Ever loved someone so much that you cannot let them go, even when they leave?

[MarkBastable]

Well, kinda - but I'd say that that was, by definition, not love but something masquerading as love, so, No.


What's it all about then, eh?

[Maryd.]

??? Sorry a little confused by your last question?:goof:

[Satan]

You touched a nerve. I did ...once. No, I still love her and she has stayed with me, if not in person.

Yes, but complicated. Could never explain. No one would understand.

When is enough enough?

[Satan]

Before it's not.

Why does god create and create and create?

[BienvenuJDC]

Who said that He does? He did and He's done...

Why do some hate God?

[Satan]

'Cause some will never serve passively.

Why do you hate freedom? :lol:

Black humor intrigues me.

How did Russians manage to write such long novels?

Sometimes, happens regardless

Do you drive recklessly?

[Maryd.]

No, no, have a young family, need to be sensible.

Would you speed in an unpopulated zone?

[MarkBastable]

In the UK, we don't have unpopulated zones. It's rarely more than a hundred yards between suicidal pedestrians. But given that - yes.


Is riding in taxi cabs

a) an unwarranted extravagance
b) pretty much the whole point of being a grown-up
c) the only way to travel if you've lost your licence for speeding in an unpopulated zone?


No, no, have a young family, need to be sensible.

Would you speed in an unpopulated zone?

[Heathcliff]

a) an unwarranted extravagance
I'd rather take a bus though. It is weird telling a stranger where you want to go, usually your own address.

Would you ever consider becoming a taxi driver?

[MarkBastable]

No - I find driving quite dull.

Which is why, incidentally, the correct answer to the previous question was b).


Can you name three personal friends or relatives who are better drivers than you?

[Heathcliff]

Mum, Dad, my brother, if he could drive.

I would never become a taxi driver, too dangerous.

What happened at your last car accident?

[MarkBastable]

I'm afraid I can't tell you that because The Beloved might read this post and I told her that I had no idea how that wing mirror got smashed and it must have happened during the night these people racing down the road in the small hours it's a menace honestly no point reporting it to the police it's simply one of those things but no you're right I'm just as livid as you....


What's the last slightly cloaked untruth you told your partner?

[Heathcliff]

Erm. Wouldn't have any.

Same question.

[Maryd.]

No, I'm not on litnet... I'm cleaning house... Ooops!

Are you listening to music right now?

[Satan]

You are good at reading minds, eh? 80s it is at the moment.

Ever slapped anyone?

[Maryd.]

You are good at reading minds, eh? 80s it is at the moment.

Ever slapped anyone?

Wow, I am listening to eighties music right now as well... Eerie.

No, punched a doctor when I was around 6'ish... But remember it vividly.

Same question?

[Satan]

Many. Slapped, punched and kicked. But that was years ago.

Your favorite rock band?

[Maryd.]

Do you like sweet red wine?

[Satan]

Yessss!

Who's your favorite actor?

[Maryd.]

Oh, any comedian... Um, Robin Williams, Jim Carey, I even like the late great Benny Hill and not ashamed to admit it. He was so clever... Naughty but clever. I think they are the intelligent actors.

Same question?

[Satan]

Laurence Olivier, Richard Burton, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Michael Caine, Peter O'Toole, Ben Kingsley, Gary Oldman and Daniel Day Lewis among others. Williams was good in Good Will Hunting and What Dreams May Come. Carrey is funny and sometimes annoying, but he did well in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, one fine movie if you ask me.

Why is the world so colorful?

[Maryd.]

Now, is that another trick question... It is a gift... The world that is... It is a gift to us.

Sometimes I do.

Yeah, I freak out when people start using "u" for "you" and so on.

[Haunted]

You're an optimist. You were rooting for goodness in me, or did I disappoint you?

Not optimistism, it's hunches.

Like you I have stopped paying attention... Not before I went mad though.:lol:

Do you hide your feelings?

[Satan]

Why, yes.

Do you feel vulnerable sometimes?

[Maryd.]

Yes sir.

Do you think that vulnerability is a state of mind?

[Satan]

It is, and a crucial one at that. You either break out of your comfort zone, or let others break into yours. I would cite Foucault here, but then you'd accuse me of being trite. :P

What do you do when your mind goes blank?

I'm a quick learner.

Should I tell my kid that there is no Santa, that Care Bears don't really live in the clouds, that there's no such thing as faeries, and that there is no such thing as a real magic wand?

Absolutely not. The truth about Care Bears and fairies will be easily found out, and Santa is easily explained. You're his helper :P I don't know, it's just me, but I think children of all ages should believe in the possibility of magic.

Am I too much of an optimist?

[Satan]

No, you're a good mother in the making. ;)

Are you going to annihilate me now?

[TinCan]

haha, no, I'll just take the compliment.

How skilled are you at being a stalker? :P

[Satan]

That's my job. Really! :P

Do you mind being stalked by a gentlemanly devil? ;)

[TinCan]

Perhaps less by a fiendish gentleman. lol

Why would a gentlemanly devil stalk me?

[BienvenuJDC]

Because of your beauty...remember, 'it was beauty that killed the beast'...

From where did THAT quote come from?

[Satan]

King Kong. But I ain't that hairy primate, mind you. :P

What is your opinion on Jodorowsky's films - full of symbolism and dream sequences?

[MarkBastable]

Sure. Regularly have nasturtiums in a summer salad.

Never. I don't like being laughed at.

Do you poke fun at yourself?

[Satan]

At times.

Do you?

[Satan]

It's possible.
