Would You??

Young boys being abducted by martians and thrust into monarchy is no basis for a system of government -

Well, it isn't.

No, magic can't be controlled unless it is our own, particular magic. Nor can it be created. There must be source, and the source is a demon living underground in Florida.

Would you say our world is mundane?

Yes and no, the world is by itself mundane, but some people succeed in making it interesting for themselves and others by turning the mundane into something interesting, and dare I say it... Magical. :)

Also, yeah, it's no basis for a system of government, it's mostly a ceremonial function really, and I was elected supreme commander of the Martian empire a few years back, re-election is every 4 years, but it's Mars years so they last almost twice as long as earth years.

Wouldn't it make more sense if each continent had its own source of magic?

Is magic supposed to make sense? If it doesn't make sense, why should the source of it make much sense either?

Would you say that you're up for re-election?

Yeah, Martians love me for some reason, and if I consider flurdup the Fraldol a real competitor, well, never rule him out, he is at least 10 times smarter than me, but he lacks the charisma... :)

Would sense not have any place in a magical world?

Sure. By the people that it touches. They should have plenty of sense, to know what to do with it when it's in their hands.

Would you giggle/chuckle at Flurdup behind his back for his unfortunate name?

What's so unfortunate about the name? He is from a long line of brilliant scientists from Mars. Maybe it doesn't translate well. Hadn't thought of that...Oh well, no wouldn't chuckly or giggle about his name, now his neurotic tendency to jump up and down every other second while in a speech, that's another matter altogether. :D

Would you say good night to me as I try to get some sleep now that it is way beyond late?

I would, if I must! Good night, Aims. Sweet dreams and sleeps.

Would you consider yourself to be the very model of a modern major general?

I'm not much of a modern General, I'm more the classical type, with a big beard and traditional dress uniform who has tea and reads a good book on the eve of a big battle rather than plan the tactics of the battle into infinite detail.

Would you think that I will enjoy dreamland tonight?

You sound like a most excellent general.

Well... I certainly hope you enjoy it. Just make sure your pillow's fluffed.

Would you go to bed now so I can read my book? xD (I'm kidding, I'm kidding.)

No...you can't read your book...

Would you put down your book so you could chat with me?

I have no book.

Would you read a Dostoevsky story if a friend recommended it?

yes if it was really really recommended, and only if the first couple of chapters catches my attention enough to finish reading it.

Would you go bungee jumping?

Definitely. The only reason why I have not done it yet, is that I am not sure whether I want to spend that amount of money on it :lol:

Would you go to a party on a national day of mourning?

Hmmmm.... depends on the sort of party. If it was a birthday party why not. If it was a drunken revelry. no way.

Would you swim with sharks?

I feel like often do!

Would you neglect your regular health checks because you cannot be bothered to make an appointment?

No, I retain a very flexible schedule for the most part...

Would you eat nothing but tree bark for a whole day if you were lost in the woods?

For day one...no...day three...maybe...day five...YES

Would you walk into a hotel hallway in your underwear to reach the free newspaper?

Why not? Might make somebody's day.

Would you ever weed whack your yard in your unders?

No...too many potential flying objects...PFOs

Would you skinny dip in your own pool?

Hell yeah! I'll skinny dip anywhere I please.

Would you skinny dip in a horse trough? The really rough, splintery kind nobody uses anymore?

Not without some logical purpose.

Would you get into a horse turd fight?

Yes. Story, about that, actually.

Would you climb a mountain during a lightning storm?

Sure...

Would you carry s backpack of horse turds with you for a horse turd fight?

Gross! No, for what purpose?

Would you go with a friend to another state to see a sight?

Absolutely!!!

Would you go to bed if it were 4:00 am?

Depends on who I was with

Would you stay up if you thought a certain someone would possible come on-line?

uhhh doesnt everyone? Make that a resounding yes!

Would you still do something that you were 'volunteered' for if the person never confirmed with you that it was dstill going tgo happen and when you call less than 20 hours before suddleny assumes you know?

um, if I understand the question correctly, sure.

Would you ever take part in a violent uprising to rebel against the government?

Oh yes... yes indeed.

Would you kiss a pig in light of recent events?

No I would never kiss a pig really, recent events didn't influence it nor do I see how it would.

Would you kill a pig?

No, I couldn't. I simply couldn't.

Would you ever skip Christmas with your family?

Depends who you are calling family...who I grew up with..or who I created...:)

Would you ride on the back of a motorcycle without a helmet?

yeah. pretty common in my country.
actually i havent wear a helmet all the times i had been on a motorcycle.

would you lie to keep a good appearance?

Who wouldn't?

Would you stop being customer of a chain store because you are against their political commitments?

I hate to say it but it depends on how inconvenient it is for me to avoid the store. For example I don't like walmart but every year I get a gift certificate so I have to go in..

Good one, Same question:
Would you stop being customer of a chain store because you are against their political commitments?

I took part in a campaign against 'Tesco' supermarkets many years back as part of the local Greenpeace group. It was trying to get them to stop importing Icelandic fish because Iceland was involved in whaling. If that counts, then YES.

Would I have bothered if I wasn’t head-over-heels in love with one of the girls in the group?…hmmm :D




Would you ‘accidentally’ let go of the rope on a climbing expedition if the person on the other end were sleeping with your partner?

Well, ropes can slippery at times! ;)

Seriously, no. I wouldn't go to the expedition in the first place (I would have left my partner long before that).

Would you cheat on your partner if you knew you would never ever be found out?

No way. It's not just about if someone finds out or not..its just plain WRONG and it taints the connection between you two. Have the decency to break up with your partner first if you're so unhappy that you go and cheat.

Would you ever work for a family owned business whose religious/political affiliation strongly contridicted your own?

Yes, but it would depend on the nature of the business. [good thing I don't have to worry about that - we're all academics! A bit boring, actually]


Would you anonymously give charity, or would you make it known?

I have given it anonymously before and with a lot of self-rewarding feelings afterwards; I leave the pompous donations for advertisers and corporations.

Would you ever camp outside a concert venue to see a music band for days? If you have, for whom?
