Ask Bakiryu!

[Logos]

Baki, HALLP!

how do you make *everyone* happy/content?

regardless of their hair colour/opinion/religion/childhood upbringing/favourite type of ice cream/type of car they drive/if they're a cat/dog lover ??? :p

I really need to know, STAT :D

[Shalot]

What is the difference between a geek, a nerd and a dork, and which is worse. In the hierarchy of geeks nerds and dorks?* (in no particular order), where does geek fall?

[Niamh]

I would have put it in the order you have it. geeks being the ultimate, and dorks just being the lowest goofiest of them all.

Greetings Bakiryu!
This is a hot thread.Quite stimulating and noteworthy to have you whose knowledge is wide.My question is-If you get hell from someone,what would you do?

ignore them, they'll get bored. If that doesn't work retaliate secretly and evilly!

[Virgil]

Dear Baki. I'm going to a New Years party where I'll hate most of the other guests. Should I wear one of those pointing hats and blow one of those party blow toys and make believe I'm having fun or should I just sit in the corner ad watch the New Year ring in and mumble under my breath what jerks are around me? :D

If you try to have fun you'll actually have it V! I'm usually dragged of to parties where I hate most people and time does past slower when i sit in a corner and read, but if i try to have fun and cheer, everything goes by faster.

Also, it'll annoy those who don't want you to have a good time :D

[papayahed]

Should I use tofu and milk in my berry smoothies or just use soy milk?

[Bakiryu]

Should I use tofu and milk in my berry smoothies or just use soy milk?

well, i think it would depend on want kind of consistency you want. Milk would be more fluid and tofu sort of smoother. It also depends on taste, which do you like best? You could also make one with milk and one with milk and tofu and enjoy and share!

Dear wise and wonderful Baki... Some random number sent me a very obscene and offensive text messgage a week or so ago. I have no idea who it is, but when my dad rang the number, it sounded like a teenage male. We didn't find out who they are, and so my dad sent them a text telling them to not do it again etc. Many of my friends were convinced it was just a spam text, but then a few days ago whoever it is tried calling me (I missed the call.). Now, should I just try ignoring it still? They've really gotten to me and I was really scared for a while... So is there anything I should do apart from ignore them?

Be careful, whoever got your number probably knows who you are and even more info. Try being extra-careful at home (try not to ever be alone and lock everything carefully) and at school too. It's probably some idiot pranking you but you can't never be too safe. If they call you again try tracing them and if that doesn't work, change your number. Better safe than sorry!

Thank you. I have one friend who has like everyone's numbers so I'll ask her if she knows who it is, if not then I really have no idea who it might be. I was contemplating changing my number, and that was before they called! but I've grown so used to it over the years!...

Anywho, thank you for the advice :)

Lol Dear Bakiryu I'm already at a New Year's Party! Should I continue to stay online with Literature Network forum or lose myself in the debauchery and lewd remarks circulating around me?

Do you need to ask?....debauchery! woot!

Dear Baki, If I keep watching the Terminator, will it get interesting?

Dear Baki, If I keep watching the Terminator, will it get interesting?

Nope. It'll just come back and back again, it never dies!

[LostPrincess13]

Dear Baki,
I'm new, and I like to post threads too, but I can be extremely shy, and the people on here know each other and stuff, and it's kinda awkward jumping into their conversations. Is it rude if I just join in?

Not at all! Remember everyone here was once a noobie too, if they get mean just tell me and I'll beat up their sorry asses! :lol: Be yourself and be fun!


(also, i didn't welcome you to the forums so "Hi, I'm Sciezka, aka Jin or Bakiryu, nice to meet you I hope you enjoy the forum!)

I still feel like a noob sometimes and I've been here almost a year :p.



Well... I don't have many questions to ask, but I've just ordered some books yesterday, and then later realised that there was yet another book that I wanted, by the same author of the other books I ordered. Should I try and convince my dad to get that one too this afternoon, or wait a while like until after I recieve the other books?

I know you've done meditation, what do you know of mantras?

Also what are the similarities between Buddhism and Hindusim, besides the language and the art?

[Virgil]

Valentine's Day is my wife's mother's birthday. Should I give my mother-in-law a birthday card or a Valentine's Day card?

[Pensive]

Valentine's Day is my wife's mother's birthday. Should I give my mother-in-law a birthday card or a Valentine's Day card?

:lol:

I would suggest a mother-in-law birthday card!

*edit to add*

sorry, Bakiryu, I forgot the question was meant for you.

[crystalmoonshin]

what would you do if suddenly your friends are ignoring you?

[Bakiryu]

Valentine's Day is my wife's mother's birthday. Should I give my mother-in-law a birthday card or a Valentine's Day card?

why not a Valentine-Birthday card?

Nah, a present for her birthday and a card for Valentine's would be a good idea.


what would you do if suddenly your friends are ignoring you?

ignore them and get cooler friends :) if they don't like you, you don't need them.

[GX4146]

[crystalmoonshin]

LOL, I like that!!!!

[subterranean]

Dear, Bakiryu.
Would it be cool if a girl wink first?

[sprinks]

Dear Baki, yet another question to add to those being asked.

Should I be Media Captain or Drama Captain?

[Bakiryu]

what would you do if you start to ignore your friends?

Depends, if you do it for no reason then do the following.

Materials

mirror
face
hands
salt

Stand in front of mirror with salted hands and *****-slap yourself for being a bonehead.


Dear Baki, yet another question to add to those being asked.

Drama captain will always sound cooler. You can also get a cape and pretend to be a superhero. Can you do that as media captain? nooooooooo. :D


Dear, Bakiryu.

of course, as long as 'tis a SEXY WINK not a I HAVE SOMETHING-IN-MY-EYE-OH-GOD-IT-BURNS!-WINK.

[mono]

Bakiryu, shall I or shall I not start what could possibly turn into a very controversial thread amid our forum family? How could I try to maintain peace?

[Bakiryu]

Well, the forum needs some spice after all. The moderators will take care of it but try to encourage people to behave nicely :)

Would you consider this sexy? If yes, I'd start practicing my eye and mouth expression while winking.

If you got your head knocked in such a fashion that the eyeball popped out of the socket, but was still attached to the optical nerve, would you be able to see forward and down/sideways (or whatever way the ball was looking) at the same time? Or would your brain not be able to comprehend that and just shut down the visual section? How about if you closed the eye still in your head?

I think you still would be able to see (if ALL the nerves were attached) but you would most likely A) tear something and be unable to see B) pass out c)suffer incredible pain + eye dryness. Which would prevent you from seeing.

Well, not really. it looks a bit odd. I think wink-sexiness depends also on face shape (go practice in front of a mirror!).

[JuniperWoolf]

What is immitation leather made of?

[Bakiryu]

What is immitation leather made of?

Usually plastic, pleather, vinyl or pcv.

According to wiki: "Sometimes referred to as poromerics, poromeric imitation leathers are a group of synthetic 'breathable' leather substitutes made from a plastic coating (usually a polyurethane) on a fibrous base layer (typically a polyester)."

Don't count your chickens before they hatch V! Wait a bit and if you're really, really certain (as certain as you KNOW that the sky is blue) go ahead.

[Virgil]

You are absolutely psychic!!! I was counting my chickens before they hatched. The very next day I wrote that I got some bad news that made what I wanted to announce to be delayed for six months. So you are right! I will have to wait another six months for me to announce it. You are incredible!

Thou art omniscent Bakiryu, and I shall pen thee a question :p

Four adorable little black kittens are hiding out in my backyard with their mommy. I've been leaving a bowl of water out as well as bread crumbs. They seem so pitiful and helpless, but I can't take them under my wing because my step-mom is allergic. Should I take them to the humane society or continue with what I am doing?

I think you should try to find homes for the kitties, maybe your friends, teachers or asorbted relatives.

If you can't them try to help them outside before turning them into the humane society since it's very unlikely they'll find a home :(

Bump. . ..

What kinds of superpowers do litnet moderators have? :p

Bump. . ..

oh, it's you again :p

while I, Bakiryu, dare not venture into the magical world of litnet moderators I imagine they have all sorts of mysterious powers such as mind reading and pyrokinesis, with a dash of invisibility thrown in for effect. :nod:

Oh revered Bakiryu, can you tell me what is the point of sneezing?

[Bakiryu]

Oh revered Bakiryu, can you tell me what is the point of sneezing?

Oh Fith Element the purpose of sneezing is to dislodge objects and such-like that might be in your nose. For example, when you have a cold you sneeze to remove the nose-goo that is clogging your nose and impairing your breathing. :eek:

Bakiryu, I have seen this thread and have attempted to post many times, but changed my mind. Though now as a New Years Resolution, I am going to just take a plunge when I want to do something. I was wondering if you could help me, dear Bakiryu.

I have just completed a Children's novel this year and it is currently going through the family rounds of editing. It is a very personal novel and even though I have wanted so badly, to get it published, now that I am weeks away from sending it off to publishers I feel a little uneasy and don't really want it published... Sounds silly ha? But true. What should I do?

[Bakiryu]

Well, I am glad that you finally decided to ask me for advice, I'll try my utmost to do my best!

In my opinion you should look over your novel. Why are you dubious about it? Think of the time spent creating it, and the effort and feelings that went into it. How do you feel about it?

I understand that sometimes it's difficult to take the plunge and take action. The fear of rejection is there clouding our minds. But if you truly love your work and think others should have a chance to read it, jump in!

Sure, things may happen, your novel might not be published or do well in the market. But how do you know if you don't try? If you worked hard to create it and finnish it, then, why shouldn't someone else be able to enjoy it?

Shalom, Ryu.

Thanks for your reply Bakiryu. But I am sorry, I may not have explained myself well. But I am not afraid of rejection as it has happened so many times before with short novels. The problem I am having is my connection with the novel. It is actually based on actual events that have happened in my life, but names and certain events were changed and exageratted to sound a little more exciting. So it is now a fiction. The question I should have asked is how can I seperate the emotional side of myself from it? Let it go... So the speak.
