Yeah - fill the hole with Oil Industry executives. Should work, and if it doesn't, it'll save a fortune in litigation. They may, of course, take their own golf balls with them.
Who was the gretest engineer? The inventor of the steam engine, the internal combustion engine or the deep-fat frier? Give reason, however spurious.
so many but the inventor that I thank every day is the one who invented the flush toilet
that's a great question, so same question again
The one who made the first inventions (like the wheel), without their first steps, no one else could have proceeded...
I like this question too...same question?
The guy who invented Bratwurst?
Was splitting the atom a good thing or a bad thing?
Jeez - an impossible question... I cannot answer.
Same question
Hoist with my own petard!!!!!
Should Iced Buns have currants in them, or are they better plain?
Why would anyone wat to ice a bun? Buns are best un-iced as Al Capone used to say. But with currents left in.
I didn't realise that Capone was such an authority on sticky buns. Never seen him in our local bakery. I wonder what he'd make of Belgian Buns? Or the odd Sally Lunn?

Favourite Oscar Wilde quote?

Favourite Wilde piece?
See No Evil, Hear No Evil -- 1986 movie with Gene Wilde(r) and Richard Pryor
Worst movie of all time?
Love Story. I nearly vomited, and I can still tste it, 38 years down the line!
Why do we do this?
Because it is easier than doing that.
Which book have you been reading these days?
Mr. Midshipman Easy, and no, I dont know why!
Which is better on chips, gravy, mayo or vinegar? Or nothing?
potato chips or corn chips? I can eat corn chips with nothing but I usually load up on salsa. Potato chips don't need anything, but I do like vinegar chips.
have you toasted marshmallows in a fireplace?
Yes...indoor, outdoor, even on a candle
I would toast them with a mouse, I would toast them in a house, I would toast them with a fox, and I would toast them in a box, I would toast them here OR there, I would toast marshmallows ANYWHERE!!!!! LOL
Do you like SMORES?
Ah, got me, I'm afraid I don't know what they are - not available in Britain. By the same token, what we call chips you call Fries, and what we call crisps you call chips. Confused yet?
No, because here, down under we are like you, in England.
Yeah.
I hadn't realise that the humble chip (Spudus dripfatii) was so international! Yay for chips!
The only thing that doesn't like the humble chip, is my derriere.
Do you think that the humble chip could be improved? (hardly)
Salt and vinegar make it almost aristocratic. The trick is in the heat of the oil. Got to be very hot. Too cold and it sucks in the oil. It'll be that that your derriere (wonderful word - sooo ... French) dislikes.
For the sake of Maryd's dignity, let's move elsewhere.
What is your idea of the perfect three-course meal?
Pumpkin soup with sour cream, Lasagne and steamed vegetables and lastly a beautiful pavlova, topped with plenty of fresh strawberries. (Sweet red wine for the meal of course)
Same question?
clams on the half shells, lobster with corn on the cob, cole slaw, red potato fries, key lime pie
same question!
Living in Japan, the food just keeps coming...it is too difficult to choose 3 dishes. But if I was eating western food then maybe...a tomato based starter, followed by either pizza or steak and kidney pie, with chocolate cake for desert. But in truth i'd rather go Japanese
how important do you rate table manners?
not sure...is taking the pickles from someone else's plate acceptable?
have you ever gotten hungry but just too lazy to eat?
Yes...
Have you ever been in a series accident?
I was hit by an 18-wheeler but no injury or damage...
do you have a guardian angel watching over you?
More like the devil... Send him away... Please.
Are you fearful of someone currently, in your life?
Not at all, after all, what can they do to you? Even if they can kill you, they can't eat you!
Good question, though. Same again!
Yes... Everytime I look in the mirror, some weirdo, nutcase, threatens to get me.
Many reflections do you have when you look in the mirror?
Just one, and though I'm not frightened of him, I don't like him sometimes. I also wish he'd lose weight and grow a bit of hair on the top of his head.
Why do men wear earrings, but not coloured nail varnish?
some men do wear nail varnish.
when i was at school, the really rebellious kids would have an earring...it was supposed to show how tough they were. Nail varnish doesn't really work like that, i guess.
if you changed into an animal, what would you like to be?
A chameleon, so that I can change my mind when I feel like it.
Is the concept of four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie still socially acceptable, given that the birds were still in good enough nick to fly?
