    re: "Whaling's a Massachusetts thing."... and Emily isn't?

    Improv... after planning (it's like magic sometimes)

    Inspiration or perspiration ?

    would you see me origami

    You got to have both to succeed in any art form. Subconscious improvising has to inform the rational planning of craft, and vice versa. My art is literary criticism, so I lean towards the planning. However my perception and appreciation of the art I critique and theorize about needs to be guided by the pleasure--"jouissance"--of the text and the free flow of my thoughts.

    Surfing of snowboarding?

    Fair enough.

    I'm Ishmael, who are you?
    Are you with the Pequod's crew?
    And do you come without a doubt
    To freely stick the fish that spout?
    How dreary to be Ahab,
    The silly sulking sod!
    To sail the seas of destinies
    And kill his father's God.

    Old whale bone used for art (scrimshaw) or total ban?

    The internet, where you can textually interact with people like you, or real life, where you can physically interact with people not so like you?

    Chocolate chip - and anyone who thinks otherwise is a monster.

    Unless you mean oatmeal raison cookies; whose reason is oatmeal. Then I'm just confused!

    How's that for a lame pun?

    EDIT: Goya by a lot.

    Do you think using vision aids (glasses, contacts) makes your vision worse?

    No, that's an illusion based on the fact that your vision IS worse.

    Oh and this is the this or that thread.

    Snoopy or Scooby

    Whoops!

    Snoopy, much cuter.

    Chess or Go? If you play neither, which board looks cooler?
