That's why it's so descriptive :) (To strut ostentatiously, parade)Quote:

Trainspotting?
Nay, boring.
Sleeping 12 hours in one night?
The movie isn't that boring, though.Quote:

Aurelius' Meditations?

Saying "iconic" when all you mean is "famous"?
Nope. People mean it to imply that famous and good are the same thing, and as we all know, I'm too hipsterish not to feel threatened by that.
Tantalizing mystery?
Iconic is such an odious term. And lazy.
Of course! Life is but the interface of history and mystery, is it not?
Using "epiphany" to mean anything other than "a manifestation"?
Iconic is a fine word when used properly.

No to other uses of epiphany.
Icons?
Aye - they're mysterious.
The resurrection of Ancient Greek religion?
Nay. It's more fun once you acknowledge it as bullsh*t.
Fairy Ballads?
Aye for fairy ballads.
But how religious were the Greeks - did they really believe in that stuff?
It's a very complicated question. The simplest answer is that people believed in different degrees of literality depending on socioeconomic status, philosophical inclination, and to a degree individual variability. But almost everyone believed that the gods existed in some way; including the Epicureans; and even the early Christians (who thought they were demons).
And aren't Fairy Ballads cool?
Use of the term "game changer" in any capacity whatsoever?
When Clopin traps his own rook, yes.
Indonesian food?
HahaQuote:

Never tried Indonesian food that I know of.
Fast food?
Fast food when in a hurry, or perhaps before Easter..
And Ashton Kutcher is infamous rather than famous.
Tchaikovsky's 1st PC?
Nay.
KIDDING
Aye.
Sideburns?
There's a new recording of the Tchai PC1, based on the composer's original version, unlike the edited score that has been heard usually. It sounds very interesting, in a good way. And it doesn't hurt that it's coupled with the Proky 2nd PC, one of my absolute favourite pieces of music. I'm sure you'd enjoy it - Prokofiev wrote it after the death of a very close friend of his, so it's extra cheerful ;)

Nay for sideburns.
Did you know they're actually named after a mr. Burnside? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sideburns
Nay sir, I did not.
I will try to check that out!
Bison meat?
I haven't eaten bison meat but I'd certainly give it ago, so aye.
BLT?
e'ery day.
Do you take compliments well?
Sometimes one may take me by surprise and I might be baffled by it.
Same question.
I'll let you know when I get my first.
Do you flirt for fun?
I flirt with the exclusive aim of making myself look like a fool in public, with the added bonus of alienating whatever woman I'm talking to! Never fails.
Same question.
I can't say I flirt for fun, no.
Blue cheese?
Big aye.
Gruyere?
Big aye.
Rye bread?
Nay.
The taste of vinegars?
Broken links my friend! Try again?
(I am perversely attracted to strongly vinegary foods)
The links work for me, and they're not private. https://www.flickr.com/photos/janacekian/13758460183/ & https://www.flickr.com/photos/janacekian/11011018033/
The question stands, regardless of the links. :)

Annie Leibovitz?
I'm not a big Leibovitz fan, though I appreciate her technical strengths.
Yes that is my work, and yes it is quite unbalanced :( I had other versions from the same session on an old hard drive once, but uh, while playing chess on the internet years ago I got really angry and smacked my computer across the room and that was the end of that. About 20,000 photos gone.
The smell of oranges?
Aye... and their blossoms
Cool rainy nights? ................ we have rain !
As long as I'm warm and snug, I'm quite fond of them.
Pistachios?
Big aye.
Black licorice?
Naype.
Abstract strategy board games?
