Of course not. I hardly gnome!
If Djibouti were playing Somalia for the World Cup, would you bet Djibouti?

Great question, um, yes.
Would you (if you were of draft age) evade the draft today? (I realise you may or may not have been of draft age in the past, but given today's circumstance, in your country of residency).
No. I actually had to register for the draft, as my children have also. I was never activated. I may not agree with everything in America, but it is my home and if called to defend it, I would.
Would you join the military if you thought you could serve out your time stateside?
Although I'm not American, I cannot serve due to flat feet and not sure if I am what any militarily invasive country would really want.
Would you mind if your adult child/neice/nephew/grandchild/younger close relative smokes marijuana in your immediate presence at your home?
No that wouldn't bother me, as long as it was not in the house because I don't want the smell in my house.
Same question
Yes.Quote:

If they are an adult than that is their choice to make. LOL I never smoked myself but when I was in high school I hung out with all the stoners. The act of them smoking/getting high wouldn't really bother me. I have friends and a cousin that smokes.
Would you date someone who smoked cigarettes or e-cigarettes?
hhm, I'm not a big fan of tobacco for health reasons. I would date them yes. I have no issue with E Cigs.
Would you be able to say that you have dated for longer than 6 months a guy subsequent to your 27th birthday who made 60% or less of your salary? If you, as you might, did not ask his salary, you very well may have had an idea. (I put the parameters in there for a reason....)
I'm not sure of your question. Do you mean sleep or have sex with? If sleep, I would, unless the other person wanted to cuddle so much that it would endanger my life. If you mean sex, that presents a more difficult personal problem. Clean and disease free? Not a sadist? Not a serial killer? A hating person?
You said stranger. I would prefer a female. Not that females are better than males. It's just my bonding preferences.
And if she was a nympho waitress from Los Angeles, California, like the one I spent time with in the past, there'd be no need for a money reward.
Ooops, I meant the question for females.Quote:

I have but not subsequent to my 27th birthday. Wait. Not sure we made it six months.
Would you read a friends book and give honest feedback?
Yes, and I've done so. I put the positve first, as we are friends - and that's more important than the book.
Would you ever own a restaurant, lets just say you were given it, but you had to run it on your own balance sheet thereafter?
No. My business sense comes to a stop after I collect the small change from the corners of my wallet. Also, what's a balance sheet?
Would you use a friend's toothbrush?
I don't think I would, irrational as I am, even though there's really no sound physiological reason not to, if the said friend doesn't happen to have a cold or some other catching disease. Well, I might use it to polish silverware...Quote:

I would use Clopin's, he's rich and can afford it.
If you were going to the Met with me today, what would you suggest we see?
Since the Metropolitan Opera doesn't appear to have anything on today, it will have to be the art museum. Lets see - it would be a long day :D :Quote:

A Passion for Jade - The Heber Bishop Collection
Discovering Japanese Art - American Collectors and the Met
Sargent: Portraits of Artists and Friends
Chinese Lacquer - Treasures from the Irving Collection, 12th–18th Century
Which would you be most interested in?
Probably the Japanese art and the Sargent and Van Gogh. I also want to see the Turners and Vermeers!
Would you wake up a friend whose apartment you were staying in, and who said they would take go with you to the met (museum), but kept hitting snooze?
Turners!!!! Vermeers!!! I only glanced at the exhibitions, but of course there are loads of permanent works there I'd love to see. Turner is one of my absolute favourite artists, perhaps the favourite.Quote:

Would you rather see the Turners or the Vermeers?
Tough but probably the Vermeers. They have late Turners though! I will make both of them priority of course.
She's up now :)
Would you teach me how to cook?
Sure.Quote:

That's the better question. I've tried. I liked the part where I ate what I cooked.
What would you say to him if you met Andy Warhol?
I probably wouldn't say anything. I'm rather indifferent about his art. What would you say?Quote:

Who would you pick as your single favourite writer?
Chekhov.
Same question.
Shakespeare (too obvious, and I'm reading AMND and spent yesterday afternoon reading the Sonnets and Let the Bird of Loudest Lay)
Who would you pick as your single favourite musician (classical composers, popular music, or if you must, a classical performer)?
Joanna Newsom.
Keep it going.
mmmmmmmmmm Elliott Smith? or Beethoven.
Would you consider yourself a hipster?
No. I wouldn't consider myself anything close to a hipster.
Would you want to go back in time seven years (with your memories intact, and with the stipulation that you can't profit financially from these memories) if it meant that at the moment of your death the way you may originally have died would be replaced with you being eaten alive by rats?
You've asked that one before, no wants that deal!
Would you say buying this shirt was a good, bad, or very bad idea?
http://store.metmuseum.org/tops/fift...fifthavenuetee
I'm neutral on it. I don't like when the design fills the entire shirt like that.
Would you feel comfortable giving a speech at a family reunion?
Yes.
Would you emmigrate to another country given the right reasons?
K, so you're neutral but you don't like it. Hm. There were other better designs, but only for women :(
No.
Oops the no was for Clopin's question.
Yes to Tony's.
Would you agree to switch to the middle seat if money was offered to you (as just happened on the plane I'm on)?
Haha I'm uncomfortable with taking money from people so I would probably decline the offer but give them the seat if they seemed somehow infirm, or like they really needed the aisle/window. Also how long is the flight? If it's more than ten hours, well... maybe I'm a little less nice.
I don't hate your shirt beau, it will probably look nice on you.
Would you rather live in Scotland or Quebec?
yes, i'd switch - small issue.
Would you have dinner on your own where you live (not business or travel, just out to solo dinner and home)?
It's a five hour flight, and she wanted to sit with her kid, who seems about six. I was one of the people who offered to switch, but yeah, taking money for such a little thing would have made me uncomfortable.
Probably Scotland, a bit easier to understand what people are saying, plus it's not quite so cold as Quebec, right?
Late again. Tony: I would and do.
Would you rather watch My Little Pony or eat an undercooked snail?
I don't see why you should be bothered about someone offering money for you for the trouble. The mother and child will get to sit together, and you get a few bucks for making them happy. I might understand it if she had offered a very large amount of money (and in that case I would have jumped on the opportunity even more eagerly ;) ) or that she will starve in consequence.Quote:

No dining out on my own.
I haven't eaten an undercooked snail but it sounds like a treat compared to wasting a considerable part of an hour of my life.
Would you rather listen to Bach's Goldberg Variations played on a harpsichord or a piano?
I am a decent human being and listen to it on piano, with the caveat that I only listen to Gould's in which he tried very hard to make a piano sound like a harpsichord.
What would you like to listen to on an airplane? Anything in particular?
Very Whitmanian of you to say that you are a decent human being and listen to Bach's harpsichord works played on the piano. ;)Quote:

E: What would you do if the person sitting next to you listened to some unpleasant music on open headphones and it disturbed you and you couldn't change your own place or otherwise escape the noise?
