i suppose if he wants to, although glamour would say its a DONT
personally i am of the opinion that whatever a person wants to do to make themselves feel better is up to them. i am all about personal choice.
have you ever had a perm? or colored your hair?
No! Natural is best. But maybe I am just the wrong sex to be asked that kind of question.
Now, if you could time-travel to a alternative universe (nothing changes back home because of what you do there) about to the year 1985 and could take six things with you, what would these be? Let it be so that you have got a place to live and an income.
What do you think would yield most money to you? (if you didn't have any morals)
You mean like in Back to the Future II, when he takes back the sports results for the next sixty years? Well, I'll start with that (for the next 19 years, that is). And how about stock quotes too, while I'm at it (I know these aren't physical, but information pays the most). Then the next few major advancements in computer technology after 1985...I'm running out of ideas here, I'm not that creative. A cell phone, just so they can skip the whole boxy-looking phase and go straight to small and sleek. I'm trying to get off the technology track and think of maybe a pop culture item that would fetch a good price in 1985, but I wasn't actually alive then. Somebody else help with the last two?
But I do want to ask a question: I am very curious to know, are you ticklish?
how about star wars figurines still in the box? or a barbie?
and yes i am...painfully
you?
Yes, I am terribly afraid of it.
But I know at least five of what I would take - Harry Potter books;) All that money.
Hey, what about a question?
I'm extremely ticklish too, which kind of bothered me, because I always thought that my husband wasn't so I had to resort to pinching to defend myself. It took a year and a half, but I figured it out, so I can save him from getting bruises all over his arms :lol:
Do you torture yourself by taking on too much work?
Oh, yes.
I´m working on not doing that. But it´s really hard!
Do you exercise - and how?
Hmm, that's a point of controversy in my house. My husband used to do triatholons and always says how much we need to go running together. But everytime we do, he goes too fast and I get frustrated and don't want to go again. But I find if I go by myself at my own pace, I'm okay. So, I guess, when I have the time, I run. (He hasn't done a race in a long time anyway, so he can't really talk!)
Ever feel like your responses are unnecessarily too long?
Yes, I have this annoying tendancy to ramble...
Have you ever had cinnamin (sp?) and sugar on toast with butter?
No - but I think I will try it now.
Ever had toast with honey?
yes but i prefer it with peanut butter and honey...
(and the cinnamon sugar is wonderful!)
what is your favorite ice cream topping?
I love all the aforementioned toasts...and I prefer ice cream plain, just with a variety of flavors, but I guess chocolate chips count as toppings. So, chocolate chips. And I'm extremely ticklish. And I like your 1985 ideas. :)
are you dying with excitement until the next Harry Potter book comes out?
Not at all...never given a damn about it and I had no clue there was another one planned...
do you ever wear purple?
I can't think of anything purple that I own so I guess no I don't wear purple.
Do you think men should start wearing hats again? Not baseball caps, but real hats like fedoras.
not really. men don't look nice in hats and besides you would have to wear suit to suit :) it
why do we wash bannanas before eating if we wash only the skin which we then throw away?
we wash bananas??
i must be lazy.
do you peel grapes? if not for yourself, your honey?
I peeled them once to see if I could.
Do you believe in ghosts or spirits?
No
Is there any reason why I should?
Nope.
Who wrote the book of love?
Ovid.
Why does Charlie Brown sigh?
because he doesnt know how else to cope with life....
how is it we have so few coping skills in western civ?
In Western European countries like Spain and Italy, there is still a very strong family setup, so that in times of crisis, the family all pull together and help out. In the UK, this was really eroded away when the populace began to migrate from rural to urban areas, during the Ind. Rev. In the US, a mobile workforce, long work hours, wage inequality, and other economic factors tend to mean that family cohesion is difficult, and as a result there is far more marriage breakdown, child abuse and street crime than might be expected in other Western areas. So my answer to your question is: it is not really like that all over Western civilization, and where it is, the best that can be done is to change those factors that dissolve the family setup (political rhetoric and tough crime legislation is not the answer IMO)
Can literature really change anything in the world?
Not directly.
Has any piece of literature changed your opinions/views?
Of Course. (and for what it’s worth, I think that literature has changed, and continues to change, the world. I’m thinking of anything from the The Bhagavad Gita to The Federalist Papers)
What has had more influence on western thought/culture (that may be two questions): the Homeric Epics or the Bible?
easy... the Bible... its sold more copies and has a much greater readership... and people study the Bible their whole lives... not too many people study the homeric epics their entire life.
If you had a confederate flag, would it be worth the risk to lower it when neo-nazis like richard butler die? (just for a gag)... or would you rather not stake your reputation on this joke?
I wouldn't do it, who are you playing the joke on? It doesn't seem like a good joke.
What's the best practical joke you've ever played on somebody?
whoopy-cushion on the organist in an uptight small town Baptist church
which practical joke has backfired the worst for you?
This guy, we'll call him "Jeff" at work complained that he thought his cubicle was getting smaller (which it wasn't). So we decided to make it smaller, every couple of days we would inch the cubicle walls closer together, we made up a calender and sold days for a dollar and whichever day Jeff noticed - that person would win the money. Jeff is notorious for being oblivious to his surroundings at one point he leaned back in his chair and hit his head on the file cabinet half the people in the room had to leave as not to laugh in his face. Anyways we had to give the guy the money because he made though the whole calender without noticing. The last day he was on the phone and a couple people got on either side of his file cabinets and pushed them so the file cabinets blocked him in his cube then we gave him the money and told him the whole story.
Is it true that humans are the only mammals that drink milk after infancy?
Yea, I just read somewhere we are not meant to drink milk as an adult. But I can't live without milk. Even as a child I consumed too much milk and ended up a giant in my classes.
What are the skills you have that absolutely no one else has?
I can kill a conversation with swift ease... but only if i'm not trying...
Its not exclusive to me... but its rare.
I used to play first person shooter video games using only the keyboard... and be extremely good... I played Rogue Spear with two fingers on page up and page down and two on the arrow keys.... and the other hand on left hand shift, ctrl, alt and space...
I just found it easier...
what completely useless skills do you have that nearly no one else has?
I don't know if it can be considered a skill, but I can bend both my index fingers and one of my middle fingers back in an arch to touch the back of my hand...it's fun watching people's faces as this creeps them out.
Same question to next person
That is creepy! I have a very flexible jaw, so I can put my front teeth over my upperlip, just under the nose, and kind of fold the tip of the nose under the lip. It´s kind of disgusting and I can scare small children that way. And make unwanted strangers in bars leave me alone.
Do you have any habits that other people find strange? I eat dinner with my cousin evry monday , while we are watching the TV series CSI. We call it "dinner with corpses". My boyfriend thinks we are weird.
there is a stretch of road that I refuse to drive on the correct side of.... if there is other traffic, i just go really slow with my hazard lights on...
can anyone top that?
No, my mayor wierdness is barely that that I greet "Good morning" almost all the time (even when it is, like 23. 30) My excuse is : "Well, there is bound to be morning somewhere, like in USA or Japan or somewhere ;)"
Why are some mobile phone ringtones called "polyphonic" ringtones, when they are obviously not?
But they are, they "consist of more than one line of sound", which is the (musical) meaning of polyphony. Or
"Music with two or more independent melodic parts sounded together."
Well that would be stretching it a little but the "more than one line", which is written in my musical reference book (not sure which one but one of them)...
So they're polyphonic as opposed to monophonic, which is (dull, dreary, monotonous) with only ONE line of sound.
Have you seen Shrek 2?
(Pretty...strange...question, considering your avatar! :D )
Sorry, I can't seem to edit....
I meant,
Have you seen Shrek 2.
To the person below me who is yet undecided.
Yep, I have
Will you vote for Orlando in the book club forum? :D:D:D

No, I haven't ;)
Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear? or Où sont les Neigedens d'antan? as some might say...
Have no clue whatsoever.
Where is your Shangri La?
