reasons. :p

What's the most expensive souvenir you've bought on a trip?

[papayahed]

It's a toss up between 5 bottles of Kahlua from Mexico or a small vase from albuquerque.

Whjere is the worst place you've ever visited?

[emily655321]

I don't consider any place I've visited to have been all bad. Even if the visit itself is unpleasant, the experiences and memories and knowledge gained are invaluable, and always fun to look back on. I think the place I disliked the most was Naples, Italy -- it was loud and dirty and sun-baked and I really didn't like the food. But I'm thrilled to have gone and to have the memories that I do. And I also got to visit Pompeii, which was just heavenly.

What's your favorite place that you've visited?

[Jay]

My imagination :)

Do you already have plans for summer?

[emily655321]

My existence for the past year-and-one-week has been a perpetual summer vacation. I'm soo ready to do something other than zap my brain cells against the comp monitor. But with two months left and counting, employment is not looking hopeful, despite my continued efforts. :( What the heck makes me so undesirable?

Did you see Venus move across the sun this morning? (The trees blocked the sun here until it was too bright to see anything -- I think it was over by then anyway.)

[rocksea]

nope, i cudnt, it was a cloudy day today. goddess of love must have gathered the clouds so that she doesnt reveal much of herself before the sun's brightness..

today, june 8 was oceans day as well. though oceans cover around 73% of the earth, does it affect 'your' life in any ways, especially directly?

[Jay]

If I don't take weather and all that into consideration, oceans don't affect my life at all. But I like the theme of ocean in art, pictures, sounds... that kinda affecting.

Is it hot everywhere today? (wonder where to go to cool down a little :p)

[emily655321]

OH MY GOD it was so hot. :flare: :blush: :mad: Misery of misery. It's a bit better now that the sun has set, though.

How do you manage to stay cool on a day like this/tomorrow? (tomorrow's supposed to be worse. :()

[ajoe]

The library always has AC.

Can you see this question?

[emily655321]

Indeed I can.

Why wouldn't I be able to see the question?

[ajoe]

I thought I was doing something to its size, but apparently not.

How about this question? Can you see it?

[Jay]

Positive ;).

ajoe is not going to make the color of the font the same as the background, is she? ;)

[Isagel]

Possibly.
If she did how would we ever know? Is the orange part actually covered in orange writing sending subliminal messages to us?

[rocksea]

she? ajoe is also a she?!! ohhh..

[Jay]

:nod:

You didn't know? (obviously :p) Seriously, truth or dare? :D:angel:

[emily655321]

Dare. (How're you gonna be able to tell? :p)

Do you usually pick "truth" or "dare" when you play?

[trismegistus]

Do you usually pick "truth" or "dare" when you play?

Dare. Always dare. It's generally less damaging than the truth and often quite a bit more fun.

Best dare you were ever forced to carry through?

[papayahed]

Depends who I'm playing with, some dares can be awfully embarrassing.

When is the last time you played truth or dare?

[emily655321]

I don't think I've played since I was 12. The favorite around here in high school was "I Never." It's a drinking game, but the times I played no one drank; we usually had soda just to keep with tradition, though. -- You go around the room and take turns saying something you've never done (gotten a speeding ticket/taken ecstasy/sex; etc.) and anyone who HAS done it takes a drink. :rolleyes: It's pretty dumb.

Have you ever played a drinking game?

[amuse]

no; even at chico state, strangely enough. i'm a very bad drunk, and it's why i don't drink, would probably end up spinning myself rather than the bottle.

what was your most far-out expectation/wish that came true?

[ajoe]

Well, I don't know if it was too far-fetched or even a wish, but one time I was in the car and for whatever reason was thinking of the song "This Love" by Maroon5 (yea, someone shoot me please for admitting these things) and then the radio played it! Actually that happened several times with different songs and after awhile it stopped being creepy. =)

Haha, I bet it took awhile before you realize I wasn't not writing anything, didn't it? >=)

[story645]

Haha, I bet it took awhile before you realize I wasn't not writing anything, didn't it? >=)
Nope, I'm used to spoiler text in the forums I go to and assumed that you were doing the same thing. ;)

What's the strangest thing you've encountered on the net?

[emily655321]

You don't want to know.


Have you ever gotten to know someone really well on the net (you thought), and then found out they were an entirely different person than they claimed to be?

[rocksea]

well i have tried to know in person my friends on net, but not much.

but
but long back i had my girlfriend who was then in czek [she was my junior at school before but then we didnt know much of each other] and our only way for contact was the net. one year later she came back to india for holidays and she told me i was entirely different from what she thought. and it did hurt me so much :( she sounded like i was entirely different from what she wanted,,

what matters most to you, in life and at present?

[atiguhya padma]

intelligent stimulation

where are you going?

[emily655321]

secluded cabin far away from pedantic sheep


When you (you) look into a black shadow, what do you see?

[rocksea]

my own shadow or just a shadow? shadows make me feel good. i like the shadows of trees. sometimes i try to hide my shadow inside the tree's shadow.. once i took a foto like that.. here the tree's shadow was reaching the roots of another tree. i felt like this is how they communicate, how they embrace each other, grow into each other. [hey the pic is attached.. can u see me there.. :D ]

who do you think you are? what defines ur identity mostly?

[story645]

who do you think you are? what defines ur identity mostly?
Me, who else would I be? Mostly, my experiences and choices define who I am.

What are you currently putting off doing?

[Isagel]

Writing a letter.

Have you ever tangoed?

[emily655321]

Nope.

If you saw a giant comet coming straight towards the Earth, and it would be here in 3 minutes, what would you do in those 3 minutes?

[ravana]

Perhaps I would use last chance to save my life standing at the door. It helps during earthquake, may help with giant comet.

How d'you usually get rid of your scare?

[ravana]

EM, great THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!At last my Alex arrived!
I'm really feel well seeing him! GOOD, plus Impulses!

[emily655321]

If it's shadows in a dark room at night, I roll over and close my eyes and don't open them. Other things...yeah, I usually just hide from them. :p So, my answer is: hide.

What scares you?

[emily655321]

LOL! You're welcome, Ravana. :D

[Jay]

What scares me? Life I guess *shrugs*

What makes you happy?

[emily655321]

Good question.

When's the last time you went off by yourself just to explore?

[papayahed]

It wasn't much of an exploration but I was at my Uncle's cottage and i ventured into the woods a bit. (still in view of the house though)

What is the last thing that made you laugh?

[atiguhya padma]

This email:

Subject: FIFA News report.

It's just been reported that one of the French football players has failed a

drugs and alcohol test on Monday after the match. If this is

confirmed as positive, under World Football Federation rules, paragraph 6

sub section 2e, France will forfeit their 3 points and they'll be appointed

to their opponents, England. Scroll down for the full transcript of this

report.

Carlsberg don't send emails, but if they did, they'd probably be the best in

the world.



Who's gonna win Euro2004?

[Isagel]

Sweden! I followed the last game and am suddenly overcome with a patriotic feeling.
The next game for us is on friday, against Italy. A friend sent me a picture of an italian newspaper saying that "The swedes scare us!" Sweet words!

So, who do you think will come second?

[atiguhya padma]

Germany. They're always lucky.

What will the score be?

[emily655321]

How does one predict that?

(That's the question)

[atiguhya padma]

By looking at a ball. It might be crystal.

What are you most looking forward to this summer?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Possibly actually having some time to get stuff done, but since university got out in April and I am still exhausted all the time, I doubt that will work.... So, I will say: My week vacation! Haven't had one of those in 3 years.

Do you like to swim?

[atiguhya padma]

Yes. especially in the sea.

What was your favourite gig?

[Isagel]

I was at a concert with a gospel singer called Cyndee Peters. Although that is not really my kind of music it was amazing. It was in a little church, and she got evryone to stand up, clap hands and sing along. Including me, much to my surprise.


Is it true that in US you only get a cuople of weeks paid vacation? ( In Sweden we have a minimum of five weeks vacation/per year if we work full time. I think it is something similar in Germany as well. )

[amuse]

OMIGOD NO! tell me you're joking? *burns with envy.

yes, we get a couple of weeks unless one works for the state or the federal government for at least oh? let's guess at least 25 years; then the truly fortunate people with seniority get to take a full paid month off should they desire it.

what movie do you plan to see next? or if you don't plan to see particular movie, just whatever catches your fancy, do you do the spontaneity thing often?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Although I can be spontaneous, I really want to see King Arthur

What's your favourite historical time period or event?

[amuse]

england, 1600's

same question (i really like it, Kiwi Shelf :))

[emily655321]

Roaring '20's, baby! The Dark Ages were pretty cool, too.

What era do you wish you had been born in?

[ravana]

I wished to live my youth in - 60-70th years of XX century

Paolo Maldini is very handsome, isn't it?

[emily655321]

Googled him. I think his hair is handsomer than he is. But he's not bad.
(Whenever I think a guy is good-looking, I try to picture him with really short hair and see if he would still look good, that way I know if it's him or the hair that makes him cute. ;))

What's your favorite eye color?

[Kiwi Shelf]

green or blue

Where do you wish you were right now?

[story645]

Where do you wish you were right now?
Retaking my SAT's.;)
Honestly, I want to crawl under my blankets, and probably will soon.

Where do you want to be tommorrow?

[ajoe]

Magic Mountain :)

Why is it the word I thought I was just making up turned out to be an actual word, defined in the dictionary and all? :goof:

[emily655321]

Because you're magic. That or you've heard it before and it just got stored in your unconscious.

What word is it?

[ravana]

I don't know.

Is really "sorry" the hardest word?

em, perhaps you see Maldini's last pictures. I wish you see him some years ago.

[atiguhya padma]

Sorry?

Where is Atlantis?

[Jay]

edit
oopsy, someone was either faster or I skipped one page

[papayahed]

Under all the snow and ice in Anarctica.

Were the Nazca lines put there to guide Alien ships?

[imthefoolonthehill]

sure.

is yoda cute?

[Jay]

yeahsureyabetcha ;)

talking about the Star Wars... Skywalker or Solo :p;)

[Kiwi Shelf]

Tough one, but when I was first introduced I thought Skywalker was the better

Obi Won or Skywalker (new movies)?

[Jay]

Ben

'New' or 'Old' Star Wars?

[Sancho]

I like the old Star Wars. It has a special nostalgic feeling to it. I still get chills when I hear John William’s first few trumpet notes in fanfare song. I saw the original Star Wars as a first run movie in a Greensboro, North Carolina movie theater with a girl that I was head over heals in love with. At the time I was a gangly pimply teenager and shortly after the movie, someone better came along for her and she shed me faster than she could scrape a dog turd off of her shoe. I haven’t seen her since.

You know what? on second thought, I think I like the new Star Wars better.

Casa Blanca or North by Northwest?

[Kiwi Shelf]

I don't know... Never experienced either before

Favourite grade in school

[imthefoolonthehill]

old star wars is better... new star wars has no acting, little plot, terrible scripts, bad casting, bad lighting, bad directing, good graphics, and is directed towards children.

[Jay]

LOOOOL Fool, but agreed :D. Old Star Wars are better :p.

Sancho, you'd be too good for her anyway ;):).

[emily655321]

Favourite grade in school

6th (that is, when I was 11-12). We had the most awesome teacher ever ever ever. There's no room to begin to describe it. But there were monkeys involved.

And for the record, North By Northwest is way better. ;) ("Big face, small razor.")

Which teacher was your favorite?

[Kiwi Shelf]

My 5th grade one, Mr. Pitman. I would go on to have him again in grade 7
He was a great teacher, didn't talk down, and really helped me dream...

(What is North by Northwest...?)

Best school memory?

[imthefoolonthehill]

almost getting a snow day... because of me... :-D

worst trouble ever been in?

[Monica]

when my brother and I almost set our house in fire. accidentally of course

have you ever heard about Pete Sampras?

[papayahed]

I've heard of him - Tennis player right?

What's your favorite sport to play?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Baseball or badminton

What's your favourite sport to watch?

[emily655321]

(What is North by Northwest...?)

It's a movie with Cary Grant. Famous scene where he's being chased by a crop-duster plane.

Favorite sport to watch, eh? Hmm...is gymnastics a sport? Those people are impressive.

What's the greatest award/honor you've won in your life? (if any)

[papayahed]

It's a toss up between a jump rope contest in grade school and a patent for an obscure chemical additive that nobody uses.


If you could be famous/well known/respected for something what would it be?

[Kiwi Shelf]

I would have to say for my photography... Or just for being a great person :)

Who do you wish you were more like?

[Isagel]

My cat Lenore. She can fall down from a chair and still keep her dignity, even if she lands on her back, obviously not very comfortably over a stack of books. She is clumsy with style and grace.

I wish I was. I always manage to hurt myself in the strangest ways. Yesterday I laughed so hard I fell when walking down the citystreet, badly hurting my foot. Two young men thought I was drunk and offered to take me home. My friend, who made me laugh and of course is entirely to blame, thought that was a lot of fun. It´s strange - the more you try to explain that you´re not drunk, the worse it sounds.

Me- "No, no, I feel fine, I´m really not drunk, I only had coffee, I was just laughing"
My friend- " I only had a glass of wine"
Young men looking at each other thinking- yeah right, pathetic old people.
Darn.

Oh- sorry about all that. So the answer is- I would like to be more like my cat.

If you could choose to be really good at one thing, what would it be?

[atiguhya padma]

Making people happy

If you were to go to University tomorrow, what would you study?

[Isagel]

Literature, or perhaps art history. That would be wonderful.

Do you believe in blue horses?

“Lord, I specially care for those who are very logical, pragmatic and realistic; the ones who get impatient of those who believe in the little blue horse.”
Don Helder Camara

[atiguhya padma]

Ha ha. Of course I do. I've seen some on merry-go rounds, some in pottery centres and some in art galleries. They only ever appear in areas of cultural pretension, and are often immobile.

Is it better to give money to a registered charity, or to a beggar on the street, or not to give at all?

[emily655321]

Oh, great, I get the toughy. :p Depends on what charity, and whether the beggar is standing outside a liquor store. I think it's best to give blankets or food -- something real. But if it has to be money, I'd afford any charity some heavy research. My grandma has a big book that gives letter grades to all the different charities, based on how much of the money actually gets to the poor people. But in both cases, there's this: a lot of people benefitted by charities aren't in the position to go out and beg for themselves, while a lot of homeless people are too suspicious of organizations, or feel too embarrassed, to seek help from charities. *shrug* In the best case scenario I'd say give to both, but then again, in the best case scenario they wouldn't need it.

How much time on average do you spend outside? (enjoying the outdoors, not walking down the street to somewhere)

[Kiwi Shelf]

Well, there are lots of variables to consider for that answer... It depends on the weather or if I have to work, stuff like that... Yesterday I spent the whole afternoon lying on my patio swing reading "Mercy Among the Children" by David Adams Richards. (Great book, btw) So, if I get the chance, several hours, but today it was rainy so I only went outside to go to work. And, boy, am I ever rambling... lol

What's your favourite thing to do while outside?

[Libra Swords]

Watching the Sunset.

If you were to go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

[Kiwi Shelf]

I would settle for just getting out of my province, I haven't got the chance to do that in a while!

What other forums do you post on?

[Libra Swords]

I post in the Personal Poetry and just made up some new
poems off the top of my head.

Where do you post?

[emily655321]

I used to have lovely deep conversations as one of the only posting members of a Clockwork Orange board, but by all appearances the group-creator/admin-guy got banned from Yahoo. Or he decided to leave his poor Em out in the cold and delete his account and the group along with it. :( So now, I just post here.

Do you follow along with threads that you never post on?

[amuse]

yes.

do you know, i misread the last post, and saw your join date (2004) as your post count and got very excited? silly moi!

[emily655321]

Hehehe. Aw, soon my pet. ;) And then they will come to take me away.

Are they coming for you, too?

[Isagel]

They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa
from: Dr. Demento's Delights
Warner Bros. 1975

Remember when you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to
leave because I'd go berserk?? Well...
You left me anyhow and then the days got worse and worse and now you see
I've gone completely out of my mind.. And..
They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa
To the funny farm. Where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be
happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and they're
coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!!!!

You thought it was a joke and so you laughed, you laughed when I had said
that loosing you would make me flip my lid.. RIGHT???
I know you laughed, I heard you laugh, you laughed you laughed and
laughed and then you left, but now you know I'm utterly mad... And..


They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa,
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa.
To the happy home. With trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket
weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes and they're
coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!!

I cooked your food, I cleaned your house, and this is how you pay me back
for all my kind unselfish loving deeds.. Huh??
Well you just wait, they'll find you yet and when they do they'll put you
in the ASPCA, you mangy mutt!!! And...

They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa.
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa.
To the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be happy
to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and they're coming
to take me away, ha-haaa!!!
To the happy home, with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket
weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes and they're
coming to take me away, ha-haa!!!
To the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time... (fade out)

Hey, buddy!
Yes officer..
You a head?
No, but I'm catching up, ha ha ha....

original recording by Napoleon XIV


Have you heard this song?

[emily655321]

Yes, yes, a thousand times gloriously yes! :D :D :D I had a tape with that one, and a bunch of other Demento stuff, when I was little. Actually, that song was running through my head when I wrote my last post. :D (As it does periodically, for some strange reason. ;))

[edit]: oh, question... Have you heard the one that goes "beep beep, beep beep, the car went beep beep beep" and it ends "hey buddy how do I get this car out of second gear?"?

[verybaddmom]

no i havent, but i would like to....

did you ever see the Quizno's commercial with the nasty singing rats on it?

[emily655321]

Yes. They're called the Spongemonkeys. :D

Have you ever seen the original? http://www.rathergood.com/moon_song/
Have you seen the marching Laibach kittens? http://www.rathergood.com/laibach/

[verybaddmom]

omg i cannot believe you did that to me!!
i have never despised anything so much as them in my life. in fact, i wrote a scathing letter to quizno's about their use of the rats in their marketing campaign. ARGHHH.....ewwww...they are just so disturbing!
*feels need to rinse with listerene after viewing such a thing*

[emily655321]

LMAO! :lol:

You gonna ask a question? ;)

[verybaddmom]

no way man. not after that. im in no shape to ask a question. im still trying to cope with dry heaves!

all right fine.....
um....have you ever had to tranquilize your pet?

[emily655321]

tranquilize or euthanize?
We had to have one of our guinea pigs euthanized, because he had a huge tumor in his throat that they couldn't remove. The cats, on the other hand, always have to go under general anesthesia when they get their teeth cleaned. And when my old white kitty got hit by a car, he had to have jaw surgery.

What's the longest one of your pets has lived?

[papayahed]

The dog I have now is going to be 16 in August. I'm soooo worried that one morning I'm gonna wake up and Inky isn't.

If you have a pet, do you spoil your pet and what have you done to spoil your pet?

[emily655321]

Oh, everything under the sun. Not with food, because I've seen so many overweight cats at the shelter and they're just so sad and sick. But our cats are our familial gods. :D They get more love and attention than anyone else. Arlo walks on a little leash outside, till he's older and less mischievous, but it's more like he walks us around the yard -- through bushes and mosquito-filled hemlocks and leaves -- and we just endure it, cause he's soo cute. :blush: My old cat, Niles, used to whine until you petted him while he ate, and if you stopped before he was done he'd come get you again.

Do you adopt or go to a breeder or (god forbid) petshop?

[Kiwi Shelf]

My cats are all adopted, but my dogs came from breeders... I have 4 cats, three from the SPCA and one from a friend who had kittens. Then, I have had two golden retrivers, and believe me they are pure.... Recently me and my friend saved two kittens from off the street and one ended up in boyfriends house and the other in a friends. So, yeah...

Do you have any animals? If so, what ones?
(I have the list above, plus fish, gerbils, and a budgie)

[Libra Swords]

No I don't have any pets.

I will get one when I move into an apt that allows pets.
I want an American Eskimo Pup!




If you were to have a wild animal, which would you choose??

[amuse]

none, god love 'em in their natural habitat.

what is your favorite wild animal? (mine are wild cats.)

[emily655321]

Penguins.

What animal gives you the creeps?

[Kiwi Shelf]

The creeps? Nothing coming to mind presently. It may come to me when I see an animal...

Do you believe that zoos are a good or bad thing?

[Sancho]

gosh, I love to go to the zoo. But I've gotta agree with Amuze here, "None, god love 'em in their natural habitat."

Suppose there was a fortune teller in your neighborhood that was always right. This person tells you one day that she can predict the day on which you will die. Would you want to know?

[Newman]

Nope. First of all, I would be anticipating the day and that's not something I want to wait for. If I die early, I don't want to know about it. Second of all (and most importantly), I won't die (seriously ( ;) )).


Do you plan on seeing Ferenheit 911 (either in the theaters or when it comes out on DVD)?

[Libra Swords]

I am not sure! Maybe.




Can't wait for SpiderMan 2 though!!

Are you going to see it??

[Kiwi Shelf]

My boyfriend wants me to go, but I still haven't sat down and watched the first one straight through... :lol:

What about the movie King Arthur, anyone want to see that one? I know I do

[ravana]

I've seen it 5 times.

"Sabrina" isn't an English name is it?

[emily655321]

I think it's originally French, but it's common in English too.

Do you think your life would be very different if you had been born the opposite gender?

[ravana]

As I belong to traditions of old East my life would be certainly more different and much easy.

have you a bit strange habit?

[imthefoolonthehill]

because... its the food that keeps on tasting.

why do you like rotten fish so much?

[subterranean]

because it doesnt taste like chicken,,

have u brush ur teeth lately?


something smelly when u talk ;)

[emily655321]

uhm...exactly 3 hours ago.

What is the answer to the unknown question?

[elibennet]

One thing to say to the world: there are people starving out there right now.
One day to live: I'd eat an asado with my family, chocolate icecream with nuts for desert, I would see the film "Chocolat" and "Cinema Paradiso " for the last time and last but not least, I would make love with my husband.

[subterranean]

ehm excuse me, you havent throw any question..it is important to continue this game..

what do u hate most..

[Kiwi Shelf]

Failure :blush: And certain kinds of people, but that's mean. lol

What do you like the most?

[Libra Swords]

I like/love to go to the movies!!





What do you love to do in your spare time??

[evulik]

read books, be online, watch TV and nothing ;)




why did you register here?

[Isagel]

I wanted to discuss poetry.

What´s your favorite icecream flavour?

[papayahed]

mint chocolate chip.

what's your favorite time of day?

[subterranean]

5 pm...office ends..!

who's ur role model?

[imthefoolonthehill]

Napolean.... .... .... ... or not... maybe it just so happens i can't find an intelligent way to answer your question.

do you prefer a certain type of lemon-lime soda, or are they all the same?

[Kiwi Shelf]

I like Sprite better than 7UP

Coke or Pepsi?

[verybaddmom]

coke, although i have no logical reason for the preference; i am certain that i would not be able to tell the difference in a blindfolded taste test. i think maybe the coke commercials irritate me slightly less.

what is the most annoying commercial you have ever seen?

[papayahed]

The damn Quiznos commercial with those stupid singing things.

Have you ever cried at a commercial? (Like the phone company one with the kid and the grandfather )

[Koa]

I think I did... when there are things like loving couples and I'm feeling oversensitive (well I'm oversensitive about that at least 50% of the time). Or sometimes other sweet scenes...maybe even some things that feel poetic. Oh and I couldnt watch the one with the Cure song 'Pictures of you' cos it's one of the songs that makes me cry most ever...iiih ok I can cry really to anything :D

What should you be doing now instead of being here? :D

[amuse]

teehee!
buying a new iron/going to the bank

how long have you known your best friend?

[verybaddmom]

almost eighteen years.

how many good friends do you think most people have?

[Kiwi Shelf]

I think after like 5 you run into acquaintances, not true friends. You can have lots of friends, but generally only some that you really connect with and share your thoughts.

Have you ever lost a friend for a really stupid reason and regret it now?

[Ender]

Yup, but only she knows the stupid reason. I have no idea.

If you could spend your day doing anything in the world, what would it be?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Reading! Without feeling guilty for all the things I should be doing. Like today, I had to put a book down because my dog was in dire needs of a bath, seeing as I have been putting it off for like a week...

What's the creepiest thing you ever saw?

[subterranean]

Napolean.... .... .... ... or not... maybe it just so happens i can't find an intelligent way to answer your question.

do you prefer a certain type of lemon-lime soda, or are they all the same?

or pehaps u're just being ironic there... :brow:


the crepiest thing...?! must be big rats...

u consider urself intellegent?

[evulik]

I did, but today I feel soooooooooo dumb :rage:

could be worse day than today?

[subterranean]

ofcourse..anything is possible...

what's the best death penalty instrument?

[emily655321]

None at all.

Why can't I fall asleep until after the sun rises?

[edit] Ooh! This was my 2,001 post. I missed it. :( I'll just have to wait for 3,000 ;)

[Kiwi Shelf]

I don't know, but if should you figure it out let me know.

What are you most looking forward to today?

[ajoe]

Staying home and be online all day long. :p

How do I stop my highly forgetful grandmother from feeding the cats 428768 times a day?

[Koa]

None at all.

Why can't I fall asleep until after the sun rises?

[edit] Ooh! This was my 2,001 post. I missed it. :( I'll just have to wait for 3,000 ;)
Yeah, but 3000 is no space odissey :D

as for the game, answer is: Kill the cat! :D

What's your favourite emoticon?

[Kiwi Shelf]

On here: :banana:

What do you wish there was an emoticon for?

[verybaddmom]

pouting

what is your favorite thing about the place where you live?

[story645]

I can say I live in NYC. The museums and that I don't need a car to get around.

What's your favorite word?

[Libra Swords]

Sword, duh!


Okay......what is your fav color??

[Ender]

Chartreuse

Is my favorite color actually chartreuse?

[papayahed]

I have no reason not to believe you so yes your favorite color is chartreuse.

What is you favorite song (right now)?

[emily655321]

Oh, as if I could name *one* :p
Just this month -- Magnetic Fields, "I Wish I Had an Evil Twin" and Lola Ray, "Automatic Girl"
For the past few months -- Takako Minekawa, "Fantastic Cat" and Imaginary Johnny, "Soupy Sidewalk"

What CD is at the top of your "to buy" list?

[Koa]

I might even BUY the Cure's new one.

What's the cd you own that you are most ashamed of owning? :D

[emily655321]

Alien Ant Farm. I got it back in high school, listened to it once, hated it, gave it a second try, hated it more, and it hasn't been out of its case since. :p

How many CD's do you own?

[subterranean]

Oh i can't count them

they're keep competing with my books...and i got like around 400 books or so...

what's your fav day

[Sancho]

Good question.

Every new day that I wake up is my new favorite day. (I’m trying out existentialism, see)

Here’s the only lousy question that I can think of right now:

Do you ever feel sort of gypped or cheated when you’re watching a movie that’s supposed to be set in Texas but quite obviously has been filmed in the high desert of California (the Mojave)?

[amuse]

teehee. no, because i'm from california and sometimes i try to figure out where it's from, lol! :rolleyes: otherwise, i would hope to answer yes.

how deep is your belly button?

[emily655321]

LMAO! :lol: How do you measure that?

No, that's not my question. Um...
Do you carry a bag or just stuff things in your pockets?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Depends on where I am going

Do you think wallets have enought slots for cards in them?

[ajoe]

Well, I have only 2 cards, so yea.

What will happen if you listen to Will Hung's CD over and over?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Who's Will Hung? (That's not my question)

We just had an election, so, do you vote in your elections? (If you are of age, if not would you?)

[amuse]

yeah i vote. i am no longer too female or too brown to vote, as i would have been 50 some-odd years ago, so i make a point of it. yay!!!!!!!

do you bring your own cup with you when you go out for coffee, 'specially when you know you get a discount for helping save mama earth?

[Kiwi Shelf]

I only go out for coffee once a week, and never think to bring my own cup...

Do you like cappaccino? Personally I think it better than coffee, specifically French Vanilla

[Monica]

actually i don't really like coffee, but cappaccino is ok, especially when drunk in italy.

do you think life has any sense?

[verybaddmom]

i think there is only sense where one makes an effort to see it. i dont know if that means that there IS sense, or that we construct our own sense....im not even sure that im sure what you mean by sense....

what is your favorite ice cream flavor?

[emily655321]

mint chocolate chip....but frozen yoghurt's better.

What's your favorite thing to put on a sundae?

[Ender]

A spoon

Coke or Pepsi?

[Koa]

None of them... don't like them much. (is there any difference btw, or only the label so the choice is an ideologic one? ;) this not my question but i wish it was ;))

Uh this stupid... who's your favourite scientist?

[verybaddmom]

David suzuki; when i was little i wanted to be just like him, but with more girly hair....

have you heard of David suzuki?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Yes, we use to watch movies by him in science class way back when. No offense, but *yawn*. That man needs more of a personality (and a shave lol)

Worst video you ever had to watch?

[Isagel]

it´s a tie between a video that I had to see when I studied, showing closeups of an disection of a brain - or Battlefield earth. I think that if I had to see any one of them again I would choose the disection.


What´s your favorite David Bowie song?

[emily655321]

"I'm Afraid of Americans"
(It has Trent in the video :D)

What's your favorite music video?

[Kiwi Shelf]

I couldn't tell you, I never get the chance to watch them...

Where do you wish you worked?

[emily655321]

dirt farm

Would you rather be the boss of many or work for yourself?

[verybaddmom]

boss of many...i love to delegate!

have you ever had an experience that could not be explained?

[emily655321]

You mean, that none of the people present could explain? ;) Sure, everything confuses me.

Are you scared of big clouds? (I mean the big, big ones that come up from the horizon.)

[Kiwi Shelf]

Nope, think they are cool

Do you ever walk down the street and all of a sudden see something and wish for a camera?

[Ender]

Yup. I saw a tumbleweed blow across the street in the middle of a blizzard one day. It was great.

Do you ever wish you could have stuff downloaded into your brain like Johhny Mnemonic?

[verybaddmom]

sometimes, provided i would have absolute control over the type and amount of information downloaded...sure would make studying easier anyway....

do you think you watch too much tv?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Nope, I watch an hour of it a week, if that

Do you think you spend too much time on the computer?

[emily655321]

Well, duh. :p

Have you ever meant to take a picture of one thing, and when it was developed found that there was something else more interesting in the photo?


***sort of happened to me a couple weeks ago, just thought it was neat (and just so no one thinks they've seen a miracle, ;) a pic of what's at the top of the stairs):

[verybaddmom]

i dont know if its happened to me like that before, but i know sometimes i am surprised at how good some of my pictures turn out....

what has been your most embarassing injury to date?

[Ender]

I bruised a couple of ribs playing 500-Up.

What's the most random thing you've ever done at work?

[verybaddmom]

working in a bar, most things are randomly done...like i never plan to have any shooters when i go into work, but sometimes some random person buys me one...
though, i guess when my girlfriend and i kissed sort of across the bar on a bet once...but didnt (at that time) know there was a camera above the till. while my job was never glamorous, it was also rarely boring.
(is that sort of what you meant, ender? i didnt totally understand the question.)


what song are you embarassed to know all the words to?

[papayahed]

I'm not really embarrassed to know any songs really. I like a wide variety of music but if I have to pick the first thing that comes to mind is Rum and Coca cola by the Andrew sisters only because its so old.

What CD or Song do you never get tired of and could listen to all the time?

[Edzabeen]

Queen, especially their "Bohemian rhapsody". :nod:
Do you think that keeping animals at zoo makes them suffer?

[Kiwi Shelf]

I think it depends on the zoo, but for the most part yes.

In some countries animals are used to run across mine fields to make it safe for humans to walk across, is this fair?

[Ender]

Nope.

Does Baked Alaska amaze and confound you?

[Koa]

I wonder how can Alaska be baked, yeah... it might need a big oven...and it might melt...(I assume it is some kind of product?)

what's the thing you'd eat every day, breakfast lunch and dinner, without getting tired of it? (does it look like i'm hungry? i am :D)

[emily655321]

Baked Alaska -- believe it or not, there's ice cream in there (http://www.td-mat.co.jp/bridal/menu/baked_alaska.jpg)
(It usually looks like this (http://www.newyorkmetro.com/images/urban/02/holidayguide/holidayrecipes/cake_200.jpg), but I couldn't find a pic with that on fire.)

As to the question: Cereal. Whatever kind my current cereal-obsession might be. The processed flour is very bad for you, but at least I'm getting milk, right?

What's the first music album you ever owned? (Not your parents' that you listened to, but when you first started listening to your own music.)

[verybaddmom]

motley crue's smoking in the boy's room...on cassette

tell me about a time when gas escaped you in public....

[emily655321]

:lol: If it's happened, I've blocked it out. I'm sorry, but seriously.

What's your favorite type of candy? (Seems like a basic ques., but I've never asked it before.)

[papayahed]

Right now it's Mike and Ike's. If I could live on those I would, those and Cherry Coke.

VBM - Motley Crue was my first real concert. Whoo Hoo!!!!

what's your favorite beverage?

[Koa]

just plain water or ice tea...

are you scared of heigth?

[Ender]

Nope. Used to be, until I started rcok climbing and cliff jumping. That got rid of that in a hurry.

What do you think of the state of the world?

[emily655321]

"The world is not growing worse and it is not growing better -- it is just turning around as usual."
--Finley Peter Dunne

That said, "as usual" still means we're ****ed.

After humans become extinct, and providing nature is able to reclaim the planet, what do you think will be the next type of species to take over? (i.e. single-celled organisms--> dinosaurs--> great mammels--> humans--> ???)

[Ender]

Penguins.

Have you heard about the Monty Python Musical version of Holy Grail, and do you plan on finding a way to get to Broadway to see it?

[Kiwi Shelf]

haha, I wish I could go to broadway, but I will have to graduate and get a profession before I can splurge like that. I mean, just taking a week off next week is hurting my conscience.

Do you think university is way overpriced? (I do)

[emily655321]

Horrifically, criminally so.

If money was not a problem, how many years would you like to go to college?

[verybaddmom]

forever..career student
i could learn in a structured environment every day for the rest of my life (minus, of course, holidays) and still not know about everything i find curious.

what course(s), totally unrelated to your program, would you love to take, just to take it?
(for me it would be classical mythology and latin, to start)

[emily655321]

Well, I don't know specifically what my program is yet, because I get to build my own. I'm fairly certain I won't be pursuing a career in performing arts, though, like drama and music, and I wish I could study them more than I'll get to. Luckily for me, studying abroad is important for an art student, so I have a ready-made excuse for studying any language I want to. :D

What subject do you have no talent for, but wish you did so you could study it? (For me, it's theoretical physics. I find it fascinating, but *sigh* I'm impossible at facts-and-figures stuff.)

[Kiwi Shelf]

Hmm... I just wish I was better at mathematical stuff, then a lot of new doors would open for me...

Do you consider web comics respectable reading? (an example: www.tdotcomics.com)

[Ender]

I draw one, so yes.

If you could have either a pet monkey, or a pet penguin, which would you choose?

[verybaddmom]

well it definitely would NOT be the monkey, as i have this irrational and deep seated fear of the little buggers. but then i dont think a penguin would be a good pet, as i think there is the whole habitat thing to think about. i dont think it would do well in the environment i do well in. so....i would take the penguin and then send it off to a place better suited.

what is your biggest pet peeve that gets tripped the most often?

EDIT: i have had to resort to snitching questions from another board, as i seem to have...um... run out of my own. just in case anyone else recognizes them...em

[sycho_warrior]

ignore this plz

[emily655321]

No prob sycho.

VB -- hehehe I've already done that a couple times, so no shame in that. :D I hope.
In answer to the question: probably grammatical and spelling errors. And my mother dumping bags of litter-box-refuse in the kitchen trash instead of taking 50 more seconds to go into the basement, the minor inconvenience of which is vastly eclipsed by the more preferable lack-of-stench in the upstairs living area. :rage:

Uh....mm...same question. :p

[papayahed]

When my boss come up and kicks the back of my chair (yes he is a grown man).

Whats the most inappropriate crush you've ever had on anybody? (I used to think our parish priest was a hottie)

[amuse]

really, papayahed? wow...must have made praying difficult. or given you reason to do so, on second thought.
oh god, my doctor. a "female" specialist at that. what a sweetheart and what a hottie. :blush:

do you infer what strange words mean as you read, or do you keep a dictionary handy?

*example: supererogatory at http://www.online-literature.com/dumas/black_tulip/1/ - i'd like to hear that word in casual conversation! :D

[Sancho]

Heh heh, I usually infer, and wrongly much of the time I might add. That would be an interesting conversational word.

Ha, I missed a bunch of good questions, so I’m going to answer them anyway. Here goes.

Papaya’s crush question:
Always had a thing for my high school English teacher. You know, of course, what a raging hormone a high school kid is. Absolutely no control. Anyhow, I’d sit there in her class most of the time unable to stand up without embarrassment.

But here’s the kicker: last year I met a guy who’d just graduated from my high school. So we’re standing around comparing notes and I ask him if Miss Anna Standish was still teaching English there. He says, “Oh my god, Old lady Standish! She’s the Principal now; we hated her.”

VB’s gas question.
Just the other day I’m in an elevator thinking I’m going to ride it all the way to the top alone. So I float this air biscuit. ‘bout that time the doors open and about five people climb on board. The doors close preventing their escape before they realize what they’ve gotten themselves into. Needless to say, I was not the most popular vertical traveler that day.

Em’s human extinction question:
I’m not sure who said it, but it was an argument against the survival of the fittest theory of evolution: “The end state of life on the planet earth will probably be the ****roach and the syphilis bacillus battling it out with each other for world domination.”

VB’s pet peeve question:
It really ticks me off when some people ignore the rules of the thread and just do what ever the heck they want to.

OK, I’m done.

Chicago or Memphis for the Blues?

[Sancho]

hahaha. guess I should've written "rooster-roach"

[emily655321]

LOL :D You should've seen my "Molly Malone" post before I fixed the erroneous filter.

[imthefoolonthehill]

Chicago.... not because it has better blues... because i couldnt care less... its just ive always wanted to go to chicago.

if you could own an acre of gooey mud or muddy slush, which would you choose?

[verybaddmom]

gooey mud, because muddy slush indicates freezing temperatures and i am so not into that at all...

do you think that we should be allowed to talk about politics on here?

[emily655321]

No. If you want to know why, go read the Current Events/Politics section on the WOXY.com forum. It can get pretty hostile, and don't think it doesn't carry over into other threads. Coming back here I always breathe a sigh of relief.

BTW, WOXY (a.k.a. 97X) is back on the air...uh...net...whatever. Everybody go listen! :D

What's your favorite radio station?

[hye young]

um... i was waiting for the right question for me because i'm one of few foreigners here. but i guess it will be fun to answer this question which can be too "Korean"... :D
107.7 power FM... guess not??
there's a chance i can listen in on the radio that the american forces network broadcasts in korea, only i can understand 50 percent.
and i visited the website emily's put on, it looks a lot like this site. so i like that too! thanks. you've given me some stuff i can do during my spare time. ;)

where would you go for your summer vacation?

[verybaddmom]

well, i am sort of on summer vacation right now, because i just moved to a new province and city. so, even though im doing some distance ed classes, i have had lots of time to explore the city and begin discovering all it has to offer. however, for holidays we are planning a trip to venice for sometime in May. as my boyfriend will be deployed to Afghanistan in Feb and during his two week leave in may, the canadian gov't will either fly him home, or fly me out. i think we have decided that im going there, and that we'll do a bit of travelling, mostly france and italy is what we are aiming for. although its all up in the air right now, that's the tentative plan.

what is the most recent random act of kindness you have performed?

[Ender]

I picked someone up and dropped them off at home because they were stupid enough to walk barefoot in 30 degree (C) weather on asphalt for 20min. That was today.

What is the most recent random act of meanness you have performed?

[verybaddmom]

i guess it would have to be (*makes shamed face*) dropping this kid (of teen years) at the stampede concert on Sunday. he was intolerably rude and had the foulest mouth on him i had ever heard. well, he and some buddies were trying to get body surfing in the crowd and when it came my turn to prop him up, i was um...distracted enough to neglect my duty. he sort of fell to the ground (feet first) and was pissy that he wasnt still airborne, but knew not who to blame.


have you ever been in a mosh pit?

[Ender]

yup

When was the last time you got to the beach?

[emily655321]

You mean one with sand? Um...summer 1999.

BTW, I broke the WOXY llink on purpose. I don't like it there as much as I did. Some people get vulgar and mean.

When was the last time you vacuumed?

[Koa]

2 days ago I think...

Where would you never go even if you were offered a free holiday there?

[papayahed]

Hell

If there was a colony on the moon would you want to live there?

[emily655321]

No. There are no puffins there.

If there was a colony under the ocean, would you want to live there? Assuming they fixed that whole "disappearing and drowning" problem they had last time.

[verybaddmom]

no i dont think so, there is that whole claustrophobia thing to deal with. i dont actually have a real problem with it on a daily basis, but the idea of being in a mine shaft or something like that makes me nervous; i think it would be the same thing under miles of water too.

would you have participated in the "biodome" experiment?
(is that the proper name for it?)

[Kiwi Shelf]

Depends on what I personally would have had to do

Do you believe in life on other planets? (Just in case already asked, too little time to backtrack)

[emily655321]

Yeah, I think the odds are for it. But I think any intelligent life is very far away and will never come in contact with Earth, or vice versa.

The thermodynamics of food...
Do you cook Pop Tarts or eat them cold?
Do you warm up leftover food or eat it cold?
Do you like pizza better fresh (hot) or leftover (cold)?

[Kiwi Shelf]

Don't eat pop tarts
Depends on what the food is
I generally like it both ways, but if it is leftover pizza I leave it cold.

What do you get on your pizza?

[papayahed]

Cheese Pepproni, and Green Peppers. If I'm adventurous I get onions.

Have you ever had one of thopse frozen pizza's from the supermarket?

[the mooring]

but i dont love it,

What is your favorite fruit?

[ravana]

Sour ones. But favorite vegetables are tomatoes.

Do you think your handwriting can tell about your character?

[Sancho]

Oh my gosh, I hope not. My handwriting really, really, really stinks. My character, on the other hand, uhhh, uh-oh...

In your community, are you a citizen or a resident?

[subterranean]

I have no idea..

pepsi or coca cola?

[verybaddmom]

coca cola, if i have to choose (vanilla coke, if im lucky!)

do you prefer brand names over the generic products? or does it depend on the product?

[Kiwi Shelf]

It depends on the product and how much money I am willing to spend... :)

Do you wear clothes that advertise where they came from?

[imthefoolonthehill]

no.

does it bother you when people are talking in front of you in a language you dont understand?
